THE NEW TOWER TRIP.

A recent innovation in trap shooting contests
is the tower trap. first erected in this country
at Pinehurst N. c., but quickly adopted by
other gun clubs. 1t, of course, does not sup
plant other styles of traps, but affords in
novation for gun contests. The tower trap orig
mated in Europe. 1t automatically reproduces
the features of pheasant shooting (when the
birds driven), wild fowl, pigeon shooting and
birds flying from trees
The towers range from forty to sixty feet in
height On top two spring traps at right

keeper is protected by heavy plank partition
which also hides the spring trap from the view
of the gunner. The traps sprung from the

New Tricks of smuaslers.

Diamond smugglers are a constant

precaution taken here and abroad to
spot them, not more than ten per cent

seems to be no limit to the devilish in
genuity employed by these-I was 60

as many women in the business as
men.

knows nothing about horsemanship
He must learn how to hold his reins
always in his left hand, and never
pull them. He finds that his horse
responds with the pressure Of the
reins on his neck. He learns that
the reins steer the front end Of the
mount and that the spur steers it's

die is the pivotal center OF control.
He requires facility to nse-the carbine,
saber and pistol, while he keeps his

Archbishop Moeller, in giving his
views on Sunday observance, sees no
harm In the Sunday show or ball

"The principal point tc consider in
discussing the question of the observ-
ance of Sunday Is to avoid extremes.
My opinion with regard to the observ-
ance of Sunday is TO combine religion
and rest. Rest includes relaxation,
and relaxation may readily infer in
nocent amusement. II person gives

WHAT METHODISM STANDS FOR.

resume of the mission of the Metho-

He said:
"Methodism was born in a time OF
great spiritual decline. the church had
degenerated into an institution without
