EXHIBITION BY
EXPERT MARKSMEN
Feature of Hardware Dealers outing
Was Shooting of Topper
veins.

very interesting feature of the
Hardware Dealers outing at the Park
Thursday was the marvellous shoot
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph Topper
vein.
This was certainly the most inter
etsing free exhibition ever given in
Hattiesburg. Emerson says, "He who
breaches better sermon, writes bet
ter book or makes better mouse trap,
though he build his house in the
wood, the world will make a beaten
path to his door" Emerson believed
in top notches." The Toppenweins
are certainly top notches," in the
shooting world. In our childhood days
our heart leaped with admiration for
the son of William Tell, who stood
with steady nerve and unfinching
muscle for his father to redeem his
life by shooting the apple from his
head. Mrs. Toppenwein shattered our
ideal by demonstrating what a sim
pie thing that was to do when you
know how. The shooting of spoons,
apples, potatoes, empty cartridge
shells and sundry other things held
out by Mr. Topperwein for the clever
lady who used a pistol carrying 3S
ball, was marvelously accurate. This
feature afforded the facetious among
the spectators a splendid opportunity
to keep up the humor of the occasion
at Mrs. Topperweins expense, who en-
tered heartily into the spirit of every
good natured sally.
These artists came here from Vicks
burg, where they were for three days
They have given exhibitions every
week day for six weeks without rest.

.osnd OF tho sunken Bells.

Somewhere beneath the soil Of Sus-
sex, England, there lies peal OF
bells, while in the church near by a
solitary bell calls to prayer. In the
middle ages, 1t is said. a certain val
liant knight wished to present to the
church a peal Of bells that should be
of use and perpetuate his memory as
well, but the vessel that brought them
careened on approaching the harbor,
and the bells fell out and sank into the
mud. Thereupon the donor declared;
'Never shall the church have chime
until that peal l give it be dragged
from the sea by a team of four milk
white oxen"
The oxen seem to have been difficult
to obtain At any rate, the fact re-
mains that to this day the edifice to
which the pious knight made his bene-
faction has never possessed more than
a single bell.

A GENEROUS BANDIT.
Tho Double Action Trick That Was

The Double Action Trick That Was
Turned by Cartouche.
Old time bandits were much more
attractive than those of today. There
is nothing chivalrous about the auto
mobile robbers of America and France,
as there was about such men as Car
touche. Here is an anecdote of which
Cartouche was the hero:
One evening he was crossing the
Pont Neuf, In Paris, when he saw
poor wretch about to leap over the
parapet into the Seine. The brigand
stopped him and asked why he wanted
to bid adieu to life. The would be sui
eide informed him that he was on the
point of bankruptcy and that he pre-
ferred facing death to facing his cred
itors.
Cartouche was touched and told the
man to call his creditors together on
the morrow and they should be paid
In full.
The creditors assembled. Cartouche
went over their accounts, paid them
ALL got their receipts and said goodby
to his grateful beneficiary.
It is almost needless to add that
when the creditors left Cartouche met
them and relieved them of all he had
given.-Exchange

The Wild Horse.

The wild horse" which until recent
years was comparatively plentiful in
the southwest and west. was the off
spring of the horses introduced into
the western continent by the Span
Iards. When Pizarro and Cortes in
vaded Peru and Mexico they took with
them the horses (the first ever known
in the new world) from which sprang
the droves of mustangs and bron-
chos that used to roam in unfettered
freedom over the plains of Texas, Cali
fornia and New Mexico and the wide
pampas of South America. Some of
the wild horses were Of good size and
very beautiful, but most of them. ow-
Ing probably to lack Of proper breed
ing, were of the pony varlety.-New

ter How They Drop.
II is a common saying that If cat
is dropped in any way whatever 1t will
always aIight on its feet. Since a man
cannot lift himself by his boot straps
or a boat cannot propel itself through
the water except by pressing against
the water in some way one may well
wonder whether this is not one of the
common sayings which are fallacious
The general principles involved are Of
such interest that the question was
taken up q few years ago for consider
alton at q session of a French scien-
tifc society.
1t Is a fact that it Is dynamically
possible for cat to turn over, no mat
ter how dropped, and experiments
have shown that they actually do it

so as to strike upon his feet II he
knew the proper means Of accomplish

to fall in order to have time to turn
over would be so great that he could
have only an academic interest in strik-
ing on his feet rather than on his head,
for the final result to him would be
the same In either case.-Popular Me-
