li * 1 CLEVER WING SHOT.
A Twelve-Year-old Girl Who Accomplishes Wonders With Her Rifle
Mbs Mamie Esther Hyland is probably
the youngest wing shot In the world ;
dosplto the fact that she Is only 12 years
old , and has only been shooting two years ,
flho has defeated experienced men of moro
than three tlmea her age , and has DCrar
boon defeated by a member of her own sex.
Llttlo Miss Hyland lives at North Tarry-
town , N. Y. , and hop father says that wing
shooting seems to bo a natural gift to her.
Ho has been able also to teach her many
trick shots , such as breaking glass balls
dn the air , breaking swinging bills and' '
breaking them aided b ) the reflection ofj
mirrors with both rlflo and pistol. Ono ,
of her most Interesting feats Is to take two
pistols and hit to halls placed eldo by
Hldo at once. >
( Miss Hyland tells of her career as a rlflo
nhot as follows : "iMy first acquaintance
wllh firearms goes back as far as i'can '
remember. At the ago of 10 father
bough.1 for mo a very light
double-barreled shotgun , 41-callbcr , and
weighing flvo pounds. With this I would
roam through the woods near homo In quest
of small game. Ono day father and some
friends were shooting clay pigeons thrown
from traps ; naturally , I was a very Inter
ested onlooker. As I had my llttlo shotgun
with mo , father asked me to shoot at a
few clay birds. Greatly to his surprise , and
I must Bay to my own , I broke three out
nf flve shot at. From that time ray trap-
Bhootlng t'artcd , father taking great Inter
est In mo nnd keeping mo at It constantly.
"I have frequently broken twenty-three
out of twenty-Jive balls. I have done moro
clay plpo shooting than shooting at llvo
birds , as the latter are scarce and very
expensive In this locality. In ray flnrt attempt -
tempt at llvo birds I scored seven out of
nine. I am hardly strong enough yet to use
n gun of sufficient weight In which I could
110 a killing weight for live birds. My
shotgun weighs but six pounds , and I have
to uie a very light load , or clso the recoil
would bo so great that it would bruise me ;
therefore a great many birds that I shoot
nt I hit , but the load has uot penetration
enough to stop thorn at once.
"In mv first shoot at the Westchester
County handicap , at White Plains , N. Y. ,
on January 22 last , I shot at fifteen llvo
birds. I hit every bird , but only scored
ten , with three dead out of bounds. I bc-
llovc and all the shooters present agree
with mo that had the charge been heavier
I would have scared fifteen straight kills.
"Father has succeeded In teaching mo
many trick shots with the ride , such OB
breaking swinging balls , shooting In usua
manner ; also holding rlflo upside-clown on
top of my head , shooting from right or
left shoulder , breaking balls tossed In air ,
(
breaking balls by sighting rlflo with aid
of mirror , splitting n cord , snuffing a
candle , holding rlfio In various positions
mid several other difficult shots.
"With a revolver I con hit balls tossed
in the air , break thorn swinging , break
them by sighting the pistol with a mirror
! nnd break two balls hung sldo by side ,
using two pistols and firing both at once.
"I am very fond of the sport , but must
cay that I prefer shooting at the trap with

On October 31 the solemn celebration of
the new Church of Our Savior will occur at
Jerusalem In the presence of Emperor Wil
liam nnd numerous Protestant princes of
the German empire. This church was
planned almost twenty-nine years ago by
Frederick William , then the crown prince
of Prussia , but It Is duo mainly to the
energetic Interest of the present emperor
or Germany that the cdlflcc Is now ncarlng
completion.
In the fall of 1S69 "Our Fritz , " who had
entered 'the holy city on the old pilgrim
load from Jaffa , received as a present
from the sultan the ruins of the
Murlstnn ( an Insane asylum ) ; he took pos
session publicly of the site.
The crown prince promised at the time
of hU visit that a new evangelical church ,
the first In Palestine , would bo created on
that bite. Ho dlrl not lack the good will ,
but circumstances were stronger than the
prince's endeavors. H Is duo solely to the
Initiative of his con , the emperor , that the
promise made BO long ago will at last b9
redeemed. Ho not only used the enormous
nelght of his personal Influence to over ,
come all difficulties , but designed In person
the sketch of the tower of the now church ,
which the official architect , Prof. Adlcr of
Dcrlln , embodied In his plans without tbo
slightest alteration , of course. The em
peror also lent his financial support so that
the building U now practically complete.
Our Illustration U taken from the sketch
of the emperor , and shows hU own
signature. The church Itself la a square
edifice of sovcro lines , llko many other
house opposite their home. "I wonder
what those letters stand for ? " asked Ethel.
"Why , " replied Harry , "It means that
gran'pa's all right. "
The Visitor I suppose you play with the
other little girls around hero ?
Oracle No , sir. Some Is too naughty
and Bomo has the whooping cough !
"Why do wo ask God for our dally bread
when mammn gives us that ? " asked little
Ethel.
"Oh , there's got to be just so much red
tape , " answered llttlo Cuthbert.
"Don't you think you have a good
mamma to spread such nice , large slices ol
bread with Jam for you ? " asked little
Ethel's grandma.
"Oh , I don't know , " replied tha lltth
miss. "Sho'd bo a heap sight goodor l !
she'd let me spread the jam myself. "
Here Is a child story , which exemplifies
the tenacious memory i * llttlo boy holds fo ;
the good times that ho has had In his life
says the Kansas City Journal. Georgi
Thompson was on trial In the district cour
lu Emnorla. Kan. , on the charge of horse
stealing. It was known that the crime hat

