tumorous Jlrpartmnit. A Shooter Who Could Shoot. It was In a shooting gallery on Pennsylvania avenue, in Washington and several expert shots were ringing the bull's-eye and picking off the pigeons. There loafed in a gentleman wearing a slouch hat and a cravat of a hue commonly known as fiery red. The stranger stood around for several minutes and seemed to regard the performance as exceedingly poor. "You know," he said to anybody who cared to listen, "I learned to shoot in Arizona. Tim McGooch of Tucson, taugnt me. n;very near ui j. 1111: ocsi rifle shot on the earth, never missed, and shot in the dark as well as he did in daylight. "I tell you what I saw him do once. It was a clear and windless day. He cut himself a piece of paper six inches square and propped it up flat on the ground on top of four little sticks? sort of like an awning, you know. Then he squinted up to the sky, got his bearings and let loose a shot. Then he counted ten slowly. When he said 'ten,' the bullet dropped out of the heavens into the center of that little square of paper. He did that four times, and every time he said 'ten,' the bullet dropped through the hole the first bullet had made in the paper. "Now, warn't that some shooting?" Everybody agreed that it was. "And," said the stranger, "Tim McGooch taught me how to shoot." The crowd in the shooting gallery asked him to demonstrate his skill learned from McGooch. He consented to give an exhibition. "I'll try the pigeons." he remarked, In a lordly manner. He shot fifteen times and did not hit a pigeon. Then he laid the rifle on the counter and burst into tears. "If Tim could only see me now!" he sobbed. "If he could, he would know that strong drink is a curse and wine , is a mocker!" Whereupon the pupil of Tim McGooch of Tucson, the greatest shot on earth, hurried out of the gallery on his way to one of the gilded saloons of the ! effete East.?Popular Magazine. Part of the Game.?Among a crowd of people who were waiting for the seemingly endless flow of carriages, , vans and motors to cease, so that they could cross to the opposite side of the ' street, was a woman garbed in a dress that resembled nothing so much as a j checker board. The squares, red and i black, vied in size with any worn by J minstrels in the palmiest days of , black-faced vocalists. Naturally she was the centre of attraction. She thought she saw a chance to gain the other side and started on her journey Just as a Jolly-looking chauffeur i started his automobile. The woman hastily retreated to the curb stone, but, with an appreciative glance at her dress, the driver of the motorcar brought it to a standstill and bawled out admiringly, much to the amusement of the interested bystand- i ers: "Go on, it's your move!"?TitBits. , m , 1 Wifey Fixed It.?A young storekeeper who had failed the previous day was so diffldent about meeting his creditors that he gave his wife the fol lowing Instructions. "Now, Marie, If any one rings, you answer the door and tell them that I'm not In. I'll hide." Nor had he long to wait until a loud jangling of the bell assured him that an Irate creditor stood at the door. It was only a reporter, however. "I wish to speak to your husband." "But he Isn't In," protested the woman. "Well, I understand," said the reporter, getting out his notebook and pencil, "that he is insolvent." "Oh, yes," cried the wife, a happy inspiration seizing her. "He went over there on the 2.40 train yesterday, and I don't expect him back until tomorrow." ?Llppincott's.

