catch the chickens out on the stubble
is just before dusk, and on the first
alarm they take to the corn.
No game bird is dearer to the heart
of the true sportsman than what is
popularity known as the quail. Let the
savants of natural history dispute
whether he be quail or partridge. His
Bob White can be heard from one
end of the land to the other. One hard
winter with deep-crusted snow works
greater devastation among the quail
coveys than can all the men with dogs
and guns that take to the field. The
farmer boy who pots the quail when
they go to the stacks and barnyards
to feed is another enemy of the quail,
but he is among the evils against which
the law has interviewed and the sturdy
little bird must be killed in legitimate
sport or not at all. You can scarcely

YOU know their ways. II the weather

Lofty Lunar Mountains.

The height of the highest mountain
In the moon is nearly seven miles. The
Leibnitz range attains enormous alti-
tudes above the average level of the
moons surface, and are sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular curva-
ture of disc, thus destroying the circu-
lar contour and giving it notched or
serrated aspect. Several Of the peaks
of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet In altitude, while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height of $4,000 feet. All the chief
mountains of the moon which can be
seen from the earth with a telescope
have had their heights asoertained.
The German observers, Beer and Maed.
Ter, have calculated the height of no
fewer than 1905 lunar mountains. The
Doriel Mountains supply an instance
OF great elevation, the peaks of the
three leading ones being between %.
600 feet and 10000 feet high. Among
other. lunar peaks may be mentioned
Huyghens, 21,000 feet; Hadley, $4,000
feet; Bradley, $4,000 feet; and Wolf,
1000 feet.

he has deserted the ladies as entirely
as he has shed his pink coat; mighty
few petticoats are seen in these out
fits. There are few women who hunt
with their husbands but they are few
and far between. Woman doesn't take
naturally to the joy of the hunting
field, and, besides, when the chicken fe-
yer gets into mans bones, he hasn't
much use for the sex.
Hunting is a relic of savagery, and
the truly masculine man wants to get
off by himself when his fingers itch
for the feel of the shotgun. And yet,
queerly enough though woman does
not care for hunting, she admlres the
hunter immensely. TO her he repre-
sents the strong man, next to the sol
dier, and strength seems always good
in a woman's eyes. The man accepts
her admiration, but Whine he really en-
Joys her company at times on the ten
it ON fishing trip, he looks on petit
coats as decidedly out of place when
he starts out for the prairie or the
marsh. Perhaps this is the reason why
he gets himself up in costume in
which no woman would look at him
twice.
Long before MINISTRIES sang the glo-
ries of the chase, or courtly edict made
him master of the feast who first
struck the royal game, hunting was n
favorite diversion of our ancestry. Re-
searches that unyeil prehistoric man,
show him pursuing the sport of kings
with rude weapons of stone and flint.
From that time to this the deep-mouth-
ed bay of the hound and the winding
of the horn have been accounted Il
sweet music of the forest. Poets of
all times have caught its inspiration,
even the staid Jonson lauding it as the
loblest exercise, making one healthy,
active, courageous, self-reliant and free
from the evils that thrive where the
mind and Imagination have to supply
the pleasures of life.
And the blood Of the sportsman runs
as warm now as when some rude chief
tain or half-barbarous Diana led the
course. But 1t is not to the sentiment
or history of hunting that this article
addresses itself. Neither is it proposed
TO visit the haunts of the wild boar re-
served for imperial sacrifice, to follow
the hounds over the range within
which he is predestlned to give brave
men and fair women n holiday, nor to

ed sons of fortune find ready ut hand

How He Got His Name.

N!cknames, whether bestowed for pc
culiaritles of personal appearance or for
some incident in which the bearer had
part, are usually more characteristic
than those conferred at the baptismal

"Reminiscences of Oxford" tells how 3
former dean of Christ Church came to
be known as Presence of-Mhld'
Smith.
Going down to Nuneham with a COM

"Well?" cried his excited listeners.

