Myles Standish Rifle Club. 
Portland, Me., June 13. — While weather conditions 
have been fine during the past ten days, our attendance 
has been confined to the more enthusiastic shooters. i*s 
vet only a few of our club members have taken ad¬ 
vantage of the outdoor range. We being located in a 
summer resort section, a great many of our members 
either live at some resort or are so closely connected with 
business that it is impossible for them to get to the 
range very often. We have two matches on the irons 
now, one with the Mound City Club, 15-man revolver 
match, and one with the Colonial Revolver Club, 10 men. 
Each of these are now in the balance, as we cannot get 
the required number of men together for practice. We 
hope these conditions will change within the next week 
or ten days, and that we can take on some outdoor 
matches.

PECK SMITH'S PROVERB. 
"She was a bright young Yankee school- 
ltarm,” said Thompson H. Herndon. “She came 
lighly recommended to a prosperous and aristo- 
ratic neighborhood not far from Little Rock 
few months ago, and was not long in build- 
ng up a good school. Time wore on and her 
jupils advanced wonderfully in their studies, 
bhe conceived the idea a few weeks ago of giv¬ 
ing an exhibition of her most proficient class, 
ind invited all the neighbors to come to the little 
choolhouse on Friday evening, that they might 
ee and hear for themselves the progress that 
iad been made by her teachings. There was a 
ood crowd present. She had all the little girls 
nd the little boys to stand up. She questioned 
his one about one thing and another about 
omething else. Their answers were gratifying 
0 the pretty teacher and to the parents of the 
hildren. 
“‘‘Now,’ she said to them toward the close, ‘I 
rant each of you to repeat some old proverb.’ 
"Said Johnnie: ‘All is not gold that glitters.’ 
“'Very good,’ said she, ‘very good.’ 
“‘Be virtuous and you’ll be happy,’ said Jim- 
fie. 
“ ‘That’s splendid. Why, you boys remind me 
0 much of a school I once taught in Boston,’ 
esponded the fair teacher. 
" ‘The germ of ambition is the chrysalis of 
isdom,’ said Willie. 
"And so on down the class she went until she 
ot to Peck Smith. He wasn’t very bright, and 
he intended to skip him, but he seemed anxious 
b say something, and she asked him if he knew 
ny old proverb. He did. 
" ‘A stump-tailed yaller dog is the best for 
oons,’ was his answer. 
“Peck’s father grabbed him up joyfully, and 
efore he left paid a year’s tuition for Peck in 
dvance.”—St. Louis Republic.

My Life As Ai\ Indian 
All That the Title Implies and More 
Probably the most faithful picture of Indian 
life ever drawn from the pen of a man who 
spent years among the Blackfeet, marrying into 
the tribe and becoming to all practical intents 
an Indian. 
Mr. Schultz tells of the life of the plains In¬ 
dian, when war and hunting were the occupations 
of every man, when the buffalo still covered the 
prairie, and the Indian was as yet little touched 
by contact with civilization. Pie describes as one 
who has lived the life, the daily routine of the 
great camp, the lives of the men and women, 
the gambling, the quarreling, the love making, 
the wars, the trading of the Indians. 
The narrative is full of intense human in¬ 
terest, and the requisite touch of romance is 
supplied in the character of Nat-ah-ki, the beau¬ 
tiful Indian girl, who became the author’s wife.
