RIFLE 8HQ0TIIIG WILL BE. TAUGHT As Safe Guard to Nation, Young Americans Will Be Instructed.

BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington, Feb. 13. Following Ihe publlcutlon of the report of Secretary of War Ulckinson that this country would be at the mercy of a first class power should war occur, efforts are being made by representatives In congress to put the United States In a belter condition of preivtrednens for wir. To this end numbers of patriotic societies have Joined hands. Possibly one of the greatest movements in this respect Is that fostered by the national rifle association which for the past thirty years has been engaged In this work. The principal Idea of those who have yearly subscribed to the association la to teach the youth and citizens of the country how to shoot with the rifle. In 1903 congress passed a bill providing for prizes to be given in national shooting matches. Senator Hoot, of New York, then secretary of war, created the national board for the jromoilon of rifle practice. Its first ofllclal act was to recommend the encouragement by the government of rifle practice through clubs composed of those who would be available for ncrvlco In time of war. The recommendation especially charged that this work be taken up in the schools. The ost of Improving national marksmanship was taken up by the national rifle association. Prizes Are Offered. Tho markmanship over the indoor course for preparatory schools prescribing that each boy below nineteen, shall Are ten shots standing and ten shots prone at fifty feet at a target with a one-Inch bullseye, using the .22 caliber rifle. To every boy making not less than thirty-eight points standing and 42 prone, or a total of eighty )Kints out of a possible hundred, a silver )aM) button is presented, and the boy becomes a "Junior marksman." Practice is had several times a year. After a boy has qualified on the Indoor range he Is taken on tho outdoor range. There the firing Is done at two hundred yards, using the army rlflo and target. The course consists of ten shots standing and' ten shots prone. If u score of not less than thir ty-five ioints standing and forty points prone or a total of seventy-five points out of a jtosslble one hundred is made, the boy Is presented with a bronze medal. Kach one of the school clubs receives annually from the national rifle association a medal for which the members compete. Where there are more than one one Bchool clubs in a city, the association presents a handsoino loving cup for tho lntcr-schol-antic competition. Kach year a contest Is held between all the school cluba In tho United States for tho national championship. The winning school receives the Astor Cup, to be held for ono year, and each member of the team receives a silver medal. As the association realizes that the best possible means to Interest the boys Is by holding these competitions, tournaments are arranged for each winter 'in the large cities. The first one of these was held in New York in 1908. followed by others In I'hlliylel'phla, Ilaltlmore. Washington. Denver and Los Angeles. . Successful Tournament. Tho flrst effort by the association to hold an outdoor tournament was made at the national capital last year. Trlzes were donated by the secretary and assistant secretary of war, chief of ordnance, chamber of commerce, local newspapers, and some of the leading citizens. This tournament was n success. In spite of the fact that not half of the boys who presented themselves at the rango could be instructed, owing to the lack of time and target facilities. Markers, scorers and rango officers were furnished by the United States Marine corps, the natioanl guard of the District of Columbia furnished the range, and many officers volunteered as Instructors. In New York state last year seven thousand boys were instructed in marksmanship. There the work is highly systematized, and under the general direction of the public schools athletic league, of which General George W. Wingatc, the father of AmONE BIG FOOL But He Doesn't Live in Richmond Nor Read the Richmond Palladium. A man In Connecticut gave a doctor, a specialist In catarrh, $50 to cure him of thin common yet most obnoxious dlxease. The specialist gave him a bottle of medicine and told him to use it. The fool took the medicine home, took ohe dose, put it on a shelf and Mado no further effort to follow Instructions. Three months later with the medicine on the shelf he told a friend that the specialist was a fake; that he had paid him $50 and still had catarrh. IIYOMKI (pronounce it Htfch-o-me) won't cure catarrh If you don't breathe It; it will If you breathe it regularly. Furthermore, you don't need to giro catarrh specialist $50 to cure you of catarrh, for the specialist is yet to be born who can write a better prescription than IIYOMKI. Ieo II. Flhe and druggists everywhere guarantee IIYOMKI to cure catarrh or money back. A complete outfit which consists of a bottle of IIYOMKI, a hard rubber Inhaler and simple instructions for use costs only $!.(. Separate bottles of IIYOJIKI If afterwards needed cost but 50 Cents,

