Pa:.ttri lgeS Plentiful.

Sportsmen who delight in field
shooting are not i'll the least sorry be-
cause of the continuous rains. They
know that the rain will cause ragweed
and other low covers to grow in the fields
and that the partridge will come to these
covers from the dense woods and swamps
where he has been spending the seasons
of late and will afford them sport.
The increase in the Numbers of these
birds has been miraculous during the last
two years. There were SO few birds in
Maryland during previous years that little
or no sport could be had. The result has
been that trained dogs became scarce and
now that the birds have increased rapidly
through not being hunted and having ad-
ditions made by liberating stock birds
from other States the scarcity of well
broken dogs will be most observable after
November 1.
Had the new license law been in effect
three, or even one year ago, many good
setter or pointer dog would have found
himself in the pound and with slight
chances of being purchased. The pros
poets for good shooting are now SO bright
that those who have broken dogs to sell
will get picnic prices for them when the
season opens. Many gunners who have
gone to North Carolina and other South
ern States every season are now planning
trips to the counties of Maryland. Sum
mer eXcursionests. while travelling, have
seen covey after cover of cartridges flying
away when frightened by train of cars
and others who were i'll the counties ear
lier heard the cheerful whistle of Bob
White" in various directions from their
Temporary country residences. Now that
the rains have promised a rich growth of
cover they can see no cause to go far
away to find plenty of sport.

Lesson From the Navy.

Dallas News.
A Pennsylvania writes to the New
York Evening Post aud quotes from q
public address of Bishop Hsrtzell as
Ollpws:
We must thank God for Dewey.

ears getting ready for Mania. When
the, critical moment came, Dewey did

officer In the navy der artment, and his
tudy OF naval warfare, with his
pluck d good judgment, prepared
hin for one of the most famous naval
victories Of our history.
The Evening P.st'5 correspondent
then applies q dou ble-ed9ed sword of
,oaly sis TO the modern politician and
iis ways, showing how sp ,isism would
wreck q government If the parti-an
we're above full sway in ordering all

ions to the American people for
