windows or openings, protected by out
ward swinging flap blinds, and through
these windows the sportsman in the
rear may discharge his towing piece
when the game has been successfully
stalked. For the firing of the hunter
in the front of the decoy there is pro-
vided n downward swinging portion,
which includes the head and neck of the
animal, so that by simply releasing a
small catch from the inside of the
framework, this swing front portion
drops by gravity and thus leaves the
sportsman free.

DECOY FOR HUNTERS.
1t Presents the Perfect Outward Sem
blance of a Cow.


AS deceptive and dangerous as the
proverbial wolf in sleeps clothing is
a patent cow just invented by a west
ern genius. The device presents the
perfect outward semblance of a most
peaceable and amiable COW, but the
fore legs and the hind legs are in fact
the legs of two men. They are armed
with guns, and have splendid sup
ply of ammunition.
The device has n flexible outer shell
of canvas or other suitable material,
decorated externally to represent the
animal in imitation of which the de-
coy is constructed, and said shell is
adapted to be supported or held in its
distended position through the medium
of a collapsible metal framework, which

train of cars, but the trolley car got the
better of them. He-Le-ASe. a venturesome

Wentworth Military Academy.

A Christmas announcement of the Went
worth Military academy. of Lexington. Mo-.
sets forth the following facts:
That its enrolment is 20 per cent larger
than ever before in the history of the in
stitution. embracing representatives from
fifteen states and territories and from Old
Mexico.
That the number of applicants for admis-
sion at the beginning of the school year
was greater than could be received, even
after providing additional room.
That the impetus given to class work and
the tone and irmneSS lent to school diSci-
pine by this success have contributed to
render this year the best in the history
of an old and worthy institution.
The fame of Lexington as an educational
center. the sound management of the
school. and the failure of other military
academies during the years OF depression
since 1893 have left Wentworth academy
with almost n clear field. This in the end
will be a clear gain to the cause of mill
tary education. setting a higher standard
of work and demanding of all such schools
a fuller equipment.
