From the Burlington Hdwkeye: She was a
beautiful girl. fair rs the morning handsome
ly arrayed, little gloved hands that you would
even like to have box your ears. Drawn by
the irresistible fascination of his inviting eyes,
she approached the masher, who made room
for her beside him. Her eyes beamcd on HIM
In beauty only equalled by his voice ;her voice
was sweeter than the song of the siren when
she spoke to him, how could she help it?
Sir" she said, and the music OF her voice
thrilled the car. "Sir, Is this seat cngaged!'
He looked up at the vision OF glowing
cheeks and laughing eyes, marble brow and
clustering Curls, and he relented, even the
masher's heart warmed toward the lovely girl,
the latest victim Of his manly charms.
"Oh, certainly not" he said, and his bow
was a study of grace for the steam man. "Oh,
certainly not; you are entirely welcome; |
shall be only too happy" Then" cried the
charming victim, mother you can sit here be
side this gentleman"
And an old woman, seventy-three if she was
day with no teeth and only one eye, small
box, big band box IN a bag, a green reticule,
an umbrella, two paper bags and piece OF
calamus root, tottered into the proilered seat
and sat down and piled her things into the
young mans lap. And the girl, the beautiful
girl went back and sat down beside the pas
seneer with the sandy goatce, who was so bash.
full that he couldn't and didn't say word to
his companion all the way to Newark, and
blushed to his ears every time the fat passon-
ger winked at him.

Hunting Wild Geese with Oxen.

Shooting wild geese was, in the early days
of California, an important industry with
those men who hunted for the market, and
was very attractive to the few amateurs that
INDUCED in the sport In these days goose
shooting was profitable business for the hunt
er, and it was no uncommon thing for skill
full one to make from 800 to $3.50 day, even
when he obtained but four or five double shots.
The system pursued by the market hunters in
shooting the geese was as follows: y doCile
OK was generally selected by the hunter Tor his
attendant Then the geese were sought ON the
large open plans where they fed all through
the day going to water morning and evening.
The hunter marked a flock a half or three
quarters of mile away, and then put his OK
in motion, allowing him to feed ~ he went
along, IN order to make the geese remain UNI
conscious of the lurking figure that moved
behind the oX's body. Old gooSchuntcrs al
firm that these oxen seem to take delight IN
assisting the shooter 10 work up TO his game.
They would approach the geese IN an indirect
way, never going straight towards them, and
apparently feeding IA they went along. IL IL
also asserted that the geese used actually to
know, after being shot at once or twice, the
hunters oxen. AS soon as the hunter got
within shot he discharged both barrels, one At
the geese on the ground and the other as they
lose' oaSS'nS hoih 'hhH !" say S0,''' II,
either rested the gun on the oX's back, or al
lowed him to pass on, and then raked them
with his small cannon. The gun used was
generally iour-bore, and never less than six,
weighing from fourteen to sixteen pounds, and
the charge was from eight to ten drachms of
powder and two to three ounces of shot.
There was at least half dozen engaged in
this business. whose wealth might be compu-
ted at from sac, 900 to $4,000, altogether the
result of goose.hunting.
