HE ATE TWO OUAILS a DAY.
DIR. Boyson ErpIodes a Popular DelusIon
IN Thirty-D ay Contest


The idea that a man cannot eat
quail day for thirty days is all bosh,
said DR.. Thomas Boyson while dis
| GUESSING fishing and eating and eating
| feats with several companions the
other day DR.. BOyson is well known
as a successful mining man, says the
| San Francisco Examiner.
It's queer, too" resumed the doc
| tor, how firm-rooted some sportsmen
are in this Quail-eating theory. Sew
eral years ago l was discussing the
point in a small shooting party and
| one of them promptly offered to wager
| $500 that no one could eat quail a
| day every day for thirty days. No
one was disposed to AXE him up. In
fact, the half-dozen sportsmen seemed
tc think there was no winning such a
bet, and that for some unknown reason
quail a day would turn the gorge OF
the most steadfast eater before the
moon was up.
Now, I'm not Unfortunately fond of
quail but l have an unqualified respect
for my own will and digestive powers.
Besides, as a professional man, | dis
like exceedingly to leave such simple
scientific questions in conditions for
idle speculations and waSers. 1t is so
simple to solve them with trial. SO
told the eating prophet | would take
his bet, the loser to pay for the quails.
Well, | started in on my quail and
brOwsed along easily for nearly
week in spite Of the relentless chatting
of my table companions.
About the sixth day along came a
man who said: Oh, quails are all
right You may be able to eat a quail
a day for thirty days, but squads are
different. You never could eat one
squad a day for that time
You're just the man I'm looking
for l said. All l require now is at
least one squad a day to put the finish
ing relish TO my two quails. Believe
me, I'm furnishing for at least ons
squad a day. He thought | was bluff
ing and said something about placips
500 against my ability to eat thirty
squads in as many days. OF cOurss
the others egged him on. There was
only one thing for me to do; at the
next meal a tempting SQUAD flankad
my two quails. | kept to that trio
of birds for thirty-tive days and might
have kept it up longer, but ! had ex-
pi0ded the theory to my own satisfac-
ton by that time. No, l never felt
any distaste for the birds aud got
along swimmingly at every stage, or,
rather, meal, of the contest Maybe at
times | might have relished some other
dish much better than straight birds.
but l never had to force myself to at
tack my daily brace OF quails
For breakfast | took q cup Of cof-
fee and a roll. l rarely take anything
heavier unless I am on hunting OF
fishing trip. At noon l picked a quail,
thanked by a bottle Of light vine, and
at dinner | paid my respects to the re-
naming quail and his brother. the
SQUAD. At that meal | was allowed
wine, coffee and some assorted fruit
That's the reason | say bosh when l
hear Quidnuncg say it is impossible to
eat a quail a day for thirty days"

an intelligent lot Of people, so l soon
taught them 10 speak English and set
them to work TO save all the portable
stuff from the wreck. My bicycle came
ashore among other things. and. when
the tires were readjusted, became
