IS DOOMED
Noted African Explorer Says He Causes More Deaths Annually
 Than Lion and Leopard Together.
The hippopotamus is doomed.

The l1ppOpOLAuu us IS uOOIQ0Q.
 The regulations drawn up some time ago to control big game hunters in the Soudan are to be revised shortly, and the "hippo''-whose hunter and killer was taxed when the Soudan was first opened up-the 's1ippo,". as aforesaid, Is doomed to "a sort of" extermination.
 Because said Sir Harry Johnston, the noted African explorer, in conversa- tion, fits all very we'll for people to talk about extermination in regard to the hippo but it will prove very diff ficult matter to get rid of him. There are vast marshes in Africa to which he can and will resort, and from which heAwill only be driven at last by a well-organ- Iized, well-equipped and determined body of men.
 T am perhaps little fanatical with regard to the preservation of lower ami mai life," went on Sir Henry, ''but I should not carry my passion for it so far as to let a lion loose in England. And the hippo in the rivers of Africa is as dangerous as the lion would be on dry Hand. Let the lion alone, and he lets you alone-especially has he a terror of a white men's face-but the hippo causes mere deaths annually in Africa than the lion and the leopard together. He constantly attacks boats from which he has received no offense, killing or mauling their occupants, and he destroys fields and gardens by the score. What he does not eat he sits on."

WILD FOWLS WINTER HOME.
Southern Louisiana Is Their Favorite Haunt During the Winter
 Season.

Southern Louisiana is the winter home of tens of thousands of all sorts of ducks and geese which make their way down along the Atlantic coast by way of the great lakes and the Missis- sippi river. says Outing. When far down a big detachment of the birds swings westward over Texas and goes to the southwestern coast of that state, between Corpus Christi and Browns vile. Many of the flyers which escape the guns of hunters in the Dakotas go to the same place. Yet Louisiana con- tinues to receive it's share. Certainly no finer shooting of the kind is to be had anywhere in the world than in the rich country which lies below New Orleans and extends westward to the Sabine river. Not only ase big bags to be made, but they are made in com parative comfort, there being no freez- ing temperatures to encounter, and they consist of pretty nearly every va riety of duck known to American orni- thology.
 There in a winters shooting a man may learn the looks and habits and disposition and flights of them all. Whether he becomes g. good shot or not will depend upon the way nature fash toned him. An old dog-Latin sentence has it that Reading and writing may be bought of the schoolmaster, but a crack shot is the work of God" He will, at any rate, become an informed tucker, able to talk of ducks interest ingly, and tell most men things about them. Canvas-backs, red-heads and mallards, pintails, widgeons and gad- wells, blue-tails, butter-balls and teals, wood-ducks. squealers and sawbills, auskies and a dozen others are there, and even the beautifully marked "south-southerly," from Chesapeake bay, goes down sometimes to mingle its soft notes with the more raucous voices of it's cousins. A man may not kill individuals of all of these varieties in a day, because they inhabit differ ing water and use differing feeding grounds, but it will not be uncommon for him to get back to camp after an evening shoot with six or eight kinds in his pockets. One of the strangest things about wild fowl is the manner In which they have borne up against the continued assaults by continually improved weapons.

"NINTEY AND NINE"

Ramsay Morris's melodrama, 1.-The Ninety and Nine," will have single berformance on Thursday evening at Polps. but from the interest the play has aroused it ought to pack the the lter.s on that occasion.
