COULD NOT READ, BUT HE’S THERE WITH RIFLE

’ Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala. —A recruit-to Captain Winston’s company was ordered to shoot at a certain target, the number being given. “I kain’t read, Cap’n,” said the Tennesseean. The target was shown him and when he had finished, his tally was 48 hits out of a possible 50. The officers say that these mountaineers seldom go under 40 hits out of 50 shots.
