Wild Geese are Flying.
The annual flight of the mil
lions of wild geese which feed
every winter on the large stub
ble fields of Shuttler fiat and the
Blalock country, is now at its
height but owing to the clear,
calm weather there has not been 1
any good Bhooting and conse
quently very few good killings,
says the Rock Creek correspond
ent to the Oregon Journal of last
Sunday.
The largest bag of the season
was killed at Judge Mariner's
Fairview ranch by Messrs. Miller,
Earl, Harry and Willie Long and
Attorney Lanson of Spokane.
One hundred and fifty-one birds
were the result of one day's hunt
There are two methods used by
hunters in this locality. "Bluff"
shooting, or killing them from
thebluffSas they fly from the
river to the fields, and "pit"
shooting, or hunting in the fields
with the aid of decoys.
The hunter digs a pit, sets out
his decoys and goes into hiding
in the pit to await any birds that
may be attracted to the decoys.
To have any amount of success
the hunter must be favored by
windy, cloudy weather, because
at this time the geese fly close to
the ground and are easily decoy
ed. A number of farmers have
posted trespass notices in the
Blalock country and will allow no
hunting without permission." A
permit can easily be secured,
however, by simply asking the
man in charge of the place.
Farmers do not object to the
shooting, but they wish the priv
ilege of directing the hunters as
to what part of the farm the
shooting shall be done on.
Hunters have been guilty of
hunting out of pits, and when
the geese try to feed within a
mile or so of the decoys, they
leave their pits and drive the
geese away. Farmers claim they
have put a stop to this lack of
sportsmanship, under the tres
pass system, and that the geese
will stay in this locality all win
ter if they receive this slight pro
tection.

Vwn W. t. Oiibrt'f aVisf Interview
With ChaHea Kean.
At iba early ag-a of flftwn, accord
In to tba author of a biography of
Sir W. 8. Gilbert. tb futora dramatist
showed bla theatrical bias to bis OT7B
ndoluf.
Euraptnred with a splendid per
forms dc of The Corsica o Brothers"
at the Pi-iucasa theater, then under
the management "I Charles Kean,
young Gilbert packed up a few clothes
In a band bag and actually succeeded
In making ao entrance to tha theater
with a flew to going on tha ataga.
Greatly elated at receiving tha mes
sage that Keao would sea btm in his
room, the boy tost courage when be
waa faca to faca with tba great actor.
"So yon would Ilka to go on tba
sugeT aatd Kean.
"Yea, air," replied Master Gilbert,
trembling in every limb.
"What's your name?"
Tba boy's Imagination failed him at
a critical moment in bis Ufa. "Gil
bert," be filtered, seeking refuge in
tba truth.
"Gilbert. Ctlbert!" reiterated Kean,
with a sharp glance at tba embar
rassed boy. "Are yon tba son of my
old friend. William Gilbert r
"Y-e."
Kean turned to an attendant "Sea

THE UPPER AIR.
Dangsr In tha Chill That Cornea With
tha Fall ef Night.
Few people who visit Denver realise
that it la located only a few feet abort
of a mile above tha sea leveL At such
altitudea tba climate Is alwaya treach
erous. Tba midday sun may be broil
ing hot, but after dark the air is soon
chilled and one la liable to contract a
cold.
Several of the Spanish ctUea stand
upon tha crests of tall bills, where
such climatic changes occur after
nightfall. When, aa a boy at the grand
opera, I aaw Spaniards In "Carmen"
or "Tba Barber of Seville" toes their
long cloaka or capea about their faces
I assumed that tba act waa Intended
to disguise them to bide tbelr faces.
Nothing of tba sort The Spaniard,
Ilka tba Italian of tba Alpine regions,
alwaya covers his mouth after sun
down to minimize danger to bla lungs
from tba night air.
Curiously tha women haven't any
fear of tha chill that followa tba dark
ness. They may be aeen in low cut
bodices at all houra of tba evening In
tba cafes, at balls and on tha streets.
The men, however, are In terror of
cold night winds. Pneumonia and tu
berculosis carry off a great many vic
tims in Spain and northern Italy.

I refused Wluterbottom early In the

brow, he swore wildly to take hla own

Tha old man'a eye gleamed as with
some secret Joy.
"Refused him, did you?" be chuc

Well, I'm glad you did. He's Just

Democrat Legend of Moses.
Tha story of the cause of Mosea'
alownesH of speech Is given In the Tal
mud and runs as follows: Pharaoh waa
one day sitting on hla throne with
Moses on bla lap when the child took
off the klng'a crown and put It on bis
own head. The "wise men" tried to
persuade the king that this waa trea
son, for which the child ought to be
put to death, but Jethro replied: "It la
tha act of a child who knows no bet
ter. Let two plates be set before him,
one containing gold and the other red
hot coala, and you will find be will pre
fer the latter to the former." The ex
periment being made, the child snatch
ed up one of the live coala, put it into
its mouth and burned its tongue so se
verely that it was ever after "heavy
and slow of speech." New York Amer

The organization of bee life Is a fas
cinating study. The workers In a bee
hive may be divided, Bays the Univer
sity Correspondent, into (1) harvesters,
who brlug In honey and pollen from
flowers, wax from buds of pines and
poplars, water to mix with pollen and
honey to make the pasty food for the
larvae; (2) scavengers, who in early
morning carry out debris, including
dead, alck or Injured workers; (3) ven
tilators, who atand erect and keep
their wings in continual movement in
order to ventilate the hive; (4) guards,
who defend the hire from wasps, rob
ber bees and other enemies. '
