DEAD SHOTS IN CONGRESS
Two Marksmen Who Would Shine In
Any Company Are Natives Of
Arkansas and Arizona.

II all the members and officers Of the
house and senate were drafted for
service on the firing lines in France,
there would be two veterans who
would prove themselves to be the
equal of most marksmen Of France or
England or any other country. The
Washington Post says there are very
few good shots in either house OF con-
gress, 1t is said, and no member Of
either body can compare with Jerry
South Of Arkansas, chief clerk Of the
house Of representatives, as rife
shot. MFR. South was known In Arkan-
sas as the best shot IN that part Of
the country In his younger days, and
he is still there with the eye. The
other man under the dome is Senator
Mark Smith Of Arizona.
1t is very difficult thing to put Ave
shots In a silver dollar at hundred
yards, yet Jerry South has done 1t u
dozen times. Senator Smith has tried,
he said, five thousand times, perhaps,
to do the same thing, but the best he
has ever done was to plant four shots.
Always one would go outside or cling
to the Otter edge of the dollar. He at
tributed his failure to imperfection OF
powder or shell. or the whim of the
wind. The senator said no had even
tried placing u rife In wise and see
ing that nothing moved the gun, but
invariably one shot would fail Of Its
mark. The old Mills rifie--a muzzle
loader-whlch was used In the early
days Of the war and afterward by
many hunters was the best rifle ever
invented, according to Senator Smith.

IN BLACKBERRY TIME
Love and Fate Figure in Side
Lines.
BY JOHN PHILIP ORTIZ,

Mr.. Fred Islington was not referred
finance, but yet he held a responsible
and well-paid position in an important
bank.
Miss May Cranston was not men,
toned as second Patti, but 1t was
admitted that she had a fine voice
for song, and might some day become
an operate star.
1t would seem to the logical reason
or that Mr.. Islington and Miss Gran
ston ought to have kept clear Of side
lines, and not have been tempted into
risks. He took few lessons In draw
ing, fitted up garnet studio and then
went into turning out landscapes in
his spare hours. They were not Corots
nor Rembrandts. He was satisfied,
for the time being, to play second fid-
die to them
Miss Cranston selected sculpture as
her slde-line, She worked on Ice
cold butter. The same was As cents
a pound, but cheaper at that than
marble. Butter Is also much easier
to cut. She didn't astound the whole
United States, but she was content
to feel that every time she finished q
new bust there was a decided gain.
1t was diversion now, but the profits
would come later on.
One day, at the house Of friend,
Mr.. Islington was shown butter bust
of what was called George Washing
ton. He felt 1t his duty to remark
that It could just as we'll have been
called Nero, Columbus, Napoleon or
Shakespeare. That is a privilege art
lists have-to bat each other, but It
is always in good-natured way.
A few days later Miss Cranston
was shown one Of Mr. Islingtons land
scapes, by a young friend who had
received 1t as a gift on her birthday.
Her criticisms we're very frank.
And later on came Fate. That but
ter-artist and the landscape painter
met, and admired, and fell In love.
Neither had anything to say about
their side-line for some time, and then
there was a row at once. Other

It was a pity that the French h-Ameri-

have been so i'll advised as to have
chosen Carnegie Hall for the debut Of
Louis Wins, violinist, and Edouard
Gendron, pianist, in a sonata recital.
Carnegie Hall is no place for intimate
music, and certainly no place for two
artists who are making their first ap-
pearance in this field. Such artists are
at once put under a handicap which
ought surely to have been avoided.
1t is then much to the credit of
these two French artists that they
should have made the excellent i'm
preston that they did. Their playing
of the Handel G Minor Sonata was
admirable in precision of attack, and
in general feling for line, despite one
or two slips in intoration on the part
of Mr.. Wins.

"a, which followed, was more unevenly
given, yet on the whole it received {
