Sure Aim Kills
Very Strange Bird
Ernest Harris proved a sure shot
Tuesday when he brought down a
strange bird from the roof of the La
fayette street Mtehodist church. Mr.
Iiarris using a pistol, the bail from
which penetrated the bird’s head. The
bird is about the size «f a mocking
bird, but of a basic black color with
brown spots. In the sunlight the glos
sy feathers show green, purple and
other colors, depending on the angle
of the light. The head and beak are
shaped like that of a crow. Looking
through the dictionary Mr. Harris
binds that it corresponds to the “gold
en plover”, a native of the arctic re
gions, a species of bifds that have the
habit of migrating south for the win
ter.

How Provide The Worker An
Audience.
Kansas City Times.
When a man does a good job it Is |
human nature for him to want an
audience. It is a wonderful satisfac-1
tion to know that work is appreciat
ed. The Christian martyr went joy- \
tusly to his fate because he felt he
had an audience—God. A man may
feel he has written a great play. But
if nobody will go to see it the heart
is taken out of him. A surgeon wants ;
recognition for his skil', not merely j
because such recognition will bring
financial sucess. but because he is a ]
human being. He needs appreciation.
Would a football player exert him
self as he does if the game were
played without a grandstand?
We recognize the fact about our
selves. We know we need appreelr- j
tion to do our best work. But we ol-j
ten forget the same thing is true
about the other fellow.
It is interesting to learn from Mr. |
Whiting Williams, who specializes in,
industrial relations, that heads of big;
corporations are coming to see the
need of providing appreciation for
employes who deserve it. He points
out, for instance, that the Baltimore
and Ohio, through a monthly publi
cation sent to each of its employes,
provides them a grandstand seating
75,000 persons, before whom they per
form. If a man meets a difficult situ
ation well, if he does some unusual
piece of work, he is mentioned In
this publication. He has an audience.
In the old days of small industries
the employer was in close touch with
the men who worked for him. He
saw what they did. They knew good
work won respect from the boss,
jt vnoqt: ifuiqjXui? pins oq .isqpoqAv
or not. The problem now is to find1
some substitute for this direct con
tact between the men and the head
of the concern, so they may get the
normal human satisfaction out of
work well done and appreciated. Fer-j
tunatcly the need is recognized and |
progress is being made.
A human being must be able to take
pride in his job and in the import
ance of the work he is doing and
must get recognition for it, whcthei
he is Judge Gary at the head of the,
United States Steel Corporation or
the man who runs the steam shovel
on a sewer contract.
Shot On Street
Attracts Crowd
Quite a disturbance was creat
ed at the f irst National bank cor
ner of the uptown business section
about noon today when a gun in
the hands of Jimmy Siceloff, local
travelling man, was discharged in
seme manner during what was
said to have been argument be
tween Siceloff and Carey Bosham
mer, bead of the Shelby Wholesale
Grocery company.
Bystanders say, it is understood
that Siceloff, who was a former
captain in the Canadian army as
sabre instructor for the Canadian
troops, ard B ishamer were dis
cussing something near the front
of the bank when Bosbamer in
vited Siceloff off,the streets to
settle it. As they turned the cor
ner the shot was fired. It is un
derstood that Siceh rr says that he
did not intend to shoot, but that
he started to strike with the gun
ar.d that it was discharged in some
manner. The bullet struck the
pavement and did not hit Bos
hemor. Officer's were upon the
scene a short time later and
Siceloff was placed under bond
for a hearing, the exact charge.;
being preferred against him arc
not known.
I.'.c Strange-t IJuel.
(From Brief Stories)
Probably the strangest duel that
ever took .plat'* was one fouglit in
Paris in ISOS. If it? peculiarly French
and Could hardly have aceured any
but French society. Two gentlemen Of
France quarreled over the lady 6f
their mutual love. Tempers rose arid
in the heat of the moment they agreed
to fight a duel to settle their respec
tive claims.
In order that the heat of angry
passion should not interfere with the
polished elegance of the proceedings,
they agreed to postpone the duel for
a month. T.he fight was to he from
balloons, the survivor to claim the
hand of the lady in - marriage.* A day
and idace of meeting were arranged
and on tire appointed day' th«? duel
lists m£t. The gferfUeiiiefi Were'1 named
Granpre and LeiPlque. _ ‘
, The ascent -took, place in the gar
den of the Tuilleriek amidit a vast
cpaqourse of spectators. The gentle
rrieh were, tol fire}, riot .at £3eh- other,
but at the balloons.’ - The; resultant
escape of gas would bring the balloon
dbwn and in all probability would
njean death to the occupant.
The balloons having been cast off
and having'ascended at a given signal
the duellist opened fire. Le Pique
missed, but his opponent was success
ful in sending a bullet through Le
Pique’s balloon. The latter crashed
to earth and was smashed to pieces.
His conqueror still made his ascent
and landed seven miles out of Paris.
So ended what must be considered
the strangest of all duels.
