from the scehe u the massacre. The
second hunter softly answers with his
whistle, and the chances are great that
he will by often responding to the in
quiring cry lure the turkey within
range of his gun. A sharp report, re-
peated over and again by the echoing
hillsides, futter of wings in death
struggle on the ground, and the forest
is again wrapped in silence.
After an hour of waiting the hunter
sounds his call, then listens for a faint
response If none is heard, he ventures
again. A third effort is likely to elicit
an answer unless the turkeys have be-
come SO terrified by the last shot that
by common impulse they have fled pre-
cipitately alone or in very small groups.
If they have hidden themselves in
clumps of bushes or the tops of fallen
trees to-which the withered foliage is
still clinging, the hunter may get an
other shot.
The third method is to entrap the
birds. Aysff6ng pen Of logs or rails is
erected in the wood, and trench with
an easy deecent beneath the founda ton
piece is dug deep enough to admit the
largest turkey without crowding In
tho trench little corn is strewn, and
the turkeys walk along eating or look
ing for something to eat as they go uu-
til all of them are within the pen.
Then they become alarmed and go tear
ing around the Enclosure with their
heads erect and chirping as loudly as
they can.
They never lower their heads enough
to discover that it is as easy for sensi
BILE bird to get out as for a foolish one
to get in, and as the pen is securely COW
cred the turkeys remain there until the
clever trapper comes and puts peremp-
tory end to their dire alright. Benja-
min Franklin once deplored the fact
that the turkey had not been selected as
the bird of freedom, but it is probably
best that the Yankees did not make this
high headed, foolish creature the en-
blem Of their liberty -Je~eIer.

ways contended that if the patrons of the
Santa Fe railroad here in Emporia pre-
scented their grievances to that road. they
would receive the courteous and consid-
crate treatment that one business man
always receives at another's hands. The
Gazette has further maintained and still
contends that the Santa Fe desires to do
the fair, just and honest thing by its
patrons all aibng the road. No better
proof of this can be found than is mani
fest in the appointment OF A. c. Jobes Of
Wichita on the Santa Fe directorate
Jobes is a business man whose interests
are identical with Wichita's; ne IS bound
by every tie to the community. and yet for
years Wichita has been a violent Santa

One among the very few failures of i'm

The first claim was fled by John T.

against the company for 5000. Following
this. George II. Hunter filed his chattel
amounting to sl.s17.Ss. Then come seventy
two other creditors with claims of sl6.-
s6a3l against the company, aggregating
SOS. 1860. These seventy-two creditors are
composed Of hardware. implement and
wholesale mercantile companies OF whom
the Curtis Mercantile company purchased
goods.
The mortgage is indeed heavy one. but
Mr. Curtis we are informed. claims his
stock viii pay out all right. His creditors
claim that they have been very lenient
with him; that they have stood by him
as long as they could. and that the time
had daVned when a crash must come.
