A full grown wild duck, is one of
the most wary of all animals, and
many are the divises of hunters in
various parts of the world to kill or
to capture it. There is a novel meth
cd of taking wild ducks practiced in
China and elsewhere in the East. The
natives see that large number of
big calabashes, or gourds, shall al
ways be left floating on the water
frequented by the birds till they come
to regard them as part and parcel of
their resort. The duck hunter chooses
his time, and putting one of the Gala
bashes with holes cut for his mouth
and eyes, upon his head, he wades
through the lake, his body beneath the
surface. He cautiously approaches
the unsuspecting wild fowl and catch
ing one of them by the leg, pulls him
with sudden jerk beneath the water,
causing hardly more commotion of the
surface than the duck itself when it
dives or splashes or plunges for its
food. He wrings its neck under water
and fastens it to his belt. Then he
deals with another and another in
the same fashion, till he makes his
retreat, equally unnoticed, with
whole girdleful of captured wild ducks

Socialist Election Returns.

The New York Times estimates the
total Socialist vote cast in the United
State on November as 100000. The
Herald estimate is that Allan L. Ben
son received 100000 votes as against
901,7S3 cast for Eugene V. Debs in
1912. Besides the election of Meyer
London to Congress from New York,
and of Thomas Van Lear as Mayor
of Minneapolis Socialist candidates
were elected to lesser positions in a
number of other places. Two assem-
blymen were elected to the New York
Legislature from Brooklyn, two were
elected to the Kansas Legislature
from Scott county and Thomas county,
and one was elected to the legislature
of Vermont from the town of Barre.
Joames A. Maurer was reelected to
the Pennsylvania Legislature In
Wisconsin the Socialist delegation in
the legislature has been increased by
two votes. Though Morris Hillquitt
is defeated for Congress on the face
of the returns in the goth New York
district by 1913 votes, by Isaac Siegel,
Republican evidence of gross fraud is
alleged to exist and a contest is pro-
missed. 1t is charged that 500 Hill
quist votes were stolen during the
count.