Smith, calmly, land if l had not. with

1t Is a pleasure to know that the boat

Some Explanation of its Working By
Texan Abroad.
Some ten or more years ago, says a
man from Texas, we had occasion In
our town to send one of our prominent
citizens to England to look after some
business OF private character In
which he, with half dozen more of US,
was interested. He was bit raw, as
you might say In the East, but for our
purpose he answered admirably and we
showed him to the front and let him
loose among the effete inhabitants of
Britain. don't know what he didn't do
or say over there, for we could only get
information by hearsay, but an Ameri
Gun, who met him one night at club,
told us of a conversation which he had
heard on that occasion. There was
general talk on the subject Of the wild
and woolly manners of the southwest
and the Texas ideas of justice.
1--WE couldn't have anything like that,
don't you know, in this country" said
an Englishman.

"'Tain't your fault, though" con
soled the Texan; you can't expect to

know"
Its a good thing, | know" admit
ted the Englishman, "but yet | think
the system Is most defective. Judge
Lynch Is not always in the right"
II don't know about that" said the
Texan, shaking his head, doubtfully.
"Now," said the Englishman, conclu-
slvely, "are you prepared to say that
justice is always promptly administer
ed In this manner"
The Texan hesitated moment and
showed unmlstakable signs of failing
to uphold his cause.

said. Sometimes the rope breaks or a

with the game and sportsman of our
own country, where mountain,
meadow, stream and lake are accessi-
bic to all who keep within the laws
that are framed to perpetuate their
pleasure.
Among the wild ducks, as table de-
licacy, epicures that are connoisseufs
give the canvas-back place OF I'M
questionable supremacy. Conformity
with the toothsome terrapin it holds
the honor of comforting upon Baltimore
the title of gastronomic capital of the
nation. Though this idol of the edu-
Gated palate ranges the Atlantic coast
even to the ice-bound regions of the
north, the odds are overwhelming that
if it be shot outside of Chesapeake Bay
or the waters of the Susquehanna as
they open into it, the game will be so
tough and fishy as to be ordered away
when served. This Is through no pc
culiar virtue of the water in the bay
or tributary river, nor Is 1t the result of
climatic influence. In the shadows
there are found vast beds of wild eel
cry. Feeding upon it gives to the can
vas-back, and also to the closely re-
lated red-head, the exclusive flavor
which tickles the cultivated taste. AS
rule genuine sportsmen there shoot
from "blinds," which are any sort Of
artificial concealment in a boat or on
shore, and use decoys, while the mar
| ket gunners carry on their slaughter
with the aid of "sink boats and night
of destruction employed by those who
kill to sell there is little to attract the
sportsmen; statement that Is true
wherever water fowls are shot.
Belonging to the same royal family
| with the canvas-back are the mallards
and teal, found abundantly in many
States. No other ducks are so widely
and familiarly known as the mallard.
Before the opening of the spring they
begin their migration from the South,
flying swiftly while they travel, yet
tarrying wherever inviting conditions
present themselves until instinct as
sures them that their destination in the
far north is comfortably habitable.
Mallards are frequently found before
departing for the south reveling in corn
fields, grain stubble or wooded places.
The mallard never affords a dalntier
dish than when fattened from such
bases of supply. They are shot from
boats, over decoys and from blinds on
shore. The sportsman who can call
them is in luck, and he who knows best
the ways of the wary duck will bring
back the most game, for he can find it
In a snow storm, at the ice holes, in
the open water or at some of its haunts
on land.
The swlft-nying Teals, the blue-wing-
ed that comes in the earliest fall, and
the harder green-winged stays until
winter has positively asserted itself.
They are luxury on the table, but it

is an old saying that there is no use of

the keen sportsman brings them in.
There is the gaily-feathered Wood

named in passing. Be sure of your gun.
your Shells. your boat, your decoys,
your dog and whatever aids to game

Bagging the prairie chicken in these
days is a very difficult proposition from
the old-time easy shooting over dog
on the stubble-felds, and the man who
brings home birds has earned them.
The reason of this is that the prairie
chicken has adapted his habits to his
surroundings. No longer does he stay
in the stubble-fields, an easy prey to
man and dog. Nowadays he hides in
the cornfields, and it is no joke to find
chickens in corn six to eight feet high,
or to shoot them when found. The
best chicken dog that ever came to a
point Is practically useless in q corn
field, and when the covey gets up it's
much like taking a snap shot at a
woodcock in the tall brush. You've got