The betting book of White's Club In London contains the record of some extraordinary wagers. The idle gentlemen of a hundred years ago could give their prototypes of today sundry hints on eccentric betting. Here are fac-similes of some of the records. One reads: U/.tV.?on hotii fnlrtnal Stan- I 1*11. AYXCUIUVII WWW hope ten guineas to one that a worthy baronet?understood between them? does not from necessity part with his gold ice pails before this day twelvemonth. The ice pails being found at a pawnbroker's will not entitle Colonel Stanhope to receive his ten guineas." This peculiar wager was made in , 1813, and another one, recorded the same year at White's, may have reference to the same hard up personage. It reads: < "Lord Alvanley bets Sir Joseph Cop- ' ley five guineas that a certain baronet ' ?understood between them?is very much embarrassed in his circumstan- l ces. In three years from the date here- j of, if one of his bills is dishonored or he is observed to borrow small change of the chairmen or waiters, Sir Joseph j is to be reckoned to lose." ( Here is an odd one: "Mr. Butler ] bets Sir George Talbot 20 guineas to 1 one that he is not in the room at j White's with Napoleon in the course ( - * * * II OA 10K ? 1 ol tne next iwo years?*t, ioxv. , History shows that Mr. Butler won that guinea. A famous wager made by the Earl , of March, better known by his later title of Duke of Queensberry, was in ' regard to a chaise match. Court Taafe ] and another man bet Lords March and Eglinton a thousand guineas that they could not provide a four wheel carriage to carry a man and be drawn by , four horses 19 miles an hour. The duke (Lord March) was shrewd and seldom lost a wager. This time he secured a horsebreaker's brake without the usual high perch, had oil cans fixed to the wheels and had the | poles and bars made of thin wood lapped with wire to strengthen them. The springs were of steel and the harness of silk and whalebone. The total j weight was about two and a half hundred weight. When the course was run, August 29, 1750, the horses fairly < ran away with their riders and cover- ] ed the 19 miles in six minutes less } than the hour. Another ingenious wager made by the duke was that he could cause a let- i ter to be conveyed 50 miles in an hour. < He enclosed the letter in a cricket ball and then stationed a number of cricketers at fixed intervals to throw each other catches with the ball, which by this method covered many miles over the required 50. , On another occasion on which he was tempted to make a bet of some- 1 what similar character the duke very i nearly caught a tartar in a certain Mr. ] Edgworth. The duke declared that by means of relays of swift horses the re- 1 suit of a certain race at Newmarket 1 would be known to him at 9 o'clock j at night. "Oh," said Edgworth, "I expect to know it at 4." This was too much for the duke and 1 he made several bets of ?500 each , with Edgworth and his friends. Alas! nowever, ior me lnuiscreuun?ui ?a~> it only the transparent honesty??of 1 Mr. Edgworth. When they met next j day at the Turf Coffee House to reduce rhe bet to writing Edgworth, who had in his mind a system of semaphores, ' blurted out that he did not mean to i rely upon horses. The duke instantly ( realized that there were some things undreamed of in his philosophy and declined to proceed with the bet. Once again he was all but beaten, only to save himself with characteristic energy and astuteness. He noticed one day a journeyman coachbuilder trundling a wheel and doing so with great skill and rapidity. He was also acquainted with a certain waiter at Betty's fruit shop in St. James's street who was famed for his running. One cannot help surmising that this fame was rather easily earned or else the coachbuilder must have been a very wonderful fellow, for the duke backed him to run with the hind wheel of the ducal carriage faster than the waiter, who was not even to be encumbered with a pile of plates. So well satisfied was he that he would win his money that he did not have a trial with this particular wheel till the day before the match, hen to his horror he discovered thai it was much lower than the wheel which the coach builder usually trundled and so sadly diminished his pace. Here was a pretty quandary; but the duke was not to be beaten. He borrowed a large number of planks from a friend in the board of works and engaged an army of workmen. All night the workmen toiled by the light of the moon and in the morning there was ready a pathway of planks by means of which the wheel was brought up to the requisite height. The Jecky club on appeal allowed the rather curious proceeding, and the race was run, with the result that Bet ty's waiter lost the race and his backers their money. Richard, sixth Lord Barrymore, being in great financial straits, decided to get out of them