WOMAN WHO COULD SHOOT.
Demonstrated Hs' Skill with the
Rifle without Having to
Hurt Anybody.

Astory told in the New York Evening
Post by a wife of factor of the Hudson
Bay fur trading company shows that
ability to do thing well sometimes
makes the actual doing unnecessary.
The woman had been brought up in the
post, where her father was chief fac
tor, and, like all the children and wom-
en-, had learned to use firearms with
ease and accuracy.
"My father'and the men had gone
away to conference with the Indians.
who had been hostile for some time"
she says. "They had left orders not
to open the gates of the fort.
ut was blistering day and the
water in the stockade grew warm. So
it was suggested that some one go to
the river and get fresh pailful. My
aunt agreed to GO, and marched out
alone with pail in one hand and a rifle
in the other.
owe stood behind the loopholes Of
the closed gate, saw her disappear
down the bank, come up again with a
dripping pail of fresh water, and set
picked it up again when she stopped
abruptly, gazing straight at the high
grasses on the right of the path be-
tween herself and the fort All eyes at
the loopholes turned in that direction,
too, and there, stealing through the
grasses with their war feathers and
war paint on, we saw two young ma
rauding warriors plainly bent on mis-
chief. They evidently knew that the
men were all out and only women in
the fort.
eve could not possibly shoot in my
aunt's defense without great risk of
hitting her. If we unfastened the gate,
one of the Indians could easily have
forced an entrance while the other
stopped her.
"But my aunt, instead of rushing in,
set down the pail. She looked again
where the Indians had now risen boldly
up directly under solitary tree.
'On the topmost branch of that tree
sat 'whisky-jack'-a bird of the jay
family which is common round camps
in the northern woods. Quick as a
flash she aimed her rifle, picked Off
that jay as coolly as if she had been It
target practice, and then, as calmly
lifting the pail of water, came slowly to
the gate, where we received her with
open arms.
'As for the Indians-well, there was
a flourish of greasy shoulders through
the long grass and the two braves had
disappeared"

TALES OF PRECIOUS STONES.
Up to Eighteenth Century, India Was
Supposed to he the Only
Diamond Country.

Not until India was discovered were
diamonds known to the western
world. The Indians called rock crys-
tai an "unripe diamond" and up to
the eighteenth century India was
supposed to be the only country
where that precious stone could be
found. Yet as far back as 500 B. G..
"didactic history" of precious
stones was written, and in Pliny's
time the supply must have been
plentiful, as he wrote: I'VE drink
out of mass of gems, and our
drinking vessels are formed of EN-.
eralds."
1t is difficult to determine whence
all the gems came. as discoveries
took care to leave no record. Tho
nations which traded in them were
afraid of their whereabouts being
known, and even the most ancient
merchants would not disclose any
definite locale.

KING AND BARBED WIRE.
An Entertaining Fable from the ORR
ent That Has a Highly In
structive Moral.

Being out on his bike one day for q
spin, the king came across a peasant
who was stretching wires from post to
post by the roadside, relates the Bos-
ton Globe. Never having seen tele-
phone line of that make before his
majesty paused and asked:
"Prithee, son of toll but what sort
OF machine do you call this?"
Sure, but it's barbed wire fence,
your highness," was the answer. "That
is to say, the wires have chin whiskers
on them at intervals of foot"
"And what's the object?"
ITO keep stray cows out of the
field When they run up again the
whiskers they stop in surprise"
81 dunno about that" unused the
king in doubtful tones. "1'm no cow,
but I think 1 could go through that
fencing a-kiting. I've run over about
everything in Persia up to this date,
and guess I'll try your whiskered
fence. just stand aside while play
tlne on those wires.
Its my duty to warn your blessed
majesty lHdC UlU VI dSGOulSnIDent Is
waitin' for somebody" protested the
peasant.
Its for you, probably. Look out for
splinters when I strike"
The ruler of all Persia and boss of
the sun and moon mounted his bike
and took little turn up the road to
get start, and then he came down
like runaway car with broken brakes
and uttered whoop as he struck the
| fence.
| An hour later, when he opened his
eyes, he was clawing grass in the next
county, and the peasant was patiently
waiting to see if his neck was broken
~ remember ALL" said his majesty.
as he sat up, "and there's no need Of
your going into explanations. In tell.
ing you that was no COW to be stopped
by whiskered fence, I didn't think Of
asses. / now correct the oversight and
will limp home, and it will be Just as
well for you that the brotherly feeling
between us continues and you keep
your mouth shut"
Moral-Things maynot be what they
seem, but it is better to take it for
granted that they are and pass on.

MOUNTAIN MEADOW LARK.

Thou art not king by right supreme
OF peerless voice and tone;
Among the woodland choristers
Thou reignest not alone;
But glen and forest know thy spell,
The magic all thine own.
NO far unearthly song hast thou,
Like Gods sweet hermit thrush;
NO passionate pleading from thine heart
Thrills on the midnight hush;
Ihou lowest morn, and sun and wind,
Where canyon waters rush.
Thou lowest scurrying April SHOWS.
And flying wraiths of mist
mai sweep the craggy mountain slope
Where gnarled cedars twist.
Thou lowest the breaking Of the clouds
In gold and amethyst.
Ihou lowest evening on the slopes
or foothills golden brown;

TRUE ART OF BREAT HING
