CAUGHT ON THE BOUNCE.
The Parsons Second Barrel Play or
the Wounded Ducks

IH0 SGCNS
When the night wind whines about
the cunning cabin nestled in the beach
hills the hearts within grow reminis-
cent.
THE best canvasback shooting / ever
had was down off the mouth of Crazy
inlet" said the parson. "A ripping
northeaster was blowing. and was
out on the end of the point alone. The
ducks came down wind along the edge
of the shoal. and they were so far
away that 1t was just impossible TO
kill them outright. l could have had q
hundred shots that day. they came so
thick but ! let lot of them go by.
At dark | had picked up twenty two
birds. Not one Of them was dead
when l dropped them as they wheeled
by: but. boys. | didn't have to shoot a
single cripple in the wafer"
Cuyley gave the parson a long look
filed and lighted his pipe. then snort.
ed in disgust. for he was an old hand
and he knew that one needed more
than n pinch of salt TO capture a
wounded canvasback in open water.
suppose you hypnotized those birds
you couldn't kill dead into coming
ashore for you to wiring their necks|
he grunted.
No" said the parson slowly: they
were going so fast that when | kpocke d
'em down they'd hit the water and
bound up ten or fifteen feet. Then I'd
kill 'em on the first bounce with the
second arrel."-Outing

THE SWEETEST LIVES.

The sweetest lives are those to
duty wed,
Whose deed, both great and small,
Are close-knit strands of an IN
broken thread
Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpets,
ring no bells;
The Book of Life the shining rec
ord tells.
Thy love shall chant it's own
beatitudes
After its own life-working. A
child's kiss
Set on thy signing lips shall make
thee glad,
A poor man served by thee shall
make thee rich;
A sick man helped by thee shall
make thee strong;
Thou shalt be served myself by
every sense
Of service which thou renderest.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

APPEARED IN USUAL HEALTH,
NO CAUSE ASSIGNED FOR
II
Rash ACT. .
SHOCK PROSTRATES HUSBAND
Wife of A. L. Bass, Former Agent of
Brunswick Steamship Company and
a Resident of the City for the Past
Four Years.

Mrs. A. l.. Bass, wife of the former
agent of the Brunswick Steamship
company, and residing at the &C rner
of Reynolds and Howe streets, com
mitted suicide early last night by TAX.
ing strychnine.
Mr. Bass had just returned from
Jacksonville, where he has employ
ment, and was arranging to move
his family to that city next week.
In connection with the removal Of the
family it is known that Mrs. Bars dis
liked moving to the Florida metropo-
lis, but it is not thought this has any
bearing as reason For her suicide.
No cause can be assigned for the
deed and Mr.. Bass, when seen by a
representative of The News. was in
such condition from the shock and
grief over his wife's rash act that he
was not questioned. He did state,
however, that his wife was pceoccu-
pied and unusually quiet durins sue-
per. which was so unlike herself that
he asked if she was sick: mo lear"
Sc answered with kiss, God bless
you" and left the. dining room.
She left the house almost immedi-
a'ely returning about 7 o'clock, and
it is thought that it was during this
absence she made trip up town and
secured the poison.
Upon reaching home she went to
her room without exchanging a word
with anyone anG after taking bath
prepared for bed. She must have
taken the poison at this time as when
found few minutes later she was
beyond help and died at about
o'clock.
That the deed was premeditated is
shown by the fact that she left two
letters, one to Mr.. Bass, the contents
of which could not be learned last
night, and one to Mrs. G.. A. Faber,
to whom shesleft her adopted dough-
ter, and in which was stated several
bequests to friends and relatives.
Her home life was of haopy ma
ture and having given no int nation
that she was unhappy or troubled the
news of her death came as a great
shock to her friends and neighbors.
The funeral will be held today at
3 p. m. from her late residence, cor
ner Reynolds and Howe streets, the
Rev. L. e. Roberts of the Baptist
church, officiating. The pallD@areus
are T. B. Carey, J. i. Andrews, Or.
