Hunting

/ bought a fine, newfangled
gun, and said, I'LL shoot about a
ton, of rabbits, owls and jays;
with cartridges and kindred goods
I'll roam the prairies and the
woods, and thus spend pleasant
days. It's long since l have
tasted game; domestic meats are
all the same, they're tasteless,
stale and fiat; so l shall wander
far and near, and shoot a ground
hog or deer, chipmunk or
cat" So off 1 strobe, and l could
feel within my breast the MINI
rods zeal, l had no caitff fear;
but everywhere l went l found, on
posts, or sticking in the ground,
this sign, mo Hunting Here" I
walked about thousand miles,
and saw, on fences, trees and
stiles. the same dodgasted signs;
and farmers, when they saw me
come, would say, Keep off my
land, by gum, or you will pay a
fine" All, it would be pleasant
to hunt, and do the joyous MINI
rods stunt, far from the madding
crowd, but for that sign, which
ruins bliss, and is about as bad
as this: mo Trespassing AL
lowedr Is there no place where
one can take his nice new gun
and shoot a snake, a tree toad or
a hy, and not behold those signs
which say. These grounds are
private-keep awayr' l pause for

Hark Back to Childhood.

fhe mOSS-COvered old mill brought
us back to childhood days when father
took his little sack of corn to be
ground. whereby to furnish the break
fast table with porridge for the fol-
lowing week. To those who love to
think of the good old days" it is con-
soling to come across a few things
which nave not succumbed to the spirit
of invention and refuse to follow the
rapid pace of present day commercial
strife. Indeed these "old fogies" act
somewhat as a steam valve to keep us
from exploding by too rapid expansion.
after scrambling down the rocks
from observation point at Burnt mills
and crawling back and forth on the
rocks in Northwest branch in an effort
to see how far one could venture with
out an accident, this branch was fol-
lowed for several miles. If there was
not a path John Boyle took us through
anyway and there was nothing to do
but follow, and it had to be single file,
too. There was laurel ahead, there was
laurel behind, there was laurel on
behold. There were bitches and
streams in considerable number, which
always give the variety for the mixers
and furnish amusement to the on
locker.
mot very often. however, are the
mixers ever given the novelty Of having
a day and moonlight walk all in one.
1t was a special feature not advertised,
and when those who seemed a little
weary and footsore and threatened
never again to follow John beheld the
new moon in all its glory, they took
courage and rejoiced. Mr.. Boyle would
not tell US how far he travelled. but it
is estimated as at least eight miles,
since it was o'clock before the cars
were reached.

RECRUITS TAKE WALK
WITH VETERAN H|KERS
Wanderlusters Visit Places of Nat.
ural Beauty and Historic
Interest.
Start Yesterday Made From Georgia
Avenue and the District Line.
"ofacial' Report.

Two hundred and fifty-two wander
lustrers of Washington yesterday ''hit
the trail" on what proved to be one of
the longest walks yet taken by the
mixers. When John Boyle, jr., one of
the originators of the movement, who
led yesterday, started from Georgia
avenue and the District. line he was
followed not only by a large number of
those who had made previous trips, but
also by many recruits" 1t was well
after dark before the hike ended.
Following is the Official report of
the mixers as given by their scribe"
"Once on the way there was no turn
ing back or short cut to the car line
for the tenderfoot, and possibly some
of these thought it a little strenuous
for beginner. The route taken last
April was followed to Indian Springs
and Burnt Mills, both places of natural
beauty and historic interest. Though
for the most part churchgoing people,
the temptation was too strong when
the apple orchards were reached. Ye
scribe was detailed to bring up the
'stragglers" and thereby spared a
guilty conscience,
