A STEADY AIM.

on little spit that reached out into
the lake, and against which, being of
black bog, the white forms of the
geese stood out in striking relief,
while others were swimming idly about
or plunging their wedge-shaped heads
into the dark waters i'll search of the
succuent roots and fibers which con-
stitute their food.
1t was difficult work stalking game in
this way, as the nearer the bolas-throw-
cr approached the lake the softer the
ground became. Step by step he
crawled, crouching low, until, peering
through the tussock grass, he found
himself within $50 feet of the flock.
Between him and the game was large
cluster of grass or weeds, which he
finally reached.
The little island was found to be ex-
nctly suited for his purpose, the grass
being six or seven feet high in the CEN
ter, while from it, in the direction of the
unsuspecting geese, the land extended
for 20 or 30 feet, almost devoid of veg
citation. Wringing the black, wood
stained water from his clothes, the
hunter arranged his bolas, taking the
small ball in his right hand and swing
ing the others over his left arm all
ready to throw, then plunged carefully
into the grass. Slowly he worked his
way until he could see the geese through
the green and yellow screen, barely 100
feet away, then dashed from his cover
and ran down the little island shore at
full speed, and before the astonished
geese could recover he was almost
among them. They scurried off in every
direction, some Tapping furiously over
the water in vain efforts to rise; 9th
ers circling laboriously into the air.
To the latter the young hunter de-
voted himself, and now stood leisurely
swinging the two balls around his
head, with a slight upward angle.
Faster they flew, until they finally dis
appeared from sight; and then, the air
being filled with geese, he released the
ball in his hand, and the remarkable
weapon. with it's three balls widely
stretched in opposite directions, yet
whirling violently around, went
whistling into the air. Up it went, and
| with almost human intelligence seemed
to glide in among the birds and wind
about them like the coils of snake.
One bird was stunned by blow from
the ball, while two others, completely
entangled in the cords, came fiuttering
down into the water, where they Were
easily secured, Il little later being fas-
tened to the horse and on their way to
the home of the herders, miles out on
the moorland.
! The bolas is the natural weapon of
the Spanish South Americans, who are
remarkably proficient and skillful with
it. They use it on the continent in tax
ing the ostrich, following the swift bird
on horseback. whirling the three OF
four balls in the air with very long
cords, and sending them so swiftly that
they rarely miss, whirling tightly
around the legs of the bird and bringing
it down.

He was encouraged to do so, but so
erifing did the president consider the in

one, and in half an hour had forgotten
all about it. Not SO with Uncle Billy,
however. On two occasions he was
sent to the express Office by White e.

heavy parcels. Two or three times.
also, he saw a stranger in their office
whose looks he did not like and whom
he set down for conspirator. For the

they were frequently there for an hour

DR.. Todd had been misled and imposed
upon by his counsel employed to at

April, 1898, and upon consultation be-
tween Mr. Booth and T. f. Harvey. at
torney for defendant, and by permits
sion of the court, IL was agreed that
DIR. Todd plead guilty to the statutory
offense, of having practiced as a ply
stefan and surgeon without having first
obtained a certificate from the state
board of medical examiners. DIR. Todd $
first certificate having been by the
board revoked and of which, through
the neglect of his counsel. c. L. Camp

DIR. Todd was fined 81 and costs. up

and the doctor will apply for a new
