THOUGHT It WOULD Be BLIZZARD
Many Imagined That the Snow Storm
Would Continue for Some Time
and Cause Trouble.

For a time on Saturday night IL look
ed as though Wilmington would be
storm bound for several days. With the
ferocity of a blizzard the strong wind
blew the rapidly falling snow in blind
ing sheets, and only those compelled to
be out OF doors were seen upon the
streets, which We're almost deserted.
During the early part of the storm
there were a number of small drifts
and the railway companies prepared to
fight the elements and keep their tracks
open, but the wind soon moderated and
drifting stopped. The snow was the
heaviest Of the season. however, and
yesterday there was considerable
lsleighing. 1t was the first time this
season that this sport could be in
dulged in with much satisfaction, but
those who were out yesterday said the
sleighing was excellent
on account of yesterday being sun
day there was practically no coasting,
but the youngsters are making up for
lost time today. Almost every hill in
the city was crowded with young peo-
pie today, and their merry shouts
caused many a staid old man TO turn
and look at them. recalling the days
when they used TO go down the same
hills.

A physician talking to reporter OF

that govt is rapidly increasing in that
city as n disease prevalent among the
wealthy classes, the increase being al
together out of proportion to the
growth of population. He claims that
this is largely attributable to the in
crease Of clubs, fashionable restau'
rants and cafes and also to the gen.
eral use of cabs, even when the dis
lance from the club to the home Is
only q few blocks. If people would
take more active exercise in the open

are more responsible for govt than
wine, although practically the two
usually so together.

Fat Men Good sharpshooters.

At many of the shooting tournaments
In rifle ranges armories and the field 1t
has been remarked that fat men are
coming to the front as sharpshooters,
and there has been much speculation
as to the reason. There is no good rea-
son why the men Of superfluous flesh
should not excel in this scientific and
delightful pastime if they give atten-
ton to it. Nervous energy plays no
little part in craftsmanship. To be-
come sharpshooter one must have a
good eye, steady nerve and be an eX-
cellent judge of distance. 1t has been
my experience that fewer fat men wear
eyeglasses than do their thin and nefv-
GUS neighbors. Shooting from prone or
reclining positions appeals to the stout
shooter. and IL consequently does his
best work at distance Of 500 yards or
over. While man with shooting eye
can handle any sort of weapon with
more or less skill, the sharpshooter
with the rife is seldom expert with the
shotgun. and vice versa. 1t is the nery-
GUS and thin man who generally makes
the best bag in the field with the shot
gun.-George E. Stackhouse in Leslie's
Weekly.
