Grant only kept one eye on
the clay birds in several of the
events, which accounts for a
number of lost targets. His other
eye seemed to be attracted to a
neat turnout just behind the
spectators.
"Shiney" started out poorly,
but he kept improving his scores
till he broke nine straight. Then
his gun got out of fix, which was
fortunate for the other boys as
otherwise, he says, he would
soon have been getting more than
Ioosper cent.

On the part of Ed to keep his
average down low enough to
carry home those shells his firm
hung up as prize, and at the
same time to occasionally get in
ION first and second money; but
he got there.
Billy Currin was also shooting,
although his name does not very
often appear among the winners.
The trouble with Billy was that
he got his shells mixed and kept
the dummies that he had fixed up
for Smith, otherwise he would
have succeeded in landing the
prize that Smith finally won.
McReynolds and his pump
were very much in evidence all
day and his name was most
always one of those called by the
scorer when it came to dividing
the purses in each event. He
made the prettiest shot OF the
day, when he loaded, cooked and
fred his gun after the trap was
sprung, powdering the target
some 433 yards, S feet, 72 inches
away. At least that was Jesse
Spencer's judgment as to the dis
tance.
The firm of Nolan & Callahan
is pretty we'll represented On the
score cards; Rennie tying for
highest average, besides winning
two first, three second and two
third moneys; Callahan also won
first, second and third respective

entered.
Bicknell and Chester Avery
are both good shotsa~and with
practice will make hard men to
beat.
Captain Emery had to divide
his attention between his official
duties and the bluerocks, yet the
result shows that he neglected
neither one.
There are others whose names
are not mentioned here, but they
all proved that they possess the
requisites of a true sportsman:

Some Lessons of 1902.

Some valuable lessons have been learn
ed as a result of the peculiar climatic con-
ditions which mark the growing season of
1902, the wet summer, as it is now known,
when between four and FIVE feet of rain
fall had to be cared for in the great Miss
issippi valley One is that twice the aver
age rainfall as it came in last season will
insure twice the average crop of grass and
hay, and with this has developed the fact
that such excessive growth Of grass is great
ly inferior in nutritive value compared with
the product of the average year. Another
thing we note Is that in such year Of
surplus rainfall vast amount of plant
food stored up during preceding dry years
Is made available for plant growth, evi-
deneed by the almost abnormal growth OF
foliage and new wood on all trees and
shrubs We further note that excessive
moisture is in large measure fatal to
parasitic life. We cannot recall year
when all forms Of parasites, even to flies,
We held in such complete subsection. The
season saved many man the need Of a
photographic survey of his farm, and he
has been enabled TO determine just what
portions Of it needed either surface on un
der drainage. Some lessons of value have
also been learned regarding the cultivation
aud harvesting of crops, and hereafter the
the effort to harvest and save the crop
will be at least as much of consideration
with him as the growing Of it.

Laugh.

Learn to laugh A good laugh is bet
ter than medicine Learn how TO tell a
story A well-told story is as welcome as
a sunbeam in a sick room Learn to keep
your own trouble to yourself. The world
is too busy to care for your ills and sor-
rows. Learn to stop croaking. If you
cannot see any good in the world, keep
the bad to yourself Learn to hide your
pains and aches under a pleasant smile.
No one cares to hear whether you have
the earache, heartache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough in
novels, but they are out of place in real
life. Learn to meet year friends with a
smile A good -humored man or woman
is always welcome, but the dyspeptic or
hypochrondriae is not wanted anywhere,
and is 4 nuisance as well.

Romance of a Lockout

Daring the distress among the Copen-
hagen workmen on account of lockout in
1887 the public was appealed to for con-
tributions.
An old couple in Jutland, having no
money, sent in their wedding rings as their
humble contribution for the relief of the
starving people. The organization kept
the rings as memento of this kind act.
Recently the old couple celebrated their
golden wedding under very distressing
circumstances. They were actually starv-
ing. This came to the knowledge of the
Copenhagen workmen A collection was
organized, and in a few days the couple
received $50 in cash and two new wedding
rings, with grateful acknowledgment of
their kindness during the time of trouble.

