YARNS ABOUT DUCKS.
The Close of the Shooting Feaeon.
Stor.ee Told Around the Fire.
From the Washington .Star.
Only three more days remain of the duck
ing season of 1890-*9l. I am loath to put
away my gun, for even now as I look out
the window of the cabin tbe flats are liter
ally covered with ducks. It seems e pity
that so much sport as we have had during
the last two weeks should be brought to a
close. All tbe winter ducks have been
scaroe, but during tbe last fortnight there
has been sport enough down here to suit
any one Never in my recollection, and I
have gunned here for six years, have
I seen ducks so plentiful. They are not
trash ducks, either. Red beads predomi
nate and there is a generous sprinkling of
canvas-becks bereab mts. All of our shoot
ing lately has been from sink boxes and
point blinds. The latter we find tbe better
at this season of the year, for tbe ducks are
feeding close in. This is a bad sign. It
shows they are looking for fish, and when a
duck eats fish for breakfast, dinner and
supper he gets a fish flavor hi i.si f which s
not very agreeable. However, tbe season
for fish has been quite severe thus far, and
it f not likely tho ducks will get “rishy’
before the season closes. Last night we
gave a big dinner and bad three or four old
rot hunters with us. All of them were as
hungry as the proverbial hunter and by
tbe time they bad finished eating tbe larder
was lu a depleted condition. We all drew
our ohairs up about the fire, and, after the
pines had been freshly loaded, the story
telling began. Old Bill Foster was the first
to tell a story. He laid down his pipe, and,
taking a generous “ohaw" of tobacco, an
nounced, between several expectorations,
wuieh threatened to put the fire out, that
he wa> a goln’ to tell a story ’bout a duck
an’ a snake.
He said: "It happened back thar in the
seventies. I was summsi of a boozer tbern
days, an’ when I seed tbe sight as I’m goin’
to tell yer ’bout, guah durn my gallowses ef
I didn't think I had ura. I was a cuttin’
wood in a swamp all by myself one inoruin',
when, sudden like, I thought 1 heerd a
mallard quack, but didn’t pay no attention
to it, thiukin’, perhaps, I was a druamiu’.
Putty soon I heerd it agin. Now the
swamp warn’t fur from the river, and,
thinks I, maybe that’s a duck, and
just then he quacked agin, jest
like a tame duck quacks when he’s
in trouble. So I run over in the direc
tion of the noise. The quacking was a
goin’ ou terrible, and all of a sudden lise it
hushed. I pushed on, howsomever, and
thar in a little clearin’, jest in front of me, I
seed the duok. He looked like he had his
head in a tree stump, and, thinks i, a chip
munk’s got that mallard, sure, and I’il soon
have ’em both. I grabbed the duck by the
leg, when durn my pieter ef I didn’t see Un
hole whar tbe duck’s head was move: a pair
of shinin’ black eyes seemed to come out of
the bole and glare at me. I
drapped the duck and run like the devil.
I kinder eased up, howsomever, and began
to think that I bad ’em. But no, my
head was clar as that drinking water. So
I made up my mind to go back and see
what it war. Takin’ a rail I moved back.
When I got up to tbe log I found it had
moved and was a movin’ i ipht along. All
of a sudden I discovered it was the most
powerful black swamp snake that I ever
seed. I crept up behind him. He had the
mallard all but swallowed. I gave bim a
crack over tbe head and his jaws flew opeu
like a muskrat hole. Out oome the mallard,
and before I could say Jack Rooinson he
was up an’gone. The snake he drew him
self u>in a coil and I moved out. I never
want biok in them woods agin.”
“I've got a tale as might interest you
f tilers, talking 'bout snakes" a iid Howard.
“Last summer down here I killed a black
snake thirteen feet long on the river shore.
He was terrible fat, and after be was dead
I notioed there was a imethiug a movin’ in
side of him. Pretty soon out crawled a
lit le teriaptn from between his jaws.
Four more followed, and than I cut him
open. What do you think was inside of
him! Two more turtles and eight turtle
eggs. The black rascal had robbed a turtle’s
nest and blame my butio is if they han’t
hatched inside of him.” That wa-i the last
story. “It was too severe,” as -ne of the
hunters remarked as he left the cabin.
ATTACKED BY QIR S.
A Flock of Them Ksa and Hug a
Bashful Yale Student.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The young girls of New Haven who are
employed in the corsot shops, a dispatch
from that city says, are noted for two
things—their beauty and their self-assur
ance. Some of the girls are unusually
piquant m their manners, and all are, as a
rule, gifted with a sufficiency of talk, which
they are not slow to use whenever they get
a good chance.
One of the principal shops in the city is
located on Court street. The girls are re
leased from their employment about 6
o'clock in the afternoon. The students in
this city are a genial set of you >g men as a
ru!e,ai id aie divided into two cla-sas, athletes
aud non-athietes. The atnletes, who are in
training for the annual boat race at New
London, take a practice spiu in the harbor
every afternoon, after which they take a
run from the club house on East Chapel
street to the quarters ou Eirn street.
1 heir usu >1 course is up Chapel street to
the Wooster square, through whicn they
run to Court street. This is the short way,
aud takes them off the principal streets.
They are obliged t pass the corsot shop in
their run up street, and the girls in the shop
have learned to expect them, so that when
the students appear they are greeted with a
chorus of remarks not al >'ays complimen
tary. The students, as a rule, have always
timed themselves s > as to pass tbe shop a
few moments refore the girls are released,
and thus they avoid the rush.
Last night the students were a trifle late
coming ud the street, and were about a
block away when the girls were released.
Through the street the students came on a
run, aud some of the girls made room for
them to pass. 0 eof the students was a
litde baokward from the rest of the
group, aud, os he was adorned with a goodly
crop of hair of the tint that the poets rave
about, the girls immediately started a vol
ley of remarks.
He became incensed, and made a remark
not very complimentary to the girls. This
was what they wanted, aud before the as
tonished student kue w what they were about
over thirty of t em had formed a group
around him and were each calling him the
choicest expletives that thev oould com
mand. In vain be tried to break through
the ranks, but the girls would not have it.
He called on his companions for help, but
they were too far ahead to hear him with
the noise mads by the girls, and continued
on tbeir way.
One of the girls suggested that they kisi
him, and before he knew what was up he
was being held tightly in the arms of a
strong Amazon, aud as many as could con
veniently stepped up and kissed him. In
vain he struggled and fought, and, us a last
resort, he screamed for help. His compan
ions heard him and returned to his rescue,
and after considerable difficulty they suc
ceeded in effecting his escape.