by hook or crook. He therefore spent some time carefully covering the floor of a room with playing cards, or according to another account with halfpence. Having found out how many would do it, he invited a party of friends to dine with him in that room, and finally succeeded in getting a wager of ?500 that he could guess more nearly than any one else the number of cards?or half pence? that would cover the lloor. As his biographer remarks: "It is unnecessary to record the name of the winner." With this ancestry the seventh Lord Barrymore naturally had a weakness for betting too. One wager he made was at Brighton with the duke of York to the effect that he could wade further into the sea than the duke could. Instantly they walked to the shore and plunged in with all their fine clothes on. The duke, however, had not paid enough attention to the fact that he was not so tall as Lord Barrymore, and as he did not want to be drowned he had to pay. Besides being a great coachman and patron of the ring. Lord Barrymore was something of an athlete and cricketer. He captained several elevens that played matches for large sums, and ran a famous race in Kensington Gardens?60 yards with a turn round a tree?against Captain Parkhurst, the latter being mounted. He also wanted to race the Bath coach from Hyde Park corner to Hammersmith, but the odds apparently were not forthcoming that would make it worth while. In this matter of running, however, T I>,. ?.V,? ,..ou i.-n f,?wl rxf deceiving others that he founded a club called the Humbug club, was once entirely bamboozled by a friend of his, by name, appropriately enough Bullock. Mr. Bullock, who was a very stout gentleman, weighing some vast number of stone, offered to run Barrymore a 100-yard race, provided he had 35 yards start and might choose his own course. Great excitement prevailed at Brighton. and the Prince of Wales anxiously inquired where the race was to be run. that he might come to see it. With every respect to royalty, however. Mr. Bullock declined to disclose his plan of campaign till the appointed hour, when he led the way to a narrow little alley in which there was scarcely room to walk. In less than no time Barrymore had gained his 35 yards and was up with his man. but then his difficulties began for Mr. Bullock hurled himself from side to side in his exertions and filled up the whole of the alley. It was in vain that the giver of the start tried to dodge past, and Mr. Bullock waddled in first, the winner of a very comfortable sum. The celebrated Jack Mylton would . do the most madcap things with no ; prospect but to win a wager or a brok- | en neck. He would swim his horse over the Severn in flood or put his tandem : at a five-barred gate. He shot duck 1 on a winter night with never a stitc of clothing, and set his shirt on fli with nothing to gain but a highly pr< blematical cure for the hiccups, ar even so nothing could kill him but a ineradicable taste for port wine. Perhaps, however, his most famot achievement was done for a bet < ?150. He was dining with sonr friends at Cronkhill, some distant from Halston, and came in his tai dem. After dinner some one spoke of drh ing tandem as a dangerous pursui Mytton was up in arms at once and o fered to bet ?25 all round that 1 would there and then drive his tandei half a mile across country to the turi pike road, taking on his way a dee drain, a sunk fence and two quicke hedges. Thpre was a fine moon: 12 men wit lanterns fastened on poles were en ployed to supplement the moonligh and .Mytton started on his adventuroi journey. First came the sunk fenc and into It went horses, driver and a! A gradual slope on the far side save him, however; by dint of the whip Y got his team safely out and sent the; at full speed at the deep, wide drain This they cleared, but the jerk < landing sent Mytton sprawling on 1 the wheeler's back. He crawled bac to his seat, however, and attacked th quickest hedges. Both these he clea: pd most gallantly, arrived safe an sound on the turnpike road and dro> home to Halston. His achievements in the saddle wei numberless. On his horse Hero h cleared a gate 7 feet high, and it is I be remembered that he was a tal heavy man. He jumped another hors Baronet, over 9 yards of water on h way home from hunting and afterwat backed himself for 500 guineas 1 clear 9 yards over hurdles on the sarr horse. He accomplished this often I practice, but when it came to the ai pointed day Baronet refused, and h lost his money, as he ultimately loi pvery shilling that he could lay h hands on. Poor Mytton! His end was a misei able one. He died at the age of 37, i the King's Bench Prison, a wreck < a rl hntlv Wlc mjjnv ffllllnc were all too obvious, but he had sue glorious pluck that one can almoi ?cho the words of Sir Bellingham Gn ham as Mytton cleared a high par paling with his arm in a sling.

