can Wild Birds.
The American Game Protective AS
ISOLATION has leased 5000 acres,
about forty miles southeast of Bos-
ton, for the purpose of founding a
farm for the breeding of wild ducks,
quail, ruffied grouse, pheasants and
other birds.
'At one time" says a bulletin is
sued by the association, the ponds
in this section afforded some of the
best duck and grouse shooting in
New England. They lie directly in
the line of flight of the migrants,
which, since restrictions have beeu
placed on shooting them, have been
alghting there in increasing num-
bers on their northward and south
ward journeys. Many wild fowl breed
there, and the association plans to
increase the number by affording
them unusual advantages in the way
of food.
"The breeding Of wild ducks will
be the initial work in propagation. A
supply of black, mallard and wood

shallow water around the edges Of
the pond so that the flocks brought
down by the propagated ducks will
be encouraged to nest there. Tine
eggs laid by the tame flock will be
Matched under hens. This method
of props cation has been successfully
carried or many times, and as black
ducks and mallards are great layers
it is estimated that thousands can be

Born in Virginia, he was educated for
the bar at West Virginia university,
later emigrating to the Indian Terri
tory. The murder of younger BROTH
er under peculiarly fiendish circum-
stances made him turn an enemy OF
all society. He turned outlaw, and
robbed banks, trains and express
offices. For years he was thorn in
the flesh of the territorial authori-
ties.
Beau BrummeT' of the outlaws
was the nickname given him because
of his unfailing courtesy while hold
ing his victims helpless under the
muzzles of a pair of six-shoOters. He
was such bandit as Robin Hood,
giving away today what his band had
risked their lives for yesterday. His
cunning and shrewdness saved his
followers from death and capture on
many occasions.
On a hot July day in the nineties
Jennings was leading his outlaws in
a dash for safety through the Usage
reservation. They were eating din

fright. He whispered to Jennings
that a posse of heavily armed mar
shals were outside demanding din

They were at the gate, hardly 100
feet away from the door. There was

came in bloody fight would ensue.

field. Near the edge of the held
Jennings quick eye saw wide mark
in the dust of the road. He took 1t
as friendly warning, and after some
argument the band wheeled and rode
off through the corn rows to tim
bered hill.
They hid there until late after
noon. Just about shutdown one OF
the bandits looked off toward the
river and exclaimed: well, what
do you think of that?"
There was the posse recrossing the
river to the Usage side with the sun
glittering on their rifles. Later Jen-
nings learned that the warning mark
had kept him from riding straight
into an ambuscade where Bud"
Ledbetter, deputy marshal, and
dozen heavily armed possemen were
waiting. The first volley would have
emptied every outlaw saddle.
This was all in days work for
the slim young bandit, who long ago
gave up outlawry to take up the pro-
fession that was then busy hunting
him down. He was attorney for the
defense in the recent trial Of the

Great Soldiers View of Teetotalism.

Of the greatness of my father. l was

l did drink-some. AS l grew older

veterans who fought with my father

to celebrate with them the glory of
past events, and l did-some.
Then when / was minister to Aus

my official position almost compelled
me to drink always. l tried to drink
with extreme moderation, but found
it was an impossibility to drink mod

For that reason" concluded the
great soldier, because moderate

crank, if you please. l will not even
allow it in my house. When a man
can say, I never drink he never has
to drink, is never urged to drink,
never offends by drinking; at least,
that is my experience.

lutte teetotaler, every time He is

proof of his absolute teetotalism.
