Former Vive President Fairbanks
said recently that "one of the marked
features of recent years has been the
indiscriminate abuse of public men"
In comparison with the press of for.
mer years that of today is remarkably
courteous and fair. Those who can re.
call the vituperation and abuse which
Grant, Lincoln and the public men of
that era endured will admit that a
great advancement has been made all
along this line.

TRICK SHOOTING.
The Way Some Of tho Stage Fests Are
accomplished.

When champion rifle shot frel
blindfolded at a wedding rng or
penny held between his wife,
thumb and finger or seated back tc
her shoots, by means of mirror, al
an apple upon her head OF on q
fork held in her teeth, the danger
OF using bullet is obvious. None
of course, is needed. The explo-
sion is enough. The apple is al
ready prepared, having been cut
into pieces and stuck together with
an adhesive substance, and thread
with knot at the end, pulled
through it from the swings" 50
that 1t flies TO bits when the gun is
fired, is "how it is done"
Generally the more dangerous a
feat appears the more carefully i.
all danger guarded against. In the
william Telp act the thread is
often tied to the assistants foot.
When, again, the ash is shot off a
cigar which the assistant is smok-
ing piece of wire is pushed by his
tongue through a hollow passage in
the cigar, thus thrusting off the ash
at the moment of firing.
A fayorite but simple trick is the
shooting from some distance at an
orange held in a lady's hand. Great
applause is invariably forthcoming
when the bullet drops out on her
cutting open the fruit. 1t is insert
ed by hand earlier in the evening.
Another popular trick is that Of
snuffing out lighted candles. Half
a dozen are placed in front of a
screen, in which as many small
holes are bored, one against each
candle wick. At the moment OF
firing a confederate behind the
screen sharply blows out each can
die with a pair Of bellows.
In most instances where a ball or
other object has to be broken on q

RUNNING THE RHEA.
RsistIvs Of Ostrich Chased With Dos
and Horse.


For the person who desires q
unique form of sport running the
rhea" in southern Patagonia is rec
commended. The rhea is q member
Of the ostrich family, but somewha,
smaller. Ii runs With the sviftness
Of q greyhound or q fast horse and
has knack Of doubling on its
track, which often serves it in elud-
Ing its pursuers. The natives In
hunting it use horses, dogs and the
bola. The dogs course after the
fleeing bird in full CRY, while the
hunters follow after at top speed,
prepared to throw the bola il op-
portunity offers.
The bola, consisting Of two or
three heavy balls Of lead or stone
attached to a thong si1 or eight
feet long, serves to hamper the
movements Of the bird, for the
balls twine about the part which
the bola strikes regardless Of
whether IL be the legs, neck or
wings. This permits the dogs and
hunters to overhaul and dispatch
the bird.
At the approach of danger the
rhea will often crouch fiat upon the
ground with neck ontstretched un-
der the grass, remaining motionless
until the dogs have passed. This
strategem is often successful when
the wind is blowing against the
scent, but when the contrary is the
case the dogs soon discover the hid
Ing bird. In this case, doubtless
bewildered by the sudden failure Of
Its artless ruse, il makes no attempt
at escape
The chase of the rhea, which !
sometimes extends over a distance
Of five or six miles, is a thrilling
ohe. 1t has for the rider all the ex- |
element of a horse race, with the
added satisfaction OF knowing that
the winning Of the race will result
In q welcome addition TO the larder.
The wings Of the rhea have a favor
not unlike that Of turkey, and If
one ID not averse 10 the taste Of
horsefesh the meat of the thigh is
