BROUGHT HOME HIS DUCKS
Early Day Method Of Catching the
Birds In Great Numbers That
Was Popular In Maine.

A duck drive Is what they called .
novel way the early settlers took to
capture the ducks that were plentiful
in the early settlement of Maine.
For few days in August the birds
could not fly, as they were shedding
their feathers. The time was we'll
known to the inhabitants Of all the
towns about Deer Isle and those who
could come did not fail to be present.
First a circle Of boats was formed so
as to partially surround them and
others were stationed 80 as to prevent
the birds taking a wrong direction.
Duck Harbor was the place selected
to drive them into, 1t being narrow
and extending half q mile inland. Re-
ginning at the upper Of the bay the
boats were drawn in for several miles.
As this went on more birds were over
taken and as they reached their tes-
tination a large number were includ-
ed in the drive.
Reaching the shore at the head Of
the harbor, the ducks not being able
to run much were overtaken and
killed In large numbers. At one time
q large drive was made and the birds
attempted to walk through the woods
to the other shore. but being unable
to walk died in large numbers. This
was the last big drive that was made.
Birds that escape q great danger
avoid the same locality.-Lewiston

BROUGHT NERVE TO RESCUE
Experienced River Man Took the
One Chance That Was Left Him
and Saved Life.

The day the ice started to move
there was a jam Just above Athabas-
ca landing, writes a Canadian CORE
spondent to the London Telegraph,
and as the mail for Peace river starts
from the opposite bank, the postmas-
ter hunted up man who was willing
to take IL across In boat through the
clear water below the ice. Every one
In town turned out to see him cross
the river, but no one offered to 60
with him.
was calking on boat No. / at the
time, and watched him etart. First
he had to cross about two hundred
feet Of rotten ice, dragging his punt
along after him, launch the boat into
the clear water, row across, and 60
over as much soft Ice on the other
side. He was halfway across the
open water when the whole river
seemed to stand on end-in plain
words, the jam broke. Strange to
say, the boatman did not at first no
tice It, for the ice against the bank
was grinding and clashing all the
time; but man on shore fired gun.
and everybody pointed and waved up
stream.
The boatman never lost his nerve;
he rested on his oars for moment,
glanced round, and turned the boat up
stream. Slowly at first, but soon
gathering speed, he sent his frail
craft hard at the ice. The boat hit
the ice squarely, and ran up 1t. It
was his only chance. for II the mass
had caught the boat sidewise, It would
have smashed 1t like an egg-shell.
Hanging to the punt, dragging 1t
from one piece Of Ice to another, Jump
ing some pretty wide gaps once or
twice, and sometimes hauling the
craft after him with the short line, he
on.
II was the bravest thing ever saw
In my life, but don't want to see 1t
done again. On both hanks the peo-
pie stood helpless; they could do
except watch. and some could
not do that
Finally the intrepid boatman reach
ed the shore. and, needless to relate.
he did not try to come back that day.

The Jones girl had been abroad and
had come home cultivated. The Jones
family bore It with . resigned pride
until they learned that the eminent
Baron Hofsuneigener. recently Ar.
rived In Harlem from the upper cir

We've lived twenty.seven years
In Harlem and this hasn't happened

"9egin with the oysters" said
Jane, as usual. Only father must
speak to the boys. I don't want the
baron to acquire . Grass opinion Of

The night Of the baron's dinner
came. Mrs. Jones appeared in old lace
and q nervous expression, Mr.. Jones
unduly reminiscent of the time he
met Carl Schurz and the boys solemn
and slick in their tuxedos and silent
a. craven images. Evidently father
had spoken to the boys.
As for the baron. he was all plump
pinkness and appetite. During the
oysters he made one remark. Gut"
said he. During the soup he made
one remark: "Gt y" said he. Dur
ing the fish he made one remark:
ZACH. GUT" During the roast he
repeated himself: "Ach, GUT" But
with the salad the eminent baron
varied his refrain. "Ach, gut. quit"
said he.
Then the boys broke their silence.
In chorus they said: Pass 1t to him
again"
And what is the use Of being
cultivated" said the Jones girl after

on an Interburban Line In
Connecticut.

