NATIONAL DEFENSE.

A bill will be introduced In congress
urging the encouragement or rl1le
practice in the United States, ana
noted sharpshOOtcrs from every state
of the Union arc interested in Its well
fare.
There is need of rifle practice for
tho defense Of the nation. Too many
people think that Americans are nat
ural born shots. The fallacy or this
idea is very apparent to all who nave
studied the percentage of hits made
by soldiers in battle, in proportion TO
the number Of shots fired.
American rflemen, that Is, the
trained shooters, are the best in the
world, Just MS American athletes ex'
Gel in almost every international gath
ering in which they compete. But
handful of experts, while they could
assuredly do Il great amount OF dam
age in their own small way. would
count as little IN actual warfare.
The national guard Of the country
is providing the opportunity for thou
sands of young fellows to learn the
care and management Of the Spring
field Throughout the country there
arc also civilian rifle clubs and college
ORGANIZATIONS, as we'll Us rifle clubs
for school boys.
Some Of tho youth Of the land are
being trained In tho use Of firearms,
and 1t Is n good thing They become
lmbued with self-confidence as a re-
suit Of their knowledge and the coun-
try is sure Of firing line which will
make "shots that hit." which are the
""shots that count"
But there is still much to be done.
The majority Of American citizens
are IMMERSED in the use OF the rifle
and revolver. The bill In which ma
tional marksmen are interested will
make provisions for the training Of
these unskilled shots. The country
will be better able to talk universal
peace. and will be better able to take
care of itself in case the black raven
OF war drives the dove from its nest.

says in it's report is discounted to
patrons paying their bill on or before

does not show that this rebate is not
added for phones used in the court

Saving a Divers Life.

How a naval diver who was appar-
emily suffering from too sudden a pres.
while under immersion was sent
down again to be recompressed is re-
lated in a report on the health Of the
British navy. While employed in
searching for a sunken mine the diver,
who had been down for half an hour
in a depth Of fifteen fathoms, COM
planned of feeling Ill. The mans face
was livid, and he had a severe head
ache with sensations Of syncope with
pains in the calves Of the legs. The
doctor of the cruiser to which the diver
belonged decided upon heroic treat
ment and ordered that the man be
again lowered into the water. He was
sent down to a depth Of twelve faith
oms by slow degrees, communication
being kept up with him by a telephone.
After being below for ten minutes the
diver said that he felt better and after
another ten minutes that he felt quite
recovered. He was then brought up to
a depth of thirty feet for three minutes,
to twenty feet for ten minutes and aft
err that to the surface. During the
gradual decomposition the diver said
that his strength returned to him. and
when he vas brought up and doffed
his diving suit he was again normal.

FEW TO WITNESS CONVENTION
Delegates and interests Take All but
5,438 Seats.

Many thousands of persons who hope
to witness part Of the Republican ma.
tional convention in Chicago are DOOM
ed to disappointment, according to at
taches Of the Republican national COM
mittee, who report a greater demand
for tickets than ever before.
After all the interests which must be
cared for have received their tickets
there will be fewer than 5000 for Re.
publicans in the country at large.
Utilizing every inch of space possible
under the restrictions of the law, the
best the committee can do is to promise
a total Of Hip seats. OF these 2,156
will be set aside for the delegates and
alternates, 1,O7S will give each delegate
an extra seat, 1900 may be given to
Chicago for distribution among those
who contributed the $126.O00 to bring
the convention to that city. and 500
more are for press seats. That leaves
5.43S for general distribution.
