A Rival of Bogardus.

One of the crack military companies of Houston was out practicing targetshooting. One of the members was tpld to shoot at the door of a deserted barn. He did so but missed the entire barn. - The captain was very angry, and told the young man how bad it would be, in case the enemy were shooting from behind the door, that none of them would be hit. “Yes, but wouldn’t the hostile enemies that were coming around the corner of the barn catch fits ?” replied this Texas Bogardus.— Texas Siftings.
