rnoznN ON LAKE cAppo.
Experience of n Pnrty OF Marshall
Hunters.

Marshall, Tex, Feb. 1G.-Caddo Lake,
situated about twenty miles east OF
here and ON the line between Texas
and Louisiana. Is u favorite hunting
and fishing resort for those OF our oitl-
zens who are fond OF that kind Of sport.
Quite number of hunting and fishing
clubs have been organized In the years
past, and along the banks OF the lake
are club houses and grounds ntted up
for the accommodation OF members,
During the winter months the lake
Is the feeding ground for myriads OF
ducks, which come in large droyes 10
eat the grass, which IS very luNuri-
ant. Whenever the ducks come In asy
considerable numbers, word Is sent 10
the sportsmeu and they straigistway
HE themselves away TO the iie.d Of
slaughter. Sometimes the ducks range
nearer to the other side OF the lake
ana then the sportsmen leave their
club houses and pitch their camp on
the nar bank.
Last week Capt. T. W. Winston.
Dr. Elicit, Bin Matley ana W. g. Win
aton went out on Cadd1 Lake for ducks.
They camped at Pine Bluff ON the other
side OF the lake. During the night the
blizzard struck them and In the morn
ing the lake was found frozen from
bank To bank They worried with their
isolation until Saturday at noon. and
then determined TO get out at all haz-
ards. Dr. Elleit and W. G. Winston
with their uarsmen, armed with axes
and spades, started out and cut their
Nay through the ice, which was three
inches thick. to Pine Island, a dis
lance of about a mile and half. When
they reached the island they got out
and built n fire and sent Dnck for the
rest Of the party and plumber IL took
them Ave hours TO cut through TO Pine
island. When they were all safe on
INC island they left everything there
and walked across on the Ice to Starr
cInb house. a distance Of about one
mile. When they first started walk
ing OH the ice. Capt, Winston, who Is
an old time sportsman. and about 90
years old, declared that he would never
col there. but with the assistance OF
mo others he finally made II to the
Harrison county side. When they
reaehcd shore they shook hands and de-
clarcd that they would never 30 hunt
Inc again. They say that now they
know how those Arctic explorers feel
when they are frozen in.

that it could not be induced to throw out

Perennial Plants.

1t has recently been shown IN a
scientific paper that the reason why
some plants appear as ANIMALS and others
as perenniais is simply because of the
strain of nutrition which annual plants
make. In perennial plants there is not
the same daft, and little nutrition is
left to form buds at the base, and in that
way continues the same individual plant
from year to year. In Meehan's Monthly
it is explained that if the ANIMALS are
prevented from maturing seeds by
having the flowers cut off early they be-
come perennials and make buds at the
base, just as those recognized as peren-
malls do. Perennials, indeed, are scarcely
such any more than those recognized as
ANIMALS. The potato, for instance, makes
a new tuber, but all the rest of the plant
dies. and this is said to be true, in the
m ain, of all plants the strawberry
as there is nothing about the plant more
than one year that is truly living.
