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.

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."

DAYS OF QUEER BETS.
Some Wagers Made By Idle Gentlemen ,
of a Hundred Years Ago.
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!

to his seat, however, and attacked th

home to Halston.

The following report of an addre!
made by Dr. Heroult, at the Chemist

tion of the Perkin medal to Dr. Cha
H. Hall, is taken from Metallurglci

"There is a verse of Kipling whic

"As we handed it to the pawnbrol
sr, the latter said: 'What is that, bt

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<

"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. I was a good boy :
those days. Every one of those art
cles had on the Paris finish and so
like silverware.
"In the '90's this same shop prai
tisea me same prices, aunougn w
cost of ingots had come as low as !
francs per kilo.
"This was a wonderful time for tl
aluminium makers; they were makir
money hand over list, at least on tl
books. There was no use for any syi
dicate at that time. Aluminium w?

stock of finished product reckoned i

last long; customers were scarce ar
finally the bankers got tired of lent

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

a year, comparing with the $20,000,01
for aluminium, say one-tenth. Bi
13 cents is pretty near the rock-bo
torn price for copper. At 20 cents pi

re
l(] Often Used In Attempts to Cheat the
in Treasury Department.
is Many efforts are made to cheat Uncle
Sam through the redemption division
of the treasury department, which
1. division has to do with redeeming
partly destroyed government currency.
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
