this belief that causes the Chinaman to

The Way to Bring Down an Overhead
Incoming Bird.
One OF the cardinal rules of the old
time shooting school cautioned the
gunner against ever trying to stop an
overhead incoming bird. but to wait
until it had passed by and to the rear
and then take chances on what is un-
doubtedly the harder shot of the two.
1t Is surprisingly how difficult it is
for some SportSmen to successfully
score on their Incoming birds Many
who can seemingly cope with game in
any other. mode of flight win habitual-
N balk at this shot and acknowledge
their Inability to make it.
Yet once its principle is understood
and the lesson learned the dropping
OF an overhead incomer is as easy as
anything can well be. The miss is al
ways made by the sportsman shoot
ing under and behind the bird. and
there is but one way in which the err
TOR Is to be avoided.
To make the shot the gunner should
wait until the bird is about to pass
oyer him. then, bringing up his gun,
follow in from behind, cover the bird

the trigger the instant the bird is hid

the swing of the gun and be sure the

1t may not be generally known that
Victor Hugo used to draft the advef-

leaving the task to his publishers. His
correspondence with his Belgian pub

AFTER the middle ages, the present

Hugo's double study. What he did

ADJUSTMENTS.
Good Bill at Opera House.

SoO0 Dill AT OPSTa TlOdcSs
Decidedly the best vaudeville that
has been seen in Pensacola this sea-
son is the bill which had its opening
night at the opera house last night.
The bill is a well balanced one and
every act is good, but the feature is
Herman, the great, a magician who Is
an artist In his line, many Of his won
derful tricks equalling those performed
by his famous uncle. The effect OF
his work is added to by his stage ap-
pearance.
Singer & Singer open the show
with some black face work which
pleases the audience. Both OF them
carry their parts well and singing and
their singing and banjo playing is Of
the real negro kind.
Miss Belle HALEY, character come
dienne, is q charming little performer
with a very sweet voice and a pretty
form, and though she gets the au-
dience a little late, she does get them
finally and her work is appreciated and
leaves a good impression.
The three Charbinos. opponents of
physical culture, do some exceptionally
good acrobatic stunts, and are a de-
cided departure from the usual run of
aTobats. Their act Is well done and
is we'll received.
Franklin & Davis, the singer and
the simp, made a hit with last nights
audience and were the recipients OF
much well deserved praise. This act
is full of that happy combination
which appeals to almost any audience
rich humor and good singing.
Besides the five splendid acts men
toned, two reels of the very latest
moving pictures are run each night
one at the beginning Of the perform
ance and one at the conclusion.
Bills like the one secured by Man
ager Nick Smith this week deserve
liberal patronage and the lovers of
vaudeville will not be disappointed
when they attend this one.