SLIGO'S BITTER FIGHT.
THE M.CAR HYITB CANDIDATE’S
MAJOR .TY 780.
A Bogus Telegram Circulated Showing
That the Pope Opposed the War of
the Pr.eits-GiU Denies That He Got
It Up—A t lucky Fight by the Par
nellites.
Sligo, April 3. —The result of the (tolling
yesterday for member of parliament to
succeed the late Peter McDonald as repre
sentative for North Bligo was announced
this afternoon. The contest resulted in tbe
election of the McCarthyite can
didate, Alderman Bernard Collerv of
Bligo, over the Parnellite nominee, Alder
man Valentine B. Dillon of Rotunda Ward,
Dublin. Mr. Collery’s majority was 806.
THE CROWD EXCITED.
The crowd, which had been in waiting
outside of the town hail in the expectation
of hearing the final result of tbe election an
nounced, was much excited when tbe figures
were given. It was raining heavily, how
ever, and tbe crowd soon dispersed,after
cheering Messrs Davitt and Sexton. Tbe
figures are officially announced to be:
Alderman Collary, anti-Parnellite. 8,306;
Alderman Dillon, Parnellite, 2,436; ma
jority for the anti-Parnellite candidate of
780.
Alderman Dillon's agent has lodged a
petition against tbe return of Alderman
Collery on the ground that the presiding
officer of the Grange polling place unlaw
fully! adjourned the polling while he went
to refresh himself.
THE NATIONALS TOO BOASTFUL.
C Copyrighted, 1891, by the Kew York Associated
Press. I
London, April 3. —The nationals dis
counted their victory in Bligo to some ex
tent by exaggerated predictions as to the
majority. On the other hand, the Paruell
ites made a cooler estimate, which enabled
Mr. Parnell, in his final utterance before the
remit of the polling was known, to declare:
“If we have lost it will be such a victory
as will show by comparison with tbe Kil
kenny election that our cause is progress
ing." Mr. Davitt, besides blaming the loose
system adopted in polling illiterate votes, as
losing tbe nationalists hundreds of votes,
traces the reduction in the expected ma
jority to the conservative support given to
tbe Parnellites. It is estimated that 450
conservatives voted for Mr. Dillon.
Speeches made by the Parnellites, after
their defeat was known, showed unabated
pluck.
A BOGUS TELEGRAM.
In the contest each side worked with in
domitable energy and skill. The Parnell
ites tried to dupe the Catbolio voters by a
display of bogus telegrams from Rome to
the effect that the pope disapproved tbe
anti-Parnell policy of the Irish bishops and
had detained Archbishop Walsh in that city
to prevent him from interfering with Mr.
Parnell. The Associated Press interview
with Arch! isbop Walsh, which was published
throughout the cou itry on the day after its
appearance in America, had the' influence
of enlightening the electorate as to the
aotual opinions of the pope and Archbishop
Walsh.
GILL DENTES GETTING IT UP.
P. Gill, who was accused of originating
the alleged telegram from Rome, denies
that he inspired the fabrication. Arch
bishop Walsh found it necessary to wire a
di act denial. Events in Sligo have so
widened the breach between Mr. Parnell
and his old followers that the
gulf will be forever unabridged.
Mr. Parnell’s phrases, “foul mouthed
Healy” an 1 “maudlin Bexton,” and his
charge that Mr. Sexton was in a speechless
condition of drunkenness on his arrival in
Sligo, intensified the fury of the nationals,
M-. Parnell will preside at an amnesty meet
ing to i e he’d in Dublin Sunday, when there
will be 0[ ened a vigorous amnesty agita
tion, whereby he hopes to strengthen bis
ranks.
AGAINST PARNELL.
St. Louis, Mo., April 3.—Dr. Thomas
O’Reilly of this city, a member of tbe exec
utive council of the Irish National League,
has received a letter from President Fitz
gerald, president of the league, announcing
that he has called a meeting of the
executive council to be held at Cin
cinnati, April 9, to discuss the
quesiion and take action in regard to in
dorsing Mr. Parnell. Dr. O’Reilly has
written a letter to President Fitzger
ald, in which he takes a decided stand in
opposition to Mr. Parnell, and compares
his conduct to that of Cataline, the famous
Roman, in his efforts to destroy his country
after having failed to rule it. The doctor
says President Fitzgerald will meet with
opposition in the council, as most of its
members are adverse to Mr. Parnell, and
lie advises all friends of Ireland not to con
tribute a dollar to the Parnellites, as it will
be used only t) continue the disgraceful
scenes now being enacted in Ireland bvthat

