The Greenhorn..

Ex.Delegate Rodey, OF New Mexico,
who has been in Washington this winter
fighting for joint Statehood, tells story
illustrative of the trite saving that cir.
cumstances alter cases. Some of the
citizens Of a certain Southwestern town.
which was still in the class OF frontier
settlements, devised new method OF
inducing "tenderfoot' visitors to fur
Hish entertainment for the crowd. When
the stranger arrived in town and began
the making of acquaintance by CON
ventional methods the ringleaders would
present 10 him one Of the natives who
was described as inarveloueIy accurate
shot. To satisfy the curiosity and iu-
teest invariably manifested by the
stranger the marksman ould consent 60
give an exhibition of bis skill after con-
siderable urging on the part of his
friends. Raising his six-shootcr the cele
brity wonld address the stranger: DO
you see that man smoking cigar about
two blocks down the street thereg I'll
hit the cigar without making the man
bat an eye
Bang went the six.shooter, and back
came the CRY up the street;
See here, Bill, you hive got to stop
this thing. That's the fourth cigar ypu
have spoiled for me today. don't like
it. Get somebody else to practice on.
The astonished stranger could always
be depended on after such an exhibition
ITO set up" the marksman and his
friends. One day there appeared visit
or less eredulous than his predecessors.
After the usual exhibition this strang-
er appeared scornful Of the feat.
"That's nothing he declared. THAT
does not prove you can shoot. Ill wager
500 you can't hit barn door at one
hundred yards
The marksman took him up, and fol-
lowed by the crowd retired with him
to the hack Of tho store for the test. A
shot was heard, and shortly afterwarJ
the alleged marksman came back look
inf very glum.
Whats the matter, Billgv asked the
man whose duties behind the counter
had kept him from enjoying the tender
foot's disconforture.
'Matterlv growled Bill. Matter
enough. That greenhorn set the door up
