BOBBY THE HUNTER.
Why He Concluded He Would Prefer
Shooting at Mark Than
at Birds,

Bobby was wild with excitement. He
was going into the woods, a real sure
enough camping out, with pine boughs
for beds, and things cooked over q
camp fire and hunting and fishing.
For one thing, he wouldn't fire at
marks any longer. He would get real
game, and catch real fish, and when
Uncle Jim told some of his bear
yarns, he would have a yarn of his
own to spin.
But he had no idea the woods could
be so awfully lonesome. It took him
two days to go five trees away from
the tent by himself. He counted the
trees, because then he could count
back
On the third morning he closed his
lips firmly and walked u trees from
the tent. Then he sat down, with an
arrow fitted in his bowstring, and
waited. Uncle Jim always went into
the widest part Of the forest for his
bears and things, and this was GER
tainiy wild and remote, for he could
only barely see the camp kettle hang

Presently a beautiful blue bird, al
most exactly like the bluejay in his
picture book, few to a low branch not
ten feet away.
His eyes glistened as he stretched
the bowstring. He would not be play
hunter any more, but real one. The
bluejay cooked his head on one side
and nodded. Bobby stared and then
waited to admire the beautiful mark
ings Of the wings and head.
He remembered how the game which
Uncle Jim brought into the camp
looked, and how sorry he felt when he
saw the poor limp forms and closed
eyes. Would this beautiful bird look
that way after he shot it?
Slowly the bowstring slackened. He
rose and walked thoughtfully back to
camp. Uncle Jim was mending a net.
"Wel, Nimrod," Uncle Jim called,
what luck?"
Bobby flushed, but his voice did
not falter.

CALLING MOOSE.
How Skilled Hunters Fool the Big
Animals and Get Them in Range
of Their Guns.

The time to call the bull moose is
from the middle of September to the
middle Of October, and sometimes later
1t is the habit of the female at shat
time Of the year to seek open spacet on
the hills at sund0wn and give voice to
mellow, but far-soundlng cry. This IL
the signal to the male, and the call is
not often repeated before some shamb-
ling bull is heard crashing through the
brush, his long, split hoofs rafting at
every step, on his way to the rendezvous.
This peculiar cry, explains the Phila-
delphia Press, the hunters have
learned to initiate with greater or less
degrees Of exactness, and made it TN

ST. LOUIS AND MEXICO CITY
Only sixty Hours Travel Between

st. Louis, Jan. 29.-The United
States and Mexico, North Americas
sister republics, destined In the es-
timation of all to be closely allied
In the stupendous accomplishments of
the future, have been brought within
intimate touch by the installation Of
a semi-weekly fast train service, Civ
ing a 60-hour schedule between st.
Louis and the City of Mexico. Begin,
ming on January 16, each Tuesday and
Friday thereafter, at a. M, a through
vestibuled train will leave the st. Louis
Union station over the Iron Mountain
route, and at $3.50 p. M, two days laterI
will land Its passengers in the ancient
capital of the Montezumas--the pres
ent metropolis and seat Of government
OF modern Mexico PROFESSIONALLY this
new departure means much for both
nations concerned. 1t is a shortening
OF the links In the chain Of fraternal
amity, born Of better understanding
or their mutual interests, and will
bring about a still closer social and
commercial relationship. Credit is due
the several through lines which have
co-operated In this laudable enterprise
the Iron Mountain. the Texas & Pa
citic and the International & Great
Northern GALL Gould roads, on this side
the Rio Grande, and the National lines
OF Mexico beyond Laredo-though be-
yond a shadow of doubt they will reap
a rich harvest from the rush Of tourist
and commercial interests to profit by
this opportunity Of speedy and comfort
able travel, a delightful change from
the customary slow time, frequent
changes at junction points, and the
tedious iayovers that formerly robbed
travel Of its pleasure. The train will
comprise through compartments and
standard drawing room sleepeTs, and
observation and dining cars, affording
every comfort and luxury of modern

PLEAD FOR THEIR MOTHER

under sentence Of death, have issued an
appeal to citizens and announce their
intention Of personally appealing to