uaa an alibi. HU family all Aworo that he
came homo thnt night just after the curfew
whistle blew , and this made tha alllil a good
ono. After this testimony bad been given
llttlo Leo O'Connor , the 5-year-old son of the
sheriff , turned to his father aud said :
"Why , papa , the curfew did not blow on
the Fourth of July. Wo children stayed out
and played as long a wo vranted to on that
night. "
An Investigation was made , and , sure
enough , It was found that the curfew had
been suspended for that holiday occasion.
The Jury found Thompson guilty.
The Wtnftcld ( Kan. ) Courier Is authority
for this llttlo girl story. Her papa , was
trying to read and she was questioning him.
"Does Jesus and God both llvo up In
heaven , papa ? "
"Yes , both live there. "
"Could they como down her * If they
ranted to ? "
"Yes , Jesus and God can go everywhere. "
"Could they both como together ? "
"Of-course they could. Now don't bother
mo any more , llttla one. "
"Well , I don't think BO. If both of them
came away together who would 'tend to the
babies ? "
Wttlo Archibald was saying his prayers
the other evening , while his mother was
otroklng his curly head and thinking of
something else- . Suddenly it struck her that
the child had wandered -from the text of
the supplication that ho had been taught to
repeat.
"What is that , darling ? " eho Interrupted.
"Go over that part again , "
Give us this day our dally plo and cake ,
and forgive "
"Why. my love , that Isn't right , " the sur
prised mother broke In ; "that Isn't what
mamma taught you to say. "
"I know , " little Archibald replied , "but I
don't want any more dally bread. I'd rather
have pl > and cake , and when we're prayln *
for things you might as well ask for what
you want the most. "
"Never mind , mamma , " said a llttlo girl
who had asked her mother a question , as
reported by the New York Times , "you
need not trouble to tell me , I will ask papa.
Ho Is a lawyer , but you are only an
ordinary mother. "

In which a man sued another for balance of f

"I cannot permit such a statement to go

court.
"Note the exception , Mr. Stenographer , *
roared the attorney.
"It Isn't often , " said the well known at
torney to the Detroit Free Press , "that a
witness gets the best of a lawyer. But I
remember one that got the best of me In a
way that caused the shivers to run up and
down my back.
"A good many years ago I was retained
upon a line- fence suit between two old
farmers. It had been In the courts for ten
years , and bid fair to bo there for ten more
unless the parties became bankrupt lu the
meanwhile.
"It was my firat appearance In the mat

lawyers who died.
"I was very , very young. In fact , It was
my first case , and I felt my Importancp
moro than I do now after thirty years of
hard grind.
"Among the witnesses was an old farmer
that I knew personally , having been born
and brought up In the same neighborhood.
"Ho was put on the stand to swear to
some facts thnt happened ten years back ,
and when ho was turned over to me for
cross-examination I proceeded to test the
value of his memory dating so far back.
" 'Do you mean to say , ' I began sternly ,
, 'that you can remember a mere Incident
that happened ten years ago ? '
" 'Yes ( sir , ' he answered.
" 'Then you mean to say that you can re

Farmer Dunn drove a black and white cow
Into his back pasture ? '
" 'Yes , sir , I kin , ' ho answered.
" 'Then , perhaps , ' said I , sarcastically ,
'you can remember something else that hap

" 'Yes , I kin , ' he put In eagerly , 'Jes1 after

Speaking of the libraries and club houses

Great manufacturing families like the
Fairbanks find the Ames wisely give libra
ries , schools and balls for social and other
purposes directly to the town. The num
ber of employers who furnish free reading
rooms and libraries In their own works Is
considerable. It Is nulto exceeded , how
ever , by thosa men and women of wealth
who have built , usually in their native
towns , those monuments which James Ilii9 <
sell Lowell thought most lasting and
cure in the shape of public libraries. The
list of such benefactions Is one of the bright-
cst races In American civilization.
Club houses are usually found In connec-
tlon I with industries employing larga num
bers 1 of men. llko Iron nnd steel works , and
railways and electric lines. Of ono of these
Institutions nn employer well auallfled to

