A Strange Target,

In "The Book Of the Rifle" the Hon,
t. F. Freemantle tells the following
amusing story apropos Of accidents to
markers:
"Sir Henry Halford on one occasion
1t was not a very clear day--was
about to begin shooting at 1000 yards
and, thinking that the marker must
now be ready for him to begin, asked
him through the telephone, Are you
all right?' The marker replied, "All
right, sir, in minute;;' but, unluckily,
Sir Henry took All right, sir instead
of the whole sentence and removed tie
telephone from his ear. He lay down
and fired his shot, and on looking
through the telescope to see where it
had hit was Mortified to see the marker
with perfectly white face staggering
toward his shelter. He was intensely
alarmed, and in moment there came
a ring at the telephone. What has
happened? Are you badly hurt?' NO,
sir, am not hurt; but had bucket
of whitewash between my legs paint
ing the target, and you put bullet into
1t and splashed it all up in my face"

That Didn't Count.
A distinguished officer of the United
States navy once told this story on him
self:
At the time Of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had had
many narrowing experiences aboard
ship, through all of which he kept cour-
age and remained as calm as a brave
man should. AS the time for the cere-
mony came on. however, his calmness
gradually gave way. At the altar, amid
the blaze of brass buttons and gold
lace marking the full naval wedding,
the officer was all but stampeded and
what went ON there seemed very much
mixed to him. Fearing the excitement
Of the moment would temporarily take
him Off his feet, the officer had learned
the marriage ceremony letter perfect,
as he thought. and he remembered re-
peating the words after the minister in
a mechanical sort OF way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again, including the Off
GERS state of mind. the kindly clergy.
man came up to him and touched him
on the shoulder.
"Look hece, old man." he said, "you
didn't endow your wife with any
worldly goods"
"What's that?" asked the bridegroom,
with something of establishment in his
voice.
"Why, l repeated the sentence with
all NV worldly pOods thee endOW' Sow
eral times and despite my efforts you
would not say it after me-"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed for
moment, and then beaming light
came into his face.
"Never mind. SIR" he said. "She
didn't lose a blessed thing by my fail
nre."-W Washington Star.