J - MISS ELM A MEIER Swimmer at the Murray This Week crican rifle shooting. Is president. Great impetus was given the work through the donation of sub-target machines, an ingenious mechanical device to which la attached a regulation service rifle, and which records every movement of the gun in aiming. It registers on a miniature target the exact location of a "hit." In Philadelphia, ranges were built in the high schools for the use of the boys. At present eighty-three preparatory schools in the United States are carrying on "rifle practice. Thirty-five are public high schools, thitry-eiyht military schools, two grammar schools and eight private schools. The funds to carry on this work are raised through public subscription by the national rifle association. Some 'of the men who have contributed are President Taft, ex-President Koosevelt Ambassador Bacon, Secretary of the Navy Meyer, Secretary of War Dickinson, Governor lladley of Missouri, ex-Governor Huchtcl of Colorado. exGovernor Guild of Massachusetts, cxGovernor Murphy of New Jersey. Senators Hoot, Wetmore. Warren Hriggs and Dick, and such business men as John Drexel, It. C. Krick, George Westlnghouse, Mortimer L. Schiff, Clarence II. Mackay and W. Hayard Cutting. Bill Still Sleeping. Among members of the army stationed in Washington there Is a feeling that this la a work for which the government should pay and for eight years ineffectual efforts were made to gain congressional assistance. A bill however was Introduced in congress at tho close of last year providing for the Isuuanco of rifles and ammunition to rifle clubs and an annual appropriation of $100,000 for the promotion of rifle practice among the citizens of the United States. The bill is still re posing in the archives of the house committee on military affairs. When this bill becomes a law, the government will be in position to give practical assistance to the schools in carrying on rifle practice. A glance at what other nations are doing in this respect shows that Franco is spending $100,000 a year in teaching rifle shooting In the primary schools of that country. Australia has forty thousand school boys organized into cadet corps who are taught to shoot. England holds yearly competitions. In addition W. W. Astor the expatriated American has given $50,000 to forward the work. Last year Lord Strathcona donated $250,000 as an endowment fnud, the Interest of which Is to promote rifle practice In the public schools of Canada. Should the citizens of this country be trained In rifle shooting on the same ratio as in other countries, the United States would have 4,280,000 to depend upon in time of war. At Local Theaters Russell Players. The, Russell players will open their week's engagement at the Genuctt theater tonight in the Ucau P.rummell Burglar, a piece which is entirely new to Richmond people and will therefore be received with a great deal of pleasure by all those who desire to see a popular company in a new play. Miss Grace Bryan and Mr. Edward Russell were both received in a pleasant manner during their previous stay in Richmond at the time of the Thanksiving holidays, and their return will be eagerly anticipated by their host of friends. Their performance of The Blue Mouse was witnessed by more people than had ever been in the Gcnnett theater at one time before. Printers' Indoor Fair and Circus. The following testimonial as to the merits of the Printer's Indoor Fair, held in the Leeds room this week, is given by a Lafayette business man: Lafayette. Ind.. Keb. 3, 1911. The H.

It seems that this knot was so tied that the ends of the leather thong were not visible, hence the difficulty in loosening it. Many must have tried to untie it. for its fame as a "sticker" at last reached the great oracle, which declared that the lucky experimenter should be rewarded by the kingship of Persia. Alexander, trying his hand and meeting with no better success than the others, drew his sword and cut into the knot until he found the ends of it Right to the Point. When the lord chief justice visited Ireland he was often entertained by a hospitable gentleman who bad an old butler, who took the privilege of sneaking his mind freely. On one occasiou the claret did not quite meet the host's approval, so he called the ancient butler and said: 'I told you you were to put the best claret on the table. Is this the best?" "No. sorr. It is not the best claret." replied the old fellow, "but it's the best ye've got." London Tit-Bits. Knew He Was Worshiped. "In Paris Mr. Whistler and an English painter got into a very turbulent argument about Velasquez at n studio tea." said an artist. "Mr. Whistler at one point in the argument praised himself extravagautly. The Englishman, listening, sneered and said at the end: " 'It's a good thing we can't see ourselves as others see us.' " 'Isn't it. though?' said Mr. Whistler. I know in my case I should grow intolerably conceited.' " Theology and the Thermometer. A point of theology Is raised by Sir Fmucis Youngbusband in "India and Tibet." "An interesting detail." he says, speaking of the religion of the nr.tives. "is that their hell is not hot. but cold. If it were hot the inhabitants of frozen Tibet would all flock there."

