A Wonderful Shot.

They were telling how well they
could shoot, and Tom Dawson recalled
a duck hunt in which he had brought
down five birds with one shot.
"Talk about shootin'," began old
man Tilford. 81 saw Jim Ferris do a
mighty neat piece of work one day.
His wife was putin out the washin',
and she was complainin' about the
pesky sparrows maxim dirt marks on
the damp clothes with their feet.
They're thick as bees round here,
says She There's seven Of 'em sit
tin on the clothesline this blessed
minute
"'Pll fix EN- says Jim, takin' down
his shotgun, which he allus keeps
loaded with fine bird shot He tiptoed
to the door, took aim and
"Killed every one Of them spar
rows" broke in Dawson.
you're wrong" corrected Tilford
calmly. "He never teched 'em, but
when his wife took in the washin' she
found she had three pair of openwork
stockin's and a fine peekaboo shirt

Foreiqn Gun Tests.

1.-THE government ought to guarantee
our guns as it guarantees our money"
said q sportsman who had travelled
abroad. England and Belgium test
and stamp every gun made in their
confines.
81 have visited the Belgian testing
works at Liege. A gun barrel gets two
tests. The first costs 5 cents. the sec
ond 10. The works conducted on
those small fees are self supporting.
How many lives they must save! The
gun barrels by themselves are tested
first. A charge three times as big
as the ordinary one is fired from them.
They emerge, II they do emerge, strong
enough three times over for the strain
to be put on them hereafter In the
second test the guns complete, with
the breech action attached, are fired.
If they come through again all right,
the government stamps them and they
are put on the market. 1t Is queer
that only England and Belgium war
