the sidewalks these sloppy days.

The incessant popping of shot-gun'
on our bay indicates that mans pro
} pensity to slaughter has full sway
Notwithstanding the ordinances tina
have been enacted to protect the pub
lie from possible danger from glancinl
shot. That it is spirit of destruc
ton which impcls the man with tn,
gun is manifest from the fact that the
ducks killed on the water front pos
sess a fishy" flavor which makes then
a very poor article of food, and man,
are left when dead to float on thu
, water and are washed up on the beach
to pollute the atmosphere with thei
gradual decay. Much worse it is
from humane standpoint, to allow
the wounded birds to escape, and pos
sibly suffer excruciating torture til
relieved by death. Let us hope that
little thought will be given to thes'
admonitions by those who posses
that salient trait OF human nature,
disposition to kill such living crea
lures as are not specifically protected
by law.
