LITERARY NEWS AND NOTES.

After losing the fortune made by
llfe's work and then setting out to make
a new one at the age when most men
are retiring, Mark Twain has bought a
summer home in Tarrytown, New York.
The place has 10 acres high ground over
looking the Hudson. The price was
$4,000
An attractive feature of the April
Atlantic is Mr.. Paul G. Huston's paper
on The Days Work of Forester.
Among the newer sciences forestry is
conspicuous for its singular union of
practical utility and aesthetic charm.
Mr. Huston, who is practical forester,
has written with authority on this sub
Ject, While his paper has peculiar dis
JUNCTION by virtue of his quick sense of
the lntlmacleS of Nature, and it's wealth
OF poetic allusion. Forestry, he says, is
really the science of conservative lum-
berlng, and he details at length, and
most interestingly, the needs of our
forests, the policy of the Bureau, the
methods OF survey; and the manner of
working and living among the foresters.
BY the intelligent handling of our for
ests, the ruthless slashing and rough
destruction which now characteriZes
American numbering will cease and our
forests will be cultivated to produce
perpetual woodland.

largely over open lands. making 1t clean,
untrammeled sport, with not as much need
as there is in the north for forcing ones
self through the woods and rambles to
follow frightened coveys.
Another shooting that is feeling the eff
feet of game laws is the wild fowl shoot
ing along the sounds and inlets of the
coast from Chesapeake capes to Florida.
Especially is this the case in and
Pamlico sounds, where the water birds are
protected by all sorts of laws. One law
actually prohibits men from sailing or row.
ing over the waters of Currituck sound Oh
Sunday for the purpose of locating wild
fowl for shooting on any future day. There
are laws covering shooting from batteries,
shooting with any sort of big gun or other
hrearm except a gun held to the shoulder
laws prohibiting killing OF birds before
dawn and after dark, laws covering shoot
ing from any moving boats not anchored,
laws providing even for the exact mode
of anchoring and the distance from shore
where such %anchoring shall be done.
Currituck, Albemarle and Pamlico sound
waters, often present wonderful sights in
the season when the wild fowl begin to ar
rive there during their southern flight
1t is possible at times to see thousands
of birds, big and little, swimming, diving
and flying wherever one may look over the
water. Wild fowl of every kind, from the
great wild swan to the tiny butter bal
duck, from herons to the most diminutive
of the snipe family, pitch into those glor-
ious water hunting grounds.
Florida, hard hit for a time by the
feather and plume hunter, has improved
game laws now and the Federal Lacey
act helps it in its work. In addition, rail
roads and road improvement have given
access to tracts that were not to be reached
a few years ago, except by long, slow jour
neys. There is a good deal OF deer shoot
ing in the state. The deer are not large
but they are shy and wise enough to make
hunting a true sport. Occasionally a pan
Their can be bagged in the swamps and
thickets. Alligator skin hunting nearly
cleaned that reptile out a few years ago
but lately there has been an opportunity
for fun.
The alligator isn't a game animal, but
his pursuit is as exciting as most ordinary
s%portsmen can wish. The alligator may be

he finally makes his stand the hunter must
go in boldly and make a distinctly personal
matter of 1t.
Canebrake bear hunting is the exciting
sport. The yelping bear dogs are trained
to hang just close enough to a bear to
make him run and still to keep just far
enough away so that he cannot reach them
when he turns in his recurring attacks
of rage. After they have started him go
ing the hunters can hear the crashing of
the cane and the splitting and tearing of
underbrush as the big, black chap pounds
his way through. When a bear, thus set
to running, comes down her 7long on a
man in the canebrake 1t means quick shoot
ing and good shooting. Old Man Bear Is
red hot and he means to destroy every
thing from a bush to a man that stands in
the way OF his escape from those dogs.
The bear lives in cover too thick to per-
NIT hunting on horseback. But for that
the chase of this fierce old game would
have been one of the standard field sports
of the southerners long ago. They try to
hunt nearly all other kinds OF southern
game and beasts on horseback.
A southerner rides on horseback to shoot
quail. He courses wild turkey on horse
back. He hunts deer and wild pigs, foxes
and rabbits on horseback. His one sor-
row is that alligators cannot we'll be
hunted on horseback. 1t is the only draw
back to the pursuit OF this hard shelled
southern animal.
Shooting hardly entered into hunting as
defined by the old-time southern sports
man. His hunting was the chase almost
exclusively. But now that he has become
a devotee of the shotgun, his enthusiasm
for the sport Of wing shooting is as keen
and his regard for the finest points Of the
game is as perfect as they ever were for
hunting on horseback. Consequently the
game gets a fair chance and will get a bet
ter chance still in years to come through
out the south.
Quail wintered so well last season and
a succeeding excellent grass season gave
them so much fine cover and food during
Matching time that many second broods
were raised, thus doubling last years quail
supply in many sections, notably through
out east Tennessee.
Owing to the vast spread Of the old plan
tation, the wing shooting for quail Is
Omaha daily bee., 1902-11-09

