MAKES GOOD SCORES. Indium tJlrl of Sixteen lln* Sliootlnis HecordN Which Have Already Won Fame for Her. Miss Edith, daughter of W. D. Rick el, of Auburn, Ind., is developing rare (skill with the gun, and promises soon to equal the average sportsmen of the world. Miss nickel's experi ence at the trap only datts from Jan uary 1, this year, and her rapid ad vancement has created a sensation among the lovers of that sport, and her scores have been prominently mentioned by the trade papers. -Miss Edith's mother died last sum mer, and since she has taken the ar duous responsibility of keeping house for her father and at the same time attending school, she incidentally took up the gun. She is but 16 years of age, weighs 135 pounds, and stands live feet high. She is a splendid example ©f the best type of Iloosier beauty. Her large, dark eyes, black curly hair and charming good nature make her a noticeable figure wherever she fe'oes. Her love for the field sport came to her like a vision, and, after express ing a fond desire to take up the gun, fche was the recipient from her fa ther of an exceptionally good Win chester, weighing 7% pounds. The services of Mr. Romeo Tarney, of Au burn, were also secured, and he, be ing a marksman of recognized abil ity, soon instructed her in the art. Her first experience at the trap was on January 8, 1900, when she shot at 50 targets, ten yards rise, known trap and angles, scoring 29 out of a pos sible 50. On January 16, her second attempt et the trap, she shot 75 birds in MISS EDITH RICKEL. strings of 25 at 16 yards rise, scoring first 25, 17; second 25, 18. and third 25, 19, or a total of 54. On January 24 she shot at 75 targets, breaking 57 at 16 yards rise, making a straight run of 29 from the tenth to the thir ty-ninth bird. On January 31 she shot at 50 targets 21 yards, scoring 37. On February 8 she shot at 50 targets, un known angles, known trap. 16 yards rise, and scoring 39 breaks. On this day a stiff north breeze made tin flight of the targets very irregular. The score which Miss Edith has made in the field and marsh is also a most excellent one and shows she now possesses more skill than the average sportsman. It is not an uncommon occurrence for her to come in from the marshes with plenty of game, es pecially rabbits. Recently she re ceived an English setter dog from the well-known kennels of W. R. Lyons, of Piqua, 0., and to say that she now thoroughly enjoys the sport is a mild expression. It is predicted by lo cal sportsmen that, with no fatality, a few months hence, Miss Edith will rank among the best trap shooters of her sex in America. I'xe of Hot AVutcr IIIIKH. A hint in the use of hot water Lags is gained from a trained nurse. Very little water is used, not more than a coffee cupful in a three-pint bag, but it is very hot. Befcye the stopper is screwed in the air is pressed out of the bag by a quick smoothing of the hand toward the opening; in this way the weight is considerably lessened. This particular nurse in at tending a pneumonia patient kept in use during the severity of the attack six of the bags, three of them upon the patient at one time. During pe riods of the critical two or three days the bags were changed every 15 min utes, but so light were they that their weight did not in the least incon venience the sufferer.

