OPIE READS AIM IN LIFE.
Helped Out by His Excellent Execu.
ton with a Target ~
Rifle.

Mr.. Opie Reads favorite pastime is
target shooting, and he is as expert
with the rifle as with the pen. With his
friend, Mr.. Stanley Waterloo, he spent
a summer ranging the hills about Hot
Springs, Ark. If the traditions of his
craftsmanship still current among the
proprietors of the numerous shooting
galleries about that resort are to be
accepted, the author of" Kentucky.
Colonel ''lived off his rifle as truly
as did ever the most resourceful and
se1f-reliant mountaineer, says the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
Shortly after his arrival he discov-
cred a gallery which displayed as tar
gets rows of silver dollars with each
dollar suspended by string. These
were to be the prizes of the patron
who had the skill to cut the threads
with rifle shooting. Having more skill
than ready money, Mr.. Read saw an
opportunity to improve his financial
condition. He raised the rifle, to his
shoulder and did not put it down until
the thread holding each coin had been
cut. Pocketing the spoils, he pro-
ceeded to another shooting gallery and
the feat. Soon, however, his
fame as a marksman spread until not
a gallery dared expose one of the silver
targets. Then he took long tramp
among the mountains and remained
away. until the rumor that he had left
the springs for good gained accept
ance and the rows of dollars again
made their appearance on the target
lines. Suddenly he returned. and be-
fore the surprised. proprietor could
haul down his financial offer he
stepped inside the first gallery. that
came in his way and exclaimed:
Gimme that,rifle, man. 7 want jus t
one more 'possum dinner be fore I 90! y
And he won his feast at the point Of the
