said Edgar Wilson this morning. land
while there | saw man who once out
ran greyhound. heard the details
of the experience from the mans own
lips, and it was vouched for by a half
dozen residents of the park.
THE man was Fred Sprague, the
most popular ranchman in the park
and also the owner OF one of the finest
ranches. Sprague is a great character.
Every one is fond of him and every
one has implicit faith in everything he
says. His own story about the grey
hound is about as follows:
- was out with the dog hunting
deer and was beating about some
Quaking asp bushes when of sudden

there was none handy. About this time
the dog made up his mind that he
couldn't climb tree anyway, and de-
cided to light out.
"'You know the fiat top" is pretty

took one look at the bear and he was

passed him. For few seconds after

stones roll behind me and wasn't dead

dog and didn't slack up to see. / could

A NEW TERRAPIN FIELD.
Maryland Diamond Backs or Their
First Cousins Found in Louisiana.

A fishery which has been carried on
for half century along the Gulf coast
of Louisiana, altogether unnoticei and
known only to the fishermen them
selves, has suddenly acquired great
Importance owing to the discovery
that the things caught are either the
famous diamond-backed terrapin of
Maryland or their first cousins.
All along the Gulf Coast are small
sea terrapin. They are found on the
shore in the summer, but in winter
they crawl up into the swamp and
bury themselves in mudholes. They
vary in size, but the majority are
small-about as big as a Maryland
diamond-back
The fishermen have been eating
them for half century, but have kept
them for their own use. believing that
they were too small to be of any
value in the city market, where the
large green turtle of the West Indies
is the favorite. They never heard of
diamond-back terrapin in their lives.
Those persons who have gone down
among the fishermen to enjoy sport
and have lived with them have always
reported that they Jared rema rkably
well for people of their class, bat this
wa attributed to the fact, that most
of them, being Creoles or Malays,
were natural born cooks.
party of New Workers who went out
fishing in st. Bernard a few days ago
and stopped over at one of the camps
on Lake Borgne, were so surprised
at one of the dishes set before them
that they wanted to know just how 1t
was prepared and were told that they
were eating sea terrapin. An ex-
animation of the terrapin showed 1t
to be first cousin to the Maryland dia-
mond-back. They carried home
basket of these sea terrapin and liked
them so much that they sent back for
more.
The news soon leaked out that the
terrapin which the fishermen have
been eating for half a century because
they could not sell them were their
NEST valuable catch They have
sworn off from terrapin ever since and
are selling all they can fish out of
the mudholes with their tongs, and
getting what is to them a fabulous
sum, seventy-five cents and 81 apiece.
The fisherman who can find a mudhole
with 300 terrapin in it and sell them
at such figures is as lucky from his
point of view as a miner who finds
pocket of gold.
The sea marsh of Louisiana is of
immense extent and dotted with these
terrapin holes. The surface has been
merely skinned over as il were. for
the Fishermen were as surprised as
men could DE at discovering that the
terrapin were Of some value. 1t may
be that the supply is infinitely larger
than is suspected and that enough sea
terrapin will be found in Louisiana
to put diamond-backs within the reach
of people of moderate means.-Sun.

the officer, always prizes his ring

must never allow it to go out his DOS
