THE OLD FLINTL0CKS.
They Seem 70 Have Done Some Rather
ToIera5lc Shooting.

These old shooting irons,'' said q
man from Virginia. who was eNamin-
ing an old tlintlock rifle. always have
! my profound respect Our GRANDPA.
Tiers and grcat-grandfathcrs did their
hunting with them and used them in
our two victorious wa1S with England.
They were always coed weapons and
arc now. if they arc equipped with 1
good stock and Z good lock. They
could do tine service. Any man who
effective work with them in their day.
This fact was we'll illustrated in an
Incident that happened several years
ago near Richmond. The story was
printed in some Of the leading news
papers in Virginia and was the cause
of much interest.
There was an old farmer residing iii
one Of the pcninsular counties who was
coming on the cars to Richmond and
had with him one of those cid fash
ioncd weapons In the train he get
into conversation With i small lhrtyr'
Of gentlemen. who expressed mGrh in
tcrest in his old rifle. and til. e lr:::"'
told of some rather extraordinary iy;S
Of craftsmanship that lie ha;I i'ci'-
formed with it.
FINALLY l." WIS persuaded 10 give
an exhibition Of his skill with tie old
relic, and trial came off at l:acHeiIS
il the presence Of i few gentlemen.
The old hintlock WAS fired seven times
and only missed the mark once. At
first the o!G man fired it at some small
objects-to get his hand steady. so he
said Then the Old fellow handed to
his son. who had every faith in his IA
Tiers skill, large potato and sta
toned him al fifty yards distance,
holding the potato between his thumb
and forefNSer.
The rifle cracked. and the potato was
split into several pieces. Another shot
was made at the bowl Of a pipe which
the boy was smoking. and the bowl
was smashed. Several other shots
were made at various objects, but in
trying to hit q copper cent that was
tossed in the air the lnarksman made i
miss. He was considerably mortified
at this and laid the blame on 4 by
stander who sneezed loudly at the crit
ical moment, but made another at
tempt, which was successful.
"The old man then declined any fur
ther trials Of his skill and when offered
q sum Of money to repeat his feat Of
shooting potato from his sons hand
refused, saying he didn't care to eNper-
iment any further unless his weapon
was freshly cleaned. The boy was
willing, but the old man was obdurate.
The young man showed not the least
anxiety during the dangerous expert
ment upon himself" ."-Washington Post.

The campaign in which he was
