The scra and reed bird season will also

for these birds for some time as there
has been luxurious growth this sum-
mer of the weeds and grasses upon which
they feed. The hardware establishments
are being depleted today Of shot and shell
by the gunners preparatory to their en-
tering the marshes tomorrow morning.
Some of the gamers will not wait till

is excellent. The cry, "Look out how

horse although the owner does not think
30. The animal had been treated by
DR.. Greenfield, of Washington, ever
since the fire at the stable of Dew.
Aitcheson some weeks ago and the own
or thinks that the horse was burned In
wardly at the time. Mr.. Julian Fogg,
a blacksmith, who has been shoeing the
horse, has had occasion to place his
hands in its month and has been advised
to take treatment at the Pasteur lnsu-
tute, which he is now doing. DR.. Gree
field stated to the owner that the death
of the animal was the result of the in
iuries received at the fire. which culmi-
mated in blood poison. He laughed ct