Atl AGED NEGRESS TALKS OH SLAVERY

'Aunt Mary" Foster, 98, Has Memories Recalled by an Old Song. Strains of "My Old Kentucky Home" floating into the dingy little office of the Associated Charities, this morning drew tears to the eyes of "Aunt Mary" Foster, an old negress, as it brought back memories' of her old plantation home in Bowling Green, Ky., where hiany years ago she was a slave. Old "Aunt Mary" lives on Fifth avenue in Fairview with her husband. Press Foster, who is nearly 100 years old. She cannot remember her ago. but knows that she Is over ! years ! old. The old woman has been mar-' ried three times, the first time when she was in slavery. She came of a family of 15 children, all of whom were sold and sent south, before the civil war, for a few years of work iu the cotton fields and then death. The old jiegress was born in Kentuck, and raised on the plantation of Elisha Simpson, a member of one of the old families of Kentucky. Vividly she described the "little hut among the rushes." where she was born and reared. "Old Msssa" Was Good. The old "massa" was good to hi3 slaves, but the son and women of tho family were cruel. "Aunt Mary" told how she has seen slaves Utterly beat- i en to death with the terrible black- j snake whip, which the planters car-j ried. Sht said many cr,;el blows had been dealt her by "Miss" Nancy, the mistress, who sometimes carried a whip. j No mercy was shown the slaves,' men or women, she said. They were sent into the fields hours before day-1 break and forced to labor, hoeing corn, I or on other farm labors until late at night. Slaves were treated as dumb animals, according to "A nut Mary's interesting story. They were killed "just iho same as rabbits," she said, and given little more consideration, being underfed, under clothed and , ' cursed. Her master, as he grew older, brooded over the awful treatment of his slaves. Finally he lost his mind aud from that time rapidly became a rav - ing maniac. The old slave, who had been his favorite, was the only one by whom he would be cared for. Several times, she said, he attacked servants and seriously injured them. However, with her he was as docile as a child. - One day "Aunt Mary" left him longer than usual. When she returned he was nowhere to be found. Then came a. search in which all the slaves and members of the family searched every nook and corner of the house, barns and fields of the big plantation. Fin ally, stumbling into a long deserted tobacco barn, in a far corner of the plantation tlie men found his body. It was hu:ig high from a timber in the dark upper portion of the barn, among the long leaves of tobacco, blackened with age The slaves would never fram that day go near the old barn, for they said it was haunted.

The "yankees" were always polite and never stole anything, she said, but the "see-ses-sionist." soldiers were constantly stealing and ravaging the plantations. She told of the day the slaves all lpft her old master's home. The master had gone to Lexington and Mistress Nancy was in charge of the plantation. One of the slaves refused to observe one of her orders and then all the blacks ran away from the plantation. Most of them came north.

PET IS MISSING; CHILD SCORNS FOOD Chicago, February 11. Her fast of five days, due to grief over the loss of her little dog Wink, has been broken by three-year-old Marie Hisgen. and fears that the child might starve herself to death while mourning for the missing pet vanished. The little girl is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hisgen, of 6920 Wentworth avenue. Wink is a white fox terrier. He and little Marie were inseparable companions. The dog disappeared, and when three days went by and no Wing was seen, little Marie's grief

was pathetic. Crying hysterically and calling out continually in her sleep for her missing comrade, the child refused to taste food, and for a time it was feared her grief would prove fatal. Then the parents and neighbors began to press pretty dolls upon the little girl, in the hope they might make her forget Wink. The doll that .won was a rag one, the cheapest of the whole lot.
