1t is soon after this, however, that one
begins to tire. The eyelids ~roop, and
the strange ideas that flash across the
brain warn one that there is danger of
falling asleep. In my case this was the
n great torture. I could not get sleepy
at the proper time. When I stopped for
rest I was as wide awake as ever in my
life, and just as soon az I got out upon
the road again I began to get sleepy. AS
the result I went through the ride with
about as little sleep as any cyclist has
ever taken in the same length & time.
Of course this toIu Upon me and l should
have COMPLETED the ride in muc bet
ter condition if I had been able to regu-
late this impulse to sleep. AS it was,
however, there was nothing the matter
with me when the ride was ended, and SO
I have nothing to complain of.
Another unpleasant accompaniment of
such a ride is the desire for solid food,
the CONTINUED feeling as if n had for
gotten to eat. OF course. I had plenty
to eat, such as it was, and I 4ully real
lied that that my attendants We're Civ
ing me just exactly the kind of food that
was best for me, but all the time I was
thinking how nice it would seem if l
could sit down to a real dinner once

HI PROPER FOOD.

When a cyclist is making a long run
solid food is the worst thing that can
be eaten, and l can sincerely recommend
the diet to which I was subjected, for
I believe that much of my success was
due to the fact that my food was SO
wisely selected. I had soup-several
kinds of soup; soft boiled eggs; toast
in several forms; Strawberries; oranges;
rhubarb; tea, coffee and milk.
For stimulants l had a few glasses of
claret and a little ale; for medicine, a
few small doses of magnesia, which were
taken more as a preventive than because
they We're actually required. With this
Diet I kept up nv strength wonderfully
well, was able to keep my nerves under
control, so that I did not get cranky n
irritable like so many long distance cy-
clists. ad when I finished my stomach
was in good condition.

Her simple ways, her gentle grace,
Her easy manners, free from art,

And life seemed full of happiness.
No love but mine had ever stirred

SCIENTIFIC RIFLE
SHOOTING

E
r..r
Peculiar Facts That Must Be Learned
BY the Man VINO Wants to Know
How to Handle His Gun.
By j. L. Conkhng.

There is a science about rifle shooting
that is undreamed of by the novice until
ne has learned by sad experiences that
the pulling of the trigger is not the only
requisite to success. Gradually he will
learn that shooting, especially over a
range, has been reduced theoretically to
an exact science. Distances have bee.A
fixed the velocity of crossing currents of
air have been gagged, and formulas have
been arranged for lessening or decreasing
the force of the charges. Cou!Ssless ex-
periments have been made ia show lust
what elevation of the rear sight will
place the projectile at a certain height
upon the butts started from a certain
distance away, and even the lights and
shadows and the relations borne by them
to the target have been accurately fig
urad down to what is almost a mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty.
h all these things are important
they do not make the rifeman. Such
rules of necessity immeasurably improve
the bad shot, but they do not make the
sharp shooter. Not to know them, how
eyer, IS more than apt to doom one to
something like failure, but to become u
perfect rifleman 1T is also necessary to
take ones instructions in the school of
experience. One must go into the field,
or down the range. and then, through
patient exerticns and countless failures
and exasperations, work ones way up
ward to the top.

A NOVICE'S MISTAKE.
The commonest mistake of the novice
is to use a u with too much drop,
the result of which Is the tendency to
understanding. The drop of a gun is
the butts distance below the breech, and
as a general thing a drop of two and a
quarter inches will De sufficient. When
In the range, or when shooting at a sta
tionary target the tendency to under
shooting can be somewhat corrected by
the drawing of a coarser sight, but when
the deer is bounf ng between tree trunks
and a hundred yards away the hunter
has no time to mink of anytA ing i
