Mr.. YATES AND THE DUCKS.
Old Times in the village Of 1eonardtown

Many years ago, before the days of rail.
roads and when steamboat travel Was but
little known, what was termed country
landlord or country innkeeper was per-
sonage of much note. Generally he was
the most prominent man in the village,
and many little humorous incidents occur
red during his proprietorship, some of which
propose to relate.
In the village of Leonardtown, in st.
Mary's county, situated on an arm of Brit
tain's bay (when was small boy), there
was gentleman who kept the only hotel
in the place whose name was Yates. He
was a man of fine physique, standing six
feet in his stockings and well proportioned.
He was a man iull of humor and wit, and
always liked to indulge in practical jokes.
AT that time the social caste in Maryland
was very different from what it is now.
We then had the old aristocracy composed
of prominent people, such as the Keys,
HAIRLESS, Blakistones, Thomases and 9th.
ers That was an aristocracy of "blue"
blood, of birth and intelligence, very diff.
ferent from the "shoddy" aristocracy of to-
day, which consists Of money without
brains.
But, to come back TO our landlord. The
lanes of those have mentioned were very
fond of engaging in suppers, especially
"duck suppcrs," and Mr. Yates besides be-
ing celebrated as landlord and caterer.
was also noted for his steady marksnaan-
ship as a gunner, and whenever he had to
furnish these suppers he would supply the
means with his gun, and has been known
TO bring down five ducks on the wing out
ola small flock of SIX. His gun was an
old flint musket, but was never known to
fail him in an emergency, and he gave it
the name of "never fail"
On this particular occasion he was EN-.
ployed to get up "duck supper" laying
covers for thirty, which would require,
with other things and trimmings, about
twenty four ducks. In order 10 be ready,
Mr.. Yates began his cunning expedition
about week before tie supper. The ducks
were scarce, and morning and evening he
would take his rounds only to come back
without any game.
There was at the head of this little bay,
perhaps quarterof mile from its source,
a mill belonging 10 Mr.. Key, the most
prominent citizen in the village, and, by
the bye, speaking Of mills it may be neces-
sary 10 state that in the county there were
many little streams upon which these little
over shot mills were worked and run with
very little water power What were known
as mill races or dams were not often seen,
but any mill that was worth a damn"
was supplied with that indispensable re.
quisite, This mill that / speak Of owned
by Mr.. Key was supplied with splendid
dam or race, which consisted Of earth en-
bankments thrown across the stream, which
was furnished with what was called flood.

1t is Chairman Wilson's inten-
ton to reach a vote on the tariff
bill January IL.
Herbert Thomas fired a gun

Sportsmen in the Northern Neck

1t is generally accepted that an
assessment bill will be passed by

sion. 1t is anticipated there will
be good deal of legislation affect

ance Commissioner Rasin is expect
ed to spend considerable portion

Mail advices received from Kros-
che, in Russia, confirm the first re-
ports of the massacre of Catholics

