Vice Admiral Corsi, the Italian mIn- ister of marine, who is an expert shot, once offered to bet that he could fire twenty shots from his long barreled service ''automatic" at 200 yards range and "call'' each shot correctly without waiting for the marker.
 The bet was accepted by brother officer, the stakes being a box of cigars Everybody gathered round to watch
 Miss" ched Corsi, after his first shot; miss" also after hls second and third. The spectators, beginning to see the point of the joke, commence ed to litter.
 The other party to the wager pro- tested, not without heat, that Corsi was not aiming a the target at all.

I know the natives and the warm, gen. erous hearts of them can be touched. Spread the word throughout the coun- try. From Red Cross societies of your own. Think that for a little effort and slight cos. you can case the head of a dying soldier or soothe the pain of a man with a shattered limb. Already arrangements have been started here with view to transporting these pillows and the war relief department ia delighted with tn plan. Probably some revenue cutter will be employed to bring them from Alaska.
