W "a ~ HEN the boys were assem-
AAH bled for the first time in
Wv wv school, Mr.. Crawcour an
nounced an event of impOr-
lance. Standing up on the dais upon
which his desk stood he made little
speech.
Boys" he said sit is my pleasing
duty to inform you of an event which,
doubt not, you will find as gratifying
as it is to me. During my rambles
among the mountains of Switzerland
happened to fall in with some distin-
yuished travellers. Their name was al
'eady familiar to me, because the fam
lily seat is distant about six miles only
from this town. The distinguished per-
sons of whom speak are a lady of IT,
tie and her son. Lord Mordenfield, of
Willow Copse Hall. His lordship is
now fourteen years of age and has
been under the care of Il private tutor,
but such was the force of the argu-
ments that | made use of that Lady
Mordenfield was induced to consent to
my solicitation that her son should
come to our school. His lordship will
arrive tomorrow ut Pomona House.
That this is an honor to the school you
will all be prepared to admit. Some of
these days he with his vast landed
property may become a cabinet minis
ter. You will then be able to claim ac-
quaintance with him and proudly say,

mo bullying and no snobbishness.
Let his lOrdship be treated as you
would treat any other boy. You may
write home and tell your parents of the
accession to our school of one of the
members of the proud and rich aristoc-
racy of this favored land"
AS if by a preconcerted signal, Mr..
Crawcour lifted his hand and instantly
Mr. Mole and the other masters gave
utterance to a ringing cheer which
was taken up by the boys and echoed
and re-echoed through the lofty build
ing. The school was given half holt
day to celebrate an event which it was
felt would make DR.. Begbie and his
boys mad with envy. To have u peer

more so than its makers had expected.
They began to be alarmed about their
own invention. They hoped it wouldn't
go wrong or blow up altogether, for it
would then be in the nature of tor
pedo and not much would be left CT the
unhappy principal of Pomona House.
Prepare yourself my dear, for
began Mr.. CraWcOur to his wife, when
bang. bang! crack bang! went the
monster cracker. The sound behind him
made the principal jump, and he was
the more alarmed as each report agi
tuted and tugged at the flowing gown
which h, wOre over his shoulders as a
sign Of his position and authority.
"Oh, what is the matter?" exclaimed
Mrs. CrawCour in alarm. Don't let the
hOrIid things come too near us! l asked
you not to-"
1t is very extraordinary" said Mr.
Crawcour, puzzled.
The fire BOW came to the next knot,
and bang. bang! bang! went the crack
er with a noise like thunder. The la
dies shrieked. Mrs. CraWcour an
peared as il she was going to faint
Her husband rushed up and caught
her in his arms. At the same moment
bang! bang! crack! bang! exploded the
cracker close to her ear, and with
loud cry she started up and ran away
across the field. Mr.. Mole came up
and was saluted with bang! bang.
bang.
WHO'S doing this, Mr. Mole?" cried
Mr.. CraWcour.
Doing it! Why, you are, sir" an
swered Mr. Mole, "and, if l may say
so, | think it is beyond a joke. The
ladies are frightened to death, and
Mrs. Crawcour has gone home in hys-
terics."
"What do you mean? Can l help
Bang! bang! crack! crack! bang.
Mr.. Crawcour foamed at the mouth.
The invited guests all left their chairs
and followed Mrs. Crawcour to the
house Their host might consider that
he was doing an exquisite practical
joke. They did not like it.
MIR. Mole, if this is your doing, iii
bang!-have it out with you, sir, in "a
crack-way that will astonish you. The
ground seems mined with those in
fernal-bang! bang!-crackers. What
does it all mean"
Bang! bang. bang!
Suddenly there was a catastrophe.
The end of the huge cracker had not
been so cleverly and carefully con-
structed as the beginning. The fire
spread quickly. There was a loud ex-
ploson, a terrific report, which was
heard all over the field, and the princi-
pal of Pomona House fell on his face
after having sprung forward half a
dozen yards. Mr.. Mole stood still, wip-
ing the powder sparks out of his eyes
and wondering whose turn it would be
next.
Fortunately Mr. Crawcour was not
much hurt. Mr.. Mole and others came
to his rescue What remained of the
obnoxious cracker was removed from
his gown.

Ducklng on Susquehanna
Begins Next Wednesday,
Thousands of CanvasbaCks and Others Al
ready There-Changed Conditions Re- .
duCe FloCks, But Sport Is Still Good

HAvRE DE GRACE Md. Oct 30
The wild duck season on the SusQue-
hanna fats has begun.
The past week the air resounded with
the familiar ''honk. honk." of the
migrating wild goose. the whistling OF
the widgeon, the ''quack'' OF the mail
lard. as. in their southwark flight. at
an altitude of hundreds of feet. they
discover that they have, at least,
reached their first stopping point in
their long journey from their Matching
places in the northernmost parts OF
the. States and Canada to the Gulf OF
Mexico.
Mention has not been made OF the
stately canvasback. or his cousin, the
red head; but the above are only .he
forerunners and are closely followed by
their more aristocratic kind. These har-
bingers of fall sometimes appear very
mysteriously.
One day the past week, in a couple
of hours time. a resident counted over
600 wild geese, in fiocks of from rs to
100. pass over the city. Ii has been pos
sible most any time for one TO watch
ssyward for few moments and de-
tect. at great height. a flock Of can
vasback or ether ducks coming south
ward. and. after making a circuit or
two. gradually settle on the feeding
grounds.
Many PothunteIs.
With the beginning Of October those
who depend upon the duck shooting for
their liviag discontinue other occupa-
tions, anG. as rapidly as possible. pre-
pare for the opening of the season. The
preparation of their outfits requires con-
ci1 ~ To- dofo 10
which seem trivial. yet each and every
one must be attended to, for professional
duck shooting is just as much business
as are many other lines of much greater
headwaters of the Chesapeake. that is.
in Hartford and Cecil counties, for pos
sibly twenty-five or thirty years past,
almost 1000 men have been engaged in
duck-shooting for profit. OF these prob
ably about two-thirds are Hartford
countians and the remainder from Ce-
ell The grounds lie between the two
counties. and IRE common to the resi-
dents of each.
On the licensed grounds there are usu-
ally fifty TO sixty sink box outfits used
and ABOUT $50 sneakboats Then there
are the cripplers and those who are en-
ployed from points where clubs are To-
Gated.
There are many conditions over which
no human being has control which have
caused the business to go backward.
Food Becoming Scarcer.
-
Prominent among these is the changed
condition of the fats. With the heavy
spring freshets each spring (and particu-
larly SO in 1902 the sediment and debris
washed down the Susquehanna has de-
posted upon the feeding grounds until
the total area of the fats remaining
suitable for cunning is reduced to possi-
bly, less than two-thirds OF what it was
ten or fifteen years ago. Within the re-
duced space the same number CT gun
ming outfits are crowded, and. as a con-
sequence. the best results are not to be
expected or realized.
Another important condition for sew
eral years past has been a marked
scarcity OF valisneria. or wild celery.
