THE HISTORY OF HUNTING.

The recent newly awakened ia
terest in the life and times OF King
Alfred, due to the celebration Of
the thousaudth anniversary Of his
death and the placing OF statute
at his birthplace, has resulted in
some interesting information on the
evolution of the sportsman. one
may see, by reviewing the customs
and conditions Of Alfred's time,
how it was that hunting came to be
regarded as the noblest Of all
amusements. 1t was absolutely
necessary to the safety and welfare
of the people that the wolves,
bears, wild boars, and other dan
gerous animals which then roamcd
over England, should be eXtermi-
mated; and, of course, the king
and his knights, as the braycst and
best armed of the lighting popula-
ton, were setting good example
and doing good service in their
hunting parties. These conditions
continued for some hundreds of
years and the nobility of the sport
of hunting because firmly estab
lished and hedged about with many
traditions as to the proper method
of killing the game. The persist
ence of traditions in England is
proverbial; and hence, after the
whole country become as safe as a
barnyard, people continued to
suppose that there was something
essentially courageous and fine in
deer stalking and grouse-shooung.
The question now confronted by
the intelligent American citizen is
his; whether it is necessary for
new country to take over the ideas
and conventions of its parent on
this subject Are We to consider q
man a sportsman because he kills
rabbits and pigeons, as mis- father
killed bears and panthers Is the
man who takes his sport with rod
and gun more manly or brave than
the one who arms himself with
camera or microscope ? The
Englishman would probably say
yes, because he vas brought up to
believe so.
The fact seems to be however
that mere ability to go popping
about with a gun does not cous,i-
tute craftsmanship. The old-time
huntsman, encountering stag at
bay with the primitive weapons Of
his day certainly did need TO be
brave; his modern prototype. armed
with a repeating rife, is generally
safe; the animal is the one who
needs courage The idea that thcre
is some peculiar manliucss jn shoot
ing harmless animal, is, lel us hope,
vanishing Illusion.

William Allen, who will be
hanged December II, 1901, for the
killing Of Hiram McMillen at
Wynneworks last summer, was seen
in his sen by News Standard
representative and spoke very
freely abou. his approaching fate.
He was FIRST asked how he enjoyed
his dinner and he replied, "l'ine,
I ge, turkey often"
lie was smoking a toby and feel.
ing good he said. When asked if
he had prepared himself to meet
his God he said he had not but
was going to begin that day to do it.
He said that everything had been
done to save his life, that he rca-
lied that the end was near at hand,
and he intended TO begin at once
to prepare 10 meet his Greater. a
few christian ladies of Uniontown,
he said, made several visits to pray
with him, thinking, as they told
him, that they knew him, but when
they found out that they did not
know him their visits ceased. He
seemed very much affected over
their conduct, and expressed him
self quite freely, saying that if they
were true christians it ought not to
make any difference to them
whether they knew him or not.
The Salvation Army officers have
interested themselves in him and
visit him, and through them he
expects to be brought to repen-
lance He says he will do all they
bid. 81 have resigned to my fate, "
he said, "and when the day of
execution arrives will be prepared
to meet my God"
He did not deny shooting on that
night, but said that he had trouble
before the shooting occurred, and
was apprehensive Of further trouble,
but says he is not guilty of murder
in the first degree. When the
shooting occurred he said it was in
the dark; ne could not see where
he shot, nor did ne see anyone to
shoot at. The first he knew Of
anyone being shot was when he
heard someone exclaim, ooh. "
He knew then someone was shot.
lie went to see who it was and
could find no one, and still then
did not know for sure that any
person had been shot
He was asked if he desired to
convey any word through the press
to his friends regarding the future
conduct taking his life as an
example, and he replied that he
had nothing to say on that subject.

With the aid of Senator McLaur-

Democrat until the time ap-
proaches for the Presidential con
vention when he will declare himself

party the President has practically
reorganized the Republican ma
chimes in North and South Carolina
and the former members, who were
under obligations to Senator Hanna,
are now out in the cold. The reor-
ganization process has just begun
in Alabama but no opportunity will

true of Texas where Mr.. Roosevelt

This means that the government
receives in sugar duties approx
mately $40, 900, 900 but, as this duty
enables the domestic producers to
charge as much for their sugar as
the imported sugar costs with duty
added, it also means that the con-
sumner pays into the pockets of the
domestic producers $50, 900, 900
a year for sugar in order that the
consumer pays a total of SIS, 900, =
600 year for sugar in order that
the government may receive a rev.
enue of slightly less than $40, 900, =
900. These figures show how far
Republican plutocratic tendencies
have carried the party since the
period, some ten or twelve years
ago, when the Republican war-cry

"Has President Roosevelt been
playing an extremely clever game of
politics ?" That is the question
which in Washington has taken
precedence of all others and beside
which economic problems, com
mittcc appointments and local APP
preparation trades" pale into in
significance. No one ever suspect
ed such thing until congressman
began TO arrive for the session and
then general conditions revealed
such an extraordinary concatena.
ton OF condolences CD that it
simultaneously dawned upon a num-
Der of people that the young gen
tlcman in the White House had
been perfecting an organization
preparatory to the 1904 convention
with a degree of political skill
which no one ever suspected that
he possessed.

said Republican Senator "The

made appointments and turned

The facts on which "the discov-
cry" is based are as follows 1t is
held that at his recent visit to the
White House, Senator Quay was
lead to pledge himself to the sup
port of the President and that is
what has produced Governor Stones
dlssafiection, because the Governor
believed that Mr.. Roosevelt would
prove so erratic politician as to
entirely disrupt the organization of
bis party and so render his nomina-
ton for a second term impossible.

As l have already pointed out in
these letters, Mr.. Roosevelt has
secured pledges from Governor
Odell of New York and May
or elect Low of Greater New
York. 1t is true he has lost all
chance Of support from Senator
Plat but it is doubtful if he ever
possessed any.
