to Greensboro, thence as far west rs Nor

are birds in abundance. Granville County
offers good sport, aud so does Person.
The Legislature, at its last 81 sSiou, en-
acted Il law for number of counties, re-
quiring hunters to have the written per-
mission of landowners when hunting on
the laiters' lands. This was aimed at
| ''pot hunters" In parts of the state,
mainly in the High Point and Hickory
| sections, Northern spnrtmen, To Il very
large extent, pay the taxes on the lands
and have all the privileges East OF

| large landowners make thing pai ticulariy
pleasant for sp0rtsmen.
Sportsmen from the Baltimore section
will find good shooting in Randolph
County. 1t is evident that the plan OF
securing hunting rights by paying TIC
comparatively trifling taxes on lano!
will be widely extended.

AN HONEST ARTIST.

He Would Not Paint "A Lie Even For
a Napoleon.
There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin,
Prince Napoleon. whom the Parisians
called "Plon Plon. The prince used to
make abusive speeches against the en-
peror, which people were only too ready
to repeat to him 'Let him alone,
Louis Napoleon would reply. He is
too well known. No one would urn me
out to place him on the throne"
The emperor was correct, for no one
said a good word about ''Plon Plon.'
He was commonly believed to have
shown the white feather in the Crimea
and never exposed himself where the
lead was falling. An English lady, who
in her young days mingled with French
society, tells in her Foreign Courts
and Foreign Homes a story as discred-
liable to Prince Napoleon as it is hon
orable to a French artist.
While the artist was painting the
historical picture of the battle of the
Alma, which the emperor had ordered,
Prince Napoleon called at the painters
studio to make known to him the facts.
On leaving he said he wished the prom
inent figure in the battle to be himself
mounted on his white charger. He sent
the horse to the artist SO that he could
paint its exact portrait. When the pic
ture was finished and invitations were
sent out for a ''private view" the
white charger was seen, a prominent
figure in the battle, but without a rider
On hearing of this terrible omission
the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask
the reason. The honest artist said the
horse should remain if the prince wish
ed. but no rider would be on it. Tell
the prince | have never yet painted a
lie. The hint was taken. The prince
ordered the horse to be rubbed out

But 1t Was Worth What the other
Man Paid For 1t.
A man who had not been to church
for a very long time, says a London ex-
change, finally hardened to the persua-
sions of his wife and decided to go. He
got the family all together, and they
started early. Arriving at the church,
there were very few people in it and
no pew openers at hand, so the man led
his family well up the aisle and took
possession of a nice pew.
Just as the service was about to be-
gin a pompous looking old man came
in, walked up to the door of the pew
and stood there. exhibiting evident sur
prise that it was occupied. The occu-
pants moved over and offered him room
to sit down, but he declined to be seat
ed. Finally the old man produced a
card and wrote upon it with a pencil:
81 pay for this pew.
"He gave the card to the strange &C
| cupant, who, had he been like most
people, would have at once got up and
left. But the intruder adjusted his
glasses and with a smile read the card
Then he calmly wrote beneath it:
Elbow much do you pay a year,"
To this inquiry the pompous old gen
tleman, still standing, wrote abruptly
"Ten pounds"
The stranger smiled as though h
were pleased, looked around to compare
the pew with others, admired its mic,
cushions and furnishings and wrote
back:
81 don't blame you. 1t is well wortl
it"
The pompous old gentleman at tina
stage collapsed into his seat.

The Sensitive Porgy.

The porgy, common as it is, is a
beautiful fish when seen in the water
in a favorable light, and 1t is likewise
one of the most sensitive of fishes. In
captivity it is easily frightened. 1t will
take alarm from something done by a
passing visitor, a thoughtless touching
of glass, or something of that sort, and
go rushing around until it Is exhausted.
Sometimes a porgy in a tank may,
when frightened, jump out of the water
and bump it's nose against the wire
screen over the tank and be seemingly
paralyzed by the shock and rendered un-
able to swim. In such a condition it
will lie upon its back, ~motionless, ex-
cept perhaps for a futtering of it's fins,
for an hour, and then it may come back
all right again and swim about SO lively
and in such good form that you can't
tell then which fish of the lot it was
that had bumped its head.
A popularity of the porgy is its liza
bility to blindness. Blindness is not un-
common among fishes, but there are
perhaps more blind porgies than there
are fish of any other kind. There's a
saying among fishermen, GAS blind as a
porgy. New York Sun.