hunted in day or night time. Each form
has it's own peculiar attractions.
In the day time, he may be "stalked'
and shot with a rifle as he lies on a bank
or bar; or the shooter may go in a canoe
which is padded softly toward the reptile
until the hunter is close enought to use
a shotgun with effect.
Night hunting for alIigators is one of
the weirdest forms of American sport. The
canoe glides softly over coal black SYater,
with heavy trees hanging over the banks
and everything lost in gloomy mystery. A
lantern with a strong reflector is carried.
The dazzle of it makes a drifting or swim
ming alligator hesitate just long enough
to provide a good chance for a shot. Some
times the lantern is affixed to the bow Of
the boat. Sometimes it is alike to the
front of the sportsman's hat, so that its
beam of light shines straight in the direc-
tion of the line of aim.
This method of night hunting is known
as shining" If the gator is asleep when
the shine falls on him, he will glare
stupidity at it for a moment or two be-
fore he is awake fully enough to get away
into the darkness. Then is the time to
shoot. The shotgun is most used for this
kind Of hunting and the charge is sent into
the Joints between the head and shoulders.
One of the exciting stages of alligator
hunting is after the beast has been hit.
AS a dead alligator sinks almost at once, it
is necessary to get hold of him quickly.
Sometimes it happens that the creature
has not died as he should, and in that
case there will be vast trouble, a great
deal more interesting to read about than
to experience. A t~en-foot alligator, hurt
grievously and crazy mad, a canoe that
remains right side up even under ordinary
circumstance only because the occupants
are lucky, a pitch lark bayou and black
water full of various undesirable reptiles,
from water moccasins to other alligatorsr
makes a combination equal to a frst-class
nightmare.
Many alligator-skin hunters in Florida
and the gulf states carry marks that ac>
crued to them because they made such a
mistake about the death" of an alligator.
stalking an alligator with a rife is a
pretty sport, especially If the hunter is a
blue blood and willing to call it a fair
deal only if he shoots the reptile through

Everybody knows about Florida fishing.
But not everybody knows that the men who
go there to catch big fish really do not
taste the finer degree OF sport with rod
and line. Estimating the quality of sport
by the hundred weight has a full pleasure
of it's own. But in recent years many
tarpon anglers, having caught their ton or
so of the great Silver King, have turned
with a sigh of relief to the light split bam-
boo rod and the thin line and find the
true sport in taking the smaller game
fishes Of the coast, with tackle so light
that it is an absorbing question as to
which end of the line will win.
Such fishing as casting spoon or bait
and sometimes the hy-for croakers, snap
pers and Spanish mackCrel is fishing that
can be eXcelled for real sport only by
extra good trout and black bass fishing.
When the splendid, flashing, brave-hearted
mackerel strike in" on a Florida beach,
the fishing is something to be remembered.
Running in undismayed schools that glitter
sometimes for miles; savagely hurting
themselves at the Dalt; ngntlng from the
first touch of the hook until they are
beached-they provide unblemished sport.
Another noble game fish is the barra-
couta-slim, wicked, a reincarnation of the
old pirates of the Spanish Main, he darts
along, blue and silver. So swift is his
dash that the eye cannot follow him even
in the clearest of water. The writer had
an experience in the Windward Passage
of the incredible swiftness of the barra-
couta. He was fishing in water so clear
that little fish and weeds fifty feet below
were clearly visible. He was watching his
baited hook, drifting about ten feet below
the surface, when a barracuda took it.
Yet, despite the fact that everything that
went on in the water was as visible as if
it were going on under glass, the fish was
so swift that before the eye could per-
ceive him the line was running out and
the fish was leaping on the surface.
West Indians fear the barracuda more
than they do sharks. Bathing places are
fenced in on many island beaches to pre-
vent the savage fish from reaching bathers.
They have been known to dash at swimmers
and bite off their toes and fingers clean.

ANOTHER RAILROAD STORY.

The Engineer of the Rock Is
land Railroad who has been maxi
ing a survey between West
Plains and Newport rec ommends
that the company build to Yell
vile. This looks very much as
if the Rock Island and Frisco are
going to consolidate and build a
line from West Plains to Newport,
and from Newport over the Morn
ing Star survey to Yellville, and
perhaps to Springfield. There is
no doubt that the Morning Star
enterprise is very live propo-
sition, but at this date no one
seems to know positively who is
behind the move. A road from
Newport to Springfield Mo-, on
the south side of White river and
by way of Buffalo, Yellville,
Dodd City and Lead Hill, would
pass through the richest belt of
mineral land in the world, and
also through very fine belt of
timber, marble and building
stone.-Yellville Echo.
