Baby Got 1t.

It was with what they call languid
grace that she took seat in a Twenty
third street car yesterday, and there was
some more languid grace about the way
she took up room enough for two and be-
gan eating chocolates out of half

and two men who sat opposite seemed to
give it much attention.

'Bleached," replied the other.

81 know it's bleached."
The nearest person on her right was a
working woman with baby nine or ten
months old. The woman kept rocking the
child on her shoulder and the child kept
reaching out chubby hand to grasp the
bright flowers on the languid girls hat
The odds were even, but baby won.
A rock with little extra vigor to it en-
abled him to grasp flower, and as he was
carried back the hat went with him. Not
only that, but mass of golden hair as
well, showing a close cropped head of dark
hair which had been artfully concealed.
"A wig, by thunderl'' exclaimed both
men in chorus as they rose up and rushed
out, but it was doubtful if the languid girl
heard them. She grabbed her hat in one
hand and her hair in the other and fed out
of the front door and ran into store, and
the conductor explained to a man on the
platform:

may often kill dozen birds with one

The skill and the real pleasure of the
sport, however, is in the shooting of sin
gle birds. Their fight is very swift,
and though not as erratic as that of some
others, it is different indeed from that of
the most of the field and wood birds.
The latter are apt to fly straight, no
matter how swiftly, but the flight of

curves, upward. downward and to either

instant did so, the flock divided, one
half going past me on either side, and
one shell was wasted. II was the rare
experience of missing because the mark
was too near.
1t is not many years ago that snipe-
at least the coast varieties-were only to
be found on the coast. Now they say
they shoot the very same kinds as far
west as Salt Lake. 1t seems q most re-
markable instance of a change of habit.
The confusion of game laws makes it
almost impossible for a gunner to know
what he may or may not shoot in his
own state, and utterly impossible for an
average man to remember all the con-
flcting statutes in different states. It
is therefore out of the question TO talk
Of open seasons with any degree of ac-
curacy. All that may be said is that
the season is almost at hand for almost
al game or is now open.
Shooting over a dog is the ideal Of
most American bird hunters, and there
is nothing to urge against the idea pro-
vided the dog is all he should be-in
other words, if he understands his busi-
ness thoroughly and knows the man who
is behind him. For the man who has
such dog and good gun, good aim

Things a Prince Has to Know.

1t takes considerable study to qualify an
heir apparent for the position of ruler of
Russia. In a recent conversation with an
American Official, the czarowitch spoke of
the long years of preparation, the many
studies, the necessity Of acquiring not
only several foreign languages, but also
of becoming more or less acquainted with
the numerous dialects of his own people.
He has TO know something of the habits
and aims of the rowing Tartars on the
steppes of Asia ard of the quiet Firms of
the north. Since he became sixteen years
of age he has regularly attended the ses-
sions of the council of state. He has
learned how TO command an army and has
familiarized himself with the proper evo-
lutions of a naval squadron. He assured
the American auditor that the pathway of
a future Russian car was by no means
strewn with roses.

probably Labrador-and whole colonies
of them come down the coast in July and
August. so young and foolish that if it
were not for the few old birds that stay
with them as guides, and probably as
mentors, they would fall an easier prey
than they do to the snipe shooter. Great
yellow legs, larger than a pigeon, little
hawks eyes, small as a wren, dozens of
varieties between; all toothsome, all fair
game for the sportsman.
Of all bird shooting it seems to me
that snipe shooting is the pleasantest
There is the least of fatigue, the least of
exposure about it, and to a lazy man
who has still the passion of sport it is
very delicious to lie in wait for prey and
shoot it without labor. Not for the love
of destroying life. as sentimentalists de-
clare by way of denouncing us, but for
the development and exercise of skill,

snipe. Half an hour before dawn is the
time to start. The athletic sportsman
who sneered just now when spoke of
lying in wait for game will have plenty
of exercise if he lives, as do, two or
three miles away from the best ponds

GRAFTON ago laughed at the idea of the

And it is to be said in all fairness
that the true sportsman is not to be
blamed for it all. If sportsmen were
twice as numerous, it may fairly be
doubted if they would exterminate a
single desirable species. Unfortunately
for the sportsman the pothunters kill
scores where they kill single birds, and
the pothunters, shooting or trapping for
the markets and eager for the high
prices of the early season, break the
game laws fifty times willfully where
the sportsman may violate them once in
ignorance.
There is another kind of shooting, al
most as distinct from what we have been
considering as is the shooting of ''big
game" When the ducks come from the
north the sportsman has use for entirely
different tactics. He also has use for a
vigorous constitution and for hearty
contempt of hardship. For the young
man, however, who has not yet come to
love his comfort and ease too much, duck
shooting is perhaps the most exhilarat-
ing of all bird hunting. And with de-
cent luck the temptation to excessive
slaughter is very great. 1t may be, how
ever, as is claimed, that there is far less
danger of exterminating the migratory
coast birds than the field birds. Coming
as they do from their breeding places,
down along the shore in countless focks,
they escape the hunter by flying on, while
the field birds only go from the range of
one gun into that of another.
Aside from the question of game pres
ervation, which seems to be one that
has only been solved by people who
have class legislation, there is open for
consideration the greater question of
field sports and their availability for the
general public. Sport people will have
in one shape or another, and sport in
some shapes has proven disastrous to
goodly percentage Of American youth.
1t seems to be sensible suggestion right
now that the young man who desires
