QUAIL HUNTING IN EGYPT.
Half n Million n Year Ensnared by
Natives.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Much has been said lately of the capture
of quail in Egypt, touching the protest
made by Frenchmen against carrying the
birds across French territory for English
use. Until this matter rosa nobody seemed
to know that quail existed in Egypt, but
they do-by the millions.
The passage of bands of quail over the
coast of the delta Of the Nile, from Port
Said to Alexandria, begins in September
and lasts month and half, the birds ar
irving in little groups and alighting on the
dunes.
Generally the chase is made by means Of
nets of five meters high. which the natives
extend on cords fastened to poles, in the
fashion of curtains gliding their rods.
In reality the net is double. The first
near the side of the sea Is of meshes very
large and loose, but on the back is another
net where the bird will really come and
perch itself in tha folds formed by this
second net of small meshes. There Is an
other method of capture which is more
picturesque. Rows of dried branches are
placed on the shore. At the foot of each
branch is disposed a tuft of fresh herbs, in
the middle Of which is arranged an opening
which ends in snare. The quail, tired by
its journey, takes refuge in the branch,
without figuring to itself that it is going to
put itself into trap where a native will
surprise 1t and kill it. With these perfected
means of destruction, 1t is not astonishing
that each year more than half million of
these poor little birds are taken.

Repaid at Last.


From the Kansas City (Mo.b joufnai
In western Kansas there is a well-known
politician who has q brother In Montana.
A number of years ago this Montana
brother borrowed $3.50 from his Kansas
kinsman, and up to a very recent date mad
neglected to pay it back. During the near
ing of the Clark bribery case before the
United States Senate there was some tesu-
mony which indicated that the Montana
brother, who is 4 member Of the state SEN
ate, had received $4,000 from one Of the
agents of Clark. When this came to the
knowledge of the Kansas brother he wrote
to the Montana brother as follows:
Kan, March IL, 19Oo.
NV Dear Jim: I see by the papers that
Won are alleged 10 have received $4,000 for
voting for Senator Clark If 1t is true
suppose you must be in funds, and l wish
YOU would send me that $3.50 Wouldn't

By almost return mail the Kansas man
received the following reply:
HELENA. Mont, March %, 1900.
Dear Robert: 1 inclose you draft on New
York for, the $3.50. You must forgive me
for not sending 1t before 1 have tried to
spare it for several years back. but never
was able to get that much ahead. Love to

Three years in Leavenworth- cried Mrs.
Malone. Three years-well well! Did ye

a thing will be forgotten in three years,
Holmes"
But Holmes was already striding away
through the gathering dusk.
Holmes turned his back on the post and
strobe out across the bluffs toward the
river For long long time now he had
been used to take these solitary evening
walks, rain or shine, to tire out the pas
sion in his breast. Scared, alone IN the
world since he remembered anything, he
had never loved a living thing until now,
and having loved with all the might of a

way-out of the way-out of the way. The
words sang in his ears. 1t gave him a

nothing but contemptuous pity. He was
out of the way. His bewitching music. his
big brown eyes. his slender, graceful form
would be heard and seen no more. That
| fancy would be forgotten, and he dizziness
| would have another chance. So unused the
| sergeant and the devil of bitterness grad
ually gave place to the angel of hope, and
| at last by the bank of the river he came
upon the girl. She was lying in the grass,
| her face buried in her arms, her black hair
| loose and her whole form shaken with
great sobs.
Holmes dropped on one knee beside her
| and dared, in his agitation, to lay his hand
! on her head.
| Katy" he said. Katy, dear!'
| She sprang up: her great black ewes
CLEANED angrily on him; she clenched her
| hands.

| Cant you leave me alone? l hate you.
