Target Tips SHOOTING SPORT OF ALL AGKS. Throughout the ages the sport of shooting has been popular in some form or other. Our half-ape fore fathers indulged in contests where the weapon was a good right arm and the bullet a smooth round stone. Later on the bow and arrow were Invented and then the cross-bow, and contests of skill with those ancient weapons were popular with people who felt that they should prepare for war In time of peace. While It is true that shooting has always been popular, this article will deal with the feature of shooting that places It so distinctly in a class by itself. It is a fact 'that there is ap parently no age limit to skill with the rifled tube and the polished bore. So long as the male of the species can stand on his hind legs use his arms and hands and has at least one good eye he can still drive almost Unllmjted pleasure from shooting re gardless of whether be is clad In knee breeches or snowy hair and long white whiskera Some of the best shots in the coun try are way past the Osier age limit and their names still figure In the lists of winners with both rifle and shotgun. Many a man has experienced the keenest kind of regret on beoomlng aware of the fact that he would soon have to give up his favorite sport be cause he had reaohed the age limit in his particular line. One of the strongest appeals that shooting makes Is the fact that old age cannot take It from you. Proof there Is in plenty to substan tiate this fact Take for instance the All-American Trapshootlng Team. This group of men, six in number, made a trip abroad in 1901 and In a series of matches with the best teams that the other countries could pro duce, they never met defeat After a lapse of sixteen years this team is to hold a reunion at a big trapsnoot- Ing affair in Peru, Indiana, and every one of the six men Is still rated as a top-notcher! The gray-haired baseball player Is ths exception but you often see him at the traps competing with his son and frequently his grandson. Take up shooting In some form for It is a sport that you can stick to with the assurance that you will always en Joy it ana that your skill wiU stay with you until the age when nothing remains of life but a host of pleasant recollections. F. H. H.. Galena. Ma 1. I want to learn how to do some trick shooting. Can you tell me some stunts that are fairly easy to learn? I have seen some professional shots perform but their stunts are too much for me. I intend to use a .22 caliber repeating rifle. Ans. I don't wonder that you found imitating the professionals a hard task. They have spent years practicing the stunts they do. Tou will undoubtedly want to learn how to hit things thrown In the air. The best way to do this is to start on large tomato cans. Have them thrown straight up at close range so that they will offer a very large target When you can hit the can four or five out of six times, try an object a little smaller and so on until you cart hit marbles or other pieces of about the same size. Always shoot Just as the target begins to descend. t. What. art the most suitable sights for trick shooting T Ans. Tou will 'find a large bead front sight and a flat bar rear sight, with a U-shaped notch very satisfac tory. ( UU'JUttS) G. B. A., Hayes, Cat 1. Which is the most suitable for a small boy, a single shot rifle or a repeater T Ans. For the very small boy the extra light weight single shot rifle is best, but he should be graduated to the repeater as soon as he Is eld enough to handle one. for the mod ern rifle is the repeater and it is well for the boy to learn the principles that govern their use and care at as early an age as possieie. I.- How much should a good re. resting .2 caliber rifle cost these days Ans. Somewhere between fifteen and twenty dollars depending on the make ana tne style oi action. 8. Should a rifle for boys' use have a light trigger duiit -Ans. It should be about four or five pounds and as clean as possible. L. S. P.. Burnet Texas.' I have Just brought a new revolver holster, it is very stiff ana tne re volver fits too tight Will oiling It nelD any? Ans. The best way I know of to make a holster fit properly is as Col. lows: Oil the revolver thoroughly THE OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE BY GONDO YOU SAY YOO WWTTIMTFl TO 6T SOMfeTHIISKS TO tW eeporc J ?ive it to too leT pe see tw REGISTRATION X HAV6NTt GOT IT MTM MS. I-" "" tepT IT IN MY OTMBR and wrap It oarefully la ailed paper, then wet the holster In water and when It becomes soft, place the re volver In It and set It where it will dry. This will make It take the firoper shape and you can oil it with eather oil afterwards to keep It from causing rust on the weapon. R. M. R., Cooperstown, N. T. 1. Is it necessary to get a license to carry a revolver In a holster In New Tork state If the gun is to be used for hunting and a hunting li cense has already been procured T Ana Aocordlng to the law you will have to have a pistol permit as well as a hunting lioense. To get one, ap ply to the chief of polios or any magistrate of any court of record. I. Will a .41 caliber single aotlon revolver be powerful enough for deer hunting? Ana Tee, if you can place your bullets aocurately and do not try shooting at long range. ALF. P. LANB. Women are the rulers of the Island of Tiburon, in the Oulf of California, and the men are made to do all the work and act as servants to the fair sex. ' RETURNING TO WORK. MADRID, Aug. 12. It was an nounced at the ministry of the inte rior today that telegrams had been re ceived from the Spanish provinces In dicating that the railroad employes who went on strike Friday night, wsre returning to work. Premier Dato today expressed the beUef that the strike had failed. He added that the government, limiting its action so as to lnsurs freedom of operation on the northern railroad had granted an additional twenty-four hours for the strikers to rsturn to work unconditionally. BEATTT MAT TAKE CHARGE. LONDON. Aug. II. In well-In-formed circles, says The Sunday Times, a further change In the per sonnel of the admiralty board is ex pected shortly, as Admiral Jelllcoe, the first sea lord, feels that he is In urgent need of rest In the event of Admiral Jelllooe's resignation, the newspaper adds, Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty, commander of the Brit ish grand fleet, probably may succeed him. 1 llJUll IT mill MSB HAVaJ m When yea eaa boy foe 35c box of EXLENTOCT, It he hair rttnul rnaka. kinky, aaapr fcair siw tons, soft a4 silky, u top failing batrst enoe and yov sn m therwulte after Ming amrml timaa Thouanda of eokmdpaopl. hav. beauti ful hair from oalng b.iwite Quinine Pemede.
