nulIE HUNTERS AT WORK
Practice Has Not Been Stamped Out,
Despite Assertions Of the A.

One day when we we're still-6shr
ing for tarpon on the fats near the
mouth of the Harvey river, we saw
. very small launch round the point
of an island, then suddenly stop and
quickly dodge under the manages,
says the Travel Magazine. The
guides grinned when asked about
the man in the launch and replied
that he must be one Of those Cost
gentlemen" One of our party rowed
ever with his guide and found The
man very busily putting things away
in his launch. To his astonishment
our friend was received with . chill
ing ailence and . Winchester.
The first few moments were en-
Darrassing until the guide, who eyi.
IDENTIFY knew this particular 'qost
gentleman" introducing them, say
ing: "This man is all right; he's
tarpon fishing" The man in the
launch was a plume hunter and his
boat had many plumes in it. I was
amused at this because just before
leaving New York I had read in q
certain sportsman's weekly that the
Audubon society had stamped out
plume hunting. I guess they had
better take a few more stamps near
the Harvey river.
