had with the major he transacted
quickly, declining an invitation to
stay because. as he declared, he was

But the host repeated the invitation
more urgently, slyly remarking that he

Awkward to Handle.

While the Introduction of portable
firearms into Europe is of compare

eastern Asia at very early period. La
Brocqulere, who made journey to
Jerusalem in the middle of the if

tensively in the east, mentions the FIR
ing Of small arquebuses at the great
festivals in Damascus
The first use of muskets In Europe
was at the siege Of Rhege in 1891 by
the Spanish soldiers These arms were
so extremely heavy that they could not
be used without a rest They were
provided with matchlocks and We're eff

While on the march the soldiers them
selves carried only the ammunition and
the rests. and boys bearing the muskets
followed after, like caddies on a golf
course.
Loading these cumbersome arms was
a slow operation. They were clumsy
and awkward to handle. The ball and
powder were carried separately, and
the preparation and adjustment of the
match took long time.
Before long, however improvements
began to be made. The guns became
lighter in construction, and the soldiers
carried their ammunition in broad
shoulder belts called bandeliers, to
which were suspended number of lit

OF which held a charge of powder. A
pouch. in which the bullets were car

the side of the soldier.

Run off-superman Wins
By a Length

Gravesend Race Tracks, New York,
May 21.-Superman, the three-year-
old colt of James R. Keene's stable,
won the Brooklyn handicap this after
noon on track fetlock deep in mud.
Superman covered the distance of a
mile and quarter in 2:09, beating
Beacon Light, who was second, by a
length. C. E. Durnell's five-year-old
Nealon took third money. Go Between
and Buttling ran Indifferent races.
Superman took the lead at the start,
but was caught at the quarter by Oke-
mite, an added starter. Okenite held
the lead until the mile, pressed closely
by Beacon Light and Sewell. At the
mile, Okenite slowed up and Nealon
ran out in front, but Miller, who had
the mount on Supernlan, began to
urge the Keene colt and Superman
shot out in front and was never in
danger in his fight through the
stretch. Beacon Light showed endur-
ance and took the place from Nealon.