The appeal is mainly for their moth
er, Mrs. Mary Spaugh, under sentence
of ten years for completely in the crime.
VIM. Spaugh, in the letter, asserts
that he had committed no crime for
which he should hang. He declares
that Sheriff POLE came after him with
out warrant of law, attacked him, re-
volver in hand, and fired on him twice
before he replied to the shooting.
The brothers are preparing a book,
in which they will tell Of the attack

jects it is difficult to get the yener-
able senator to make an absolute, I'M
qualified declaration. His caution has
become a joke which he appreciates
as much as anyone else. Just before
the holiday recess the senator was
twitted with his reputation for safe.
guarding a statement of fact. In urg-
ing action on a measure he declared
the Christmas holidays are COM
ing"
Senator Spooner, who was sitting at
Mr.. Allison's elbow, remarked soto
voce: THAT is very positive state
ment for you to make" The rosy
checked old senator from Iowa gasped,
smiled, stammered a little and pulled
himself together and resumed:
well, all, that is-we may assume
that the holidays are about to come.
We have not received the usual holi-
day resolution for adjournment yet,
but ] think may safely assume that
the Christmas holidays are approach
ing" The clever way in which Mr.. AL
lison saved his reputation for conserv-
atism created roar of laughter in the
senate.
1t is related of Mr. Allison that one
time friend was determined to get an
unequivocal expression of opinion from
him. They were passing a farm in
Iowa at the time, and observed a flock
Of sheep that had been lately clipped
Of its wool. "Those sheep have been
sheared, have they not?" asked the
friend, Judging from their appear
ance on the side next to us, l should

sheep had been sheared all over.

bush. The call is made by means of
horn rolled out of birch bark, to mouth
which perfectly requires long and con-
slant practice.
The hunter, when an adept at sound
ing the moose love song, simply hides
himself at favorable spot in the will
derness, with his gun in readiness, and
blows the horn. AS he hears the bull
approaching, generally pausing in the
brush at intervals to listen for the call
and get his bearings, the caller needs
all his nerve and unfailing lip.
The call must be tempered to the APP
proach Of the bull, and one false note
is never lost on that wary lovers true
and cultivated ear. No COW moose ever
siurred a note or sang too fiat or too
sharp, floating her invitation to her
mate on the crisp air of an autumn
evening, and the slightest variation
either way in the sound will send the
expectant brute flying like the wind
away from the treacherous trysting
place-disappointed, perhaps, but not
70 much so as the hunter whose false
lip lost him the coveted prize.
The female moose rarely calls after
dark, the exceptional instances being
on light moonlight nights. Consequent
ly hunters seldom try to lure a bull by
calling after night has come on.
If bull can be induced to answer a
moonlight call, however, the excite
nent of the sport is increased.
There is something decidedly weird
and uncanny in the sound of the start
ling call echoing among the hills, their
tops flooded in light and their sides
and bases wrapped in impenetrable
shadow, and the answering below Of
the bull, as it comes out from the very
depths Of the shadow AS the huge ami
NAL approaches from the wilderness,
and finally energies from the moonlit
open, the nerves, even of the expert
enced hunter, are strung at the sever
est tension. while to the novice the sus-
pense is simply agony.

he is a most inveterate practical joker.
For some time past he has been
"stringing" a young member Of the
senate whose political ambitions are
only bounded by the presidency Of the
United States. He has told this sena-
tor that the success of young man
lies in making plans for the future and
sticking to them. Now, you have a
brilliant political future" said Mr..
Crane, the other day, land you ought
to make a definite plan. You ought to
be president some day, but would ad-
wise you to fix on 1920 as the year to
seek the nomination"
Then the senator advised the appli-
cant to see another man in the senate
and to get the latters inuence. Your
success depends upon keeping quiet"
said Mr.. Crane, $50 you want to see
this other man by himself and talk to
him confidentially." Then Mr.. Crane
went to the other man and told him
that Senator So-and-So wanted to talk
with him on a certain subject. He
will bore you to DEATH" said Mr.
Crane, $50 do not allow him to see you
alone"
Since that time the senator with
presidential aspirations has been pur-
suing the other senator who may do
him some good, and the latter has been
avoiding him as much as possible.
When he sees the ambitious one com.
ing towards him, he always manages
to get alongside another senator, so
that the conversation cannot be pri-
vate or confidential. The antics of
these two senators has afforded Mr..
Crane and a few of his friends who
are in the secret intense enjoyment.

showed a colleague a letter which he
had just received from a Norwegian at
