GREAT CROP OF CHIC KENS.

rece was young. necessity drove men to
the hunt as q means of subsistence. In
spite OF centuries of civilization, there
are times when almost every man feels
a keen delight In shouttrring gun,
forsaking the smoky anu densely po pu-
lated cities and going on hunt 10
get away from paved streets, to escape
the dreary routine Of the office or the
whirr OF factory wheels is. in itself. a
relief. All men require change, aud
those who fail to heed ana satisfy their
yearnings too often break down.
The desire 10 go bunting is not con-
fined to any particular class. All feel
1t; all certainly enjoy it. Why? Because
1t is gong back to mans natural way
of living. 1t is instructive.
r. Today, when under the wise prov Is.
ions OF the law i'll restricting men fro IN
warfare on prairie chickens and other
game during certain periods. they are
preserved from eXterminatIon, the ope
shooting season will begin. When
the sun rises. it will find many st.
Paul man far from home on expansive
prairies, gun In hand. 10 these all
hunting grounds will prove "happy
hunting grounds" For DAYS past Burk-
hard and Kennedy Bros. have been busy
loading shells for the hunters, cleaning
up aud putting old guns in order. deily-
ering game bags and getting all other
paraphernalia for the Nlmrods ready.
In many year there has not been
seen a greater act iviey IN this direction
than now. A short time ago the Clio BE
announced that City Ticket Agent
Dutch, OF the Great Northern. in re
spOnse to circular issued by F. /.
Whitney. the general passenger agent,
had received large bundle of replies
from AGENTS along that line. these
were like enchanted fairy tales TO the
sportsmen, for they told OF endless
coyeys OF toothsoms "chix" and ''dux."
Last night the Great Northern carried
out many st. Paul hunters. The pre-
vious night the same was the case. What
is true of the Great Northern is equally
so OF other lines extending north and
northwest through Minnesota and
North Dakota. At almost any point
the hunter is almost sure to '.strike it
rich"
A. E. Chantler, of the Dispatch, left
last night with party OF four or five
for point near Warren, MINI. In this
Town, last spring, a moose suddenly ap-
peared in the streets. 1t is strongly
suspected that Chant" by this time, is
on the cold trail of this moose and may
forget all about chickens aud ducks, in
, Of htry,
DR.. Whitcomb, Che. coroner, has
shouldered his gun, and is now nea
Ada scratching in the tall grasses for
hens. No inquests will be necessary in
any of these cases. With him are Lem
Detiel and Henry Defiel.
Harry W. Wack has given up the
german. kicked off his pateut feathers
and donned pair Of spOrtsman's boots.
He has laid aside his Knox" hat and
assumed cap Of buff leather. He is
n wv in North Dakota with r. w. Math-
ews and son, cunning for chickens.
Last night Crawford Livingston, accom-
panied by party of friends, also left
for North Dakota OH hunt. At Burk-
hard's gun store yesterday 1t was
learned that Frank Funk, Jack Wells
and Lew Jergens had gone to their
private hunting grounds" L. V.
Rodecker. j. P. Brooks and II. G. Law
renee left for Atwater on the same
general errand. Charles Leibrock, Paul
Hauser and Jacob DanZ also went out
last night for Northwestern Minnesota.
A number Of the capitol employees have
gone on similar errand, leaving the
affairs of state to take care OF them
selves.
l.. w. Hill. son of j. j. Hill. has tenn
porarily forSakeu his desk and laid
aside his pen for the guil. He will
spend several weeks along the line of
The Great Northern.
The birds are reported as unusually
thick this year. From the Great
Northern people it was learned that at
Chnrch's Ferry. N. D., a few days
since, one hunter brought down four
ducks at a single shot.
With SO many st. Paul hunters in the
field, game ought to be very cheap in
this neck of the woods during the next
few weeks.
