PHEASANT CAUGHT IN NET
Tennis Players Find Bird Dead and
Enjoy a Feast Out Of
Season.

New York.-Four New York men
who left here about ten days ago for
a holiday at golf got back yesterday
with a tale of a pheasant eaten out
of season.
S. L. Snowden, bond broker; A. A.
Spriggs, stock broker; T. NJ. Logan.
a manufacturer, and w. P. De Saus-
sure. Jr., of the McAlpin. ate the
pheasant. According to Mr.. De Saus-
sure, the four golfers hid themselves
at Brick Hill Falls, N. J., and played
golf so hard that on last Wednesday
they were glad to try tennis for
time. At a critical point in the game
there was a sudden whirring sound in
the brush behind Mr.. De Saussure and
his partner, and big bird flashed past
them and dashed itself into the tennis
net. All the players rushed to see
what it was, and found that it was a
hen pheasant. 1t had broken it's neck
in the net.
Knowing the open season had not
begun. the four men discussed seri-
ously whether it was lawful to eat the
bird. The upshot was that it made a
full breakfast for the four.

START ANTl-AIN'T SOCIETY
Kansas Normal Schoo, Students Plan
to Abolish "Ain't" From
Vocabulary.

Hays, INSTRUMENTATION OF an
Anti-Ain't association has just been
completed by students at the Fort
Hays Kansas Normal school.
The association has for its purpose
the teaching of its members, among
whom are most of the students in the
school, the correct use of simple Eng
lish. the abolition of long. unnecessary
words, and especially the abolition
from their vocabularies of the word
"ain't."
The association was organized by
P. Casper Harvey, professor of Eng,
lish, in one of the classes. and has
spread gradually through the school.
Misuse of the words come" came

But the British government doesn't
stop with taking this money. 1t
spends it On the dependents of those
informed AS all the inmates of the
Islington camp are married men, many
of them with English wives and al
most all of them with wives resident
in England, this fund may be said to
serve a not-altogether inconsistent
purpose. In any event, the govern
ment applies it all to the assistance
of the enemy prisoners dependents.
But that is only part of what the
government does for these enemy
aliens There is a lawyer appointed
by the government and paid by the
taxpayers, whose sole business is to
take care of the prisoners legal trou-
bles. He has been busy ever since
the camp was started.
One German had been in partner
ship with an Englishman. Could that
partnership be legally dissolved? The
English solicitor promised to do his
best to prevent the dissolution.

he might collect damages from some
body. The English solicitor promptly
instituted a suit for damages against
the municipality of Southend.
| Every day this barrister transacts
business in the financial district for
those of his clients who were engaged
in the stock market before they were
informed. IN one instance it was nee
essary for a German prisoner to at

cial transaction in person. The solic-
itor obtained for him permission to be

There are classes studying Spanish

only instances of really tough luck.

those pupils would be paying me Is

nothing"
The cuisine at Islington may not be
quite up to the standard of the Ritz,

IS PRISON De LUKE.
Internment Camp at lSlington
Like Exclusive Club.
No Prisoner Would Leave the Camp
Under Any Inducement Less Than
Declaration of Peace-HaVe
All the luxuries.
BY HAYDEN TALBOT.

Londcn.-If any belligerent country
ever conducted an enemy internment
camp as this country is running the
make-shift prison into which the Old
Islington workhouse has been trans
formed, the worlds historians have
deprived their readers of tale at the
same time amazing and amusing.
Surely that greatest of all British hui
morists, w. S. Gilbert, would be able
to write a classic satire around Is
lington workhouse, were he only alive
to do II. Except his, no pen can DO
justice to the facts.
To begin, there are upwards of 7OO
Germans and Austrians interned at Is
lington The granddaughter I'M
needed-is comprised of one police
sergeant and four p. C.'s, who are in
America plain policem IN. Not one OF
the seven hundred-odd prisoners
would leave Islington for any consid-
Grafton less than a declaration OF
peace. The waiting list Of alien enc
mics now interned in less-favored
camps exceeds five hundred.
Islington workhouse resembles in
every material way an exclusive club,
rather than an internment camp. To
become a prisoner" in the institution
is the dearest wish of every German
and Austrian now in Great Britain
excepting. perhaps, only those who
are still enjoying their full liberty.
The attention of Britishers was di.
rected to Islington by the announce.
ment that a brother of Won Kissing,
who was governor general of Belgium
when Miss Edith Cavell was executed,
is among the more recently elected"
members of the internment club.
THAT certain privileges were per-
mitted such wealthy. highly placed
figures as Won Kissing has been an
open secret since the outbreak of the
war, but the real conditions existing
at Islington are sill undreamed of by
the British public.
To begin with, you can escape doing
any work-if you are among those
fortunate 700 prisoners-by the pay
ment of rs cents week. You can
