only result Of all his bluster aud noise
was that the turkeys Stunned the far
side Of the woods and began to habi-
tate that part nearest to his shanty.
But this was just what HezekIah
wanted.
At the end Of the week he drove 70
the county town and, going into the
leading gunsmith's, asked for a couple
Of pounds Of turkey shot
"Why, that's something we're never
asked for any more" said the gun
smith In surprise what are you go
ing to do with Il, Mr.. SharpT
"Oh," replied Hezekiah In a careless
sort OF way there's a flock OF Wild
turkeys drifted into the Ten Mile woods,
and, as they've been coming round
rather close to my shanty lately. /
think I'll knock a few Of them on"
Hezeklah got some shot that was
"just as good and returned home to
await developments.
The following Monday morning he
got up early, concealed himself In the
woods and waited II was not long
till he heard a couple of shots close to
where he knew the flock was feeding
lie rushed over to the spot, gun In
hand, and came upon two of the dude
sportsmen joyfully comparing a couple
of fine birds. He angrily accused them
Of shooting his fowls, and threatened
to have them arrested.
But" protested the two, they're
Wild. We shot them In the woods"
"Shot them In the woods, did you"
yelled Hezekiah you're a smart set,
amt you? Come over here, and I'll
show you the coops | raised them in"
There was nothing else to do. They
went to the shanty, Hezekiah fuming
all the way and vowing what he would
do. There was no longer any doubt
about the identity Of the birds. The
coops were there as a proof of II. Then
the two offered to pay q dollar each for
the turkeys, but HeZekiah would have
none of their money. He would have
the law on them and teach such know
nothings a lesson about killing other
peoples turkeys. Finally he reluctant
ly consented to take 50 each for the
birds and say no more about II.
The two sports went back to town,
not to warn others Of the danger, but
to boast of their prowess. True, they
had paid we'll for their sport, but 1t
was not their place to publish such a
thing. Besides, there were some other
fellows in town that they would like
to see taken in.
Next day Hezekiah was kept busy
holding up the unsuspecting crack
shots from town. Each man paid his
hush money and went home a poorer
but a more enlightened hunter
Every day the flock got thinner and
thinner, and the old sock in Hezekiah's
shanty grew more corpulent according
ly. Before the week was over the rem
nants of the flock lowered so close to
the shanty that even a city hunter
would not think of calling them wild
Hezekiah now thinks that there is
nothing on earth that will beat turkeys
for making money, and this year his
Thanksgiving will be one Of unadulter-
ated gratitude.

for the liberty of bygone days-the
days when their unnamed progenitors
wandered at will through the woods

a week their wild nature had asserted
itself and the whole flock forsook the

The city Of Georgetown, British
Guiana, has recently introduced the
electric light. An interesting phenom-
enon is reported which well nigh
plunged the city into total darkness
on the first night of the rainy reason.
The arc light lamps, which apparently
are not fitted with wire gauze tops, be-
came centres OF attraction to cookies,
a species of small beetle, which swarm
in myriads along the coast aud river
shores at the commencement OF the
Guiana rainy season, and each lamp
was speedily filed to the brim.
The front ranks Of the insects then
came in contact with the current,
which set their bodies on fire. The
immediate result was that the lamps
were rendered useless for Illuminating
purposes, and clouds Of noxious fumes
emanated from them and foated into
the neighboring houses, the inmates
of which were driven nearly frantic.

The Trouble in the Island is by No Means
at an End.
The trouble in the Samoan Islands
did not end with the departure OF the
representatives of the Powers from
Apia, although they confidently
thought they had restored peace and
brought the rival factions together.
F. S. Meade, who arrived at Victoria
BIC, on the steamer Miowera, after
trip through the islands of the south
seas, says the two factions were at war
very shortly after the commissioners
left, and that they engaged in apitched
battle. The rival kings took no part,
but the leaders of the parties were en-
gagged. Several were killed on both
sides, and a large number were
wounded.

An Insect Census.

An insect census has just been taken
on purely scientific lines, with view
to determine as far as it is possib lie
which insects are a boon and blessing
to mankind and which are the reverse,
says the London Mail.
Although the statistics quite upset
the idea that all insects and lower ami
mails were created solely for mans
benefit, yet it is conclusively proved
that while some insects are rightly
termed "pests," there are others that
render us considerable service, and,
fortunately for our crops and vegeta-
bles, the latter are in the majority.
According to the census, the insects
are to be classified as good, bad and
Indifferent; the good insects number
116 families, the bad amount to 113
families, while the Indifferent insects,
who could not for one reason or another
satisfactorily answer all the questions
on their census papers, and must,
therefore, for the present be looked
upon as doubtful characters, reach a
total of 7 families.
No fewer than 112 families of the
bad or injurious insects feed upon Gull
tivsted plants and crops, doing dam
age to and devouring thousands of
pounds worth of vegetable product an
nually, gobbling up our spring cab
bages and succulent young peas, ETC.,
in the most ruthless fashion, while the
18th family is parasitic upon and
causes much harm to warm-blooded
animals.
OF the good or beneficial insects 70
families devote themselves to the de-
struction of their wicked, vegetable
devouring brethren, which they accom-
plish in a most satisfactory and whole
some manner, while of the remaining