The following report of an addre! made by Dr. Heroult, at the Chemist ilub, on the occasion of the presents tion of the Perkin medal to Dr. Cha H. Hall, is taken from Metallurglci ind Chemical Engineering: "There is a verse of Kipling whic reads as follows: Ship me somewhere east of Suez, Where the best is like the worst: And there ain't no ten commandent And a man can raise a thirst." "I was in that particular mood whe [ made my first acquaintance wit ilumlnium in large quantities. At th time I had a friend who since the Decame my partner, but for the tirr being we were both dead broke. "W lad pawned everything in sight an ilso other things which were not I fight. "Finally my partner .had a brigl Idea. He brought back from home stick of aluminium about six incht long, which was valued very highly i his family as a personal souvenir < Saint Claire Deville. "As we handed it to the pawnbrol sr, the latter said: 'What is that, bt silver?' We said: 'Better than thai that is aluminium.' 'Aluminium,' t said; 'what is that?' "He weighed it in his hand and saic 'Why, is this hollow?' We said: 'N that is aluminium and it is worth i; francs per kilo.' After some thougl he said: 'Well, I will give you 2 fran< for it,' say 40 cents in American mone "On a hot summer's day it was be ter than nothing, and we took tl money with the firm intention of buj ing the stick back, which we never di Maybe that was one of the reasoi why, later on, I had to make good ar replace it. "No material change took place I the industry of aluminium for thr< years after that event, but the actu fact of the development of said Indus try was preceded by rumors to the e feet that something new was coming "I can remember there was a she on the Grand Boulevard in Paris whei there was a display of aluminiu goods, mostly thimbles, if I remembi rightly, besides wedding rings, broocl es, statuettes, a few coils of wire ar quite some interesting specimens i aluminium bronze in the form of co foe pots, sugar bowls, etc., none of tl cheap stuff which is sold nowadays, bought once a thimble for my mothi out of my savings.

But this did m last long; customers were scarce ar finally the bankers got tired of lent ing money to people who piled i stock; it became necessary to sell. "Another price was established at francs per kilo, which did not pro) successful, either. Then came the marks which originated with the Swii company; finally it seemed to open tl bunghole of the cask. "Now, after various vicissitudes tl price in the old country looks pretl near settled around 20 cents per pour and will vary probably according the price of copper. "Twenty-five years ago the alumii ium industry employed about 10 mei the production was 15 tons a year, tl total value of which was $30,0C Nowadays the same industry produci 50,000 tons at a value of $20,000,01 and employs from 15,000 to 20,000 me "If we take the average consumptic mnnpr at 000 tons a vear at v'* VVJ/pv. ?-% ? . value of 13 cents per pound, the tot value of ingot metal will he $234.000,Of a year, comparing with the $20,000,01 for aluminium, say one-tenth.

J~ Once a man in a western state sent y in half of a ten dollar bill, accompaie nied by an affidavit to the effect th it m while on a spree he had used the other y half to light a cigar. The half he forwarded was nicely charred along the inner edge, and the story would have h been accepted by treasury officials had 't* it not been that within twenty-four is hours there was received from a bank c. in the same state the other half of the note. je The theory of treasury officials was m that while more or less intoxicated the man had struggled for possession of t0 the bill with some one who had wrestk ed half of it from him; that the deie spoiler had turned the half into the ^ bank and received five dollars for it, re that the intoxicated man, recovering his senses, had found the other half in re his pocket, and not wishing to lose his money, had conceived the plan of II, singeing the edge of the note and e> claiming that the other half had been destroyed. So he committed perjury ;o in an attempt to rob the government ie of $5. in A man In Cleveland sent an affidavit 'g to the treasury department, accomst panying the singed haf of two twenls ty-dollar bills and one ten-dollar bill. r This affidavit was typewritten and in in perfect form. It set forth that the >f deponent was a commercial traveler; 5? that after returning from a Journey he st had been cleaning out his traveling i_ bag when Inadvertently he had thrown k into the fire an envelope containing $50 in bills; that in accordance with ^ section so and so he would like to have the money restored to him, etc. The clerk who brought this document to the officials commented on its lucidity and completeness, but to one I of these the story seemed unnatural, 1 '|and he ordered that the claim be held up for a while. 3S Twenty-four hours later a big shlp8 ment of mutilated currency came from l" a subtreasury in the west. The official s- who had ordered the claim held up 11 asked whether there were any half notes in this shipment. In four or five 11 minutes a clerk brought him the missing halves of the bills the Cleveland man had sent in. The attempt to defraud was plain. 8- The matter was at once put into the hands of the secret service division, n and a man was sent west to invest!i gate. The man who had made the afflie davit confessed at once. He had cut n the bills in halves and for one-half of Je them obtained $25. The other half he e singed and attached to his affidavit. ^ The gross profit of the swindle could n not have been more than $25, and for that trifling sum the man forfeited his liberty for a year and a half.?Washa ington Star. ;s _ tSf "My son, remember this: marrying on a salary has been the salvation of many a young man." *1 know, dad.
