Hunting the willy mallard is as different
from hunting other ducks as winter is
from summer. This greenhead rascal will
seldom decoy to wooden ducks. The feed
ing grounds of the nalard are up sluices
which branch off from the rivers AMI
creeks and form at their heads small
marShy ponds. The best time 20 get them
is just at twilight when they are coming

very tricky and one is liable to go up

bow and man behind it ready to pull
wild game at every shot. This practice
50 reduced the quantity of ducks that
drastic measures had to be taken by the
authorities of each state bounding along
the waters in order to stay the complete
humiliation of the whole duck tribe.
Then there was lull in the slaughter;
but now the gasoline launches have come.
This is a problem which is giving the
authorities whose jurisdictions extend
over rivers, creeks and bays more trouble
than the swivel gun did. To shoot ducks
from d launch is strictly against the law,
but there is not one man in 10000 who is
prosecuted for the act. The reason FOR
this is that it takes a launch to catch

on the Chesapeake bay and the rivers
tributary thereto, and all of them are
after ducks during the hunting season.
But at present there is no way OF stopping
the violation of the game laws In TINS
respect because none of the game war
dens is provided with launch 1T would
require a small fleet of police boats to en-
tirely stop the practice of shooting ducks
from launches and this would mean a
great expense, but if the authorities do
not take the matter in hand with firm
view to promptly arreSting these game
law violatOrS there Will be no necessity
of the now existing laws, for there Will
he no game to prOtect-that is. so far as
the fowls are concerned. Most of these
launch hunters have big guns aboard and
what ducks they do not kill are so badly
frightened that at the sound of the thug-
chug of launch they are of. Where
there used to be thousands of canvas

The Season Is Here.
Along in November. when the work of
the Office suddenly becomes drudgery and
a man begins to feel that life is Il stale
and protitleSs thing. and that cobwebs
are accommodating i'll the brain region, he
gets out his ''old betsies," rubs the rust
off, points them at an imaginary duck,
when. 10 and behold. the gloomy feelings
of yesterday have passed away and he
finds himself getting things together for
trip after the willy game.
A week or ten days i'm a duckng skff

mountains or at the seashore during the
summer. The way in which YOU will eat
and sleep will surprise you. and the mem-
ory of Tho DAYS you spent chasing ducks
will linger with you to the end of your
time.
Ducking these days along the Atlantic
coast and in all the states east Of the
Mississippi river means hard work from
before daylight until dark again. the
equal of which one never performed for
money. But at the close of each day if
only d brace of ducks to show for the

sportsman feels like a boy who has just
been given his first gun.
The reaches and creeks of the lower.

though much shooting has made the game

But the choice OF young Britishers with
American wives for the post at Washing

skne who i'm 1899 had married his cousin
Miss Frances CadwaliaGer, daughter OF
Gen. John Cadwallader Of Philadelphia.
was sent here as British minister This
marriage was very happy one, as
evidenced by the fact that Lord Erskine
named his two eldest sons after his wife's
brother and father. Among their de-
scendants are the Dukes of Portland and
Argyll.
After Lord Erskinc. the next foreign
diplomat in Washington to have an
American wife appears to have been
the Spanish minister. Marco de Yrator.
During Jeffersons administration this
American belle and Lady Erskine are
said to have had such great influence that
they made the society bellies of the capital
very jealous. Then during Van Buren's
administration Baron de BoGisco, the Rus
sian minister married Miss Harriet Beall
Williams of George: own. d. c., a school
girl of sixteen. All Of the diplomats here
attended the wedding in full court dress.

bridesmaids and President Van Buren,

Indeed, a class these foreign 6iplo-
mats have made our daughters far pet
ter husbands than have the idle foreign
mobiles with nothing to brag of save their
titles. In fact. an American girl would
seem to have little to fear from a clever
man who keeps busy at a profession OF
some kind, whether publicist like these
diplomats, statesmen. like Lord Curzou
or explorer. like Won Moltke and
AbruzZi. The marriage of NJ. Patenotre,
former French ambassador in this coun-
try. and Miss Elverson of PHILADELPHIA
appears to lave been as happy as was
that of Senior Matthias Romero late Mex
lean minister to the United States. who,
after the death of his American wife is
believed to have died of broken heart.
