Some good scores were also made in
practice by members of the club. Pete
Peterson, local revolver enthusiast,
put in an appearance on the range for
the first time. He showed some of the
old timers how to shoot, although some
of his shots were not quite as close to
the buHseye as he intended they should
be. The following practice scores were

The Passing of
the Lamp

If country people would investigate
Acetylene Lighting impartially, this is
what they would find out about it. They
would find that Acetylene Gaslight is
not only the most brilliant, beautiful,
coolest, steadiest and cleanest of all
home lights, but the safest as well.
They would find that it's rays are pre-
cisely the same in color-balance; and
chemical effect, as natural Sunlight
so clear, pure, and healthful that Plants
grow by night under Acetylene as they
do by day under Sunlight.
They would find that the use of Acct
ylene Gaslight would cut out all the dis
agreeable daily cleaning, filling, snuff
ing and chimney -wiplng of Kerosene
Lamps, with the inseparable SCOT, smell,
heat and air-destroying action of such
lamps.
If they would consider that the
proper care of even eight Kerosene
Lamps spoils half an hour per day of
somebody's time, instead of half an
hour per month, they would begin to
ask earnest questions about Aeetylene
Lighting from unprejudiced people who
know Modern Acetylene through actual
experience with it.
Then we could tell them something
which would bring more leisure to the
weary Housewife, more comfort to the
whole family, and more prestige to the
Country Home generally.
And we could tell them how little all
this additional comfort, leisure and
home-prestige need cost, when they 60

himself, his body intervening between
the Asiatic hyenas thirsting for more
blood, and the helpless burden clogging
his steps Again and again the leaden
hail sleeted by, whistling and screech-

stumbled into ditch. The Shiny, nasty
water was nectar to his fevered and
parched throat. Another dash and an
other murderous sheet of lead screamed

seemed to sizzle under the heat which
burned his unprotected head. He tore
the blue shirt from his body lest it
prove a target for an Oriental marks

bore him up for the final ordeal. He
heard encouraging shouts from Amer

sergeant who had crawled out to aid
the struggling men.

in Cuba during the first months of the
invasion, was invaded home as fever
patient, and when convalescent was
sent across seas with his regiment to
the Philippines, where bolomen were

broken field scarcely thirteen hundred
yards wide, in the face of a terrible
rain of lead from the frenZied mob of
Chinese opposite; when the troops were
doubled up, and beaten back to their
trenches, sweltering and painting in the
furnace-like heat. He could even see,
as though it were but yesterday, the
mangled forms of comrades lying out
there where the bullets sang dirges
over their shattered bodies. He saw his
beloved company commander lying
wounded and exposed to the fierce rays
of the Asiatie sun which beat down up
on the soldiery from brazen sky.
When volunteers were called for to

momentary hesitation even among those
