FOOLISH SEA euLLs.


They Are Easily Deceived and Shot by
the Louisiana Boys.
With the breaking up of q hard win
ter the gull packs up his things and
leaves for a more frigid cline. He can
not stand the balmy4breezss and warm
sunshine. His system Graves billiards
and cold drilling rain, and ills yearn-
ing in this direction is SO strong that
even the tempting dainties on the gar
bage scow dc not tempt him to stay.
It's . common sight every afternoon
during the winter to see hundreds OF
the graceful birds flying and screaming
along in the wake Of the deeply laden
scow. Now the scow moves on alone
to the dumping ground on the other
side Of the bay. With the return OF
cold weather the gull comes back to
another season OF wet and garbage At
present tho Tacoma gull is sojourning
In the region Of the struts, where cold
winds blow. Should The weather grow
too warm u moves oil further North
and waits Tor a drop. h lie ltempera-

There mny be four pr tlye hundred OBJ
jects bunched 81 hi sight of each other,
but the gull can only count one. II
there are twenty gulls flying In flock
each bird thinks he Is the only one
there, according TO the gull method OF
calculation. An old sea captain who
has made u study Of deep water birds
and their habits Is authority for the
statement that the gulFs knowledge of
arithmetic Is limited to sons solitary
figure, %
When was q youngsteS'' said the
captain, II lived on the Atlantic coast,
where gals are more numerous than
here They gathered on the beach by
the thousand, where we used to shoot
them for sport. In order to get within
gunshot we would build a blind or am
bush Eight or ten boys would arm
themselvesw with double barreled guns
and march along ia plain, view Of the
birds, Which would settle Mt distance
to watch our movements
Before going into the blind we
would scatter quantity OF feed within
gunshot Of the ambush and then wait
for the victims. Then when the beach
was thickly dotted with them we would
give a broadside, each gunner letting
go both barrels ThesurYisors flew of
short distance, but as soon as one of
our number had gone out, gathered up
the dead and moved off In the opposite
direction from the blind the other gulls
returned. They had seen the whole
crowd Of gunners enter the blind, but
1t was only one man to them. He was
seen to leave the place and carefully
counted by the g,llls, who were then
satisfied that all danger was passed
Then we would give them another
round, after which one more gunner
would leave. and SO on until the am
bush5wa vacated II was mean ad-
vantage to take ofan uneducated bird,
but then we had TO have some excite
ment, New Orleans Times Democrat.

A man did woo a maiden fair, With lovely eyes and golden hair; He swore to her he would be true, For her there was nothing he would not do.
