True TO its name and its national

The Bulietin cannot do il.
1t stands convicted al the very out
setof the campaign Of deliberate at
tempt to fool the voters in regard to It's
own platform
That the Representation was so
potent as to be easily exposed was not
the fault of the Bulletins intention,
bot its lack OF editorial intellect. The
REVIEW has desired to emphasize the
Bulletin silly string of falsehoods re-
garding its own platform in order that
the people might know what to expect

Poor Aim Due to Being Unfamiliar

The real cause of this kind of
shooting, according to an old
guide, lies in the city mans eyes.
The average city resident, con.
fined within houses the great,
er part of the year, becomes so ac-
custOmed to seeing at short dis
tances only and to looking at ia
miliar objects in the city that h"
cannot see clearly at Il distance in
the forest and amid unfamiliar
surroundings.
Not only is his vision blurred
because o. his, but often when he
does see he is unable 10 gauge ac-
surately the distance that lies be-
tween him and the game. This is
particularly true of shooting from
the water at an animal standing
clear against the sky or dim in for
est or underground.
Shooting at a mark does little
good, but preliminary trips to the
country for the purpose of distin-
gushing objects at long range
would soon overcome the fault
AS ii is, the hunter with a short
time at his disposal hardly gets ac-
custOmed to new surroundings be
fore his time is up; and this often
accounts for poor craftsmanship.
The bird hunter, or one who is ac-
custOmed to long vision, rarely
has this trouble. even though he is
an Indifferent marksman.

DEMOSTHENEs.
The Great Orator as Seen by a Mod
ern Humorist.

The Great Orator as Seen by Mod
ern Humorist.
Demosthenes, the famous Greek
politician, was born in an age
when eIoqucncc was at pirmi.
um, and, realizing this, he decided,
while still a STRIPPING, to become an
Orator, says the Milwaukee Scnti-
mel.
With this idea in mind, he pre-
vailed upon his father to send him
TO the Athena business college,
where he took a course in oratory
and penmanship. After il year Of
hard study, he discovered that he
was able to write Il lovely hand,
but that his oratorN had not i'm
proved in proportion. lie re
ceiycd his diploma, but though he
made numerous applications for
an 0ratOricaI position, and filled
the local papers with want ads,
ne failed to connect.
Demosthcnes, however, pos
sessed one of those persistent ma
lures that never baked at any
thing, and he never lost sight of
his ambition to become great
speaker. TO rid himself Of pc
.culiar impeachment in his speech,
he began taking trips to the sea
shore, where, with his mouth full
of pebbles and powders. he re-
.rited "Curfew Shall Not Ring To
might" and "What Are the Wild
Waves SayingY' with the fishes
and a sea serpent for IN audience.
Constant practice soon began to
tell, and inside of three months
DemOsthenes procured Il position
as barker for One-ring circus
that had been touring the one
night stands around Athens, and
so faithfully did he discharge his
duties that in no time at all the
gate receipts of the side show were
doubled. The slang that he added
to his vocabulary during this pc
riod was very useful to him in
later years, notably during his
series OF speeches against Philip,
whom he called a ''lObster," pix
er," -four husher," and "wart."
(See the Philippics of Demos
thenes.)
In politics DemOsthenes' match
less elOquence made him a tower
of strength to the party. At pO-
litical rallies he frequently ad-
dressed audiences with such fer
vor that they wept copiously and
forgot that the platform was de
wObbly. He served two
terms in the legislature and was
thrice elected Justice Of the peace

city

again perceive no distinction Of

proud of his performance, but he
made the tree red, thinking it the
