'Taujaur perdrix." Is French phrase to denote too much of a good thing. Always cartridges surfeit at last.
 The lament of the sportsman has gone forth upon this subject and the fear is that there will not be as the days go by, always cartridges. The strolling, Irresponsible vagrant. either white or black, with 8 gun in his hand. destroys what ever comes before his vision to shoot early or late, Sun day or Monday, in season or out, at variance with the State law or other wise He has no mercy upon @ mother with her young, and the hen partridge even when betraying in her solicitude that she has a brood at his feet, will be killed from the covey too young to take care of itself, and thus eighteen or twenty birds will be destroyed at one shot.
 The continued rainy seasons of several successive years, during the first days of the matching season always have, for the birds that make their nests in the grass most disastrous results. The young partridge is such a tender, Title ball of down with red feet, that the rain Is it's mortal enemy.
 There Is nothing more attractive in birds nests than the newly matched brood of the partridge. The little mother will not move from the nest until she gives every egg abundant time to show up its full intentions, and there Is often not an egg left unhatch- ed.
 Like the guineas several hens will lay in the same nest and there are sometimes twenty or more eggs in the dulce domum of a grassturf.
 A little later there will be just as many young birds. if all conditions favor, trailing along through the high grass behind and around the proud mother, whose eyes are sharpened to detect the approach of any enemy. When she realizes that her family is in danger, she springs to flight sails to q disSance and then begins course of masquerading that would do honor to King COhus himself. She fiutters to the ground with q broken wing or lame foot or a paroxysm of convulsions invented for the occasion. and thus allures the intruder from her helpless brood that is squatted in the grass as still as If they were dead When she has been chased until out of reach of harm to the little ones. then she scars to the blue and circling around, re- turns to give q cheering whistle to the small creatures that have waited for her summons Alas sometimes she does not return and desolation settles upon a once happy family
 Several mothers will join interests and roam the fields together, and then there is q. truly beautiful sight of world of little birds.
 When maturity arrives to this large covey. then the sport of the huntsman begins.
 When I was q little girl I lived in an unsettled part of the State, where wide distances beneath long bodied pines were covered with tufted grass, a pretty walk for sheep as well as birds. and my father had many hum dreds grazing at their leisure, protect ed by d shepherd and his dog

I've half dozen doctors,
 And as many nurses, too. Who hasten to supply my wants. And they are not a few; And though I'm weak and little l only weigh four pounds You ought to see the way I make Those doctors stand around! If lift my tiny voice,
 Or raise my little hand, No king could have such quick response To his most stern command. For I'm obeyed through love. not fear And pity for my plight. My helplessness my armor Is, My weakness Is my might. It's funny, when you think of 1t. Though the Fair I cannot see Yet everybody in the Fair
