is that the president appointed men not fa-

in one case not even favored by tho repre-

TO KILL A cANvAs-BACK.
The Only Proper Way Is to shoot Hin

The Only Proper Way Is to shoot Him
the Wing.
'.fhe only proper way to kill canvas
back ducks is Ia shoot them on the wing
as they fly over you. II You are "a muif
gon will have lots of sport, and YOU will
not hurt the ducks. You will blaze
away at them as they fly toward you.
which Ii precisely what !. as love of
the species, would best like you to do
unless you are generous and are dis.
posed to divide your bag. so long as
you shoot them in this way only a rare
accident will enable you TO dc any harm
10 the beautiful creatures. They wear
a breastplate of feathers which is prac-
tically impervious to shot. II you are
sportsman you will let them fly over
you. and shoot them as they recede.
The fact that the ducks fly high and
are very swift of wing renders il diff
cult to kill them ON the wing at all. and
as very few men are really good shots
resort II had by the majority to such
blind shooting as is permitted. hat
teries are. of course. forbidden,
and 50 are sneak.boSes and
the like. Hut IL Is permitted
TO the half-skilled sporismnn to build
blinds of reeds along the shore and 10
shoot from behind them when the ducks
approach within range. In this sort of
shouting very little harm would he done
but for the fact that the eanyas-back is
heset with curiosity surpassing that of
women.
II he sees ans thing In motion ON the
shore which he does not understand. no
consideration Of prudence will restrain
him from padding at once toward it,
regardless of all danger, and the duck
shooters take advantage of this by
training little dogs to run about in
frisky, absurd fashion In front of the
blinds when ducks are In sight As
soon as the ducks see what Is going ON
the whole flock makes for the shore, and
the sportsmen can shoot at what range
they will."-foresi and Stream

the building and containing several ROVE
Of benches, each one being much higher
than the preceding one. The massive
pulpit, the customary church organ. ths
handsome windows OF cathedral glass

evident that the female portion OF
Friends congregation do not come Ia
gether to exhibit any new style OF head

after which they resume their seats. 4
table is then brought in and placed he