Movable Srluioihuniii'i Which, SO On* U rlter I'uta 11, (>» iu Srarrfi of Scholar*. St. Louis is congratulating- itself just now upon having' successfully solved a difficult problem and upon the carrying out of a unique and interesting idea. In fact, she has wrought out a new ver sion of the old story of Mohammed and the mountain and a new application. Like the mountain, it has been found necessary that when scholars will not come to the school, the school must of necessity goto the scholars. This, on the face of it, might seem a matter of extreme difficulty. As it is, however, the problem has btfen solved, and the solution has been found not to bo hard to arrive at. It might be a little mis leading to say that the scholars are not always desirous of going to school. Ilut when the school is too far distant or there is not room enough in those already existing for the accommoda tion of all who apply then it becomes i ::, v ;1 A PERIPATETIC SCHOOLIIOUSE. self-evident that, some remedy is an ab solute necessity. And right here is where the school goes out in search of its scholars, and settles down comfort ; ably for the time being in whatever j locality the prospective pupils are found in sufficient numbers. ! St. Louis has found much difficulty :in providing room for all its school children, Rented rooms were experi mented with in many parts of the city with more, or less success, but the gen eral result would hardly be called a satisfactory one. In districts where the population was scattered the plan seemed scarcely applicable. After much consideration and many experi ments it was suggested that a school house or schoolhouses of such nature that they- could be readily removed from place to place, set up wherever re quired, and when no longer needed taken down and removed to some other field of action, would fill the bill. There fore a consultation of local carpenter was called and a school building such as desired was the result. These buildings have been construct ed in such a manner that when no long er required at one site they can quick ly be taken apart and, if need be, moved to another. They are 24 by 36 feet, inside measurement. The floors are constructed in eight sections, the sides in six sections, the ends in four sections and the roof in 16 sections Each section is strongly put together on frames, and these are bolted in such a manner as to make it a perfectly tight and secure room. The joints between the sections are covered both inside and out by movable pieces, which are held in place by screws. The heating arid ventilating are furnished by an indi rect furnace with double casing. The fresh air is taken directly from the out side, and the supply cannot in any man ner be cut off or reduced beyond a prop er limit. The vent is at the opposite end of the room from the furnace. The smokepipe from the furnace is carried through the upper part of the vent pipe, thus making a perfect ventilation and also preventing any possibility o* fire. When these novel schoolhouses are set up and ready for occupation they will accommodate 60 desks, and have been found to be satisfactory and com fortable in all respects. The cost is ex tremely moderate when the results achieved are considered. BALL-ROOM ETIQUETTE. CnNtoms Which I'ullte Society Ap» proven nx llrlne in Good Form and Quite Correct. When a man is presented to a young woman at a dance he usually says al most at once: "May I have the pleasure of this dance?" After dancing and walking about the rooms two or three times the young man may take the girl back to her chaperon and plead another engage ment —or better, she suggests that he take her to her place near her mother or chaperon. The lady is the one to first intimate her desire to stop dancing. If a man holds a girl too tightly she should drop her hand from his shoul der, so as to bring it between her part ner and herself. If he does not take the hint let her stop dancing at once unrfer some pretext so evident that he may realize her displeasure or disapproval. A chaperon should not be kicking in personal dignity; nor should she dance while her charge is unprovided with a partner. A girl should be attentive to her mother or her chaperon, presenting her friends to her and occasionally stopping to say a few words. Both young men and maidens should be careful to remember that their dancing engagements must be kept. A girl must not refuse to dance with one man under some pretext, and then dance with another; neither should she dance with the same man more than two or three times. A young man invited to a house should dance as early as possible with the daughters of his hostess, and pay them every possible attention.—Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in Ladies' Home Journal. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1900. HE PROBABLY PASSED. J Singular Report of a Hallway Ap plicant for Examination for Color Blindness. In railroad circles a new story is going the rounds, says the Kansas City Star. The Burlington not long since issued an order requiring all its section foremen to report to an oculist on a certain day and have their eves examined. One afternoon alter those preeent had undergone the examination and the eye doctor was about to close up for the evening a messenger boy rushed in with a small package neatly tied up m tissue paper and which proved to be a glass eye. The following ana evidently hurried scrib bled note was attached: "Quincy, 111. —Ove inspector: Dear Sur.

Senator Green'* Opinion of the tserv ices Held la mi Lpisoopnl Church. Senator Benton, of Missouri, one of the most conspicuous figures of the century in either house of congress, had a formidable antagoinst in Senator James Stephen Green. Congressman liitt, according to the Chicago Chronicle, relates this anecdote of the two gladiators: "Senator Green was not only a man of splendid genius, but of charming manner, lie boarded at the National hotel, where he was popular with men and women. The latter found out that the senator was not much of a churchgoer and insisted that he should mend his ways in that regard. One Sunday he was late for dinner. The women asked, him why. " 'I have been attending divine worship, replied the senator, gravely. " 'To what church did you go, senator?' asked a woman. " 'I don't know,' answered the courtly Missourian. '1 walked up the avenue, turned up Fourth street and entered a church on the left-hand side.' This was an Episcopal church. *' 'How did you like the services?' asked another woman. " 'lt appeared to me,' answered the sen ator, 'that there was too much reading of the journal and too little debate.' " AN UNEXPECTED RESULT.

"Say," said the man with a worried look, I "do you remember giving me a lot of ad j vice on how to conduct my own love affairs j about two months ago?" "Yes," replied the man with the wise ex- | pression, relates the Baltimore American, j "Told me if I wanted to win the girl I should make love to her mother?" "Ch —huh." "Said if I could get the old lady on my j side all I had to do was to toddle around with a ring and say: 'When?' to the girl." j The wise man nodded. "Said for me to compliment the mother j on her youthful appearance," continued the worried man,"and give her a jolly about how sad I was that the young ladies of the ! present were not to be compared with ! those of the past?" "Yes. Yes. You won the girl, I suppose?" ' "Yes, I did —-not. The old lady has sued , her husband for divorce and me for breach , of promise." Sainlto and the Kreshmnn. An American writer tells a good story of his college days. It relates to a negro gar dener, a jolly fellow, with whom the boys used to have considerable snort. Sometimes he would floor them with his repartee. One day in spring Sambo had been burning the college green in order to get rid of the old withered grass. A freshman came along, and, thinking to have some fun, shouted: "Say, thefe, Sambo, you ought not to burn that stuff." "Why?" inquired Sambo. I "Because," replied the freshtnan, "it'll j make that grass as black as you are." j "Well, massa," retorted Sambo, "dat'sall j right. Yes, dat's all right. Never you fear; i dat 'ere grass'll come up and be as green as you are!"— London Answers. Too Anxlonx. It was at a wedding, and as the soon-to-be wedded couple walked down the aisle of the little church embarrassment was plainly written on the face of both; but when, in re sponse to the question by the minister if either of them knew of any reason why they should not lawfully be joined together, there came boldly forth from each the answer "I do," the evident embarrassment on their part was changed to one of real on the part of the clergyman.—Harper's Monthly.