Thoughts On Life.

Our surest prospect in life is death.
Man 5 riches are to be estimated rather
by the fewness of his wants, than the
greatness of his possessions.
When you fret and fume at the petty
ills of life, remember that the wheels
which 90 round without creaking last the
longest.
Friendship improves happiness and
abates misery, by the doubling of our joy
and dividing of our grief.
No great characters are found in this
world without suffering and self denial.
We attract hearts by the qualities we
display, we retain them by the qualities
we possess,
Kind words are the brightest flowers Of
earth existence; they make very para
disc of the humblest home that the world
can show.
He that cannot forgive others breaks
the bridge over which he must pass him
self for every man will need to be for
given.
The thought of possible helpless old
age gives all of us moments of anxiety.
The world marching orders are: "On
to the grave, but watch your track and
dodge the stumps.
The last day lies hid; therefore watch
every day

Fate of the Flies.

An exchange quotes distinguished en-
tomologist as saying that single female
fly will lay 120 eggs during her life of from
ten to fifteen days and that of these ninety
or hundred will produce other flies
During a summer twelve or thirteen gen.
erations of these flies will be produced, so
that millions in one season may be the de-
scendants of a single fly.
millions is feeble word to express
the number that would be produced under
this estimate. Putting the first genera
tion at 100 and allowing that half of them
are females, the second generation would
number 5000, with $500 females. The
third generation would number $50, 600,
the fourth 1850, 900 and the fifth g.
500, 600. Continuing the calculation on
the same system to the twelfth generation,
we should get a grand total of 1882
8l2, 500, 900, 900, 900, or, expressed in
words, four quintilions, eight hundred
and eighty-two quadrillions, eight hun
dred and twelve trillions, five hundred bill
lions, number quite inconceivable. Es-
timating the population of the earth at
billion and a half, this would give 3, 255,-
POS, 333 ! flies to every man, woman and
child on earth, all the descendants of one
fly in a single summer
1t is true in this calculation we have
taken the higher number of flies to begin
with-l00 instead of 90-but in return
we have left off the thirteenth generation
Gas unlucky), which would have given us
total fifty times greater, so the caleula-
ton may be taken as fair one.
1t must be that the estimate of flies or
Of generations is too liberal A great
many of the eggs must perish, and the
number of flies that are hatehed must be
overestimated We could not cope with
the flies at the rate of increase here given.
The question is pertinent. What be-
comes of all the flies

Spain's Migratory Sheep.

In spain there are some 10, 900, 600 of
migratory sheep which every year travel
200 miles from the plains to the ''delec-
table mountains, where the shepherds
feed them till the snow decends These
sheep are known as transhumantes, and
their march, resting places and behavior
are regulated by ancient and special laws
dating from the fourteenth century. At
certain times no one is allowed to travel
on the same route as the sheep, which
have a right to Craze on all open and COM
mon land on the way and for which road
ninety yards wide must be left on all in

their flocks and the sheep follow, and the
focks are accompanied by mules carrying
provisions and large dogs which act as
guards against wolves.

GROWING OLD.
By William Todd Helmuth.

A little more gray in the lessening hair,
Each day as the years go by;
A little more STOPPING in the form,
A little more dim in the eye.
A little more ALTERING of the step
As we tread life's pathway Ger,
And little nearer every day
To the ones who have gone before.
A little more halting Of the gait
And dullness of the ear
A growing wesriness of the frame
With each swift passing year.
A fading of hopes. and ambitions, too,
A faItering in life's quest.
And little nearer every day
Toa sweet and peaceful rest.
A little more loneliness in life
As the dear ones pass away;
A bigger claim on the heavenly land
With every passing day
A little further from toll and care,
A little less way to roam
A drawing near to a peaceful voyage
And happy welcome home.