which at least twenty persons were
killed and nearly a hundred wound

one of them holding mans heart
dripping with blood.
4'But the most horrible thing
was yet to-come. Ny eyes bulged
out Of my head, which was as hot
as an oven, and the cold perspira-
tion dripped down all over my body.
Thus they stood for hours, aa it
seemed to me, and then with a
blood-curdling yell they threw the
heart at me. 1t fell by my side.
This made the blood rush to my
head so that / could see nothing
but a red glare Of light, which kept
getting brighter all the time until
it was like the sun. Then it began
to grow dim, and | knew no more.
CONSCIOUSNESS RECLAIMED.
"The next thing that was con.
scious of was setting up in the
same place where had been. The
two apparitions were standing by
the body of the dead man. One OF
them had q skull in his hand, and
it was filled with blood. lie drank
Of it and handed it 10 the other.
who also drank and threw the skull
down.
"After a short time they lifted
1.-THE fat stone to one side and dug q
hole under it. One of the devils
cut the dead man'r head off, and
taking it with him DISAPPEARED. The
other took tho body in his arms,
carried it to the hole laid it in and
put the stone over it. After thai
he DISAPPEARED, and fell asleep.
"When [ awoke it was broad day
light. l went to the stone and
there was no blood on it, nor had
it been moved. Then | looked fol
the skull and found it, but it was
half buried in the dirt and had ey.
identity not been moved for years
| then lifted the fiat stone little
with my crowbar, which ! had
brought with me, and looked un.
der. There was skeleton lying in
the same position that the body
had been laid the night before, and
it had no head. l picked up ths
skull and started to the post, intending t
report it to the commanding officer, bu
when got near the road | remembered
that if l reported it l would be tried to-
absence without leave, so / threw the skull
away and said nothing about ii.
For some time was greatly trouble:
in my mind, as thought what had seer
was perhaps a hallucination of the brain
1t worried me nearly to death.
mot until nearly year afterward did
learn the history of the gold mine. Their
was tradition that a white man haC
worked it OF one time, until he was cap
tured by a couple of Indians. The re,
devils cut his heart out and otherwise mu
tilated his body.

tious, must say that felt better after

some unknown cause in the storage room.

the fire was discovered and were
pushed too closely to save any of their

include the thousands of dollars worth

of these lost large purses Of money. one

TRAVIS COUNTY'S ROADS.
words OF Praise for Their Improvement
Written by United States
Official.
Editor Statesman.

Editor Statesman.
Will you kindly permit me to express
through your columns my appreciation
of the excellent work which has been
done upon the public roads of Travis
county in the last four years, and my con-
gratulations to the public spirited parties,
whoever they may be-, who have changed
the formerly impossible highways into
excellent graded roads.
The agitation for good roads is being
felt throughout the country, and the
United States department of agricul-
ture has established division to en-
courage this work, but in no part of the
country, and L travel widely, have |
found such remarkable and commendable
Improvement in this direction.
During the past few months | have
traversed nearly every highway and by
way. i'll Travis county. While there is
much room for improvement. what has
been done is for the most part excellent.
The results of converting the black mud
bogs into macademized highways is very
perceptble in the increased travel | OBJ
serve towards Austin, and the saving In
wear and tear upon vehicles and teams
must aggregate many thousands of dol
lars to the people, to say nothing of in
creased retail trade of the city.
Upon the map which the United geo
logical survey is making we have en-
deavored to delineate all the roals ac-
curately, and have collected in album
dance the material used in road construc-
ton, and material which should be
used.
With the magnificent dam and this
cOmmendable road-making spirit, who
can justly accuse the citizens of Austin
of Task of public spiritI
Greater things are sure to follow, and
when the beautiful valley of the Colo
RADIO is irrigated, as it will be some day,
when Austin is made the center of a
great porcelain industry, as nature has
given every facility for it to be, and when
the suberb materials for the manufac-
ture of Portland cements are utilized,
the people who have put their faith in
this city will find abundant reward.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT r.. HILL.

The following is clipped from the Chi

tie late it is still so extremely good that

An amusing anecdote is told by the
Washington Capital on the genial ex-
Senator Reagan of Texas. A short time
before he left the senate one of his long
halred, SLOUGH hat constituents, with n
voice like fog horn (which he used free

TO enjoy the marble bath tubs, the silver
splgots, the dainty perfume, the mental
service of the tlunkies. He went sight
seeing with his influential fellw citizen.
put AFTER considerable exertion got away
from him to refresh himself with his ms.
ual luxurious senatorial bath. As he on
tered the bath room he is reported tn
have said to the attendant:
You see that long-haired man going

again as long as Texas is one of the

, The attendant guarded the door with
me fidelity of Cerebus. The long
lalred constituent returned to the Lone
Star state ignorant of the fact that a |

fellow citizens paid for taxes went TO |
