"Dead Shota” Devoted
Much Time to Practice
I hod a man with me in Texas and
New Mexico —surveying for Santa Fe
—who knew a thing or two about
drawing a gun, Louis C. Mllllkln
writes in Adventure Magazine.
I have seen him put his hands on bls
bead, have another man throw up a
can, draw, hit It with both right and
left gun and return guns to scabbard
before it had reached the top of the
throw about 15 to 20 feet (or at least
before it had stopped going up from
the hits).
In my estimation at that time he
was a marvel with a six-gun and,
though I have seen others, I never
saw his equal. His name was Jack
Melllah.
The reason why gunmen of the
“Wild Days’’ were such experts at the
draw and shot, even with the old
Frontier Colt, was simply that they
spent as much if not more time in
practicing the draw and shot as some
of our eminent musicians spend prac
ticing their art.
Within and Without
Why should I hasten to solve every
riddle which life offers me? lam well
assured that the Questioner who
brings me so many problems will bring
the answers also In due time. Very
rich, very potent, very cheerful giver
that He is, He shall have it all His own
way, for me. Why should I give up
my thought, because I cannot answer
an objection to it? Consider only
whether it remains in my life the
same it was. That only which we
have within, can we see without. If
we meet no gods, it is because we
harbor none. If there is grandeur in
you, you will find grandeur in porters
and sweeps. He only is rightly im
mortal to whom all things are im
mortal. I have read somewhere that
none Is accomplished so long as any
are Incomplete; that the happiness of
one cannot consist with the misery of
any other. —Emerson.
It isn’t necessary for a woman to
be an artist in order to draw atten
tion.
Famine Has More Than
Once Gripped England
The story of famines in England has
been a gloomy one from earliest times.
At the beginning of the Eighth cen
tury a dearth, which extended to Ire
land, drove men to cannibalism.
It was not until the reign of Aethel
red the Unready, however, that “such
a famine prevailed as no man can re
member,” from 1005 to 1016.
Those chroniclers who were wont to
see bad conditions at their worst, says
the National Geographic Magazine, de
clared that half the population of the
larger island perished.
But it must be remembered that
much of the mortality of this period
was occasioned by the wars between
Aethelred and Sweyn the Dane, the
latter being forced by the famine to
retire from England for a time.
Naturally, the era following the ad
vent of William the Conqueror was
one of widespread starvation and pes
tilence among the English peasantry.
During the last 30 years of the
Eleventh century, nine were years of
dire distress.
So great was the dearth In 1069 that
the peasants of the north, unable
longer to secure dogs and horses to
appease their hunger, sold themselves
Into slavery In order to be fed by their
masters.
All the land between Durham and
York lay waste, without inhabitants
or people to »till the soil for nine
years, says Beverly, and another writer
accuses the destitute of cannibalism.
Poor Advertisement
Good advertising should look not
merely to the present but to the future.
It must have been a short-sighted
bouse painter that Inserted the follow
ing announcement In his home news
paper: "To the Public: The reason
why I have hitherto been able to do
painting so much cheaper than any
body else is because I am a bachelor
and do not need to make a profit for
the maintenance of a wife and chil
dren. ’Tis now my duty to inform the
public that this advantage will shortly
be withdrawn, as I am about to be
married. You will therefore do well
to send in your orders at once for the
old rate.” —Youth’s Companion.
Making Him Useful
The plumber worked and the helper
stood looking on. He was learning the
business. This was hls first day.
“I say," he inquired, “do you charge
for my time?”
"Certainly,” came the reply.
"But I haven't done anything.”
The plumber, to fill In the hour, had
been looking long at the finished Job
with a lighted candle. Handing the
two inches of it that were still un
burned to the helper, he said, wlther
ingly: “Here, if you must be so con
scientious, blow that out I"
Teaching Parrots to Talk
The bureau of biological survey says
no hard and fast rule can be laid
down for teaching a bird to talk. This
is entirely a matter of patience and
perseverance in dealing with the bird.
At first the bird should be kept in a
room by Itself, and the cage covered
on three sides. Do not talk to the
bird except In repeating simple
phrases over and over again. Only
one phrase should be used In a single
day in the early training. Gradually
work until several phrases are repeat
ed over and over to the bird each day.

Grahams Set Free
Danielsville, Ga. (Special) -
Warrants charging Alvin Graham
and Elco and Mazelle Graham with
the murder of Guy Graham, aged 7,
here several weeks ago were dis
missed late Tuesday afternoon fol
lowing a preliminary trial of the
former before three justices of the
peace. A tremendous crowd wit
nessed the hearing.
The state, after presenting three
witnesses closed its case shortly be
fore 3 o’clock. The two children,
Elco and Mazelie Graham, who have
figured in the sensational case were
not put up as witnesses by the state.
Solicitor General A. S. Skelton, of
Hartwell, assisted by R. H. Gordon,
Esq., of Danielsville, are conducting
the prosecution before Justice Tom
Gholston and several other justices.
Guy, Charlie and Gus Compton, of
Madison county, neighbors of Alvin
Graham, testified for the state.
Alvin Graham was arrested about
two weeks ago after his half-brother
and half-sister, Elco and Mazelle
Graham, declared he was the mur
derer of little Guy. Later Elco and
Mazelle claimed Guy was killed by
Elco while they were playing bear.
The two children have told several
stories about the shooting.
