life which foretell the coming of the
new day. The mournful cry of the
curlew is heard overhead, and a flock
of plover demonstrates their close
proximity by the hurtling noise of
their wings.
FOr some time he sits in q cramped
position, listening to the booming notes
Of a prairie chicken, which bird is
pouring forth Il volume Of drum-like
sounds. The sharp yelp of a coyote
not far away is unmiStakable evidence
that that thriving, skulking animal
has jumped up a cotton trail" and is
husuing for an early breakfast. At
The first peeping Of the gray dawn the
hunter suddenly hears a welcome
Sound-the faint and far-away "honk-
honk Of the goose. He examines his
gun and notes the direcuon of the
sound. Nearer and nearer the sound
comes, and finally he ventures to take
peep out of the pit and diScove rs
the distant outline of a large flock
spread out E-shaped in the morning
Sky, bearing Off to one side. Appar-
emily they have not seen the decoys,
and the hunter thinks 1t Is yet too
dark.
Suddenly the leader is seen to waiver
and with loud cries the flock turns
and circles around the decoys us il
suspicious of their genuineness, but
drawing nearer ut each turn They
have approached within easy shooting
distance, and just us soon as the
flock pitches down among the decoys
the loud bang! bang! Of Il heavily
loaded shotgun is heard, and two puffs
OF smoke are seen coming apparently
from the surface of the earth short
distance away. Several geese are Iy-
, ing on the ground, and one is skim.

GOOSE HUNTING In DAKOTA.
A Rare Sport not Without it's profit
able Siue.

Cleveland (O.) Leader:-Wild- goose
hunting on the plains of the northwest
IS a sport which always has great
charm, even for the experienced MINI
rod. 1t is a sport rcplete with Incl
dent, and a recreation which must
once be INDUCED in to be thoroughly
appreciated. The wild goose is known
in all parts of North America, but III
no section Of the country does The
bird appear in such numbers as in
that territory lying between the Red
river valley and the Missouri river.
There the geese swarm in countless
numbers anu become corpulent on
the grains of mo l hard" which have
been shaken from the stalk by the
reaper and are lying in the stubble
everywhere. Large numbers of the
birds are killed by resident hunters
and for eastern markets, but no APP
parent diminution Is noticeable in the
size and number of the hocks to be
seen when the shooting season begins
each year.
An hours lively sport with the
"honkers" ON The wheat helds OF North
Dakota means but one thing 70 the
Inexperienced hunter, and That Is
something for his pains, especially IL
he happens to get in Il Well-conceaied
stand directly in the line OF light.
1nen it is nothing uncommon for him
to tumble over" a wagon-load OF
geese in very snort order. Wild geese
are a staple commodity in North
Dakota, prices ranging from 81
to So per dozen during the shooting
season. In the little towns and sta
lions along the Northern Paclhc rail-
way, during the fail and spring nights,
almost everybody turns out Tor
few hours in the morning and toward
the close of the day to shoot at the
geese, and a right warm reception are
the birds treated to. Many will ride
to the outskirts Of the town and
shoot from a buggy Or wagon at the
passing myriads overhead, and occa-
sionally bring down a bird at long
range.
The hunter who is out for business.
and is shooting for market and the
money there is in it, drives out ten or
fifteen miles over the prairie several
hours before daylight, and after select
ing a spot where the geese have been
seen in great numbers the day before,
digs a pit in the ground large enough
to conceal himself and arranges the
stubble or grass about the mouth OF 1t
so as to present a natural appearance.
Close by he plants his decoys and
settles back In the pit and anxiously
awaits the coming of the morning.
It is still dark, but from every quarter
of the prairie come sounds of animal

THE JEWS CHARACTERISTIC.
1t Works Great Good in Other Nation
alitieS

From Harper's Magazine: 1 do not
believe in generalization based upon
chronological distinctions, and l deny
that there is any fixed unity of race
among the inhabitants Of the north
west Of Europe, such as the Germans
and the English, and of the Jews
among each other, when considering
amy question or measure of practical
politics. Still, we may recognize theo
retically, if we venture upon bold
generalization, the ideal types Of the
pure Saxon race and the pure Jewish
race in modern life. And in these eX
a9gerated types we may, it is true, dis
cover an almost essential antagOniSm.
The Jew then stands as the repre-
sentative of intellectual and emotional
sensibility. The direct opposite to this
form of Hebraism is not Hellenism,
but the pure Germanism, which rep
resents the more physical aspect Of
the soul, namely, character. The He
brew and the Saxon, in this broadest
form of rough generalization, would
thus represent, the one the intellectual
and emotional side Of man, and the
other the substratum to the working
of this intellect and emotion, that
which remains as a solid basis, the
character. To be perfect each organ
ism must possess the proper balance
of both these elements, and the aD-
normal and diseased form of life are
caused by the undue growth Of the
one at the cost of the other. The
spiritual and intellectual element with
out the SubStratum of Soidifylng char
acter degenerates into subtlety and
thickness, and even coWardice. Char
acter without the infusion Of intellectu-
al and emotional sensibilty produces
stubbornness and brutality. Either OF
these diseases leads to the caricature
of the Jew and of the TeutOn But,
fortunately, normal life, with it's vari-
ETY. and the Misrepresentation of different
influences, has rectified the possibility
of such one-sided developments. The
modern Jew, who has lived in unham-
pered intercourse with the Saxon, has
had this more physical side of his
nature developed, and has had moral
sturdiness infused; in its spiritual re,
tinement his nature has received more
body and substance from it. While
1 maintain. emphatically that the
Saxon, notably the German, has de
rived great benefit from the infusion
Of that subtler, more active, more re
fined, and more sensitive element which
the Jew has brought into the German
communities. 1t is not a mere ma tel
of CHARGE that with Leasing begins
the real German period of enlighten
ment and of literary taste; that he
ard Mendelssohn complemented and
supplemented one another. I venture
to say that it was the infusion Of this
element, inherent in the Jew, Into the
German mind and character which to
great extent accounts for the fafrest
fruits of German culture which the
world has reaped within the last hun
dred years; as the German element
when it did not repress and crush
was needed by the Jew in order to
produce such noble, clever, delicately
and still strongly organized flowers OF
humanity as now grace all the in
tellectual walks of German ife in litera-
