Truth Not Always the Best.

81 always used to be told" said Foot.
Init, THAT franknoss and truthfulness
ondeared man to his friends, but the
whole thing is q delusion. 1t is lying that
makes follow popular.
Now, take my experiences of today
My wife made some wheat cakes for me
with her own little hands. They wero the
worst slabs of putty 1 ever tried to eat
When she asked my opinion of them, bo-
Ing truthful man, told her that had
never put anything so unpalatable In my
mouth and that 10-year-old girl could
have done better. Then she began to cry
after that went down town to my
store. A woman came in to get some
dress goods. She picked out material
entirely unsuited to her years. Having
beon taught that truthfulness commends
itself to customer In tho long run, said
to her: You're much too old for that sort
Of dress 1t Is not suited to woman
over CO., thought she would be Obliged
to mo for my tactful interest in her ap-
poarance, but instead Of that she flounoed
out Of the store In rngo, and think
she'll never como back.
II don't believe frankncss Is the best
policy at oil, and I'm going to make tho
acquaintance of somo first class liar and

HUNTERS Who use SMALL CANNON.
Exterminating Wild Fowl in the San
Joaquin Valley.
Strange to Say. Juries Are Found
That Stand in With the
DeSpoilers.

There have as yet been no COM
plants made that any of the men who
are shooting for the market in this
vicinity are using guns of larger caliber
than that designated by law, No. 10,
which is at least creditable to the Sac
ramento hunters.
Down in the San Joaquin NaIley,
however, there is a class OF market
hunters who openly defy the law ana
use guns as big as No. 8 and even NO t
gauge, which are little less than mlnla-
ture cannon. With these weapons OF
destruction they kill enormous quanu-
ties Of ducks, often filling a wagon with
the birds killed at one discharge. These
men are called bull hunters, because
they sneak upon the ducks by walking
behind trained oxen, and when close
enough to their unsuspecting victims
they empty their howitzers among
them. From fifty to one hundred ducks
are often slain at one discharge.
1t would seem that all good cltlzenS
would stand together in uphOlulng the
law against such murderous and mer-
cenary creatures, but so many nave
been taught by custom and the raise
teachings of hoWlerS against game
be trod upon, that it IS almost I'M
possible to convict even bull hunter
caught in the act Of violating the law
Deputy State Game Warden Mctar-
land of Los Banos is after these fellows,
however, and declares that he VIII stay
with them until he breaks up their
illegal business. Writing OF his recent
experience in arresting and prosecut-
ing some of these No. and No. gun
11erS down there he saws.
"On Friday night l returned mere,
and at dark found a number of bull
hunters ready to attend the trial OF
Cathey the next day. Two Of them
sought me out. and tried to see how
much insult 1 would stand, but soon de-
sisted when I called them down.
Saturday, the 23d, George M. Cathey
was tried before Justice Cotterah anu
a jury of ten men. The trial resulted
in hung jury, seven for convlctloh
and three for acquittal The Justice
was disposed to dismiss the case but
District Attorney Ostrander OBJECTED,
and told him plainly that he had not
the right to dismiss.
The defendants attorney made
vigorous effort to have the Dig gun
turned over to the defendant, but With
out success. The case has been very
exciting and every effort has been mace
to pull down the Justice and the DIS
trict Attorney, but Mr.. Ostrander gave
the bull hunters and their ITlehds 70
understand that he feared them not
and would prosecute every violation OF
the game law"
Mr.. Mcfarland added in conclusion
that he intenuUu to prosecute two other
hunters who use No. and No. . gauge
guns. Their names are Kennedy ana
Yearger.
