GRUHLER'S DUCK SHOOT.
Why His Friends Did Not Dine on
NildfOwl.

Several Of the rifle marksmen of
Company G told their wives when they
left home yesterday TO attend the
weekly target practice that they would
not be home for dinner, and not to wait
for them, as they had accepted an in
vitation from comrade Jake Gruhler
to dine with him on canvasback.
They didn't dine with Jake, however,
but had to take pot luck" at home,
after ALL
For a week past Gruhler had been
planning for a big duck shoot. He
was going 20 be out for two days, and
as he expected TO bring home wagon
load of nice, fat waterfowl, he invited
his rifle shooting friends to dine with
him on Sunday.
Jake loaded up his duck-hunting par
aphernalia and set out in the crisp,
frosty air early on Thursday morning.
All that day he hunted ducks assidu-
ously, and a part Of the next, and when
ne got back 10 town he had just one
poor, forlorn little teal to show for his
two days sport.
He was plucky enough, however. TO
show up at the weekly gathering of
target shooters yesterday and explain
why he couldn't invite the boys to
duck dinner But before the day was
over he regretted that he hadn't staid
away and sent his regrets by letter.
for he was made the victim of endless
"joshing."

SOLID ROCK.
Rev. G.. L. Miel breaches to Young
Men at St. Paul'S Church.

Last evening Rev. c. l.. Mel spoke to
large congregation, many OF his near
ers being young men, from the text,
"Whosoever heareth these sayings OF
mine and doeth them, I will lillen him
a rock. And the rain descended, and
the floods came, and the winds blew
and beat upon that house, and 1t fell
rot, for it was founded upon a rock.
The preacher began by saying that
one of the most common demands OF the
day was for definiteness in religious
teachings. The words of the text are
the words of the Master builder of char
acter. They give every man a definite
aim and beauty. They put religion upon
foundation of common sense akin to
the solid rock. If men are in perplex-
ity about their religious duty, what
could be palmer than ChriSt'S words
here? He declares himself to be the
rock upon which men may build and
not fall; to which men may anchor and
not drift. Many men have built their
lives upon His teachings and anchored
their faith in Him, and by experience
have found the truth of His words
Amid life's most awful storms these
men have not drifted or fallen, because
they were anchored to and built upon
the Rock of Ages.
After speaking of the various forms
in which doubt assails the mind of
men, Mr.. Miel went on to say that in
this life, whether he will or no, every
man must be the builder of his own
character, and the character he is
building every day-yes, every hour
must rest upon the solid rock or the
shifting sand 1t matters little how
graceful may be the building, how much
gliding and decoration may be put upon
the walls, if all a mans thought and
toll rests only on the sand. We are
architects of our own character and the
arbiters of our own destiny. He who
builds on Christ need not fear the
storms, or winds, or floods of life; he
will withstand them all because his
character is founded upon the solid
rock

WANT MORRISON TO REMAIN.
Men Who Have the Game Interests at
Heart.
More Attention Given to Fish Than
to What Sports
men Say.

The San Francisco Chronicle says
the announcement that Fish Commis-
sioner Morrison of Sacramento is dis
gusted with how his confreres have
been conducting the affairs of the
commission and now proposes to re-
sign has set the tongues of sportsmen
and anglers to wagging. Morrison has
more than once announced his intention
OF reslgnlng, but up to the present he
has not fully made UP his mind to
withdraw from the commission
The sportsmen of San Francisco are
seemingly in favor of Morrison holding
office, he being the only member, they
contend, who has given any attention
to the game side of the question.
Ned Bosqui, prominent sportsman,
said that the commissioners have ac-
complished much good to the State by
introducing many varieties of food and
game fishes, but that they totally ig-
nored the suggestions of sportsmen
who were desirous that the game birds
and animals of the State should be at
least protected if foreign game birds
could not be introduced
According to the game laws an ap-
preparation amounting to something
like $4,000 has been appropriated for
the restoration and preservation of fish
and game, and for costs and expenses
of suits for violations of fish and game
laws $4,000" said Mr.. Bosqui Now,
then, l would be pleased to know how
much of the appropriation has been ex-
pended by the commissioners in the
restoration of game birds and animals
closed season for deer shooting the
commissioners were notified of the
slaughter Of deer in Marin County, but
they paid no attention to it. They said
in answer that they had not a sufficient
force of deputies to patrol the State,
and that ended it. l would like to see
some men on the commission who had
an interest in the protection of game
birds and animals"
William Kittle of the Country Club is
a great lover of fishing and shooting
He also voiced the sentiments ex-
pressed by Mr.. Bosqui
Doctor Hibbard took UP the cudgel in
defense of the commissioners. He said
that they We're powerless to do any
thing so far as Furnishing the trans
gressors of the game laws.
Il know for a positive fact" said the
doctor, Deputy Fish Commissioners
have made several arrests in this city
of men who were detected in the act
of selling game, and at a time when it
was unlawful to sell game, but in every
instance jury trial was demanded by
the attorneys for the defendants and
the result was immediate acquital
Now, then, what can the commissioners
do in he face of such facts?"
Il am aware that you can see even
now large numbers of game birds in
the markets, but what is the use of
arresting those lawbreakers, they will
go scot free every time. OF course
after the 18th inst. game can be sold
without any fear of arrest
Something should be done at the
next meeting of the Legislature by the
sportsmen of this city regarding the
framing of a law which will provide
means for the punishment of those who
laugh at the law as it now reads"
