minds me Of little fun had some four or five
years ago.
Three OF us, more or less sportsmen and all
Jolly fellows, were stopping at a small place on
the eastern shore of Lake ST. Clair. II was in
November and the ducks were pretty thick
We did some great shooting, can tell you
"one day the landlord announced that a
nephew OF his, young man Just over from
England. was coming up for few weeks sport
and he guessed we'd find him pretty near q
dandy on the shoot.
well, pretty soon the young fellow arrived.
and our first glimpse of him decided every
thing. The boys said they didn't believe he
had ever seen a wild duck, much less shot one.
HE was one of your swell hunters. all logged

one OF those patent reversible fore-and-aft caps
and pair of eyeglasses astride his nose He
showed us his gun, a double-barreled pistol
grip thing. and blowed pile on it's fine quail
ties and at the wonderful execution he could do
with IT. 1T came from England. We know
would he go after ducks with us in the
morning? oh. yaas, he fancied' he would.
though 1t wouldn't be much SPORT he was ac-
customed to shooting woodcock, and ducks few
so beastly slow.
that night We picked out some OF our Oldest
decoys and anchored them out in a bayou a
short distance from shore, then turned in for
the night.
"0ur friend was up bright and early next
morning and was anxious to show his skill We
made some excuse about not being quite ready,
but told him that if he would 80 over 10 yonder
bayou he might get a shot before breakfast. he
put off with much splashing of paddles and
great show OF caution and was soon out of sight
in the reeds. Allowing him time to reach our
decoys, We followed aud soon heard the sharp
bang. bang, of his gun. Before We could reach
him we heard another double report. Explod-
ing with laughter at our success we hastened to
the spot"
''Did he fill the decoys with lead?''
NO. Say. be had bagged four as pretty can
vas-backs as you ever saw"

He Had I.434 handkerchief

very strange case was recently heard in a
Vienna police court. A monomaniac, who was
formerly a well-to-do baker. had ruined himself
by mania for collecting handkerchiefs.
At the commencement OF the pursuit Of this
singular hobby ne used to pay as much as GA
or Is for n coveted mouchoir. His devotion
to this fad brought him to poverty. He then
fell to stealing.
At length he was apprehended, and on search
being made by the police in his apartments a
collection of 1.434 of these articles was found,
all classified according to the special perfumes
with which they had been scented.
The magistrate ordered the unfortunate man
to be taken to lunatic asylum.
