Show Good Marksmen. A Yankee entered a hotel in the Highlands when he overheard a party of gentlemen speaking about shoot lag. "Gentlemen." he said, "I guess I have seen some good shooting In my time. 1 have seen a fly killed on a flagpole at 300 yards." An Irishman, who was one of the party, said: "Hegorra, It's purty good, liut I believe I've seen better. When I was in the army the major used to roll an empty beer barrel down the hill j and every time the bunghole turned , up we put a bullet In. Any man who I couldn't do It was dismissed. I was In that corps for fifteen years and never nev-er aaw a man dismissed." |
