STORY OF A MUD HEN.
And the Man Who Tried to Shoot or
Drown tho Bird.

"1t Is mighty hard thing to down
q mud hen." said a Portland official
Every one knows this homely bird, so
clever that 1t can dodge the fash of u
gun. making It very hard to kill If
any one ever wanted to kill one.
"A friend of mine who was n great
hunter, but not acquainted with the
mud hen. was out hunting on the Co.
lumbia sloughs some years ago when
he saw what he thought was some
kind of duck floating on the water.
He aimed his shotgun and fred. but
the bird dlved as the gun was dis.
charged. and the shot struck the wa
ter where the bird had been a mo-
ment before AS the smoke cleared
away the hunter saw the bird come to
the surface. and he gave 1t the other
barrel. with the same result
His obstinacy was now aroused,
and he determined to kill that bird be-
fore he left the place. He shot away
every round Of ammunition he had.
but the bird lodged every one and
still floated In the same spot In great
disgust my friend sat down on the
bank and lit his pipe. At the first puff
Of smoke the bird dived again, and
this gave him his inspiration.
ITO make short story. he smoked
up all his tobacco in an effort to drown
the mud hen. but when darkness fell
and he started for home the bird was
still floating in the same old spot
