THE HUNTERS MONTH.
Loads of Large Game Being shipped
to the Cities-Friendly Cameras
Protect wild Life.

For a great part of the country the
hunting season has opened. In little
while one will begin to see in the papers
figures setting forth the amount OF
game shipped from each station on GER
tain railroads which reach the big
woods.
To sensitive persons, says the Youths
Companion, the numbers are appalling,
and the sights in the baggage cars would
be still more repugnant The carcases
of deer and of an occasional moose are
piled one above another almost to the
roof, and among them are many does
and fawns. Yet before the passage OF
adequate game laws the conditions were
worse. Deer were shipped by the
schooner load from Maine to Boston, and
birds by the barrel. There are still too
many-far too many-killed, but the
number is lessening.
Nature study in the schools and the
manufacture Of good cameras, which
can be sold at low price, have done
much to protect the lives OF animals.
Those stories of the woods which give
wild animals the attributes and feelings
of human beings may be- doubtless are,
poor science, but they are not bad NOR
ais. They do at least foster sympathy
and encourage an altruisuc magma
ton. To know the woodchuck intimate

Lincoln's eyes twinkled, losing for

the tavern in whirl of winter air.
He closed the outer door, made his
salutations with grace, and approached
the table where the money counters
sat. Lincoln deliberately filled the
snake skin, tied it's neck shut, and sat
with it in his large hands, pleasantly
returning the visitors greeting. The
tavern was free to all corners. Yet
AntyWlne at once stood up in front of
Peggy, his blond head towering above
the swart arrival.

HOLD-UP EASILY FOILED.
win N"Iuables in Left Hand PrOtec
ton Is Perfect-PIan Has Sane
ton of Police.

A man who carries his money and
his watch in his left hand will
never lose penny nor time
piece in a hold-up. The precaution
which is a perfect one, is so simple
that few people have thought of it.
Yet 1t has the sanction of the police,
and its efficacy has been proven in
more than one instance, says the Chi
cago Tribune
AS soon as the citizen is confronted
by the hold-up man he will, if he has
his money and his watch in his hand,
throw them on the nearest lawn or
into the ditch No highway robber has
time to stop and look for either There
is no sense in carrying valuabes In
the right hand, because the first move
of every accomplished hold-up man is
to grab his victim by his right arm.
The movement is made to prevent the
victim from reaching for revolver
The man who tries to draw a revol-
yer while The hold-up man is in front
of him takes his life in his hands. II
a citizen carries a revolver at all he
should carry it in his right hand while
in dangerous street. His money and
his watch should always be in his left.
Then after he had thrown them away
and the robber has departed discom-
flied the victim can take his time about
finding his property.
This simply plan discounts all the
revolvers, sword canes, slung5hots,
and brass knuckles ever invented and
has the added beauty that it can be
employed by a woman as well as a
man. To throw the purse or the watch
away takes but fraction Of second,

Though It is the popular idea that pub

is proof that the Anglo-Saxon kings OF
England were disposed to erect them

where sciences had been much earlier
cultivated than In Great Britain But
the invasion OF the Normans, says the
Chicago Daily News, stopped the spread

GROUSE is A CLEVER BIRD.
1t Evndcs the Hunter by Tricks That
Display It's Intelligence, Even
when Wounded.

The grouse has 100 tricks of defense
says Outing. 1t will sometimes lie
still until the hunter is within a yard
of it. then soar straight upward in his
front, towering like woodcock; again,
it will rise 40 yards away and the
sound of its wings is his only notice of
its presence. 1t will cover upon
branch under which he passes, and his
cap will not be more than a foot be-
low ii as he goes, and though it has
seen him approaching, it will remain
quescent in frightful fear until his
back is turned. 1t will flush then, and
when he has slowed himself hurriedly
around he will catch only glimpse OF
brown, broad wing far away.
Wounded and falling in the open, II
will be found-if it is found at all
with the telltale speckles of it's breast
against the trunk of some brown tree
against which its feathers are indis-
tinguishable, and the black ruff about
the neck of the male will be laid
against the darkest spot of the bark
Often it will double like a fox; often,
as man draws near, it will spring
noselessly into some spruce and hide
until he passes, dropping then to the
ground and continuing its feeding;
often, too, it will decline to take wing,
though unhurt, and will run fast for
half mile-so fast that the most expert
woodsman will be unable to keep pace
with it. This it will do only on leafy
ground and never when snow would
betray its tracks.
