MARYLAND SNAKE STALKING.
PerilOus SprinEtime Sport INDUCED
In by Men Of Anne Arundel County.

PerilOus SprinEtime Sport INDUCED
in BY Men of Anne Arundel County.
''They have a novel and exciting spring
sport down in Anne Arundel county, Nd"
said a man from Baltimore to a writer for
the New York Sun. 1T Is snake shooting
Long. long ago the native sportsmen down
there discovered that in the spring of the
year black snakes, garter snakes and moe
casins-and Anne Arundel county seems to
have a good many hundred Of these to the
acre-are engaged in their little lovemaking
affairs. They hover together in dry spots,
and make 80 much noise with their kissing
and wriggling that it is no trouble to stalk
them from long distance away.
"At the season named they are not only
bold and fearless. but they will not hesi-
tate to attack an intruder on their trysting
places. The moccasin snake looks dull and
rusty on land but his back lights up into
beautiful Kaleidoscope markings when In the
water. The moccasin Is the easiest snake
to kill, they say. When the warm spring
sun showers its rays down on the pools In
which the moccasin lives and finds his prey
he comes to the surface and hangs on to a
jutting bush or weed, or crawls out on the
banks and lies stretched on the grass or
sand. He Is shy and will run quickly at on
approach, except at mating time and then
he will show you pretty fight. And you
hadn't better let him bite YOU. His bite
may not kill you. but it would be better
II a whole nest Of hornets rested on you
and enjoyed themselves than one little
water moccasin should touch you with his
fangs.
But his cousin, the cottonmouth, or
stumptail moccasin. will bring your last
will and testament into service nearly
surer than the cholera or yellow fever. His
poison tooth is as deadly as the rattle
snake ,s and when he hears you coming he
won't run away or warn you like the rat
tlesnake, but will lie still and walt for you
and plug venom into you II he can. There
Is considerable vim In stalking a stump
tail moccasn when he Is absorbed in his
lovemaking and you want to make sure OF
your shots when you draw bead on him.
THE proper and sportsmanlike way Of
hunting snakes in Anne Arundel county IL
to shoot them with a small rife. and the
sportman who doesn't bag his game by
shooting 1t In the head isn't look ed up TO
much. The man who would go out after
snakes with a shotgun down there would
lose caste Immediately. and be sadly talked
about. The favorite rife is one OF twenty
two caliber, and twenty yards range is :he
least an expert snake stalker asks. A moe
casin head can be plainly seen at that Gis-
lance. and many shot among the sEake
hunters doesn't brag any II he doesn't
knock eight heads of out of ten at that
distance"

THE LETTER or THE LAW.
The Rules of Decorum Abused With
Authority by oxford students.

From Harper's Monthly.
That qaick-witted sense of the ludicroua

ties was evidenced not long ago in the case
of a certain George D. at Oxford D.

Hyde. whose diabolical tendencies fire.
quently got him into disgrace. Was there
trouble with the townsmen the night be-
fore, IL was D. who was first Questioned
by the dean. Was there some UNIQUE bit Of
deviltry played on a first year man. II Was
upon D. that the faculty's eye Of sus-
picion was turned.
He was. as usual. ION the ragged edge OF
suspicion" when one Sunday morning. at
church time. in his third year. he was de-
serted by the dean sitting at the open win
dow Of his quadrangle room In his shirt
sleeves. calmly smoking long Dutch pipe
and drinking beer. The dean was on his
way TO church. and the cool public irrev-
erence of the man shocked him. The next
morning he summoned D. TO his study.
Sir" said the dean, your irreyerence =
disgraceful. What do You mean by this
public disrespect for the Lords day.
Il was not aware that drinking beer and
smoking a pipe was wicked" said D..
1t is sir" Numbered the dean, ''and IL
ever see you I'm your shirt sleeves drinking

D. bowed his head respectfully ana
went out. The following Sunday the dean
took particular pains to be a trifie late for
church and TO pass by young D-'s WIN
dow. What was his amazement TO discover
that worthy lolling on his window couch
smoking and drinking. He was furious.
Such impudent defiance Of his orders! He
would eNpel him then and there. But as he
approached nearer his anger changed into
wonderment: and then. as he quickly walk.
ed by, his sense of humor brought a smile
to his face. The letter Of the law had been
obeyed Young D. was faultlessly ar.

Father Dueey's Popularity.

From the New York Sun.
Father Ducey. or. as he IL now more gen.
orally called. Monsignor Ducey. is a unique
figure in New York. He Is a man Of me-
dunn stature. affable manners, and well de-
fined ideas. His theories about his calling
and the way he should conduct himself are
decided, and nothing ever moves him from
his position or habits OF life. 1t is certain
that no priest In New York has such an ex-
tended acquaintance among people OF prom
inence In the surface life of the town.
Through the entire Broadway district up-
town Father Ducey's face is familiar and
he is greeted cordially by men who. IL is
certain, are not religious enthusiasts in any
sense Of the word. He eats luncheon every
day at some prominent restaurant and
cines at night at Delmonico's or at the
Brunswick. AZ a rule he is accompanied
by one Of his wealthy Pensioners. but IL
he Is not. he walks about from table to
table to chat for a moment with his ac-
Quaintances. His popularity is very great
in the district where he is in charge and
where he has 80 long resided.
