A CHAMPION HUNTER.
Ii Was Better for Ducks Than the Best
Retriever.

A week or two since l happened to
be at Noyac, which is on the Little
Peconic Bay, and dropped in on some
old friends, who kindly invited me to
remain for the kind of old fashion first
class dinner peculiar to this dear old
out of the way place.
II notice, Sam, that the wild ducks
are pretty plentiful already" l said
after l had seated myself.
do you call them thickp" replied
Sam with smile. "Why, there are
not enough yet to make it worth while
going out. There are just enough for
sportsmen who like to knock around
for their health all day. But down
here we don't notice them until we can
gather them in baskets"
How in the world do you manage
that"
WELL" replied Sam, who is the
champion duck hunter of Noyac, that
can only be done when the ducks are
very thick. l have seen them so thick
that they were standing on the shore
three deep in layers. When they are
as thick as this, we 60 out at night and
fire a gun off, and then the ducks get
panic stricken and fly in every zigzag
way you can think of. Of course they
bunk into each other and lots of them
fall to the ground dead. Then we send
the boy out early in the morning with
a basket, and he gathers them like
mushroom"
l saw the champion hunter was on
his favorite subject, 80 said nothing
to turn his thoughts into a different
channal.
But the hunting is not what it used
to be when I was boy," resumed the
gunner as he stroked his mustache and
smiled in childish glee, ''for l go back
before breechloaders. Why, at one
time the rabbits were so thick around
here that they would come into the
kitchen md fall asleep in the rocking
chair. You never saw such tame rab.
bits. They would 60 into the hennery,
and the little chickens would crawl
under them to get warm. Why, they
were so tame that have often stepped
on them in the dark when going out
for pail of water. But III never for
get poor old j. Henry Caesar"
who was he?" asked.
my trained swapping turtle. I had
him trained to catch wild ducks when
didn't feel well enough to go out"
'How in the world did the turtle ever
catch the ducks?" l asked, sorely puz-
zled at so absurd thing.
why, very simply" replied Sam,
with a smile of pleasure at my puzzled
air. II simply took old j. Henry
Caesar down to the bay and shouted
'Ducks!' just as you shout 'Rats!' to a
dog, and j. Henry would get under
water and keep still. Pretty soon
wild duck would come along sit peace.
1ul and quietlike on the water, and
while it was looking around enjoying
itself j. Henry Caesar would rise, with,
out making any fuss or noise, and grab
that duck by the leg and haul it under
till it was drowned, and then fetch it
up to the house just like a retriever"
Just then Sam excused himself to tell
a book agent that he didn't want any
thing, and l finished my dinner in
peace. r. X. MUNKITRICK.

WAR NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Corcan OmcIaIs Believe Japan VIII
Ivy to Take Pekin.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-The only tel
cRram of public interest received at the
Japanese Legation to-day related to the
request made by the japanese Govern
ment concerning the protection asked for
Japanese interests in Pekin, at the
hands OF the American Charge there.
An answer to previous telegram Civ
ing the Information desired by the Jap
anese Government. had been sent al
ready by Mr.. Miyaoka, the Charge here,
but evidently had been delayed in trans
mission.
The Corean Legation is still without
any Information from the home Gov
eminent concerning the condition OF af-
fairs in Corea, Notwithstanding the fact
that kilograms have recently been re-
ceive1 through other agencies from
Seoul.
Much regret IL expressed by the Co
rean officials that was should occur on
Corean territory, as II will result In
great hardship to an already poor peo-
pie. The presence OF a very large army
In the country Is said by the coreans to
be very serious AFFAIR.
Most OF the natives are agricultural
lists. and the presence Of armies viii
have the effect of divertng them from
their labors. and result In large loss
to the crops.
II is considered doubtful. however,
whether Japan will make corea the
battle-ground for the war already de-
clared, and the belief IL expressed that
she will make n formidable attempt to
capture Pekin and overthrow the exist
ing dynasty.

peared at the ONCE OF the British Con-

new charge against the men, Maloney,
Stack and Phillips. 1t was not
charge of mutiny this time. but of
theft.
He told Acting Consul Fraser that
the men stole the ships provisions and
sold the bread to junk man.
DO you mean TO tell me that these
men stole the ships provisions and sold
them sn,nn,1 for Junk" said Mr., Fraser, You
Every word l says is true" replied
Did they break open the store-room
or any other place to get the food?"

the men that they stole" replied the
captain.

you an old coat and you sell ii. that /
could charge you with theft That
; cha wont hold ! VIII inysstisate

Inc SdptdlH excitement was great
at this point. and he plainly intima ted
that the men would want to take com

have them arrested The Consul ex-
planned that the law was very clear.
That no evidence had been placed be-
fore him to show that the men had con-
spired TO take possession OF the ship.
All that had been shown was that they
had refused TO work on the ground that
tfey were sick from lack of proper food
and for refusing to work they were
only liable to a fine.
