bad many opportunities to do so, for
the reason that he considered it was
the "decoy" that had lured the other
woodcock to this hillside, and to kill
it would surely spoil out sport in the
future.
This latter statement made me
laugh outright, but my friend, who
is quite an old man has made a study
insisted that woodcock will decoy to
others, and in support of his theory
stated that had known many birds
like the present one that lived in GER
tain spots year after year, and while
allowed to remain undisturbed good
shooting could always be had close by
but as soon as they were killed only
an odd bird or so would be found in
that particular locality.
Casting about, we soon found plen-
ty of sign, some Of it apparently only
few hours old, and ordering on my
dogs, two pointers, saw them sud
denly stifen out side, by side and calling
my friends attention to them, he said to
go in. As l approached the dogs a
bird flushed to one side of them and
darted thirty feet or more straight in
the air, and quicker than it takes to
relate, l had covered it and fired. AT
first l thought I had missed and glad
of it, for I had fred on the impulse of
the moment without giving a thought
to my promise, but my old dog Bob
stiffened out at the foot of the hill, and
going to him I saw the woodcock ly-
ing its back dead.
Well, when I handed the bird to
my friend and he recognized in it the
bird he had been watching all sum.
mer and fall, at first no apology I
could make would be accepted and he
looked as though he had lost an old
friend. Then he said we wonld have
to suffer next season for what I had
done, as I had destroyed the "decoy"
that had made our covert such good
place for birds.
That my friend knows the bird and
it's habits thoroughly l have had
many demonstrations, for he has
shown me birds every time l have
been with him, and he claims that he
can find birds any time from the
first appearance in the North until
they leave again for the South. On
a previous trip, in October, 1904, he
told me of bird which had been in
certain hollow in high woods sea-
son after season for about five or six
years and when I doubted bird
would remain so long in any one locali-
ty he took me to the place and going
direct to the spot mentioned, flushed
bird. This bird also be would not
/ kill.
If my friend is correct in this theory
that an individual woodcock will come
season after season to a certain locaii-
ty and there its young if left undis-
turbed, might not this be one of the
principal reasons for the scarcity Of
this bird in coverts where It was
formerly plentiful and an excellent
argument against all summer shoot
ing, for we all know that good shot
with good dog can, in July or Au-
gust, clean out a brood of woodcock

POOR, BUT RICH.

Once, in Maryland, says a writer
in the "Outlook," l was driving with
an old farmer, and some of the men OIL
the neighborhood came under criti
cism. Speaking of a prominent man
in the town, l asked, els be man OF
means?"
"Well, sir" the farmer replied, she
amt got much money, but he's very
rich"
HE has great deal of land, then?"
l asked.
"No, sir, he amt got much land,
neither, but still he's mighty rich"
The old farmer with pleased smile,
observed my puzzled look for NOM
ent and then explained:
"You see, he amt got much money,
and he amt got much land, but still
he is very rich; because he never went
to bed owing any man cent in his
lite. He lives as we'll as lie wants to
live, and he pays as he goes; he doesn't
own anything, and be amt afraid of
anybody; he tells every man the truth.
and does his duty to himself, his fami-
ly, and his neighbors; his word is as
good as his bond, and every man, wo-
man, and child in the town looks up
to him and respects him. No, sir, he
amt got much money, and he amt
got much land, but still be is mighty
rich man, because be has got all he
needs and all be wants"
l assented to the old farmers de-
auctions, for thought them entirely
correct. When man has all be needs
and all he wants he is certainly rich,
and when he lacks these things he is
certainly poor.

Will Not Entertain Demands Based o,

London, July 31-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent on board the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, on which
M. White, the Russian peace plenipo-
Tertiary, is a passenger, sends an in
teryiew which he has had with M.
White, in which the latter said that
if Russia and Japan had agreed upon
common basis before appointing
plenipotentiaries it would have been
much better. AS it was, M. White said
he regarded himself rather as an i'm
perial courier, sent to ascertain the
terms of Japan. He was prepared to
make peace nevertheless, he added,
as his powers were very complete,
and he would discuss the demands
based on Japan's actual military and
naval successes in business-like spir-
it of give and take. But l cannot

JAP TERMS OF PEACE
ENGLAND WILL NOT INTERFERE
WITH HER ALLY'S DEMANDS.

