TURKEY HUNTING AN ART.
Wild Fowl Can Distinguish Marks Of
a Human Being.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

iVu Tue NulcaSo inter ocean.
The successful turkey hunter is probably
the most scientific sportsman in the world
He matches himself against the ecutest Of
all feathered things.
The turkey is not only gifted with extra
ordinary sight. hearing, wariness and alert
ness, but it knows the woods better than
any mere man can know them and IT has
distinctly the faculty OF causality or rea-
son. A turkey knows not only that the
appearance Of a certain part of the ground
Is not right but also why IL is not right.
1t VIII distinguish readily between marks
or passage made by a wild animal and a
human being. Negroes assert that Il can
smell powder, just as they believe that a
crow can smell powder, but there is no evil
dence that Its sense OF smell is specially de-
yeloped.
Its power of flight is not great, nor is Il
enduring on foot There are many animals
which prey upon il and can outrun it. 10
has had TO depend for preservation upon
lts intellect, and this intellect has come to
De remarkably developed.
The turkey is not hard to find and kin
when 1t is gobbling from a tree top in the
early spring morning, but the person who
goes after one later in the day must know
his business. 1t is sometimes taken in traps
MADE OF logs and rooted with branches
there being an entrance under the bottom
log. Once inside, having been tolled there
by parched corn grains ii travels around

1t is sometimes slain too by being led to
a shallow trench dug in the woods and
sprlnkled with parched corn, a N-shaped
blind having been prepared thirty Yards
away. IL shot, legitimately, however, ar
any time save at daybreak or when flyina
into its roost at night it must be called "a
the hidden gun, and in this the science OF
the hunter is made manifest.

Bad Sports in the Good Old Times.

From the London Globe.
Many Of the games which diverted our
forefathers have fallen not only into desue-
tude. but into a state Of oblivion. People
have vague ideas about bull batting and
cock fighting. but they know little Of the
many other sports which entertained their
ancestors. and which. by reason Of their
inhumanity. are not now countenanced by
sportsmen. A writer in Baily's Magazine
revives the memory OF some Of these games.
He quotes an advertisement which appeared
in 1862, announcing that, cat the king
bear garden at O'Clock in the afternoon
will be a horse ebaited to death of a most
vast strength and bigness, being between
eighteen and nineteen hands high" Then
We are told OF goose riding" a sport in
which live goose was tied by the feet
to a high rope stretched across the course,
where men rode at a gallop striving to
pull of the head Of the goose as they raced
underneath 1T. Pig hunting consisted in
turning loose pig with tail cut short and
we'll soaped. and then giving chase, the
winner being that man who could lay firm
hold OF the difdcult tail and keep the pig
prisoner. Cock throwing was game where
the unfortunate rooster. tethered by one
leg to the ground. was made the target for
broomsttcks thrown from a distance of
twenty-five yards. The article gives other
Instances. and it should be read by hui
mandtartans as a pleasant testimony to
the steadys civilization Of our popular En-
glish pastin1es.

VIEWS OF LOCAL BAR
Memorial Presented to the
President.
COMMITTEE RECEIVED
WHY A DISTRICT MAN SHOULD
WHY A DISTRICT MAN SHOULD
BE APPOINTED JUDGE.
An Impression Apparently Made Upon
the Chief Executive-Requirem
of the Position Demonstrated.

President Roosevelt this morning received
the committee-Henry E. Davis. chairman;
A. s. Worthington, John B. Larner, Henry
p Blair and Percival NJ Brown-appolnted
Thursday by the Bar Association Of the
District to lay before him the desire Of the
bar for the appointment Of a local man
to the vacancy on the Supreme Court
bench of the District caused by the death
of Justice Bradley.
The interview with the chief executive,
which took place in the library, was a
most satisfactory one. The President read
with care and evident interest the memo
rial presented and listened to the amplifica-
ton OF 1t by members of the committee.
Views of One of the Callers.
The committee at the conclusion Of the
Interview. felt that an impression had been
made on the President. One of them said:
1--WE believe that whatever may have been
pulling the President in the direction Of an
outside man has been offset by our state
rnent of the complex conditions in the Dis
trict necessitating and demanding local
man for the udgeship."
The President, 1t was stated, made abso-
lutely no promise and gave no suggestion
of his intentions. but the committee felt
are about as favorable to a local man as to
an outsider.
Mr.. Percival NJ Brown represented
! Charles A. Douglass on the committee. Mr..
Z Douglass wife fs i'll and he was thus pre-
vented from waiting upon the President.

He Is q Scot
From the London Daily News.

From the London Daily News.
Here is a true story OF a curious personal
ity well known to many professional men In
London today. He IS a Scot. whose busi-
ness ability lie above the average, but every
thing he does Is done with the air of a man
constantly wrestling with the problem of
the soul. He rarely speaks unless spoken
to. He never smiles. and his eyes have a
fixed but intense expression. One day he
was returning to London with several COM
panions. The whole party were Scottish.
but the rest laughed uproariously. Not so
the human problem. He sat in corner of
the railway carriage glowering at his mirth-
full friends Half an hour afterward, how
ever, when all were standing at a street
corner before separating, he took one aside
and said solemnly and slowly: .'Ye would
obsairve that didna' laugh at yond story.
Well, saw the joke. Ye might not think
It. but have keen sense Of humor."

That Mite Story.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
That story Of the widows mite does
more harm than good, believe" says a
church worker. who has seen the idiosyn-
cracies OF many good people. "The infer
ence that people draw from it Ii that there
Is virtue In mites. and they give mites from
their own abundance. forgetting that the
poor widow Of the Bible story gave all that
she had. am inclined to believe that this
must be one reason that church work Of all
kinds Is DO poorly supported. People give
generously everywhere before they renf1m-
Der the church. They expect to pay for
what they get everywhere outside, but in
the church they want to get as much az
they can for the least possible outlay"

Houston, Tex, May 1S.-Reports re-

indicate that the northern or western
portion of the town of Goliad has been
swept away by tornado and that from
so to 100 people have been killed.
The long distance operator at Hous-

o'clock. but beyond the fact that part
Of the town had been blown away and
that many people had been killed and
injured, no other particulars were OBJ

towns are close to the gulf coast and

The tornado was preceded by heavy

The people OF Goliad, realizing at once
the great calamity and the terrible loss

There is no doubt but that the citi-

confagration which, Saturday. wiped out
large portion of the towns residential
and business section, is not materially
changed by Sundays Investigations.
Seventy-five residences. % business places

townspeople. and merchants whose stoks
and places of business were wiped out are
already making preparations for replacing
the burned wooden structures with more
substantial brick structures. a new
street will be put through from Main to
Military street, and new residences will
soon be erected on the sites Of those de-
stroyed.
The citizens are full Of courage and
money with which TO carry out their re-
