he can but just fix by his vision the
muzzle sight Of his rifle in the little
nick of the one nearer the breech If he
remains out of sight, he may be able to
secure two or even three birds ere the
darkness puts an end to his sport Then
he gathers up his game and goes home
to return long before the cock crows,
for at break OF day his turkeys will
leave that rCost never to return Ii he
is careful, he may get two more of the
flock as a result of his early morning
visit
Then comes another ruse of the hunt
er, by the skillful exercise of which he
may be able to inveigle two or three
moro Of the turkeys to their death. In
the wing of each turkey is hollow
bone that can readily be transformed
into whistle, the note of which, when
properly blown, very closely resembles
the call of a turkey Not far away and
well concealed lies the daylight MUIR
derer's accomplice. AS soon after their
fight from the perch as the turkeys dis
cover that all has become quiet and the
gobblers have mustered up little cour-
age, they begin calling for the purpose
of collecting the remnant of the flock
preparatory to permanent departure
from the scene of 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, lutter 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 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 ;,
still clinging. the hunter may get -
other shot.
The third method is to entrap the
birds. \ strong pen of logs or rails is
erected in the wood, and trench with
an easy descent beneath the foundation
piece is dug deep enough to admit the
largest turkey without crowding In
the trench a little corn is strewn, and
the turkeys walk along eating or look.

A ROYAL SPORT.
WILD TURKEY SHOOTING AS 1T USED
TO BE.

Always Called Good Game-A Sly and
Knowing Bird-Tricks of the Trade.
How Turkeys Are Trapped-Benja-
min FrankIin's Idea of the Turkey.
The turkey, like Thanksgiving day,
with which he is inseparably associated
in the American mind, is, in the Ian
guage of a proud Yankee, lone of the
INSTRUCTIONS 1t had been homestead
ed and bred in the old world before the
pilgrim fathers landed ON Plymouth
Rock, presumably by the Spaniards, who
captured specimens in Mexico and trans
ported them to Europe. In every part of
the American continent except the frig
earliest settlers found the turkey in its
wild state. The species of fowl which
was regarded as so toothsome at the first
American Thanksgiving was the bird Of
today in his unenlightened condition.
The pioneers of all parts of the Unit
ed States where there were extensive
tracts of forest found wild turkeys in
great abundance. and even in the days
when deer were plentiful no hunter
scorned this bird as unworthy of his
prowess. Wild turkey hunting was and
yet is royal sport wherever the bird
exists. He is considered noble game
and, like the deer and the buffalo, has
rapidly disappeared from many of his
former haunts before the march of civil
lization He is now seldom found in his
native state except in the larger forests
of the great north and northwest, the
brush lands of Arkansas and the Indian
territory and the jungles of semitropioal
Florida.
Within the memory of many sports
men turkey hunting was considered

Then they become alarmed and go tear

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 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 -Jeweler.

The Intoxicated Turkey.

The opening ceremony of the festivities
connected with Thanksgiving day in New
York used to be making drunk the turkey
that was to be the most important feature
of the holiday feast. When the bird that
was to occupy the place of honor on the ia
, BILE had been selected, it was taken to one
corner of the farmyard, and cup Of
brandy was placed before it. The turkey
would drink this eagerly and would then
give first class exhibition of being on
tear" of the funniest kind. He would
staggeringly strut up and down, his wings
trailing on the ground At one time he
would seem to look extremely wise and
then would appear to be overcome with
the hilarious aspect of his condition. In
the meantime the other fowls would look
on with gravity and wonder at the curious
capers of their companion as he toddled
around, sometimes gravely swinging his
head from side to side and sometimes lift
ing it high in the air.
All the members of the family and the
relatives and friends who had come to
spend Thanksgiving with it would gather
in the yard and enjoy the sight Finally
when the poor fellow was exhausted and
overcome with drowsiness he was killed
The good housewives imagined that it
| increased the flavor of the turkey so per
cent to kill it while it was drunk Fam
lilies that would not allow drop of liquor
to be brought into their houses at any 9TH
er time except as medicine would not
think it wrong to make their Thanksgiv-
ing turkey drunk. Perhaps it was thought
that the bird would feel less worried over
| Its fate if the headsman's Ratchet was put
| to it while it was in a state of blissful ig-
aorance.-Exohange.

A PARSONS ESCAPE.
He Was Accused Of swIndling, but Got
Out Of Cell.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Aug. 1.-THE Rev.
w. s. Anderson. held here on the 1
charge. of swindling. has escaped from
the police station. He had been there
since August 2. Anderson is wanted by
the Cumberland, Md. authorities on a
charge of embezzlement. He opened a
large branch Of the Union Dime Per-
manent Loan association of Rochester,
N. Y, at Cumberland, and did large
business He is alleged to have swim
died more than a hundred persons in
that vicinity.
Since his arrest here the Cumberland
authorities have made great efforts to
get requisition papers. and the governor
was to have decided whether he would
grant them.
Patrol Driver Wolfe went with break
fast for Anderson, and found the pris-
oner gone. Two screws had been taken
out of the bars in the window and one
of the bars bent upward, making a
hole about is by "a inches. Through
this Anderson had crawled, and with
the aid of q blanket dropped lightly to
the ground. He scaled the back fence
in the alley. which is about 25 feet high,
and, with the aid OF second blanket,
dropped safely to the ground.
