Tho Party In Prowers County.

The vote OF Tuesday shows us to be the
banner Republican county Of the valley,
and among the very strongest consider
ing our numbers in the State. With a
vote Of only 45O, We gave the State ticket
majorities ranging from 80 to 81. Our
party prospects were never brighter. The
Democracy made desperate fight for
party supremacy in this county, we'll
knowing that il beaten, they were hope
lessly lost. II strong nominations are
made next fall, with all portions Of the
county fairly represented, there will be
no fight, and we will win with hands
down Then faithfullness to public trusts
and rigid economy in all county affairs
will insure us party supremacy for years
to come. Tuesday was red letter day
to the Republicans OF Prowers county.

An or Yoar,

The Republicans carried Colorado last
Tuesday, electing everything but Treas
urer and Superintendent, the Legislature
is safe and Teller will succeed himself.
The Democrats and Farmers Alliance
held an election in the balance OF the
country. The Democratic party will now
have larger majority in Congress than
at any tinao since the war. The result is
somewhat discouraging but not disas-
trous, as it will serve to unto all the fac
tions. In 1892 the old party will pull
together again, present an unbroken front
to the enemy and march on to victory.
This was indeed an of year-way of.

Our Poet Larlat.

Our poet lariat' became so enthuset
over the election that he reeled of tht
following poem which while not exactly
correct in meter, is away up in sentiment
1t gets there with SO many feet that il
spoils the music, but it will raise how
just the same:
There was young man named Cash,
Who thought he'd play merry smash,
But he fell in the soup
And gave last whoop,
And covered poor Watson with splash
There was red headed cashier,
Who at politics thought he'd no peer;
He bolted in hun
And blew in his stuff,
And now there's no more CASHMERE.
Our Democratic Commissioner had a
brother,
Whose mouth he was unable to smother
A letter he wrote
Too dirty to quote,
And that's what beat his own brother.
There was a young justice named Hines,
Who had more gall than he had dimes;
He tried to dictate
But fell in the plate,
And the soup is all over young Hines.
There was an old man named Snowden,
Who to decency has always foe been,
A commissioner he had
Who was beat very bad,
And now this old man is showed in.
There is small paper called Sparks,
Which at the ring continually barks;
The county printing loss
Made its editor cross,
And soon there will be no moro Sparks.
There is an clubhouse that is branded,
'Ginst its cold sides Democracy stranded;
1t is comfortable in billiards
And keeps out the Lizards,
And its owner as Commissioner is landed.
There was teacher in Holly township,
Who had less brains than he had lip;
He wanted to be boss,
But to his great loss,
He found he had lost all his grip.
There was a gay captain called Billow,
Who of the G. A. R always will blow;
He made great fight
For Priddy and right,
And now We all honor Cap. Billow.
There was gay sheriff named McCurry,
Who to play Might've was in hurry;
He wanted to see Ford,
But when Democracy was gored,
Why, that was the last seen of McCurry.

lcoPYRIGHT, 1901

The dawn of the first of September is
always greeted with rafting volley OF
shotguns in all parts Of rural New York.
The partridge can no longer skulk about
under the protection OF law, and he finds
1t necessary to keep his eye peeled or
down goes his shanty.
Nevertheless the first always finds
plenty of sportsmen waiting for its arriv-
al and anticipating day in, the woods
with their dogs. In some parts of the
State very good shooting can be had.
But mark you it means work and the
hardest kind of work too. One secures
his partridge in the same manner as the
honest farmer whose ground he hunts
upon earns his broadly the sweat of
his brow.
Tho country is mountainous and the
path OF the hunter strewn with thorns
In other words it is filled and canopicd
with thorns and Eriars. and under foot
with jagged rocks and stump3. For n

TO hunt over this ground, as every bird

satisfaction of seeing my dogs make
false points and of hearing birds get out
of trees usually behind me- A short
walk brought me to another cover which
was noted partridge retreat for this
season of the year, there being plenty OF
berries for the birds To feed on. 1t was

than it looked. After having succeeded

They we're apparently out of hearing rs

them.
l began getting pretty we'll out of

Fan was in an easier position. One

slightly parted, through which could be
seen the cleaning faHgs and slowly
dropping saliva.

She saw Zap. Slowly her tail raised to
the level of her back and one front foot
left the ground, making as pretty back
as ever saw. Meantime, mind you, She
had live bird fluttering in her mouth
struggling to get away. A greater proof
of intelligence could not well be imag-
ined. Reaching down 1 stroked her
with my hand. She acknowledged the
caress by a barely perceptible wag of
the tail, but her eyes never for o mo-
mont left Fans form. A few steps for
ward brought me alongside Fan and
with whir-r-r-r up got bird which
was fortunate enough to kill. At the
command ''fetch" Fan went out to re-
trieve it, and Lady Bel gave up the
winged one she had held 80 long, which
1 killed, not by wringing its neck or
humping it against tree, but in
more humane way-by breaking it's neck
between my teeth.
The last bird fired at which Fan soon
brought in turned out to be a very fine
old cock. The signs CT an old bird are
dark orange mark over the eyes; they
also have much thicker skull than the
young ones.

Ono rule that should he closely adj
hcrcd to in this sport is, to 0i3cGys shoot.
1T makes no difference if YOU sec a

chances arc about nine ont of ten against
you. The ACCESSIBILITY of this habit

himself for a few feet only. There is
not then n moments hesitation rs to

is instantly covered and after some prac-
tice often killed, although the chance
seems Il slim one.
In regard to gun and shells the best

Der ten shot. Three wads should he mt

Shot. shells for the other barrel should
have three brahms of best black powder
and one ounce number eight shot. For
later shooting when the birds arc wilder.
tougher, and better protected with
feathers use number seven and number
five shot.
In the choice of dogs for partridge
shooting select a setter. His long thick
hair Will prove Invaluable as a protec-
ton against the briars Whereas a
pointer will get foot-sore after a davis
hunt, and will also refuse to enter briar
patches that a setter will come out of
unscratchcd.
For pleasant days shoot mans
log should be well under control. and to
ensure this they must be worked for at
least week in advance of the shootinr
season. Otherwise they will be head
strong and rank, and will flush, although.
perhaps, unintentio nally, about as MANY
birds as they stand. j. w. j.
