that the annual shoot at that place
ended Friday with some excellent
shooting and all participants we're ex-
pressive of a delightful time, and did
the right thing for the Wynnewood
gun club in the way Of thanks for the
entertainment.
In the championship contest the
first day Joe Rohrer of El Reno, Bud
Conlee of Ardmore and DR.. Rushing
Of Durant were the strongest contest
ants. DR.. Rushing won the prize with
16 straight birds, but had nothing to
brag Of for Conlee and Rohrer each
dumped their 16, but they fell one
each across the line, and the doctor s
last bird lit on the line post and died
as he brought IL in.
Conlee and Rohrer are each entitled
to much credit as marksmen.

CATCHING A THIEF.
An ola Method Utilised by . German
Omcer In China.


Thirty dollars was stolen at the Of
ficers' club in Tientsln, China, and the
members of the club resolved, II posi-
BILE, 10 catch the thief.
A German captain volunteered to
manage the affair, and the first thing
he did was to summon all the native
servants of the club. He then said to
them:
"Some money has been stolen here,
and am looking for the thief. shall
find him In an hour, not before, since
need that much time in order to get
instructions from a celebrated magi-
clan in Germany"
An hour later all the servants were
again summoned, but this time into n
stood the table on which the money
stolen had been laid.
Each OF you, now," said the officer,
must go up TO that table aad press on
II first your right and then your left
hand, and when that is done you must
raise your two hands over your head
and step into the next room"
Aht NJ anu uu hht huoe
one stepped into the adjoining room
the officer followed him, and after
looking for Il few moments at the many
upllfted hands he pointed TO one man
and said, 'You are the thief" The
Chinaman TO whom he pointed nearly
fell TO the ground with fright and ad-
mitted his guilt and promised to make
restitution.
Very simple was the method adopted
by the officer for discovering the cul-
prit. While the native servants sup
posed that his spirit was In Germany
In communion with the celebrated ma
gician he was carefully smearing the
surface Of the table In the dark room
with fat and oil, which he then black
ened by means OF SCOT The innocent
servants naturally pressed their hands
on the table, according to his instruc-
tions, but the culprit, though super.
stitious, did not do 80.
AS result, while the uplifted hands
of all the others were coal black, his
were Of a natural color, and thus his
guilt was clearly proved.-Detroit Free

KILLED THE SPIDER.
Deadly Influence of n Small Magnet
on the Insect.


An experiment made by a scientist
TO test the influence which a magnet
will have on a spider is of interest.
The magnet employed was small
steel one of the u shape, the legs OF
which were about two and a half
inches long by one-h half inch wide and
one-sixth OF an inch thick, the distance
between the poles being about one
quarter OF an inch.
Having noticed a small spider active
ly running along his armchair, he
brushed 1t off upon the carpet, where
II began to run, but was somewhat i'm
peded by the roughness of the fabric.
He now slid the magnet along the car
pet, following after the spider, till the
ends OF the poles were within a quar-
ter of an inch OF II. The animal, with
out being touched, almost instantly
stopped, and on Withdrawing the mag
net the spider continued on his jour
ney.
The experimenter then placed the
magnet within half an inch In front OF
the spider, and, Withdrawing II slow
ly, the latter followed II In every direc-
tion which the magnet took, both in
straight and circuitous routes.
Gradually, however, the spider be-
came 80 strongly magnetized as to be
immovable for several minutes, the
magnetic influence seeming to lose its
further power. On Withdrawing the
magnet altogether the spider began to
recover somewhat.
The scientist ultimately placed a
tumbler over the spider and the mag
net covering them both completely,
and at the expiration OF several min
utes the spider, after struggle to es-
cape from the strong influence which
the magnet exercised over it. was
dead.-Exchange.
