Intelligence.

They were talking about fine hunt
ing the other night when DR.. Ether B.
Cooley, Uncle Joe Cannon's congress
sional opponent, was reminded of an
incident that happened in his home
state.
At the beginning of the hunting sea-

nimrod named Smith telegraphed a ho-
tel friend in the game region for reser-
walton. and at the appointed time he
was right on the job
Hello, Harry!" he exclaimed, salut-
ing mine host, as he dragged his dogs
and guns to the hotel veranda. Every
thing all right?"
Couldn't be better" was the prompt
response of mine host
How about the game?" returned the
sportsman, eagerly. Are there any
quail around?"
We'll, l should say so!' declared
mine host. Every time the cook
throws refuse piece of toast out Of
the back window four or five fat quail
