trio buttons governing signal wires
that run to hut behind the bank
| where the sportsmen await fnforma-
| ton as to which channel the birds are
entering. The attendants in the watch
houses also can telegraph signal
when the decoy ducks have brought the
wild fowl into their trenches.
Meanwhile, warming themselves in
the early morning around a glowing
brazier of Goals, and their pipes alight,
the sportsmen sit with their eyes on
the annunciator. At the door are stand
ing number of nets, with eight foot
handles, each deep bag of large mesh
suspended in an open fork, giving an
opening Of two feet or so across. Close
beside them crouches one or more
servants, each holding on his gloved
hand a hawk, alert and perfectly aware
that it will have share in the fun.
How this fun begins is brightly told
by correspondent of the London
Field:
For some moments past we had
noticed gamekeeper STOPPING down
with his eye to tie loophole in one OF
the butt banks, when suddenly sharp
click was heard, and the number of
the watchhouse where he was standing
dropped into view on the signal board,
and if that had not been sufficient we
should have known where the wild fowl
were from the frantic way in which
the man was waving his arms and
dancing about with excitement. There
was only room for three people on each
ct So - b. IL
ing down the path, got into position as
silently as possible behind the banks
at the edge of the channel and stood
with our nets ready for action.
1.-THE man who had signaled ran
quickly round to the thicket end of the
cutting and dropped a net across the
water AS he did so there were flutter
and splashing in the trench, and with
a sudden rush and a confused whirring
bank from the water. Now was the
moment when quick eye and steady
hand were necessary, and with circu-
lar swing of the nets three of us had
caught duck apiece before it had
gone the length of the net handles.
One of the birds managed to run tue
gantlet by lodging between two nets
and got away over the mound at the
end of the channel; but, like an arrow
from a bow, the hawk was slipped
from the falconer's finger and, rising
over the mallard, struck it and brought
it to the ground. The dcoy ducks re-
manned floating ON the water
The use of the little dog to assist
the decoy man reminds one of an old
fashioned method of procuring canvas
back ducks in Chesapeake bay, known
as 'tolling" them inshore by means of
q dog Wilson gave a description of
it, as he saw it done about 1910, which
can scarcely be improved upon. 1.-THE
dog If properly trained" he says,
plays backward and forward along
the margin of the water, and the
ducks, observing his maneuvers, en-
ticed perhaps by curiosity, gradually
approach the shore until they are
sometimes within twenty or thirty
yards of the spot where the gunner
lies concealed and from which he rakes
them, first on the water and then as
they rise If the ducks seem difficult
to decoy, any glaring object, such as. a
red handkerchief, is fixed round the
dogs middle or to his tail, and this
rarely fails to attract them."-New

City, but at an early age his family moved
to Roxbury, NY. He was graduated in 1860
from the New York College of Physicians
and Surgeons. He at once volunteered as
q surgeon and was assigned to the United
States Army General Hospital in West Phil
adelphia, and soon became President of the
Examining Board and Consulting Surgeon.
After the war, DIR. Kennedy settled in Ron
dout, City of Kingston, n Y, where for q
number of years he enjoyed large prac-
tice as an operative surgeon. He was one
of the Presidential Electors of New York
State, Mayor of Kingston for four years,
and held many other professional, business
and political offices.
The latest achievement of his life was the
discovery of Cal-cura Solvent, positive
cure for all diseases of the kidneys and blad-
der. nspeaking of this remarkable remedy,
he said: "Cal-curs Solvent is the browning
achievement of my life. 1t will not dis
appoint"

PROVES GREATPOWER
When Regular Medical Treatment
Failed, Dr.. Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her Rheumatism.

Hundreds of people afflicted with rheu.
matism have spent years under the care
of excellent physicians in vain. Then
they have settled down to the conviction
that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs.
Dinsmore was not willing to join the
ranks of the hopeless merely because her
doctor did not know how to help her.
Here is her story:
"Four years ago I suffered greatly
with rheumatism i'll my hands and
knees. After l had been sitting a while
my limbs seemed SO heavy / could hardly
walk on the first attempt. So long as ]
kept moving / vas all right, but just as
soon as I stopped, something seemed to
settle III my knees and make them ache.
My hands were so bad / couldn't touch
the palms of them OH a fiat surface; they
were swollen and panied So"
"Did You call in Il physician !"
81 doctored steadily for over a year
then one doctor said You have taken
medicine strong enough to kill almost
anything Still, it did not kill me nor
the rheumatism"
How, then. did you get rid of it?"
"At different times l had read in vari-
Gus publications. about DIR. Williams
wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People,
and l finally decided to try them. I took
them steadily for four months in ac-
cordance with the directions. By that
time | was completely cured"
"Have you bo1n free from it "
SINGER"
"Since then I have had but one slight
return of my trouble, and a box or two Of
the same pills made me all right again."
Mrs. Il. A. Dinsmore lives in hearty
enjoyment of her recovered health at
Woburn, Mass, entirely freed from the
grave anxieties hat rheumatism always
brings. When it appears in but a single
joint it shows that the blood is in a faulty
state in the whole body. 1t may at any
moment break out elsewhere, and one of
the dangers is hat it may break out i'm
the heart and then the result must be-
fatal. The only security is to keep the
blood all the time i'll a perfectly sound
condition.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills make healthy
blood. All other relief is superficial.
This is thorough. These pills are sold
by all druggists.