Passengers on the car leaving this
city one afternoon were treated to a
pretty sight at the rock cut below
Egypt Brook on the Derby line when
three large deer raced a.:ead of the fast
running car for over 300 yards, leav.
Ing the tracks when the car got SO
close that the fender touched the
hind legs Of the last deer.
Motorman J. l.. Mcclure came upon
she deer suddenly as the car rounded
q sharp turn in the rock cut and
sounded his gong. The deer stood
still for a moment and MCGUIRE put
on MIS- brakes, as he was afraid that
he would Strike them. He blew the
air whistle and the three were of in a
jiffy. running ahead OF the car at full
speed. Mcclure then followed while
the passengers aboard the car
crowded into the front end to watch
the deer. They ran gracefully to.
sether. but could not get OF the tracks
rs there Is very steep declivity on
the right hand side and the bank ran
up too steep on the left to permit them
to get on the right Of way.
Finally they came to a spot where
they could leave and one after tho
other they jumped into the under
brush on the uphill side. The last
deer fingered SO long by the side Of
the track that the fender brushed its
heels as It leaped aside.
Two Of the deer were fair sized
while the third was one OF the largest

ence along that line. Deer are rather
common In the Beacon Falls section
Of the run and they are frequently
seen by early morning trolley crews.
Harry Hogan. conductor Of the car.
said that although he has seen many
deer on the trolley tracks in that
section. these seemed less afraid Of
the car than any.-Waterbury Re-

SAMPLE ~ CARS JUSTICE
Frightened BY Soldier With Petition,
He Furnishes Him and HIs su-
perior officers.

Details Of an extraordinary scene
which took place while the car was
inspecting troops near Moscow re-
Gently are now leaking out. While
his imperial majesty was passing
down the lines Of the Second In
fantry regiment, private Of the
Fourth company suddenly stepped out
of line, threw down his rifle and
rushed up to the car to hand him a
petition. At first It was believed that
an attempt was being made on the
cars life, and officers standing by
threw themselves upon the man. 1t
was ascertained, however, that the
man merely wished to present a pc.
tition, stating that he had been
forced to serve in the army instead of
his brother, who had not drawn the
free ticket. He was placed under ar.
rest.
The car was greatly annoyed at
the occurrence, and ordered the pun
ishmeht of all the officers connected
with the regiment. The chief CON-
mander Of the military district has re.
ceived severe note, the commander
Of the army corps q caution, the
commander Of the Second Infantry
regiment a service reprimand. The
commander OF the battalion to which
the company belongs has been asked
to retire. and the captain Of the com.
pany and the officer of the mans de-
tachment have been dismissed from
the service. The man himself has
received thirty days. imprisonment,
but 1t is stated that his grievance
will be inquired into.

Deneen Brags.

I'm q pamphlet prepared for the
special benefit 81 the gro voters OF
Illinois. Coy. Deneen has the follow
inc to say aboas the lynching which
followed the Pelly outrage;
"When the anti-lyneh law Ques-
ton came before the legislature Tor
consideration, it required friends
and loyal support TO prevent defeat.
During the spirited fight against
the bill, when every influence
and vote was needed to place this
anti-mob law bill upon our statute
books. Hon. Edward y. Green and
his colleagues had their strongest
and most unwavering support in the
governor. without his active,
friendly and constant aid the bill
would have failed 1t did not fail.
It stands upon cur statute books TO-
day, as the effective edict Of our
great state, which has determined TO
Danish from every foot OF our terri
tory, tho shameless and barbarious
rule of lynch law.
And GOV Deneon did not stop
with his advocacy Of anti-lynching
legislation. He made that law
supremely effective at the very first
opportunity which presented itself.
That was at Cairo. Every citizen
of the state, indeed, the people Of
the whole nation knew how prompt
ly, couragcously and effectively,
Gov Deneen demonstrated tn
supremacy Of the law over the mob
by his action i'll the Cairo lynching
case.
'Immediately after that awful
lynching, Coy. DeHaen sander the
authority Of the aHtilynehing
statute, removed the sheriff from Of
flee. Then came the contest be-
tween the forces Of law and anarchy
The movement to rcinstate the
sheriff was supported by the strong
est civil, political ana religious in
fluences. Powerful and personal
friends Of the governor supported
the sheriff, but after o full aud
patient hearing. the governor de-
cided that the sheriff did not do his
duty to protect the colored victim
from the murderons mob and re-
fused to restore him to Office. II
was a hard Battle. but justice and
right triumphed and the law was
Eindicated. The worthy precedent
which was established by the gov.
ernor bore quick results, for the next

because we've cited all kinds of
reasons why You should vote for him.
Assuming that you are still uncon-
WINGED, we beg permission to cite
another reason:
We've got an interurban system
which runs between Cairo and

not appeal to you as news. but it's
the truth just the same. Some day
this interurban may run all the way
to ST Louis. IT is chartered that
far. II Mr. Taft is elected, wei
have that line to st. Louis, but II
Wilson wins, it will be slow tC

Following is the reason:
The interurban is owned by Con

friend Of President Taft, in fact, Il
is sn'd that he has even assisted ii
Mr. Taft's campaien. OF course. HI
