MIDNIGHT DISCRETION.

Big game hunting in Africa may
have its thrills, but so has coon hunt
ing. and if you don't believe it ask a
well-known member of the Rock Island
police force, who went to Boston bay
last week as a member of party
headed by a Rock Island business man.
The trip was made in the latter's auto
and the party made its headquarters
at the hospitable home of Charley
Wade Near the Wade place is the
biggest tract of timber in the bay and
into this woods the party plunged at
night with a pack of hounds to hunt
for coons, which travel only after
dark
The hunt was fairly successful. Late
in the night when everybody was tired
a halt was made to listen for the bay
of the hounds. which were ranging IN
the vicinity in search of tracks. Tn
used to the eXertiOn, the policeman
sat down at the foot of tree, and
in a few minutes his companions heard
him snoring. This put an idea into
someone's head and after a short con
ference the lanterns were eXtingulsh-
ed, the plotters slipped away hun
dred yards or so and one of them fired
a gun. The report awakened the blue
coat, who suddenly realized that he
was alone, lost. in the dark woods He
rose and so did his hair and his voice.

beloved. No answer. Then he tried
whistling. The first time he did fair
ly well. but still there was no reply.
He tried 10 whistle again. but some
way he couldn't get the proper quicker
on and it was dismal failure. How
ever. it got results. for the other mem
bers of the party were so overcome
by the noise he made that they roared
with laughter and then the copper
realized that he had been made the
victim of a Joke
