BIRD HUNTERS CLEVER TRICK
Natives Of Northern Nigeria Assume
Resemblance Of the Quarry They
Are Seeking.

Someone may have called you "a
bird with explanatory accents of adj
miration. but have you ever tried to
act like bird or to appear like a
bird to attract real bird? OF course
you haven't, for this isn't the way we
In this country go hunting, even though
we may be the most ardent of sports
men. 1t is, however. one rd-hunting
method in Africa, writes Temple Man
ming in The st. Louis Republic.
A recent Illustration shows how a
dusky beau sets out to fascinate one
of the feathered natives of the woods
and plains of northern Nigeria. 1t was
in Bassa, to be exact, where the pho
tograph from which the picture is
drawn was snapped. And the person
who was caught in the very act of en-
ticing a bird belongs to the tribe which
goes by the name of Munsh.
Industrious and very good tillers of
the soil as they are, the Munshis are
said to be quarrelsome and great
lovers of alcohol, which they sometimes
contrive to smuggle in and to drink
with vast speed. 1t may be, indeed.
that this Munshi hoped to catch his
bird for the drink it would bring. At
any rate, he was most serious as he
went about his bird-acting.
Clad In a straw shirt to give the
effect of the scene in which he moved,
the hunter held the artificial birds
head close to his own and began to
stalk his quarry. To human eyes view
Ing him from distance he looked
more like a strange caricaturc of an
ostrich than anything else. To bird
eyes perhaps he appeared like scene
from the surrounding country-that is,
bird lettering on coal-black branch,
swaying above a field of grain that
moved in the wind.
1t seems odd that so simple an ex-
pedient should be so successful. 1t Is
true that the hunters sometimes return
empty-handed, but more often they
come back laden with the birds they
set forth to get. In this country and
In these days, when hunters sometimes
seem, almost as numerous as the hunt
ed, 1t would be exceedingly dangerous
to appear like the quarry, for bullet
most certainly would be the reward.
But in Nigeria the method is a success,
although it requires much practice to
initiate bird well enough to deceive
the birds themselves.

PHANTOM GAVE GOOD ADVICE
Shepherd Was Possibly Some Re-
lation to the Leprechaun.

Every Irishman can tell you about
dresses in red with peaked cap. and
lives in the bitches. Only one person
can see him at time, and If he does
catch sight of him, must never take
his eyes OFF for single moment.
Watching him carefully, he must run
and catch him, and If he succeeds In
doing so the Leprechaun will ransom
himself by leading his captor to Il
creek of buried gold. At least, so runs
the legend
of Aveyron lost two sheep. The fol
lowing evening a figure in black robe
and with tonsured head appeared to
him. and told him to look for the lost
members of his flock In cave near
Altes, adding that he would there find
more than sheep"
The next day the shepherd found
the cave mouth exactly as described
Inside were his two sheep. Beyond
he came upon chapel carved In the
rock and containing challces, censers
and candle-sticks all made of solid
silver. and of very considerable value.
A letter found in missal showed that
the place had been used as a place of
worship during the Reign of Terror In
1893. The shepherd took the orna-
ments to his parish priest and was
well rewarded for his find.

Rocking Stones.

Rocking stones belong to class of
freak stones, familiar to biologists.
Some of these rocking stones are made
so by the force of the wind which cuts
the dirt or sand out from under them.
They are of harder material than the
dirt and stones which surround them.
So the harder remains after the soft

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"poUeHBoY."

OF all the names applied to
~ the American, soldier during
the world war-"Yank," "Sam-
N.Y." Buddy" and the like-the
only one which stood up under
the strain was "doughboy."
Probably they didn't know 1t.
but the reason that the men Of
the A.. e. F. accepted the term
and answered to it without hes
itation, is because doughboy is
the oldest Of slang words for
American infantrymen, dating
back to the days Of the Revolu-
tion. At this time, following
the custom Of the British army,
each man Of the Colonial army
was served with three or four
cakes Of bread a day-flour and
water, usually underbaked.
These. cakes were known as
"doughboys" and. before the end
of the war, the men to whom
they were served were called by
the same name.
During the Civil war the an
pellation was revived-partly on
account Of the way in which 1t
had been used during the Rev
olution and also because Of the
manner in which the large brass
buttons of the infantrymen were
ridiculed. They're as big as
boiled dumplings or dough
cakes" stated one critic, and
the name "doughboy" stuck-to
be again r%esurrected when the
American forces crossed the At
lantic.
