FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET MAS DULL.

New York, Sept PA stock market of comparative dullness today virtually was devoid of feature except for pool activity concentrated on a few special issues.
 This buying. which became very marked in the afternoon session, was noteworthy in American Steel Foun- dries, Baldwin Locomotive, American Car, American Locomotive, Railway Steel Spring and American Ice. Early heaviness which had its inception in a sharp decline in the Mercantile Ma rine issues after their period of initial strength, influenced profit taking sales elsewhere, but the reaction met a speedy check when indications of sup port appeared for U. s. Steel. That stock after relapsing almost a point to 1O9 3-4, forged ahead steadily and ended at III 1-4. Sympathetic strength developed in other portions of the list and the session closed with a general upturn in progress. Sales were 250,- 900 shares.
 There was a rapid upturn in Liberty bonds, coupled with further advances in foreign issues, notably Paris 6s which reached a new high figure at @ 3-4.
 The general bond market moved narrowly and uncertainty. Total sales (par value), $7,775,000. '. s. bonds old issues, were un- | changed on call. but the registered As | advanced IA of point on sales.

SHOOT FEM WITH BOTH
 EYES OPEN, SAYS "SOUSA"


 Shoot with both eyes open and get 'em every time.
 That's the advice of John Philip Sousa, sometimes known as band master sometimes as Lietenant Sousa r. s. N, but for the moment speaking as a trapshooter of long experience and for some years president of the American Amateur Trapshooters' as- sociation.
 The trapshooters are in high glee just now. because shotguns have been playing an important part in the re- cert successes of our troops so inn I.ortant part that the Germans were provoked to the Toint of calling them barbarous, there being some subtle distinction in the German mind be- tween scattering shot with shrapnel shell and with a shotgun shell. The load they are reported as using in the shotguns in the trenches will go through a two-inch plank at 100 yards, covering an area of nine square feet.
 'The Germans can never stand against our marksmen. We are too good shots" Sousa believes.
 Isn't it instinctive to close one eye when sighting a rife?"
 ''Yes, it is instinctive, hut most in- stinctIve thines are wrong. We have 10 specially train and put checks on cur instincts all the time, and shoot ing is no execution.
 "Why should you use only one eye when shooting? Do you look at pret- ty girl with only one eye? Do you squint up one eve when you read?
 No. sir, my boy, keep both of your eyes open when you shoot-rifle or shotgun. Nature has taken care that one eye will do the actual sighting we call that the pilot eye-and that the other will remain passive. The arrangement of vision varies in diff

PETER THE GREATS
 LINEAGE QUESTIONED

As Peter the Great has proved the greatest sire of racing speed that the world has ever seen everything per taining to him or his ancestors is of interest. Also as it has been shown recently that portion of his pedi- gree as it now appears in the Ameri- can Trotting Register is bogus, every item throwing any light on same is valued highly by those who have seen or heard of the sire of Mabel Transk, Miss Harris M, Hollyrood Bob, Chestnut Peter and a host of others.
 Peter the Great was got by Pilot Medium, while his dam Santos was dow, formerly Lady Duncan, by Oc- torcon. It is stated in the Trotting Register that his third dam was Swallow by Joe Hooker out Of a mare by the Sam Johnson horse. The Joe Hooker cross should be struck out. The following are all of the known facts in regard to the dam of Sha- dow
 She was named Dixie, not Swallow as stated in the Register. and was owned by Benjamin Gill who is still living is Clarksville. Tenn. Dixie was sired by a back saddle horse called Creole that was owned by Col. Sam Johnson of that town. Creole was foaled in the spring of 1882 His dam was brought to Tennessee by a sol dier in Scott's Louisiana Cavalry This command was organized in the fall of 1881 and left Louisiana by steamer in October. It sailed up the Mississippi river to Memphis. where it landed and marched to Bowling Green or Russellville, Ky Tn Febru ary, 1862, it was ordered to support Fort Donaldson on the Cumberland river. Grant took the fort, however before it arrived and the company bivouacked on the old fair grounds at Gainesville, Tenn.

ferent people.
 And to demonstrate this point Sousa made the interviewer sight an object across the room through finger ring, keeping both eyes open.
 Now close one eye.''
 The interviewer did so. and the ob- jcct was still in range.
 Now the other
 The object appeared a foot out of range.
 "That merely shows that in your case the right eye is the pilot eye. But your passive left eye, if you kept ii open, would be rowing around doub- hng your horizon and free to detect the Slightest motion elsewhere
 Let a Hun stick his head up three feet away from where you happen tc be, aiming with one eye closed, and you'd probably never see him. And you want to see all the Huns you car when you've got q gun handy
