That’s the Way I Shoot.

An officer in attendance at a shooting competition noticed two men firing with anything but precision. Approaching them, he exclaimed angrily: “You fellows don’t know how to shoot; lend me the rifle and let me show you.” “Barig!” and the target was missed. A tiroad grin overspread the features of the two privates, but the officer was equal to the occasion. Turning to the first, with a frown upon his countenance, he remarked, “That’s the way you shoot, sir!” A second attempt, and a siinilar result. Turning 'to the other, _ he continued, “And that’s the way you shoot^sir!” A third shot, and an inner was fluked. With pardonable pride the worthy officer returned the rifle, triumphantly adding, “And that’s the wayl shoot!” The men ever sibce have entertained a very high opinion of him as a marksman.— Exchange.
