A DUCK HUNTING TRIP
Ex President Grover Cleveland Says He is No Duck
Law Violater and Writes OF Ducks and
Duck Hunters.
(By Grover Clcveland.)

Is a provoking thing to miss a fair shot;
but to have your companion after you
have had your chance knock down the
bird by a long, hard shot makes one
feel somewhat distressed. This we call
"Wlping the eye" but l have always
thought the sensation caused by this oper-
alton justified calling 1t ~"gouging the
eye
We left for home after one more very
cold day spent in the blinds, with some
good shooting. Every one of the party
was enthusiastic IN speaking Of the pleas
ure our outing had afforded US, and all
were outspoken in the hope that our ex-
perlcnce might be repeated in the future.
Now, let it be observed that most prom
trent among the things hat had occupied
Us and were thus delightfully."- remembered
and among the experiences desired again
Ill the future, were the rigOrs and dis
comforts we had undergone in or shoot
ing. So tar as the goods things and the
comforts Of the club house itself entered
into the enjoyment of our trip, it would
be strange if they did not present great
allurement, for nothing in the way Of
snug shelter and good eating and drink
ing was lacking. 1t is not so easy, how
ever, to reason out the duck hunters
eaSeFne>S 10 leave q warm bed, morning
after morning, long before light, and go
shivering out into the cold and darkness
for the sake of reaching his blind before
daybreak-not to find there warmth and
shelter, but to sit for hours chilled to
the bone patiently waiting for the infrc-
quent shot which reminds him that he Is
INDUCING in sport or healthful recrea-
ton. Suppose that such a regimen as
this were prescribed in cold blood Us
necessary to health. How many would
think health worth the cost of such hard
ships?
THE DUCK HUNTER IS BORN-NOT
MADE"
Suppose the discomforts willingly en-
Gured by duck hunters We're required Of
employees IN an industrial establishment.
There would be one place where a condi-
ton of strike would be constant and
chronic. If it be said that the gratifica-
ton of bringing down ducks pays for all
the suffering OF their pursuit, the question
obtrudes Itself. how is this compensation
forthcoming in the stress of bad luck
or no luck, and how is it that the duck
hunting propensity survives all conditions
and all fortunes?
l am satisfied that there is but one way
OF those who hunt ducks and for then
steady devotion to their f~avorite recrea-
ion: The duck hunter is born-not
made.

Dear Sir: VIM you please state through

student of Trinity College, wish them to
know the position | took with reference

which act was done on the night OF De-

l want to go on record as one who was

and will say, in all candor, that I had
no part in, nor approved of the same.
l wish further to state that the said act

students being parties to, and totally re-

GOOD MEN WILL STAY.
Winchell Says Consolidation of Offices
Is Not Important.

The st. Louis Republic says:
E. J.. Winchell, vice president of the
Rock Island, was in the city yesterday
to attend the special meeting of the
board of directors of the Terminal as
sociation. Speaking of the rumors that
the Frisco and Rock Island would
unite in an effort to reduce expenses by
consolidating offices at important and
uniTnportant points, Mr.. Winchell said
that the policy of the systems would
not be on these lines, and retrenchment
of this nature would never be carried
out to the extent of causing capable
official to lose his position.
A family conference of freight and
passenger officials of the, Rock Island
Frisco systems was held in the offices
of the Frisco. It is stated that the OBJ
lect of the conference is to consider
measures for the curtailment of expen-
ses in several departments, as well as
to consider the means of carrying out
policy of consolidating offices at var
ious distant points on the systems
where the duties can be attended to by
one official representing both systems.
Those present at the conference were;
J. F. Holden, freight traffic manager
Rock Island; John Sebastian, passenger
traffic manager Rock Island; H. H.
Embry. general freight agent, Rock Is

agent, Rock Island; A S. Dodge, gen
