In oontemporaneous book review
the designation ''fanatic'' is syste-

not use alcoholic stimulants and
who do not think such stimulants
good for people in general. The in
ference is that in order to escape
the imputation of fanatic;sm one
must either drink whisky himself or
encourage other people to drink it.
Not everyone, however, may agree

Sad Accident.

John Krisko, six-year-old son o.
Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Krisko, living au
Columbia Hei ghts, near Minneapolis
was accidentally shot and killed on
Co. F's rifle range, near his home.
The unfortunate shot was fired by
Percy A. Walton, captain of Co. F OF
the national guard.
The Militia squad consisted of nine
men, including Capt. Walton, First
Lieut.. STEELE Smith and Corp. Barring
Gould. Seven men had shot ten rounds
each at the 200-yard target. When
the eighth man came up to shoot
there were two men in the target pit
and seven at the shooting mark.
The eighth man had new rifle
with an ivory sight which he wished
to try, and he did try it. Then he
handed the rifle to Capt: Walton, with
the request that he try it also.
Capt. Walton examined the rifle
carefully, but said that he would not
shoot at the target, as the rifle was
too powerful.
Suddenly he swerved around to the
left, and said:
"Look here, I will fire at that
newspaper there" =
He leveled the rifle to his shoulder,
took careful sight, while his six COM
rades stood back of him watching the
mark, and then he fired.
His aim was too true. AS soon as
the bullet struck small boy jumped
up and then fell back.
It took but an instant for the hor-
rible truth to demonstrate itself to
the young soldiers. Instead of firing
at newspaper, Capt. Walton had
fired at a human target.
