A REMARKABLE SHOT.
How a Kentuckian Put a Bullet Through
a Bottle on His Head.


a Bottle on His Head.
A remarkable record in marksman-
ship was recently made at a turkey
shoot at the Roundstone Sinks, about
ten miles from Hangaround. Jackson
sounty. KY, says a special dispatch to
the New York Tribune. Word Of the
feat was brought by Jedediah Chick,
the mail carrier, and by Fred Jewett, a
well known lawyer. The stories of
these two men, both eyewitnesses.
agree In every detail
The turkey shoot was well under way
and about half the birds had been
killed when Peter McHone, a well
known shot and notorious bad man, !"
appeared and attempted to enter the
contest. A protest was at once raised
by the poorer shots. and as these in
cluded every man interested it was de
cided in fairness to the others to bar
out McHone. His protests were I'M
needed, and the shoot continued.
After 1t was over McHone attempted
to win enough TO pay him for his tramp
to the place by placing bets on his own
prowess with the rifle He suggested
betting on various difficult feats Of
craftsmanship. but so great is his rep.
utation that it was not till he offered
TO place an empty whisky flask on his
own head and shoot out the bottom
with a bullet that should pass through
the neck without breaking the sides,
the rife to be fired straight ahead from
his shoulder, that he aroused interest
This proposed feat seemed to every one
too great for even his skill. and in ten
minutes he had wagered everything Of
value he had about him at good Odds.
Preparations were at once made for
his attempt A whisky bottle. was pro
duced. emptied and placed on McHone's
head He made all the spectators sit
down, so that they would be safe, and
glanced around the yard of the home
stead Then he raised his rifle. took
careful aim and fired at the side Of
the house An instant later the bot
tom fell from the bottle, and McHone
held up the unbroken sides and neck.
AT once incredulous protests arose
and 1t became evident that McHone
could not collect the wagers unless he
showed how be had accomplished the
feat. He smiled and led the crowd to
the side of the house. where the mark
Of the bullet was plain. It had been
detected toward a hickory tree fifty
feet distant. There, too, McHone show
ed the mark Of the bullet, which had
again been DETECTED. MeHone pointed
out the bullets course from the tree
to the side Of the barn, from the barn
to d fence post, from the fence post to
the oalen bucket dangling from the
well sweep and from the well sweep
in line with the spot where he stood
to the corncrib, where the bullet, still
warm, was found Embedded in q door
The bets were paid.

$500 From An Acre.

Last years little garden was the
NEST satisfactory we have ever had,
says a writer in The Golden Maya.
zine The area was little more than
one-third of an acre, which was
plowed by colored man for $2.25. The
dead weeds and other trash we're re-
moved for SO, SO that when the gar
den was ready for planting the total
investment amounted to $5.25. The
ground slightly declines from the
north to south and faces the sun for a
COED many hours each day.
We sold $40 worth of products,
which gave us $40 over the original
cost. A careful account of all the
products sold, used given away, or
put away for Winter showed our gar
den was worth S110 in cash.

On the whole Johnny Ralston was a
very good boy; but he had one fauat
which it seemed impossible for his
mother to overcome-he would fight
with other boys. Times out of num-
Der he had been reproved for this
and the last time he promised faith
fully that he would battle no more.
But that evening he returned from
school with cut cheek and a nose
like a swollen beetroot.
Johnny" said his mother sadly
didn't you promise me you wouldn't
fight any more?'
But | haven't been fighting, NIL.
This is the result of an accident.

Women and Debt.

Some wives drift into debt with as
much indifference as if they would
never be required to meet their oo-
legations. Women who are thus
rash and improvident are certainly
weak-minded, and are laying the
foundation for domestic trouble.
The tempter tempts; the tradesman
or milliner is quite willing to trust
them to any extent, or, if they vii!
not the butcher or baker will, and
the ready money is spent on frivo-
lous trit1es. A woman assures her
self by the fattering assurance that
81 shall be sure to make it up some
how" Things go from bad to worse.
until at last the husband has to be
informed THAT impatient creditors
will wait no longer for their money.
Then the dainty new bonnets and
dresses, which formerly seemed to
him so pretty, appear only as super
fiuous finery. A wife who has once
allowed herself to give way to debt
must exercise great vigilance upon
her actions, so as to avoid a repeti-
ton. 1t lis, so easy to give way, and
in families of limited income such
extravaganza may mean serious in
convenience.
