fort. 1t is a sport in which the use Of a
dog is imperative. To many the intelligent
working of a well-trained dog is the chief
attraction of the srort, as the numerous
field trials throughout the country every
fall can abundantly testify.
The choice Of dogs lies between the
pointer and the setter, and there are many
things to be said for and against each.
There are many varieties of each to choose
from, but the main thing Is to get one that
is well trained. The writer has seen dogs

Big stories ABOUT Thcm Products

One Of our F street young business men,
who srent the greater part Of the past sum-
mer in the northern portion of New Jersey,
comes back loaded down with scars re-
ceived in battles fought with mos luitoes,
and wondrous tales Of the boring propen-
sity of the pestifercus insects.
For medicinal purposes he kept a pint
bottle of whisky upon the bureau in his
room, and one night on going to his io1g-
ings he found about fifty OF the large sized
mosquitoes staggering around on the bu-
reau, not one of them able to fly. Missing
his whisky flask, he commenced searching,
and finally found 1t standing on the win
Cow SILL Two of the mosquitoes had bored
through the glass from opposite sides. and
IN some way their stingerS had become
clinched together in the center of the hot
tie, and, being unable to extricate them
selves, they had started to fly away with
the whole load, but the closed window had
stopped them. Innumerablc small holes
through the sides Of the bottle accounted
for the befuddled condition of the stagger-
ers on the bureau.

"Oh, yes. I was out walking one Sunday

six inches ahead of its open mouth Sud-

The Imperial Stud of Lsppfzn.

From the Westminster Gazette
The gift of stallion to the Mabaraja of
Jodhpore by the Archduke Franz Ferdinand
of Austria, IN return for the hospitality he
received from that Rajaput Prince during
his recent Indian tour. calls attention to
the Oldest stud in Europe. This is the i'm.
Terial stud of Lippiza, in the Karst coun-
try, about one hours journey from Trieste
1t was founded by the Emperor Ferdinand
in 1880. and the breed, which Is mixture
of Arab and Andalusian blood, has been
kept quite pure ever since
There are at the stud at present eighty
mares and five breeding stations, and about
$50 young horses and geldings. About forty
horses are sent annually to Vienna, where
they are used exclusively in the imperial
stables. One popularity of this braed is
that, as they have been allowed, for genera
tons, to roam over the Karster mountains
unshod, their hoofs and feet have become
50 hard that they do not require to be shod.
They are described as being as handsome as
they are hardy and Intelligent.

FRANKS IN A CABLE. CAR.
Boys Opportunity to Play a Trick
and He Doesn't Aesitatc.


and He Doesn't Aesitatc.
"A fellow needs his sea legs in place
like this" said a gentleman on a cable car
Saturday night, as the sudden starting of
the car seated him rather unceremoniously
with flushed face, in the corner. Two
youngsters sat next to HIM. and they giggled
at the abrupt way in which he sat down.
Pretty soon the car stopped, and a couple
of authenticated misses tripped in, with
strong odor of sweet violets, and seated
themselves on the opposite side near the
center. They reached their seats without
any mishap. as the can waited for fat
man, who didn't commence webbing from
the Sidewalk until the car stopped He had
squeezed through the door! and taken a
couple Of song-anddance steps toward a
seat, when the car started. and threw him
back against the conductor; then he
lurched forward and sat down suddenly on
the two boys, crowding them apart like a
big wedge, and they gigglsd again.
When the car stopped next it was to pick
up little woman with well-loaded mar
ket basket, and she came forward by fits
and starts until she secured a seat next to
the little boy near the center Of the car,
placing her basket on the seat between her
self and the boy; and soon the scents from
the various vegetables and the odor of
sweet violets were battling for supremacy.
The fat mans coat pocket was gaping wide
open. and it caught the eyes of the young
ster seated next to the market basket. He
had also noticed some onions on top of the
conglomeration in the basket, and it wasn't
long before he had five Of the vegetables
transferred to the pocket.
Then the young rascals put four or five of
the onions in his cap, and, holding the cap
in his hand, walked to the door. motioning to
the other little chap to join him. After
few whispers and giggles, they again took
their seats. but had exchanged places, and
1t didn't take much time to make another
transfer. and the cap was empty again.
The fat man and the little woman are
both undoubtedly readers of The Star, and
will understand now something that prob
ably seemed very mysterious and puzzling
as they reached their respective homes on
last Saturday night.

