Rifles PecuIiarities.

A series of experiments made in
France on the variations set up in
gun barrels by the effects of firing
indicates another allowance that the
expert marksman should make for
the individual peculiarities of his rifle.
The shock of firing sets the par
ticles of the gun barrel oscillating
in elliptical curves, producing def1ec-
tons of the barrel. The periods of
vibration in different rifles vary be-
tween one-twenty- fifth and one-five-
hundredth Of second and the ex-
periments indicate that a small bore
gun is to be preferred to one of
larger caliber, because the bullet can
leave it's muzzle before the defec-
ton of the barrel has become consid-

X. p. Picnic on July Is.

One Of the best events Of the sum
mer is being planned by the X. P.
lodge to take place Saturday evening,
July Is, at which stime representatives
from Milaca and Minneapolis lodges
will be present in body to take part
in the evenings pleasure and enter
tainment..
A picnic supper for the members of
the K. P. lodge and their families (and
there are numerous persons waiting
to be adopted into some K. P. family
for that night) will be served at Elk
lake early in the evening. Judging
from previous events we know this
supper will be one Of the best that was
ever served. Later in the evening the
guests will return to town and convene
on the school grounds where a pro-
gram will be rendered, to which the
entire public is invited. Several men,
bers from both visiting lodges will be
on the program, and give talks on in
teresting subjects.
All X. P. members and their fam
lilies are invited to attend the picnic
supper at the lake, and the public in
general is invited to attend the pro-
gram on the school house grounds.
Every entertainment that the X. P.
lodge has given has proven we'll
merited success, and we feel sure that
the program as planned will give i'm
measurable pleasure to all who attend.
Remember the date, Saturday evening,

The Squaw-Man's
Decision
By JOHN PALMER
Copyright. 1922. Western News


John Donahue Duncannon sat in the
doorway of his hut and looked about
him with a bitter smile.
He looked at his Indian spouse, fry
ing potatoes over the outdoors fire.
Pepita had been like q slender reed
when he married her five years before.
Now she was growing elephantine,
and all her girlish charm had gone to
the limbo of the Never-Never country.
He looked at little Juanita, four
years old, who played with the mon
grel dog, and his glance softened. It
was for Juanita that he had stayed.
He thought of a certain ancestral
mansion, set deep in the leafy recesses
of forest in another country. He
saw the cleaning lawns, fountains,
and statuary, the wide staircase, with
guests in evening dress ascending and
descending. He groaned
Last he saw an implacable old man
his father, with white, bushy eye
brows, and fierce, upturned moustache.
They were facing each other across
a table in well-stocked library.
"You have disgraced the Duncannon
name. Leave my house tonight and
never return to it. Never let me hear
of you again. On that understanding
you will receive two hundred pounds
paid to you at permanent address
on the first day of every year,
No, there was one more picture. He
saw girl, soft, lovely, a wrap
over her bare shoulders. They stood
in the moonlight under the shadow
of the old house.
"But believe in you, John. And

six months after he left for America.

impulse within him. he had thrown
In his lot with evil things and people.
Fate had battered him. And at last
he had clutched at the one refuge
the arms of Pepita.
All that past came up before him,
and he swore furiously. Pepita looked
up from her pan, fear in her eyes.
She had always known the day would
come when her man would leave her.
She knew he had long since ceased
to care for her, and that it was only
Juanita who held him.
John Donahue Duncannon looked at
the child. The soft look faded from
his eyes as he saw her mothers fea-
lures in the soft outlines.
He was going! He had hardened
himself to the step that he was tax
ing. He was going back to kindlier
land, land Of green fields and flowers,
and-white women! How his soul
cried for it!
He had made his preparations with
the utmost secrecy. Knowles, as he
was called, meant to steal away on
the morrow. The stage from the vii.
lage, under pretense Of going to the
county town, then a railroad ticket to
New York.
Along the village street he saw
heads at the windows. Harvey, the
postmaster, was walking with a
stranger, an old gentleman who must
have arrived by the afternoon stage.
They were coming his way.
They stopped. Harvey called to
him:

Cows Earn $4,000, 900 for State.
The cows Of Minnesota, averaging
146 pounds per head Of butter fat,
produced $17o,000,0O0 for Minnesota
last year. The National Dairy Show,
to be held at tho Minnesota Fair
Grounds, October 8 to Is, teaches the
use Of 400 to 500 pound butter fat pro-

to this educational exposition and get
it's value, dairying agriculture will add
another $170,000,000 to the buying
