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

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.

A ST. LOUIS IDEA.
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.

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.

TOO LITTLE DEBATE.
Senator Green'* Opinion of the tserv

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.' "

"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."

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.

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.
