I An International rifle match of un
usual interest will be sbot this winter
Snnder the auspices of the Society of
lMinlature Rifle Clubs of Great Britain
•land the National Rifle Association of
America. Each country will be rep
|resented by fifty men, who will shoot
.. ,* ten shots each at twenty-five yards
fcwlth miniature rifles. The Americans
'Will doubtless use the 22 caliber, as
"j ®nder the terms of the challenge the
'"jC
"'caliber of the rifles is limited to 23,
K'„ /''which is comparatively unknown in
iv i the United States.
The ten shots are to be fired on what
la known as a double decimal target,
which Is really two targets together,
/each with an Inch sighting bull und an
-/•'-Snuer half inch bull counting ten. Ten
(concentric eircleH one-quarter of an
^Mmlncb apart divide the count from one to
.. ten. Five shots are to be fired on each
'A,' target, the ten shots constituting the
-string allowed each competitor. One
^hundred targets will be sent to the Na
tlonal Rifle association by the Society
of Miniature Rifle Clubs, bearing the
signature of the latter. The Indorse
tneut of the American association will
v .be added and fifty of the targets re
'turned to Great Britain. After the
'shooting the two sets of targets will
,be collected and exchanged to verify
*ithe scores, which will be sent by cable.
&i>
year by the winning country, and each
participant will receive a commem
orative medal. Considerable prepara
tlon will be necessary for the match,
which will likely not take place until
midwinter. The National Rifle asso
ciation will shortly begin selecting
the fifty shots to represent the United
j| States, and as It Is desired to secure
fjthe best It is probable that all the
ii rifle clubs affiliated with the assocla
tlon will be Invited to compete for the
honor of supplying members of the
team. After the "tryouts" a team will
be selected, and when the match 1h
shot the men chosen will shoot their
strings on the range belonging to
their own clubs. If possible, the dates
will be arranged so that the shooting
will be done In both countries, or all
J-three. If Australia comes In, on the
same date, though necessarily there
will bo some difference In actual time.
The challenge provides that any
rifle not exceeding 23 caliber may be
used, with any sights not employing
glass, any arumunlton, and that any
position may be assumed. The Amert
k cans will probably request that the
latter be changed and that the provl
slon be restricted to offhand. It is
ii believed the challengers will agree to
this.
While 22 caliber rifle practice, both
In and out of doors, Is growing In fa
vor In the United States with great
y rapidity, the sport has not yet the
'.i popularity or the support it receives
In England. Some of the gteatest
men and women of the latter country
give it their hearty encouragement and
patronage. For example, the Society
of Miniature Rifle Clubs Is under the
patronage of IT. R. II. the Duke of
Connaught, while the two trustees are
!. the Puke of Norfolk (the premier duke
iof England) and the Duke of West
's minster, the wealthiest peer of that
country. Associated with them In the
management of the society are such
distinguished personages as the Mar
chloness of Londonderry, the Earl of
Albemarle, Viscount Colvllle, Lieuten
ant General Sir Ian Hamilton, Major
General Sir Alfred Turner, Lieutenant
General W. W. Briscoe, Lieutenant
i General F. Lance, Major General Sir
»R. B. Love, Major General W. H. Mc-
Kinnon, Major General A. C. Cod
rington and many others.
The president of the organization Is
none other than the great field mar
shal Earl Roberts, who has been so
active in promoting the cause of mln
,' lature rifle practice as well as mill
tary and civilian rifle practice in gen
.. eral throughout the British empire.