er article in the market begins to reach the sale
which this medicine has gained. Any druggist
will confirm this stata-nent. Hood's Sarsaparilla
has reached this position of the people's favorite
spring medicioa, because It does all that is
claimed for U.
Hood's

Contains those curative properties known to

onous impurities from the blood, and by their
tonic effect to restore waste tissues sad drive
away weakness and debility.
"I have used Hood's Sarsaparilla in my fam
ily for nervous prostration, with the very best
results, and can highly reoommend it to others
suffering ih that way.” C. M. Seley, Banker,
Waco, Ter*
Purifies
the Blood
“I have been suffering more or loss with dys
pepsia and liver difficulty for a long time. Be
ing handed one of HoAd’s Sarsaparilla pamph
lets, I concluded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla and
Hood's Pills, and am now in better health than
I have been for twenty years. I can safely rec
ommend the mediciDe.'’ G. G. James, Winona,
Mississippi.
Hood's
Sarsaparilla
“Sseing the trunk of a representative of
Hood's Sarsaparilla at this hotel, the Central,
Atlanta.reminds me that I would like to give my
testimony aud have it published for the benefit
of any whom it may concern. I took Hood’s
Sarsaparilla for scrofula, impure blood, etc.,
and the result convinced me that the medicine
is all its manufacturers claim it to be. In my
opinion it has no equal, and 1 cannot recom
mend it too highly to those who are afflicted
with impure blood.” John P. (. ahtwbight, Au
gusta. Georgia.

Weak Strong
“Our Bales of Hood's Sarsaparilla are very
satisfactory, and, indeed, the demand continues
to be greater than that of any other me licine
of the kind in stock. Hood’s Sarsaparilla has
an enviable reputation in this vicinity.” H. H.

Rapidity of movement is apt to be ao>
companied by a sacrifice of dignity, es
pecially if you happen to have a vicious
dog at your heels. It would bo stretch
ing a point to say that our spring suits
have any dignity, because the term is
not usually applied to inanimate object*,
but if they have no dignity of their
own, they at least impart dignity to
the wearer, who, in turn, may be said
to invest them with with a sort of per
sonal animation. If there is anything
in this life that Is positively depressing,
it is the unfortunate who is condemned
to wear an unbecoming suit of cluthes.
He may try to appear unconscious of
the attention he attracts, but he is a vie
tim of inward embarrassment, even
though he gives no outward evidence of
it. You will have no cause for embar
rassment if you buy your Spring Suit
for yourself or your boys of “THE

what you want to suit your person as
