CLUB
CARSON LADIES TALK OF.
FChMiNG ONE
Too Much Duck Shooting by
the Husbands

this city, and it's to be womans
club. where the men>a to be left |
outside. The reason for this action
on the part of the ladies of this city,
is the Capitol Hunting and Fishing
Club, Oh the shores Of beautiful Was
hoe lake. where a number of the |
young, married and some that are sin
gle put in peaceful Sundays after the
style of Grover Cleveland, and bring !
home the toothsome duck.
It has been the habit OF number OF
The young benedicts to leave this city |
Saturday afternoon and return the fol !,
lowing day. A number of the boys |
have noticed the peculiar reception |
they have received Of late upon their
return, and the truth has leaked out
that the ladies Of the families are
about to organize and form an anti
duck c,.lb, with the object OF preser-
ration of game and husbands, as their
mark of aim.
A number Of married ladies met the
other day and talked the matter over.
The first to breach the subject was
Mrs. g., wife OF one Of the prominent
young men.
! Ladies' she said, Il believe in ny
husband having a good time, but this
Mud Pond Club that is going on ey-
cry Sunday, IS played out. It's funny
that every time he goes out, the next
day he can hardly keep awake, and
for the past three trips some one has
stolen his ducks-I was glad Of that,
for l just hate picking ducks, and
for one am getting pretty sick Of the
business.
At this juncture Mrs. D., another
indignant little woman spoke up.
Nov girls, l have worked good rem
!edy on my husband. Re comes home,
and when he does. l treat him with
such GOODNESS that he thinks he has
. fallen over board into an ice pond.
just keep it up fer a day or two, and
every time he mentions club house,
!, just freeze up and he concludes he
has business at home"
! MrsC another lady who has put up
! with a duck hunting husband for ten
!, years, grew indignant. I've got q
great remedy" she said. Il have fig
ured out that every time my husband
goes out. that his ducks cost him or
an average OF about 81 a mead, and
sir ply go down town and order some
thing for the same value. II he has
ten ducks, then a SO shirt waist is
mine and so on Once ne brought
e home twenty ducks, and looked SC
q guilty, that l didn't have the hear
20 punish him to that extent. so | jus
ordered a new hat that only cost SIS
L and he hasn't brough over two bird
} home since, and his trips to the lak'
are pretty far between
Then Mrs. II. took swing at he
husband. She said: Now. there i
my husband. you ell know that he he
70 business at that lake. His bus
ness keeps him up nearly all nigh
anyway, end every chance he has, OF
o. he goes to the club. I don't approx
: Of it and l think that we wome
= should take hand in the matter an
q. see that we have a club that wi
le straighten this matter out"
w BY this time Mrs. T., aching to pu
in word, snapped her eyes and said
- Hum. it makes me tired there is N
"a husband; he is always cOmplainin
Re about his work at the Office, but
as notice he has time to sneak off to til
lake every time the wind blows, an
y according to his story, it's pretty har
rs work in the mud and water. At an
of rate, all he does when he comes hon
m IS to tell me of the good things tn:
the club cook feeds the men on, an
ne complains the rest of the evenir
of sour stomach from the rich thins
he eats. Ny cooking may not be :
,r+ good as that at the club, but it dor
give him dyspepsia and that is &c
oi- tain. l, for one, am mighty tired
ho ri, Nd .,icb hot old lob
er- dry up, so there"
IN. About this time Mrs. M. had h
say. IF there is one thing on ear
as that hate, it is Washoe lake and tn
he club house. Just the minute the vii
blows, away goes my husband.
tn lakes a couple of dollars worth
provisions with him, keeps a hor
: for the purpose, and then tips
cook. He never has time to 90 wa
ing up the track with me on Sund.
but it's off to the lake. The worst f,
sure is that when he comes home,
IS Sc tired that he simply tells me
the good things he had to eat a
es' goes to sleep while 1 am talking
inc him. l am mighty sick of the cl
me and the lake. and I hate the name
vor ducks"
Mrs.R., who was hstenig attenti
o"i iy, spoke up: Now, there's my b
band; he is a perfect f1end on Il
red Jake; be wasn't satisfied until the
;,o lake made him sick in bed, and he
been sick ever since he got out
DC Cor one believe that there is no c

Tho young lady friend who is going
marry, I'll warn her to first inq,
vas il he shoots ducks; If he does,
on should break up the match. and
feet help her. That's my opinion of
whole thing"
About this time, the Appeal n
in company with one of the
hunting husbands. came out Of
