RIFLE RANGE CHANGES.
Rehuhoth Residents viii No Longer Be
Disturbed by Whining Bullets.

The residents of Rehoboth In the vicin-
ity of the state rife range have had their
request granted and the angles OF the fir
ing points on the 20o-yard and the 800
yard ranges have been changed, the
points being moved several yards to the
right. Previously the angles of fire from
the 200 and 90o-yard ranges and those OF
the longer ranges have been considerably
different In order that all ranges could be
used at the same time. but with the new
position OF the firing points at the shorter
ranges when men are firing at 200 and 300
yards the longer ranges must be closed.

that hereafter the 200 and 30o-yard ranges

quent and disastrous. Every one was
trying to save his family and his own
belongings. No one made any effort
to put out the flames. The confagra-
tion scared higher and higher; flicker
ing streaks flashed from every side;
broad blazes swept right and left, de-
vouring as they went the straw
thatched log houses.
1 reached the marketplace. 1t was
already crowded with heaps Of furni-
ture and other household goods, on top
of which their owners sat on guard.
BY this time all the houses in town
were ablaze, and a violent wind famed
the fire into embracing sheets Of flame.
Burning wisps of straw from the
thatched roofs. and firebrands driven
by the fierce wind. flew in the air me-
teorlike. The heavy timbers of the
well-constructed houses fell with roars
into the fiaring debris beneath. Here
and there a man tried to save his home
by throwing on it pals OF water, but
all in vain. The town was doomed.
So, shielding my face with my cap
from the scorching heat, l ran toward
the outskirts of the town.
The town was surrounded with a
chain of hills, among which Bloody

and ashes belched forth spurts OF
flames. How small my birthplace
looked-like a private graveyard!
But misfortunes never come singly,
they say. 1t was not enough that we
had lost our homes by fire; as dark
ness began to settle about our misery,
soft rolls of thunder were heard. Soon
drops of rain began to fall, and blind
ing flashes of lightning ripped across
the black sky. In another minute
the sky seemed to break open, and it
rained as though another deluge had
come upon us. What little had been
saved from the fire was ruined by
water. The people about me covered
their heads with pals, pans or boards,
or sought shelter under tables and bed
ding they had saved. But I was so
utterly despairing that 1 was indiffer-
ent to the downpour. Drawing myself
together, let the rain wash me clean.
