Made II FIT Are name

''Red Rock, NJ ~ said al man who
| spent some time there, 'sisn't sffihc1l iof
place, but tllereis something inter
asting about it that 1 fancy all the
world doesn't know. The present name
Is not the one it has always borne, and
what it's other name was l don't know.
Whatever 1t was the people did not
like it and concluded they would
change it. There was no particular
reason why they should call 1t Red
Rock, but that was determined upon,
and so Red Rock it became. sfs{
Then in the course Of time strangers
Of an inquiring turn of mind began to
ask why the place had such q name,
and as no reason could be given new
corners to the neighborhood began to
want a name that meant something.
This insistence grew SO strong that the
old residents began to look around for
reason for the name Of their place,
and at last they found a huge bowlder
near by which they said was what had
suggested the name. But the bowlder
was gray instead Of red, and the pro-
gressists insisted that that would not
do. At last the old timers hit upon
new plan, and, procuring a barrel Of red
paint, they painted the big rock red.
Red Rock indeed it was now, and not
only was all opposition to the name
overcome, but the painting Of the rock
every spring has become an annual
festival, and the people celebrate it
with big picnic and general celebra-
ton.
ut was new idea to me, and IL
there is any other town anywhere on
earth that is christened every spring
with red paint or any other color

A glimpse Of the Japanese.

Mrs. Hugh Fraser, the author, wild
ow of an English diplomat and sister
Of Marion Crawford, says Of her life
in Japan, to which her husband was
minister from Great Britain:
The absence Of snobbishness and kim
dred vices in Japan impresses itself
very clearly upon one. There are two
characteristics Of the Japanese which
stand out very boldly. Home life is
paramount. and the possession Of mon
ey is but lightly regarded. Any one
who would pretend to be richer than
he is would be calmly avoided as a
fool. Money is not spoken Of, the alb
sence of it is not apologized for A
person living in poor way gives a
guest all he has to offer and is not hui
inflated at having to show his power
ty. The rich man does not overwhelm
you with his riches. He shows you
one beautiful object from his collection
at time in an empty room, only beau
tiful through it's perfect proportions,
coloring and cleanliness. These people
travel through life so lightly weighted,
their requirements are so few in the
material order, that they seem as ir lie
pendent as the swallows and fly where
we, weighted down by the commissariat
for our, artificial wants, can only creep.
But they hold invisible things very pre-
cieus. Honor and self respect the love
of their children, the harmony Of the
family, the privilege of patriotism, the
commonwealth of learning, these are
things for which they will sacrifice
much.

Value of a Familiar Face.

"a employee of the Chicago Tribune
once found the fact that his face was
familiar to the late Joseph Medill de-
cidedly to his advantage In the last
years of his life Mr.. Medill did not
spend much time in Chicago and took
no active part in the management Of
his paper, but when he was in the city
he went to his office pretty regularly.
He knew all the old faces, but few of
the new ones, and it was too late in life
for him to accustom himself to them.
He never knew to whom. to give copy
that he wished printed if the managing
editor happened to be absent On one
occasion he handed some to repre-
sentative of another paper who chanc-
ed to be in the building. The man had
been employed on The Tribune some
years previously, so his face was IA
miliar to Mr.. Medill, while the faces Of
the men then actually in his employ
were not.
One day he suddenly inquired what
had become of the old night editor.
''He's in Boston," was the reply.
well, want him." said Mr., Medill.
It was explained that the man had
an excellent place in Boston and proba-
bly, would not care to come back, but
Nj. Medill persisted that he wanted
him.
81 know him. he said, "and want a
familiar face in that room. I want
some one who isn't stranger to me.
Telegraph him that Medill wants hint
So the man with ''the old familiar
face" although he was not an old man
by any means, went back to The Trib-
une on his own terms. Youths Com
panion.

Cock Shooting In Tail Corr.

Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy
to the expert as it is puzzling to the
novice. You will, Of course, work with
the rows, not across them, and If you
are wise you will shoot at every
glimpse of bird and very frequently
after an instant's sight Of him, when
you can only guess where he is. Sharp
work, say We, my masters. Yes, In q
measure, but not so wonderful after an.
You certainly must be ever ready and
swift and smooth in action, but actual
sight of the bird at the instant of pull
Ing trigger is not necessary.
Green corn won't stop even fine shot,
and your charge will give a pattern as
big as a bushel basket; hence the shak-
ing of leaf, the flick Of vanishing
wing, are enough for the master of the
art In an instant his gun is on the
spot where species of lightning cal
culation tells him the bird should be,
and the trigger is pressed without the
slightest delay. The difficulty with the
novice is to get him to shoot at once in
stead of waiting in vain for clear
view. Experts kill bird after bird in
this way. The novice must dismiss all
thoughts of empty shells. No good
sportsman worries over misses, though
he will learn from failures how to hold
next time. There is NO royal road to
success in the field. Nothing but ex-
perience really counts. So let. the now
Ice crack away, although he may only
get one bird in ten. We all know what
he'll get If he doesn't shoot at ALL
Outing.
