Back From vacation.


Back from my summer vacation,
In the noisy old town once more.
Away from the vicious mosquitoes
And the chiggers hat sting and bore.
With my neck all raw n blistered
And my nose as red as a beet,
l find that the city is welcome
And that life in town is sweet.
Back from my summer vacation,
Away from the worms that creep
the gnats that crawl down my neck.
band
And bother me while I sleep.
Afar from the flies and the spiders
And the June bugs that biff and pelt.
I am glad to get back from the country
And the loneliness / have felt.
from my summe vacation,
And the soggy old stun to eat,
Where a restaurant meal is a pleasure
And a table d'hote is a treat.
Where there's something to do besides
grumble
And something to do besides wait,
Where I get my papers each morning,
And they're never a whole day late.
Back from my summer vacation,
In the good old town ono more,
Altar from the oppressive silence.
To the rush and the rout and roar.
In the city there's something doing.
There's Joy in the meet Of might.
And the soul expands with the struggle
And grows in the shock Of tight.

NATIONAL RIFLE RESERVE.
War Departments Plan to Develop
Expert Marksmen.

War Departments Plan to Develop
Expert Marksmen.
The national board for the promotion
of rifle practice. under authority Of the
war department. has announced plans
for the formation of a national reserve
of qualified ritiemen, says a Washing
ton special dispatch to the New York
Times. Those who qualify under the
rules adopted will receive a national
marksman's button.
The board points out that in the event
Of war the United States must depend
very largely upon the militia and the
volunteers for their fighting force.
With the modern arms 1t is all impor-
tant that the soldier should know how
to shoot and to hit what he shoots at.
"By the plan proposed says the re
port of the board. 1--WE believe that the
United States will within a few years
have more than 100000 who will have
on the line of battle nearly all the re-
Quirements for the most efficient sol
diers in the world. We propose to edu-
cate our young men and boys over fiji
teen years of age to be an army of ok
pert rifle shots. A high degree of skill
in rifle and revolver shooting and the
confidence which a knowledge of this
skill gives will make a timid man
brave and u brave MAJ more cour-
ageous."
1t is especially desired to induce prac-
tice by the younger men because by far
the larger part of an army in the field
will be made up of very young men. SO
| that every endeavor should be made to
carry on more particularly the practice
Of the young civilians. 1t is recon-
mended that this should be done by
means of shooting galleries and field
ranges and that in erecting armories
for the national guard additional range
facilities be provided. The report advo-
Gates the establishment of sufficient
range facilities to permit of active rifle
practice by 100000 to 100000 men.
The plan was devised by a board OF
which General w. p. Hall, United
States army; General Bird w. Spencer,
president Of the National Rife associa-
ton, and l. A. Haskell, vice president
Of the National Rife association, were
members. 1t has been approved by Sec
rotary Taft and officially promulgated
by the war department.

Ban ON Chinese Foot binding.

The Japanese government in For
mosa has decreed the abolition of foot
binding in the island. A fine Of $500
will be imposed for every breach Of
the law, and Chinese girls under six
years of age whose feet have been
bound must now have them unbound.
After that age the feet are hopelessly
deforlned. tut young children's feet re-
turn to their natural shape. Chinese
mothers are making a great lament
over the enactment, but in a few years
the enforcing Of the law will be &C.
knowledged to have been wise.