Just as the Pope bicycle factory at Hart

One of his particularly strong points was'
that of profit-sharing. To quote his own
words :
The Industrial partnership method which
has behind It so conspicuous a record of 1
success , nnd which IB loiry In operation [
with moro than 200 firms and cor
porations , at home and abroad. In a great L
variety of business , is a strictly limited and [
well-defined scheme , essentially different
from productive co-operation as well ad
from the pure wages system.
The socialist , the nationalist , the single-
tax advocate all theao. as a rule , look with
lofty contempt upon a plan that would re-
suit in promoting a kindly feeling of part-
nership between employer and employe , In
a general improvement of the quality of
work , and In a modest dividend to labor as
a common practice.
The ideal employer , like many actual
employers now. will lake kindly Interest In
the men who are lolnt workers with the
counting room. Ho will destro to see thurn
well housed and Insured acaluat sickness and
old aso and their families assisted In case
of decease. He can take nn active part In
encouraging thrift among them after the
manner of the Chicago Electric Car cotn-
panv of the south side , which receives de-
posits for its employes' btnellt association.
Other firms , llko the Riverside Press of ,
Cambridge , and the Carucglo company of
PlttBburg. pay an extra Interest , now half
as large again as is the current rate in the
common savincs banks , and the Riverside
Press adds a possible dividend to this of
from 1 to 4 per cent out of the profits of
the year.
In the operation of the profit-sharing sys
tem the most cncouraclnc results have coma
from every endeavor In that direction. The
participating workman produces more , or
Improves the quality of his product. Is care
ful of the tools he handles and the machine
he runs , In saving of the materials , superIntends -
Intends and is sunerlntended bv his fel

sult attained by the 1'eaco Dale woolen
mills , the Plllsbury flour mills , the Spring
field foundry , the Ara Cushmnn Boot and
Shoo company of Auburn , Me. , the Rogers
& Peet firm of clothiers In New York , the

Page Belting company of Concord , N. H. ,
the Yale & Towno Lock company of Stam
ford , tbo Procter & Gamble swap works of
Cincinnati , the N. O. Nelson company or
st. Louis , the Century Magazine company ,
and the Riverside Press of Cambridge.
Those are some of the most conspicuous
American houses now operating successfully
on the plan of glvlnc a dividend to labor.

The Peace Dale ( R. I. ) woolen mills paid
no bonus In 1878 , the first year under the
Industrial partnership plan. In the next ;
two years the bonus gave 5 per cent on
wages , and In the two years following only
3 per cent. Since IbsS there hail been no
profit In the woolen business at Peace Dale
to warrant Messrs. Hazard In paying a bonus.
"We still firmlv bellevo in our plan. " they
wrote , in 1888 , "and only await the time
when we can continue It" ( bv declaring an !
other bonus ) . The great Plllsbury flour !
mills of Minneapolis paid. In 1883-85 , three
dividends to labor , amounting to $123,000 , or
33 per cent on wages. For the next two
years , owing to the crcat decline in wheat ,
no profits could be aiviilcd. Jlie employes
received the news "In the best possible
spirit. " Such Is a sample of the testimony
going to show that the workman , under

1S76. on account of the approaching Hu&so-

employer nnd the employe , In addition to
regular Interest , salary and wages was ix
practical painter nnd decorator at the head
of a large business In Paris. Leclalro was
his name. Ho tried the experiment cau
tiously , beginning In 1842. after duo prepa

questions were answered by experience with
a decided ntllrmativp. Ho went on applying
and Improving his system for thirty years
with entire success. The Mnlson Leclalro

dray , lest her face should betray her.
Many years ago John Bright and George
Peabody , the philanthropist , were fishing In
a little Irish stream. Late In the evening ,
after n hard day's work , the party arrived
at the landing stage , and Bright , accoiilng
the Inevitable policeman on the bank , said.
"What Is the proper prlco to pay thcso
boatmen , constable ? "
Ho replied : Seven shillings and sixpence ,
yer houncr ; but some glntlemen glvo them
10 shillings. "
Bright , turning to his companion , said : "I
have no change , Pcabodyj have you three
half-crowns ? "
The millionaire produced the coins and
gave them to one of the boatmen.
"Is that all ye'ro giving me ? " asked the
latter.
"That's all , " said Peabody.
Holding the coins in the open palm of his
hand , and slowly scratching his head with
the other , the boatman said :
"An1 they call yo Pay-body , don't they ?
Well , I call yo Paynobody. "
Absolute purity Is the
chief ornament of this
fame-crowned beer.

I lave been afflicted for years with female
trouble and a pain in my left side. Our home
doctors could not help me , so I went to Spring
field for treatment. The physician said 1 had en
largement and ulcention of the womb. I got so
weak and poorly the _ doctor told me I had better
po home. He advised me to get some Wine of
Cardui to take at home. I bought two bottles ,
and am surprised at the result. It helped ms more
than anything I ever took and I am up doing
my housework.
LAURA CLIMER.
You don't often find
physicians recommending what are
called "patent medicines" . Thousands of them however are
frank enough to admit that Wine of Cardui will curt "female
diseases" . If this great medicine does not cure , nothing will.
The case of Laura Climer Is simply one of thousands where
Wine of Cardui has restored women to health after the best
physicians had given them up at beyond the aid of human help.
The wine b unequaled for all the peculiar troubles and sicknesses
of women for the girl just entering womanhood for reducing
the pains of childbirth and assisting . in quick recovery
