The Sacramento Bee says: "Where can
poor man hunt around the Bay of San
Francisco? There is not an inch OF marsh
land that is not leased by some swell gun
club, etc."
The statement is not correct. The Sat
urday evening trains take from San Fran
cisco no less than ten carloads Of hunters
TO various sections of the nearby marshes
and hills. The majority of these sports
men do not shoot on any preserve.
Any sportsman that is content with a
mess for himself and friends can find
plenty of places to secure it.
On the Sonoma marsh there are many
places. sherman Island is, in its season,
one Of the best duck grounds in this sec
ton of California. Mr.. Rentee is always
on hand with every accommodation Tor
visiting sportsmen. Ellis Landing is a
very popular nearby resort, boats can be
secured there at all times. At Suisun.
brentwood and Byron there is good
public shooting ground. On the mar
roW-gauge line Newark, Mount Eden,
Alvarado, Mowry's Alviso Bridges and
Aiviso provide thousands of acres ofpub-
lie shooting ground. The south coast

would have sold in New York for from
$500 to LOCO were almost given away.

mails to be taken away, as he would not
sell them for the prices offered. Horses
that should have brought an opening bid
of at least $500 were started at $50, and
Mr.. Haggin expressed deep disgust at the
apathy of the bidders. One reason. it is
said, Tor the dullness was that the sale

WBBSTERS FAMILY WAGON.
Changes of Fortune that Have Com
20 the Old Vehicle.


10 the Old Vehicle.
Daniel Webster's old yellow wagon now
stands in a dreary spot on Pettis Plain in
Greenfield. ii ii could speak it could tel
an interesting story. Once the family
wagon OF the great statesman, then to be
finally sold Tor bull terrier and allowed
to stand on dreary plain, filled with
snow IN winter and to be used as the
roosting place of turkeys, tells III a sim
gle sentence some of the mutations of
fortune that have come TO the old car
riage.
1t was made for Daniel Webster some-
where in New Hampshire, about 1928 or
1880. 1t was taken to Marshfield when
| the great statesman was at the zenith of
power and reputation. 1t was frequently
used by Mr.. Webster and members OF his
family. 1t was then that the name of
yellow wagon" was given it, supposedly
| because it was painted yellow. ears
alter MIR. NeUSter'S death it was found
stored away on some beams in an old
shed. 1t was sold to William Houghton
of HOughton's Express. He had the
wagon put in order and used it.
Something like dozen years ago there
was craze for old wagons in Franklin
County, and the Webster wagon was pur-
chased by George L. {. Holden, now of
Hudson, well-knoWn as a landlo ord, and
who was then residing in Greenfield. The
OIu wagon was Illaut 10 LOOK as we'll AS
possible, and it excited much interest. 1t
was used by MIR. Holden for pleasure
driving, and was shown at various times
when collections OF antiquities were ex-
hibted.
In time Mr.. Holden disposed of his
livery business to Thomas Minis, now of
Athol, and the old wagon went with the
remainder Of the stock. Mir. Minis had
no use for the old wagon, and traded it
one day TO Henry S. Wood, receiving in
return bull-terrier dog. The dog was
named Daniel Webster, and is still alive
and owned by the Minis family in Green
field. Mr.. Wood used the old wagon un-
til he tired of il, and then allowed il to
stand out of doors on Pettis plain. 1t
now has for company several broken
down carriages, and the turkeys that
roam over the plain use it as a roosting-
| place at night.
one or two boards are missing from the
bottom OF the body, but otherwise than
this II is capable Of rendering excellent
service for many years to come. The
aXies are entirely of wood, and all the
Iron-work is hand made. The springs
are OF wood, and are attached TO the BODY
by leather straps. The other day the old
wagon was shown at the fieid-day exer-
cises OF the Pocomtuck Valley Memorial
Association, and was given the post of
honor.-Boston Globe.

NATIONAL DEBT.
Los Angeles Times.I

At the rate at which the national debt
is increasing under Democratic manage
ment, il Will be larger at the close of
Cleveland's Administration than it was
at the beginning of the Harrison Admin
istration. The decrease during the four
years OF Republican management was
about S259, 900. Already under Cleve-
land the bonded debt has increased $780,
100000, although Cleveland has occupied
the executive chair less than two years
There Is no present prospect that the Ad-
ministration will be able to bring the
revenues up 10 the expenditures, and
thus check the steady increase in OF the
national debt. Unless tins result be ac-
complished i'll some way, another issue of
bonds will be necessary within a few
months. The new tariff, which was eX-
pected by the Administration to bring
about the desired result, has thus tar
