list OF the Aberdeen American ror

will receive the paper for an in

the STOOL PIGEON.

In Former Times.

It's Part In Capturing the Wild Birds
In Former Times.
There are occasional reports of small
1ocks of Wild pigeons having been
Seen III different parts of the United
States and Canada. Possibly these
nre the harbingers Of their return from
South America. whence they migrated
for some unknown reason fifty wears
ago.
1t may not be generally known that
the somewhat olious term stool pi-
geon'' as used today arose from the
stool pigeon that used to be employed
In catching wild pigeons in former
times. They used to DO SO plenty that
they were taken in great numbers by
the use Of spring nets. These nets
varied in size, but were from two to
ten yards long and were half as wide.
They were concealed as much as DOS
sible. being partly covered with hay or
straw or whatever was most suitable.
Ateach-end was Atrong spring. to
which ropes We're attached, something
like $50 feet long, to where the watch
er was concealed. Close to the net was
a stool, or stand, where the "stool nj
geon," usually a tame or captured one,
was placed. The pigeon was tied by
the feet to the stool, and from this
stool a rope extended to the person in
eoncealment. Wheat or some other
grain was scattered about the net, and
when the flock was passing the rope
attached to the stool was pulled. caus,
Ing the pigeon to rise and autter its
wings in trying to escape. This at.
tracted the attention of the passing
flock and induced them to light where
the grain had been scattered. Then a
slight pull on the ropes would release
the spring to the net. which would be
thrown over them so quickly that they
had no time TO escape. Sometimes
many hundreds were captured in this
way at a stas!e haul.-Amateur Sports
