So he starts out in time to be on the spot

He always takes back his game with him;

rabbits, and his mouth will water as he

CUNNING SEASON IN new JERSEY
City Sportsmen Of Various Types in Search Of Birds and

Rabbits.

The next scene Is the arrival of the deputy
sheriff, and the last is the payment of a
fine by the crestfallen expatriatcs who
never can tell just why they have been
punished. Others have shot birds in their
presence and not suffered the same penalty.
1t takes an eloquent interpreter to make
them understand the difference between
a woodcock and a robin.
But there are other Americans of foreign
birth who carry home fine bags of game.
Just as they are the most successful fisher
men in the summer, the Germans get the
largest number of birds in the autumn.

He will be very reticent on that point
and deliberately mendacious when pressed
for particulars as to the exact spot. He
may not be going there for another year,
but he is going to keep the place for himself.
The other outsiders who descend on the
country do not frighten the natives. They
know long before they are allowed by law
Ia shoot game in which field there is flock
OF quail and where there are fat rabbits
and woodcock They get to know of their
presence when the quail are just old enough
to chirp Bob White"
They see the rabbits when the cotton
tails first flash over the cornfields, and they
recognize the piping of the woodcook when
they are little more than balls of feathers,
and they keep an eye on them during the
summer months as they wax plumper and
tenderer.
They have opportunities that the city
man can never equal. When they drive
through the country during the long sum-
mer months their ears are set to hear the
call Of the birds and their eyes strained
to see the cottontails 60 bobbing over the
| fields So they know where to look when
/ the end of the close season puts the birds
at their mercy.
Even the birds themselves begin to look
nervous as the first of the month approaches
They are conscious Of all the preparation
that is being made.
They know that the rusty old guns are
being cleaned up with oil and cotton. They
suspect the intent look Of the country
people as they drive along the roads.
They hear the barking of the dogs that
are taken along the road to get of some of
their superfiuous flesh. They watch these
ominous preparations for their extinction
without knowing well enough their full
significance to be induced to migrate in a
body. Such is the foolishness Of the birds.
Then the first of the month comes. 1t is
the Fourth Of July for the rabbits and the
other small creatures.
They hear such a banging and shooting
as they never heard before in their few
months OF life, Then there is a rushing

When night comes there may or may not
have been great mortality among the game.
Many or few birds and rabbits may have
been killed, according to their agility in
getting away and the expertness of the
hunters. But it is true that they are all
nervous wrecks. The rabbits sit tight in
their burrows and the birds hide under the
bushes completely exhausted. Such day
as they had with the whole population out in
search OF them!
This reaction does not affect the hunted
only. The hunters relapse into a certain
apathy. They have had their one great
roundup.
Other desultory expeditions may start out
in search Of the nervous remains of the
focks But they do it in halfhearted

TRANSVAAL CONSTITUTION.
Draft of New Document Issued at Lon
DON

LONDON, April 25.-The draft of the new
Transvaal constitution was issued today.
1t provides for legislative assembly con-
sisting of the lieutenant governor, six to
nine official members and thirty to thirty
five elected members.
Every burgher of the late South African
republic is entitled to vote for members of
the first volksraad as well as all white
males of British birth occupying premises
at annual rental of not less than $50 or
having capital to the value OF $500 unless
convicted of treason since May 81, 1902 or
OF murder, unless they have obtained a free
pardon
A commission will divide the Transvaal In
electoral districts The debates in the as
sembly will be carried on in English, but
the president of the volksraad may permit
a member to use the Dutch language.
Financial measures must be recommended
to the assembly by the governor, and no
part of the revenue may be appropriated
without his authority.
In a communication to Lieut.. Gov. Lawley
accompanying the letters patent providing
for the changes Colonial Secretary Lyttel-
ton says the time Is not yet ripe to grant
full self-government The latter involves
party government, and this in the Trans
vaal will become more practicable when
the two races have acted longer together
under equal rights of citizenship and when
bitter memories have become softened by
time.
In regard to the colored population not
being directly represented in the voksraad
any bill subjecting them to special dis
ability or restriction must have the sane
ton of the home government before 1t be-
comes operative.
constitutional changes cannot be extended

tions there do not so urgently demand then.