Whatever Nature of Japans Terms
British Government Will Be Salts
fied-Sakhalin May Be the Stick
ing Point.
Washington, July 31-Japan comes
to the Washington conference assured
that whatever her peace terms, they
will have the sympathetic approval of
Great Britain. Several suggestions
from Washington to London that the
cause of peace would be served by an
explanation to Japan from her ally
favoring moderation in her demands
upon Russia have not availed to
change the British government in its
apparently unalterable determination
to stand by Japan however severe she
makes her conditions of peace. Nor
has the British government seen its
way clear to render assistance to
Washington in the efforts which this
government is making to obtain an
armistice. Advices reaching here
show that London is opposed to an
fed that Russia's plenipotentiaries
are prepared to do more than discuss
the means of ending the war. If Rus
STA is ready to conclude peace and has
so empowered her plenipotentiaries,
Great Britain, 1t is believed, might ia
vor an armistice, but even in such
event it is said she would not be will
ing to offer Japan advice on the subject.
Believing, as official Washington
does, that Japan will not insist on the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Vladiyostok. should
Russia fail to agree to it in return
for the naturalization OF Port Arthur,

Eeve. prove the most serious obstacle
to peace III the far east. 1t is under
stood that Russia viii vigorously op-
pose the cessicn of Sallhalin Wheth-
CT, in the event of Japan insisting on
this as a condition precedent to peace,
Russia will yield is a matter of specu-
lation so far as the officials here are
concerned, but in quarters friendly to
Russia serious doubts are entertained
whether NJ. White brings with him the
authorization to yield Russian terri
tory or whether he will be willing to
ask for such authority
Keen interest is felt here in the
negotiations, which, it is understood,
are making substantial Roadway be-
tween Japan and England, looking to
the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese al
lance. The scope of the alliance, it
is known, will considerably exceed the
present union.

Plan Revolt in Cars Army.

Moscow, July 31.-A revolt in the
army is being planned, which will be
of far greater Importance than the
recent uprising in the navy. An ulti-
matum to the car demanding certain
political and military reforms is be-
ing prepared in the name of the en-
tire army. 1t will be presented when
the mobilization is completed. At that
time 100000 young reservists will be
armed, under the command of officers
largely drawn from the civil classes.
and both officers and men are said to
be strongly tainted with disaffection.
The initiative is said to have been
taken by the garrison of st. Petersburg

NO GOING BEHIND RETURNS.
Executive Council Must Take Assess
ors' Figures on the Census.

Des Moines, July 31.-In an opinion
Attorney General Mullan holds that
the executive council cannot go be-
hind the census returns of the as
SCISSORS. The decision is of special
Importance to the people of Atlantic,
as the temperance people there were
prepared to contest the census. The
census shows over 5000, in conse-
quence of which the present saloons
will remain
The temperance element seeks to
show that the population is less than
5000, in which case new petitions of
consent would have to be circulated
and the consent of IS per cent of the
people Of the county secured. The at
torney general holds that such a con-
test can only be taken to the courts
and the executive council has no juris.
diction. The temperance people of
Atlantic probably will seek to enjoin
the council from tabulating the At
lantic figures till the courts can hear
the case.

Wonderful Growth If Corn.

Des Moines, July 2S.-Marvelous
growth of corn has been noted during
the past week throughout Iowa. The
crop has reached the shooting stage
when its development in stalk is most
rapid, and when the tassels and silk
begin to appear. Lewis Mills of Prov
ldence, Hardin county, recently made
actual measurement at the beginning
and ending of a forty-eight-hour Pc
Rod, with the result he discovered
one stalk grew twelve inches in the
two DAYS.

Must Examine TRUST companies.

Des MolneS, July 31.-According to
an opinion of Attorney General Null
Ian the loan and trust companies
come under the supervision of the
auditor of state and can be examined
exactly as the state banks are exam
ined. Mr. Mullan holds that they are
subject to examination whether they
do banking business or not, and that
they cannot under any circumstances
take deposits subject to check and
must confine their attention to time
deposits. He holds that they must
secure certificates from the auditor
authorizing them to do business and
that their capital must be fully paid
up, as in the case with banks. The
question arose over building and
loan association Incorporating for
S2o0,O0O, with the intent to do bust
ness when 100000 was paid up. The
decision of the attorney general will
work radical transformation in the
business of building and loan and
trust companies.

Many Cars Are Unsanitary.

Des Moines. July 29.-The state
board of health took up the matter of
cooperating with other state boards
to bring to the attention of the rail
roads the fact that the passenger
cars are unsanitary. The secretary
was instructed to take the matter up
in correspondence with the other
boards at once. 1t is proposed both
to carry on campaign of education
and interest the other boards and
also, if the railroads do not volunteer
to make proper changes, to ask con-
gress and the various legislatures to
enact legislation. 1t is claimed by
the board that the cars should be
constructed of freproof material and
that they should be kept cleaner.
