WARNING FOR DEER HUNTERS.
One Rule That Would Save Many Lives Of
Hunters In the Woods.

The season Is at hand when inexperienced
or rash persons going into the woods with
high power rifles in their hands see some
thing brown moving between the trees.
sight at it, FIRE, hear it fall and thrash around
among the leaves, and, going forward to
cut the throat Of deer, find dead man,
1t is remarked by guides that whereas
an inexperienced person shooting at deer
under such circumstances will miss it %
times out Of 100, he will plug human being
every time, making a centre shot. There
was long list Of these deplorable accidents
last autumn, and there Is little sign that
they will be any fewer this year.
Various remedies have been proposed,
but none Of them has proved effective.
There Is, however, one rule which should
be impressed upon the attention Of these
folk and impressed again. 1t Is: Never
shoot until you know absolutely what you
are shooting at.
That rule should be posted in every camp
OF the Adirondacks and in the woods every
where. 1t should be dinned into the ears
of visitors. 1t should be repeated to the
guides night and morning. By dint Of
much repetition II might come in time to
work the needed reform.

An instance Of this kind occurred not long
ago, when q negro fisherman Of the mouth
OF the Brazos River, on the Texas coast.
was knocked from his skif by tarpon
and never came up after he sank.
In this river, three years ago, low.
sitting tug was running toward the Old
harbor Improvement works, mile out

leaped on the forward part Of the deck The
fsh was rushing toward the boat at great
speed when it leaped, and the impetus
carried it nearly across the deck before
II fell to the planking.
When curving downward it struck an
iron stanchion nearly an inch through.
and It bent this stanchion several inches
out OF true. The fish was killed by the i'm
pact.
In the summer Of 1902 George Samson,
g Greek fisherman, was trying tor reddish
in Matasorda Bay, also on the Texas coast
He hooked tarpon and brought It to
the boats edge without trouble, though
II was . big hsh. His skin had only six
inches of freeboard and he was using

When the fab got near the boat II gave

rate Samson was dragged thirty feet ftom
the boat and drowned there. His body
was found attached TO the boat by the
line; the tarpon had escaped.
The speed OF the tarpon is Tremendous.

see clearly. Individuals are sometimes

DEER AND MOOSE IN MAINE.
Chances for Sp0rtsmen to Sheet Ganil

Chances for Sp0rtsmen to Sheet Game
with Camera n They FAN with Gun.
NoRcRoss, Me-. Sept. 2s.-The outlook
for the hunting in Maine is very bright.
There are plenty Of fat deer running wild
in all the woods, enough for every hunter
to shoot at and kill. and enough to leave
over for replenishing the stock for next
years shooting.
Owing to years Of hard hunting. the ami
mails are shy and hard to get at; but any
man who will 60 into the northern woods Of
Maine and stay there week should have
no trouble in getting his legal allowance OF

Concerning moose there is q conflict
OF opinion. Some woodsmen and hunters
believe that the animals are becoming
extinct from too much hunting in the open
season, and too much lawless shooting In
cloee time.
There are many young bulls from to
years OF age, still alive and ready for the
hunters; but those who hope to secure
aged mples with huge antlers will have to
70 far. hunt long, and then stand good
chance Of meeting with disappointment.
Ten years ago the man who wished to eat
some moose steak of his own shooting could
do 30 by putting out less than 500. Last
year the cost Of such luxury had risen to
more than 500. and this year the expense
will be still greater.
Should visitor seek to kill bears he
crn find them in a'mcst any up-river or.
char d., and will stand good chance OF
shooting few II he makes his visit before
the windfa apples are all gone. The
scarcity OF berries in the woods has
driven the bears out to the towns along
the margin Of the orests, and more big
and fat bears have been shot and trapped
this season than for the last ak years.
Partridges aye scarce and in poor con-
dition. Rae coons abound among all hard.
wood growths. and from now on until
the corn is housed and husked they may
be had for the trouble Of passing a night
in the woods with the dogs.

DON'T DEsPIsE THE MUD HEN.
In Spite OF Common Notion, They Afford
Good Eating and Gosd Shooting.

Good Eating and Coed shooting.
1t ia fashion among good many sports

called mud hen. 1t does not feed on mud.

it can get any other sort Of dampness to
live In.
It 10 . grain-feeding bird, very fond Of
wild rice, will eat duck grass and such
things. and prefers just such food a. the
mallard loves. 1t u good eating, when prop
erly prepared. and very good shooting.
II Ii not uncommon to see man who has
talked good deal about the slowness Of
the mud hen get into boat, go out on a
lake and flush and miss a dozen Of them
The fact il that the big coot has an appear

up some time In getting OF the water. but
1t u going always q good deal faster than it
seems to be going and speeding down wind
it is at least as hard to centre and stop as
many Of the ducks sawbills, for instance,
or spoonblls, or gadwells.
It Ia hard TO account for the prejudice
against the mud hen. II has fshy flavor

ducks In similar straits.
At this season, when making It's way
down from the north, using woods lakes
for stopping places and winding down with
the big rivers, II lives on wild rice almost
wholly, and II has delicate and delicious
flavor. There 10 always q chance that
mud hen has besn feeding upon fish. because
there Ia always chance that II has been on
short commons somewhere, 80 II u better TO
skin il a. matter Of precautioD, but IL 10
