The Odd Fellow who was not
present at the banquet given in the

social function of the year; so all
present vouch for. The time was so
taken up with feasting, toasts, res

the time passed all too swiftly and
the question of forming n Rebekah
lodge was not taken up but will be
discussed at the next meeting.
Asel Burwell informs us that
about Il week ago somemovers camp

w. B. Temple north of Oaktield and
upon their departure, he found a
poor old pony left behind, which
showed marks Of sundry blows adj
minlstered by its inhuman owner as
we'll as its starved condition which
led him to believe the poor animal
had been deliberately starved. The
animal is still there pasturing along
the highway and survived through
all the severe weather of last week.
A good rawhide applied with Il
strong arm and willing hand would
not be too severe for such an inhuman
monster as such person is; to SO
heartlessly abandon poor dumb
brute to starvation and neglect.

wounded, and that for this reason it was
compelled to stay behind the flock to which it
belonged
He ordered .'Dash'' to remain behind, at the
same time. telling me to keep close by his
side. He then loaded his gun with small shot,
turned to Dash, and said:

Then he bent down, and crept as stealthily

father would not have missed it.
On another occasion, he and I again went
shooting. 1t was on the eve of st. Peters
Day, At that time, partridges are still Of
small size. My father did not want to shoot
any of them, and stepped into thicket. com

the little bird on the head.
But my father replied:

In another moment its claws will contract, its

He was right. When the bird closed its eyes

The nest, however, was empty, and nothing
was to be seen of the young quails. My father
said that the male bird had no doubt taken

"A HAT l am going to narrate happened
IM when | was about ten years old
AxA 1t was summer. / was living at
M%SyN that time with my father in South
@ezzO ern Russia. He was the owner Of
country house, situated in the midst
OF the steppe, or naked plain. No tree, no
brook in the whole neghborhood. Here and
there the monotonous level was furrowed by
low ,depressions, covered with brush and
shrubbery, which gave them the appearance
of large green snakes Small veins of water
trickled along the beds Of these depressions.
In another place, nearly on the brow Of
decivity, could be seen small creeks whose
led up to them. On the margin of these wa
ters-in the damp earth-the footprints of
birds and of other small animals crossed each
other. They, as well as human beings, need
pure water.
My father was passionate sportsman.
Whenever the weather permitted, and he
could spare moments time from his work,
he took his gun, threw his game bag over
his shoulder, whistled for his dog-old "Dash"
and went forth to shoot quail or partridge.
He despised hares, and used to say that they
are only good for so-called Sunday -hunters.b
This was all the game to be had in our vicinity,
with the exception Of snipe-which came in
the fall.
The want of variety, however. was more
than made up by the large number of quail
and partridge particularly of the latter.
In walking along the sides of the depressons
already mentioned one came continually up
ON the marks made by their claws in the dry
dust, showing concusively where they had
alighted to rest.
Old "Dash" would then at once show his
qualities as a pointer. His tail trembled, the
skin on his forehead contracted, and my fa-
ther turned little pale, while cautiously
bringing his finger in contact with the trigger
of his gun.
To my great delight, he often took me with
him. stuck my trousers into my boots, threw
my flask over my shoulder, and imagined that
/ was a great sportsman. The perspiration
ran from my forehead in streams, the sand
poured into my boots, but / did not grow
tired, and did not leave my fathers side.
Whenever l heard the report of his gun,
and bird fell to the ground, jumped high
up into the air, and shouted for joy; so happy
was l then. The wounded bird turned It.
self over and over, gave convulsive starts,
moved its wings in agony-sometimes while
on the ground, and then again, while in the
mouth of the dog-and II was delighted,
and did not experience the least feeling OF
What would I not have given to have my.
self been able to shoot to kill these quail
and partridge? But my father had told me
that / would not have gun of my own until
] was twelve years old, and that even then ]
should be permitted to shoot only at larks
There was any number of these birds in our
vicinity. On bright days, when the sun shone.
