The first night we spent In the vii

were about TO retire TO our blankets
when q woman brought baby to Us
which was almost q skeleton from lack

was most p'tiful o hear. The woman
explained that the baby's mother had
died, and that they had no food for the

milk for the baby. We diluted 1t with
warm water until we thought II Of the
proper consistency, and fed 1t TO the
starving baby. The child was almost
too weak TO take this nourishment, and
II required the utmost patience and
care to feed IL. Muir worked with
that little papoose almost all night,
rocking Il in his arms and soothing
It's cries, and when at last II rested in
a healthful, refreshing sleep, he care

years after this occurrence l was sur

WHY DO MEN WEAR HATS?
Really, When You Come to Think OF
II, They Are Of Little Use and
Not Ornamental.

Men themselves do not know why
they wear hats. Hats aren't Ornamen
tai. They do not keep of the rain. a
mans hat is legacy Of tradition, bru'
talized in its descent from the age OF
adornment Straw hats are the least
awful.
The derby, the iron Id Of common
phraseology, IS q tragedy, and the silk
hat is useful only to lend dignity to
men Who otherwise might be undigni'
fed. This dignity is traditional rather
than real. Bridegrooms, undertakers
and members Of congress need all the
dignity they can command. So they
keep the silk hat handy.
Spring. which brings the straw hat,
is welcomed by men, since 1t removes
the hideous necessity Of wearing other
sorts Of hats. The straw hat rOuses o
dim memory In the blood Of the dayt
Of garlands. 1t may be worn with Q
bright band. On the whole, II makes
life q little easier for those who
haven't the courage TO go without hats

CLUBMEN HANG UP
SHOOTING RECORD
ON $1,000 WAGER

Herein lies a story of an event
that has made A. r. Cline and M.
d. EttIa the victims of many a jest
and joke since its occurrence and
elimination last Saturday.
The moral of this story: Let not
the impetus of hot argument and
the spur of self-cOnfidence loosen
the strings of your wallet.
In friendly little chat at the club
Mr.. Gttla and Mr. Cline entered upon
the subject of trap-shooting. Yes,
each was fond of the marksman's
sport and each was fairly proficient
inthe use of a gun. How proficient?
Alas! it was at this junctGre that
discordant strains crept into a
hitherto harmonious conversation.
Respective shooting merits were IN
troduced and argument waXed
warm Passing club members pauS-
ed, listened, and grinning, passed
on Little remained unsaid, yet
neither gentleman was convinced of
the prOwess of the other. In dead
ly serenity one suggested a little
wager and a trial match to estab-
FISH their trap-shOoting status. Not
to be OutdOne, his wOuld-be adver-
sary jumped into this proposal as
hungry tramp would into a square
meal, and a modest sum was men
toned. Pooh, a mere trif1e. I'M
worthy of a wager. Holly. $1,000
was hurled forward as a possible
meeting ground. Take yOu!" was
the laconic answer, and the wager
was on. Now only remained a
choice of seconds and time and
place for the meet. East Moline
was agreed upon as the battle
ground, while last Saturday mark
ed the expose before a crowd of
GRIM ing. jeering, unsympathetic
fellow citizens.
Weep on, We worshippers at the
marksman's shrine! Never was the
shrine of trap-shooting so desecrat-
ed as on Saturday of last week The
mere trif1e of $1,000 was to change
hands following the erratic flight of
so clay pigeons. Amid continued
and thunderous applause the first
r7arksman took his place. Bang,
The first clay bird. shattered. fell
to earth. Enthusiasm ran riot as
the sharpshooter modestly acknowl-
edged the growing acclaim of the
spectators.
Confidently, grinn'ng. his oppon-
ent stepped forward and assumed
his stance. Shooting steadily and
surely, he tied his companion's
mark. Now they were even. con-
tinuing so until upon the last shot
hinged the ownership of 200 silver
doubloons Bang, A great sigh es-
capped his watching rival as a miss
was registered. Cheering compa-
/ triOts surged around the shooters
and insisted in one accord that
/ all bets be declared off. The erst-
while antagonists were escorted in
] triumph back to the club. where a
/ dozen admirers dined sumptuously
at their expense.