arms until he was red in the face.
Il thought he must be a fool snake to
try to catch a partridge that way. but that
wasn't his idee. Now you know when a

will lay under roots or inside holler logs

Their FavOrite Resorts.
Generally speaking. quail are birds of an
open country, and little of your shooting
will be done in the woods, so that unless
you perchance drive the birds into it for
shelter, you will confine most of your at
tention to the fields and pastures. Wheat
stubble is most excellent ground to shoot
over, as is also corn stubble. In the south
ern states is variety of pea, known as
Cow pea" or poor mans pea" 1t is ex-
tensively grown in many localities, and
proves never-failing source of food for
these birds. If covey is not started out
Of the patch itself 1t is almost sure to be
found within very short distance of one,
and your dog will quickly track them.
In fact some hunters merely travel from
one patch to the next. If now, after care
fully hunting the country over without
finding anything, you will seek out some
little swale in which the grass grows a
trifie higher thai elsewhere, you will be
almost certain to find the quarry. This
knowing about where to find the birds is
one of the things you have got to learn for
yourself by experience. No one can tell
you; 1t is like tying a particular knot
easy to do. but hard to explain.

DIR. PHIL. BROOME BROOKS, NJ. q

The youngest and no doubt one o
the most successful physicians in this
city Is DIR. Phil. Broome Brooks. This
young and eminent physician was borr
in this city September 18th 1864.
He is the son of John II. Brooks, a
prominent brick maker and man oi
means. His mother is Mrs. Laura c.
Brooks, born in this city.
DIR. Brooks was reared bv his aunt,
Mrs. Annie E. Magruder, who took
him in charge when he was six weeks
old.
When but boy he received aid and
encouragement from two white gentle
men, Messrs. Saville and Cox in the
Glover building I4Ie F ST. n. w, where
he received the first inspiration to pre-
pare himself for the study of medicine.
While he was performing his duties
as an elevator conductor, he embraced
every leisure moment to his books.
By hard study and forbearance he sue
ceeded in obtaining an academic and
classic education.
These white friends thought it best
that he should study a profession, so
he entered the medical department of
Howard University from which he was
graduated in 1850, and the Pharmaceut-
ical in 1890, which gave him the de-
grees, NJ. d., Phar. ID.
To-day he is recognized as one of the
leading physicians in the city and the
youngest. His practice is immense

Thirty-two buildings, and eighteen hundred
dollars in currency among THE rnias.

Saturdays south bound train brought
news to the village Of the burning, at 3
O'Clock a. M, OF the Lakota Hunting and
Fishing Resort, situated on the bank Of
North TWIN Lake, Ten miles north Of
Eagle River.
The Resort was probably the largest
and finest Of it's kind in Northern Wis
consin, and enjoyed a large and Iucera-
tive patronage, during hefshing season
it had on an average OF about one hun
bred guests per day. Thirty-seyen
buildings in all comprised the Resort
streets were laid out and the place to q
stranger had the appearance 81 a little
village
The fire was noticed in the upper story
Of the main hotel building and quickly
spread and burned the store building,
club house, music hall, barber shop,
blacksmith shop, drying house, girls
building, laundry, sleeping apartments,
ice house, cottages and assembly hall, "
the latter is where the sportsmen gath
cred il the evening to dry their lines and
compare notes OF the days sport.
There were twenty -seven guests at the
Resort at the time Of burning, all escap-
ing with barely enough clothing to pro
tect them from the chilly winds.
HI. Goodal, proprietor and owner,
had left in the writing desk drawer, Fri
day evening, neglectins to put the same
in the safe, fifteen hundred dollars il cur
rency which, with three hundred dollars
more, being the savings Of three years
labor OF H. Fisher, guide, went up IN
the flames
The FIRE was fought with hose and q
little engine, which they had for such pur-
poses, but it was all in vain as they could
not stop the fire famed, as it was, by a
strong wind.
The loss to Mr. and Mrs. Goodal is a
severe one, as they had invested all their
money in the enterprise, which now is a
total loss as it.was uninsured.
The resort was first started in about
1887, and increased inpopularity so fast
that each year additional accommoda-
tions had to be built.
We understand the resort will not be
