good work, and the Woodstock team
as whole put up strong fight.
In the mile run Wyatt was lead
ing the field, but nearing home he
stopped short, mistaking mark
across the track for the finish line,
and so was passed by two men be-
hind him. This was an unfortunate
occurrence. but it put Wyatt on his
mettle and he sailed into the next
event, the pole vault, and won it
without any trouble.
The members of the Woodstock
team were: Earl Wyatt, Elmer
Storie, Carl Story, Homer Wilcox.
E. F. Brooks, Clayton Walker, Guy

Since We can no longer
Meet rs comrades here.
But away with sorrow!
Tho we soon must purt.

Rule ia every heart;
That when looking backward

A Good Shot.

A local sportsman, who has the rep
utation of being a very bad shot, re-
Gently invited some of his friends to
dine with him. Before dinner he
showed them a target painted on the
barn door, with a bullet in the bulls
eve. This he claimed to have shot at
1000 yards distance. AS nobody be-
lieved him, he offered to bet the price
of an oyster supper on it.
On one of his guests accepting the
wager, he produced two witnesses,
whose veracity could not be questioned,
to prove his assertion. AS they both
said that he had done what he claimed
he won the bet. At dinner the loser of
the wager asked how his host had
managed to fire such an excellent shot.
The host answered, 81 shot the bullet
at the door at distance of 81 900 yards
and then l painted the target around
it. - Exchange.
