He KNEW HIM WELL.
But That Was No Excuse For Publicly
Insulting Him.

About the year 1S41 Charles Webb
was playing at the old Chatham thea
ter. New York. and during the en-
gagement he became intimate with a
young fish dealer named Shanleish.
doing business in Washington market.
The fish dealer was n genius in more
ways than one. In his younger days
he had belonged to n juvenile dramat-
ic company. aud in his manhood. since
making Webb's acquaintance. he had
been behind the curtain during re-
hearsa! and had really IA ncied he would
dearly love TO appear just once"
Webb became satisfied that Shap-
leigh could act and was willing to
please him. and it so happened that
an opportunity presented itself which
had not been anticipated. The night
of Webb's benefit had been fixed. on
which occasion he was to play the
character of Hamlet. The actor who
had been set apart for the character
of Polonius was Unexpectedly called
away. in which emergency Webb
sought his friend at Washington mar
ket and asked him If he would help
lin. Shapleigh was only too glad to
do it. The eventful night came. and a
front box had been reserved for Shap-
leiSh's wife and little daughter and
other relatives and friends. The house
was packed. with every bit Of standing
room occupied. The play commenced
and all went well. the beneficiary re-
ceiving round after round of applause
ny,fy
same with the kind friend who had
80 magnanimously volunteered his
valuable services" The first act went
off smoothly. In the second act. scene
.. Polonius is on the stage will,
king and queen. when to them en-
tiers Hamlet. reading from book.
King and queen are unceremoniously
hustled out of the way. do you
know me. my lord?" Polonius asks.
Excellent well. You are fishmon
ger" Hamlet replies. according to the
text. This aroused the indignation OF
Shapleigh's wife. and. forgetting all
else but the direct insult offered to
her husband. she exclaimed loud
enough to be heard in every part OF
the house: "Well. it amt very nice OF
| you. Mr. Webb. after Tom has been
so good to you to go showing him uT
| in public in that fashion: Id have
| you know that fishmonger. as you
call him. is as good as an actor any

lence fell upon the house. That mo

Tho Way to Bring Down an Overhead

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 1t had passed by and to the rear
and then take chances on what Is I'M
doubtedly the harder shot Of the two.
1t Is surprisingly how di0icult 1t Is
for some sportsmen to successfully
score on their incoming birds. Many
who can seemingly cope with game in
any other mode Of flight will habitual-
ly 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 we'll 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
ror is to be avoided
To make the shot the gunner should
wait until the bird Is about to pass
over him, then, bringing up his gun.
follow IN from behind, cover the bird
and swing in ahead Of 1t and. main
tanning the same rate Of speed, press
the trigger the instant the bird Is hid

the swing of the gun and be sure the
bird shall have disappeared from