Saturday Miller had four ribs frac

seeing a doctor. The other day, when
Norfolk met Torrington, Miller sur
prised players and rooters of the Nor

the fray. He played right guard In
both halves. Norfolk lost by a score of

Far-reaching.
In the weekly Sunday morning ser
mon at yule tbo Rev. Endicott Pea
body, principal of Groton school, re
cently discussed the danger of the
"vicious rich." lie Is principal of the
school where the sous of President
Roosevelt, John Hay and William C
Whitney prepared fors college. He
said:
"It is the vicious, idle rich from whom
we have to fear more than from any
other element In our modern life.
Their vlciousness Is of the most vio
lent sort and Is the most harmful
llnce it is so farreaching. Besides
those who are born rich, another class
to be feared are those who become
rich and are unable to stand prosperity.
We no longer fear people In high
authority, and In one way this Is a
good thing. But we do not fear God
iny longer, It seems sometimes. What
we do fear and what Is bad is mate
rial things. 'Things are la tte saddle
and ride mankind."'
MOUNTAIN LION FOR TAFT.
Animal Lassoed After It Had Attacked
8outh Dakota Travelers.
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Bigelow ef Farm
Ingdalc, 8. D., were attacked by a
mountain lion a few days ago while
driving to Underwood. Mr. Bigelow,
while driving through the country,
saw what at first he thought was a
yearling calf running ahead of his rig.
As he drew up to the animal he dis
covered that It was an unusually large
mountain lion.
The lion had attacked the ponies
driven by Mr. Bigelow when a cow
boy from IJllly V. Christian's ranch
ame to the rescue and, after several
Ineffectual attempts, succeeded In las
soing the lion around the neck and one
of the front legs. The animal was
dragged across the prairie until he was
sulMlued and finally "hog tied."
The lion was brought to Farming
dale and Is now confined In a stout
age. According to the captors, the
animal will be presented to President
Elect Taft as a Christmas gift.
BIRD BREEDING FOR PLUMES.
By This Method Woman Hopes to Im
prove Millinery.
Breeding the ostrich and other plum
age birds for their feathers with a
'•lew to "doing with the ostrich what
has been done with the chrysanthe
mum" is the plan of Mrs. L. S. Hertz
berg, who Is establishing a breeding
plant at Huntington, N. Y.
"I do not know how my plans be
came known," said Mrs. Hertzberg,
"for I Intended to start In on a small
scale and work up quietly.
"This plume," she went on, taking
up a large ostrich feather, 'is what I
am after. That Is reaily several feath
ers stitched together. It should be pos
sible to get ostrich plumes far heavier
than they are today. Several smaller
birds used in millinery will be raised
on the place. It seems to me that
birdB carefully raised for their plum
age should produce feathers of a high
er commercial value than can birds not
so favored."
TO STOP FOREST FIRES.
Forester Wants Observation Towers
on Adirondack Mountains.
James S. Whipple, state forest, fish
and game commissioner, who is con
sidering the future protection of New
York state forests against Aire visita
tions such as the recent disastrous ex
perience in the Adirondacks, will prob
ably recommend to the legislature that
funds be given him to establish obser
vation towers on the higher mountains
in order that fires may be detected
more readily.
Commissioner Whipple will urge a
Bevere penalty for causing fires
through carelessness and will Insist
that locomotives used in the forests
utilize a fuel other than coal. These
factors will make for a reasonable
safety hereafter during a drought
The question as to whether the state
should pay the entire cost of fighting
the forest fires has not been decided.
The towns now pay half the expense.
RED FOX WITH WHITE FEET.
"Rarer Than a White Blackbird," 8ays
Lucky Trapper.
A big red fox with four white feet
was trapped by John llall of Sher
man, Conn., the other day. Hall, an
experienced trapper, says a fox with
white feet Is rarer than a white black
bird and that he will get a good price
for this, one of the biggest foxes ever
seen about Sherman. He has it in an
iron cage witlj three other live foxes
und four raccoons.
Hall has been very lucky this sea
son. While hunting a few days ago he
shot two raccoons, together weighing
fifty pounds, in one tree. He has trap
ped twenty-two foxes, besides other
animals. He has fourteen live skunks
In a cage. He can handle the skunks
without worse result than if
were chickens.

MATURE
UNO A WOMAN'S WORK
lA E. P1NKHAM
Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baflle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St.,
Louisiana, Mo., writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years I had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleveu different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at timeB I
'.'ould hardly walk. About two years
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re
stored health ant strength. It is
worth mountains wf gold to suffering
women."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound did for Mra. Muff
It will do for other suffering women
