good bag after day of furious and con.
slant tramping; south of Maryland they
will expect two, three or four times as
many if the eyes and nerves are true.
There are few men who, shooting all day
in open and cover, can bring back half
as many quail as empty shells; one bird
to three empty shells is good average
through the season.
North OF Virginia the birds are not shot
legally after December and in New Eng
land Nov. 30 closes the season. In the
South shooting continues all Winter, of
ten to April /. The plentiful supply OK
birds and the freedom from long stretches
of snow and killing cold allow this.
When these dreary. frozen days are at
hand, the quail, all educated and lusty as
he is, must look to it for his larder and
his life. A covey huddling under the ever.
green's with foot or so of snow lying,
will keep alive and warm surprising
length of time. But suppose a crust forms
over their heads and imprisOns them for
days? Even if they break through it
there is but little strength or opportunity
to dig up a livelihood from under the icy
armor of the earth. Then your bird-hun-
ter sallies forth, with store of wheat and
corn to be sprinkled near the Winter
haunts of the birds. And when they learn
that his mission is a friendly one, after
some feelings they run to meet him, chirp-
ing, and then you would like to possess the
gold that would tempt that man TO hurt

A PRAIRIE CAVERN.
An Interesting Hole in the Ground Where
Caves Would Not Be Looked For.
oklahoma State Capital)

At spot II miles southeast of Sulphur
Springs, Indian Territory, in tile level
prairie upland is an opening about 40 feet
i'll diameter and TO feet in depth. By
clinging to its rocky and precipitous walls,
a person may descend to the bottom, and
there find the openings to the two caves,
one leading westward, and the other to
the east. For years this place has been
known as Rock Prairie Cave. 1t is one of
tie most striking natural curiosities in the
Chickasaw Nation. The caves are of un-
known length, and through one rushes a
subterranean stream of great depth in
places and of icy coldness. Exploring
parties have ventured into these labyrinths
for hundreds of yards. but the danger of
becoming lost has prevented thorough
examination of the underground passages.
The cave leading westward is easiest of
access and contains q number of spacious
chambers. The room is about 20 feet
square and 80 feet from the floor to the
ceiling. The floor is Obstructed with huge
powders. The darkness and stiffness are
intense. Picnic parties sometimes go there,
and with a large bowlder for table, eat
their lunch in the glare OF torches that cast
uncanny shadows along the massive walls.
Timid persons hesitate in venturing into
the depths of the eastern cave. The pas
sage slants downward at an angle that
cOmpels the explorer to crawl and slip and
slide for nearly 100 feet before reaching
u spot where a person may stand upright
and walk safely. From the darkness
echoes the sound of rushing water, which
later is found to be a stream that runs
from eight to 80 feet in width, and from
six inches to many feet in depth. Men
have waded in the stream until the water
reached their chins, and then gone in a
boat to points where they We're unable to
touch bottom with the longest oars. A
farmer carried his boat into the cave sew
eral years ago to follow the stream to its
end. At depth estimated to be 200
feet below the surface of the ground is
a natural bridge formed by Il huge stone
that fell across the stream. The water
plunges underneath this bridge like mill
race. \ boat can be pulled over the
bridge, however. and launched on the other
side. About 100 feet below the bridge
the stream widens into Il broad deep pool,
with high vaulted roof. Beautiful stalag-
mites and stalactites adoru this chamber.
Two hundred feet below this pool the pas
sage is difficult 1t is claimed that this
cave has been explored for mile.

An officer of the Signal Service did moth

the morning we charged out of the in
trenchments at Caloocan and captured the
Filipino defenses before Malabon. A more
peaceful and lovely morning never was
seen. 1t was splendid day for Sun

event. The photographer set his instru-
ment on its tripod on the crest of our
trench and focused it upon the wide rice
field over which we were to advance to
the attack. There it stood for an hour
while he waited the supreme moment that
would give him a picture of actual war.
Finally the order to advance came, and
he sprang to the top of the trench bulb in
hand to be ready to make Il snap when he
saw just what he wanted. In half min

trench and began to advance towards the

FREE TO EVERYONE.
A Priceless Book Sent Free for the Askin,

A Priceless Book Sent Free for the Asking.
''There are books and books;;" some edi-
flying, others entertaining, and still others
instructive. The average man is SO busily
engaged in thes labor of money making
that he has littld time and less inclination
for books which instruct; hence when he
feels out of sorts, either he gives no heed
to Natures warning, or he cOnsults ply
sician, at an expense which little know
ledge would have enabled him to avoid.
There is probably no complaint upon
which the public Is so little informed as
hemorrhOids, ore piles; this little book
tells all about their nature, cause, and
cure; it treatstof the different forms of
blind, bleeding, itching and protruding
piles, describes their symptoms, and points
the way to cnre so simple and inexpen-
sive that anyone can understand and ap-
ply. The importance of prOmptness and
thoroughness is vital, for the disease will
not cure itself, md Nature, alone, unaided,
will not accomplish a cure, while the con-
sequences are too painful for detailed de-
scriptiOn. You are told how piles orig
mate, the reason for their appearance usr-
ally being that some Of the rules of correct
living have been violated, and (what is
more to the point how you may rid your
self of this bane of human existence. All
affections of the rectum are treated in sim
pie plain language. so that all may under
stand and learn how the cause may be
removed. Many people suffer from piles
because after trying the numerous lotions,
Ointments and salves that are on the mar
ket, without relief, they come to the con-
clusion that surgical operation is the
only thing left to try, and rather than
submit to the shock and risk to life Of an
operation, prefer to suffer on This little
book tells hOm this may be avoided, and
cure be effected without pain, inconven-
fence or detention from business. Write
your name and address plainly on postal
card, mail to the Pyramid Drug Co., Mar
shall, Mich, and you will receive the book
