DIFFICULT TO SHOOT.
Birds That Test the Skill of the Best
Marksmen.

Birds That Test the Skill of the Best
Marksmen.
We often hear the question as TO
which is the most difficult bird in the
world to shoot The answer is usually
given In favor of the pheasant de
scending with closed wings from
higher level of flight. though a few
give the preference TO the second bar
rel shot at teal scared by the discharge
OF first barrel and darting upward
and in any direction but that which is
expected.
A bird which we have never seen
mentioned and which yet might take
high place in the category is the sand
grouse. II is not TO be rated as an
English bird of sport. but is familiar
to shooters In the east. where II is shot
as 1t comes lighting TO water holes TO
drink Its flight is something like that
of a pigeon. with very swift curves
and undulations, and In its case again.
as In that of the virginian mosquito
hawk. It is said that those who have
acquired the knack can kill 1t with a
comparative certainty which is the de-
spair of the novice.
After all perhaps our pheasant aero
planning downward must still be given
the highest marks for difficulty. for
we hear of no one who presumes to
say he has discovered any infallibe
knack by which this most perplexine
and vet apparently simple shot car
be brought off with any great assur

ADVICE TO SUMMER GIRLS.

She was pretty rs a picture. with her
cheeks OF russell laA.
And her bathing sui was something
good to see.
So she took a swimming lesson from a
handsome college man
Such a very handsome college mani
was he.
Round her head her hair was matted In
the fashionable way.
And she wore a bun TO elevate the
crown.
And she wore a lot of curls. as all
maidens do today.
The most expensive curls that come in
brown
In the water they went splashing Just a
gayly as could be.
And the spinsters on the porches wore
a frown.
For they never thought they q ever live
such awful sights to see
That young man should be driven out
of town.
But alas for that young maiden. and alas
for that young man.
A saucy wave came dashing Der the
foam,
And 1t swept away her tresses as wave
of water can.
Swept away her hairpins also and her
comb
The lake was strewn with ringlets; TO the
west there sailed her bun.
Here and there a switch was bobbing
up and down.
In the distance you could see her store
curls dancing in the sun,
Those most expensive curls that come
| In brown.
And a sadder little maiden never hurried
| to the shore
| When she realized her wealth of hair
was gone.
| The moral OF this story-must l really tell
| 1t o'erG-
Is not to go in swimming with your
phonies on.

WORK IS NEARLY OVER.
The Schedule Committee of Western
League Still in Session.

st. Joseph, Feb. 13.-The schedule
committee of the Western league has
been in executive session here all day
and expects to complete its work to-
night. The managers say there is no
dispute over the schedule and the COM
mittee report undoubtedly will be
adopted.
The club owners decided to adopt a
schedule for the coming season that
calls for four trips around the circuit
and only three games in a series This
plan was proposed in the Eastern
league this year but to late for atrial
The season will necessarily have to
be longer and it was stated that it will
probably open April 81 and close Octo-
Der 8.
The schedule on which the commits
tee is now working calls for Sioux City
opening at st. Joseph, Des Moines at
Omaha, Denver at Lincoln and Topeka
at Wichita. The club owners adopted
Hollands schedule plan because it
does away with the long trips on the
road. The longest any team Will be
required on the road or at home at
stretch will be twenty-on days. I'm
der the old plan they could have been
on the road twenty eight days. Each
club will swing around the circuit four
times during the season.
The committee on constitution and
bylaws, consisting of John Holland.
Don Despair. Thomas F'airweather and
Chester Woodward, is considering the
adoption of a waiver rule for the league.
This would mean that before any club
in the league could sell a player it
would first have to offer him to the
other clubs. If the rule is adopted
waiver price of $3.50 will probably be
set. The schedule committee will
probably complete its work tomor-
row. The adoption of an official ball
