Fame's a Jade.

Signor Pucinni, celebrated for his
operas, is still a young man. On the
subject of his early success the Ital-
ian composer said recently in New
York:
II have been very lucky. Recogn1-
ton for artistic work comes so often
after one is too old to enjoy it.
''T remember one of my country
men, a centenarian, who, had he died
before 70 would never have seen any
of his operas produced. Luckily he
lived to so great an age that he re-
ceived for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough, though
this splendid artist regretted his
years of obscurity and neglect and he
frequently spoke bitterly of his bad
fortune.
"Once at the very end of his long
life an Englishman entered his box at
the opera in Rome, and said, respect
fully:
"T have travelled all the way from
London to see the author of my favor

CRACK RIFLE SHOT
Ohio Man Without Hands Wins
Many Matches.
Carries Gun With Leathern Thonq,
Loads Magazine With His Mouth
and Then Pulls Trigger With
His Teeth.

Wapakoneta, O.-Possessing only
the stump of an arm on the left side.
and no arm at all on the right side.
and using his teeth to pull the trig-
ger, Al W1nemiller is conceded to be
one OF the most amazing rife shots
in Ohio, If not in the United States,
a statement that will be attested by
all who have entered into competition
With him, either in shooting at clay
pigeons, live birds or bull s-eye tar
get So far as is known there is no
living man handicapped as he is who
has made such record, and not for
the purpose of revenue or exhibition,
but purely for the love of sport that
he has followed from boyhood. His
left hand was caught in the cogs of a
traction engine and crushed into pulp
IN 1893, and an amputation above the
wrist became necessary Up to that
time he had been an enthusiastic
hunter. His accuracy of aim contin-
ued even after his hand had been
crushed and removed.
In January, 1910, WfnemiIler's right
arm was caught in a fOur-inch belt
running from a bolt cutter in the shop
of the Wupek Wheel company. He
was drawn up to the line shaft and
whirled around until his arm was
mashed and mangled close up to the
shoulder socket. The surgeons took
it off entirely. Winemiller made a
marvellous recovery, and as soon as
he was able to be about he began de-
vising means to enable him to keep on
shooting.
He bought twenty-five repeating
rifle and had hole bored in the trig-
ger Through this he fastened a wire
and covered the free end of it with
leather bit which he could take in his
mouth. This device was made under
his direction by a gunsmith, and then
he went off into the woods where no

one would see him so that he could
practice and carry out the plan he
had in view
When Winemiller is ready to go in
to action he selects a stump or a
fallen log, wiggles out of his coat,
shakes the box of cartridges out of
specially prepared pocket, removes
the lid with his teeth and dumps the
cartridges on the ground. Then-and
always to the amazement of a vet
eran marksman-he places his rifle at
rest, with the muzzle pointing up
ward, holding it in position with a
leathern throng strapped to the stump
of his left arm, leans over and presses
the spring of the magazine with his
teeth, causing the receptacle to open.
ridges.
Those who see this exemplification
of necessity being the mother of in
vention are somewhat perplexed to
know how Winemiller will pull the
trigger with his teeth and avoid de-
fecting or raising the muzzle of the
rifle. He has made provision for this
by having the breech mechanism so
delicately adjusted that the trigger
is what might be termed a superla-
tive hair trigger. By contracting his
lips he is able to draw the taut wire
just the merest fraction of an inch
without the slightest movement of his
head The cartridge is exploded and
the bullet is driven to its target.

The pretudices engendered by the pecul-

by what took place during the reconstruc-
ton period we must confess. took deep
root In the minds of both white and COL
ored people. 1t is but reasonable to con-
clude that these conditions could not be
altered in a day. But these conditions are
changing, and better feeling is being
manifested almost in all the rela tions be-
tween the white ana colored people OF the
south There is a large and growing class
of people on both sides who have set their
heads together in the effort to create a
better spirit and better feeling between
neighbor and neighbor. whether that
neighbor be a black white man.
A result OF all this is that the coiored
people are building homes and character
and are throwing around these the strong
arm of protection They are establishing
themselves In the business OF trades and
commerce and are fixing lines of credit
and confidence in almost every communi-
ty- They are pushing into every phase of
the civilization that surrounds them. They
are buying land and are becoming agri-
cuiturists- The colored man sees the need
of drug store. and he opens one. He
finds neighborhood where a grocery
store is needed. and Immediately he be-
gins the work of establishing that branch
of business. In short. he constitutes an
