death through the presence of mind
of Pocahontas. Smith had long
whiskers and blonde pompadour,
which were novelties in Virginia at

Hurriedly approaching the spot
where Smith was about to be pulver-

RAIL SHOOTING.
Sport That 10 Very Rapidly APP
preaching Extinction.

Sport That 10 Very Rapidly APP
preaching Extinction.
Now. according to the seasons and
the signs we would all be going rail
shooting. The nights are growing
cooler; the corn grass, or wild rice, is
heading out; the woods along the
marshes are showing the red and yell
low tints of autumn; golden rod and
aster brighten the roadsides, and car
dinal flowers flame in the edge OF tho
marshes.
Over the water and along the dis
tant hill-sides hangs, morning and
evening, the light haze of early au-
tumn. Along the shore may be heard
the mellow whistle of the beach-bird,
and from the little pond holes in the
wet meadows we may now and then
start black duck or two or O little
bunch OF buewinged teal, says q corr
respondent of Forest and Stream.
The time is at hand. The rail should
be here. For the last three or four
years, however, there have been no
birds. On grounds where it was form
erly no unusual thing to kill ninety
rail in tide, the gunner may now
count himself fortunate If he secures
one fourth that number. The season
opens early and all the birds bred on
those marshes which are most acces.
sible are shot long before any flight
birds arrive. When the flight birds
arrive they are killed as soon as they
reach the ground and so there is no
good shooting.
The determination of the rail may
we'll be viewed with alarm by gunners.
There is perhaps no kind of shooting
which affords greater attraction or
variety than this ut so slight cost
in the shape OF effort and it is sad to
see the sport diminishing year by
year merely because it is overdone.
What remedy-if any-can be sug-
gested which will appeal to shooters
generally, it is hard to say.
One thing, however, is certain, that
nothing would be easier than to pro-
tect the grounds where rail are shot.
And il general close time extending
over several years should be agreed
on by q number OF adjacent states
and enforced during the month OF
September we might after a few years
see something like the old-fashioned
fights and the "boats" OF twenty
years ago.
But this state OF things is not likely
to come about. We are most OF us
too anxious to get the last bird that
flies. too much afraid that if we do
not kill it some one else WILL There
is too much human nature and too
little public spirit in each one OF us.
II it were not so game would be more
plenty everywhere.
1t is to be feared that at the close oil
the present rail season it will be found
that the marshes have again been
bare and that the youngsters of TO-
day can shoot rail by getting their
fathers and their uncles to tell then
OF the good old days OF twenty years
ago.
