THE WOODCOCK'S TKAIL.
TIMELY POINTERS FOR THE SPORTSMAN
SEEKING THE ELUSIVE AND ERRATIC
BIRD.
A Wilkes-Barre correspondent says :
On the nation's birthday the season
opened for the killing of the most de
licious of our game birds, the wood
cock. This bird, whose erratic flight
is best described by the farmer, who,
when asked if he had seen any wood
cock about, replied that he hadn't seen
any woodcock, but that he had seen
any amount of birds down along the
creek yonder with long bills that get
up and " fly like a bumblebee " and
"whistle," is found in nearly all parts
of Pennsylvania. All sportsmen love
to hunt the woodcock, first, for qual
ities so much prized by the epicure ;
second, for the reason that he is the
first game bird that the laws permit to
be shot ; third, for the practice afford
ed for b'Jth dog and gunner ; and
fourth, because of his short flight,
which enables the hunter to "get him
up" again and again until he finally i
bags his game.
Q lff3ir" tVin flt., lit -if I
woodcock thai no pretentions to any-'
thing but the snappiest kind of snap
shooting is possible. Any good and
well broken dog, either setter or
pointer, will work on woodcock, and
the cocker spaniel will also hunt them,
though he won't stand " them ; but
owing to the peculiar flavor of the
bird comparatively few dogs will readi
ly retrieve them, although the same
dog may be an excellent retriever of
quails, pheasants or grouse.
A Uog thoroughly broken on wood
cock knows as much, or even more,
about the favorite grounds for the
birds than most gunners, and it is,
therefore, ordinarily the safer pian to
to follow the dog when once arrived
at a likely place for woodcock than to
make the cog follow you.
The favorite breeding places for
woodcock in Pennsylvania are along
creeks or rivers whose banks are a
sandy loam or spring run marshes. In
dry times they are rarely found any
where else, but during the wet season
in July and August they are frequently
found inside-hill cornfields cf sandy
loam soil. Any place whete nellies
crow is a good place to find wood
cock. Such soil is alwa)s niuist .md
mellow, permitting the bird to bu.e
deep for its food. Indications of wo.i
cock are small holes m racial suii ;u
open patches among nettles or low
grass ; such a hole as would bu made
by the angle worm.
The banks and islands of the
Susquehanna River atiord e;.culi-ul
woodcock shooting, as Uo also the
banks of the Lehigh River froai iu
source down as far as StoddaiUillij,
in Monroe County. Good shooting
can be had along the Mii.uJ.:i:-.i.a

sides of the creek and lots of birds.
Bags of from fifteen to twenty birds

made in these covers, which are the
natural breeding grounds for this
much sought for and highest priced
game bird.

A few weeks ago, while Peter
Mosser, a farmer residing between
Siegersville and Schnecksville, Lehigh
county, was engaged in mowing grass
with a machine, he cut off both legs
of a partridge, which was sitting on a
nest. The latter contained twenty
eggs. Mr. Mosser took the eggs and
submitted them to the tender care of
a motherly hen, which took them under
her wing and a few days ago hatched
out nineteen partridges. The hen
was considerably surprised at first and
cackled at a great rate, says the Allen
town Chronicle-News, but her mater
nal instinct came to the rescue and
she is all care and devotion. The
partridges are doing first rate.

Better Than a Lawn Mower.
"Speaking about tornadoes," obr.erv
ed a traveling man, "I'll tell vou of
the strange antics of one I ran against
while I lived in Kansas."
"i OKin t Know you were ever in
that state," replied a nun from Wil
kinsburg.
"Oh, yes, I was. At the time I
speak of I had a house in Wyandotte
with quite a wide lawn in front. I
watched the grass grow with painful
misgivings, for I was opposed to work
ing the lawn mower. ou know how
that is yourself," he said to the man
from Wilkinsburg.
With a silent nod the latter ac
knowledged that he did.
"Well, the grass kept getting taller
and taller, and every day my wife
would make some remark about how
our lawn looked compared with the
neighbors'. One day the neighbors
who lived opposite me asked me what
I'd take for my crop, and then I con
cluded that something had to be done.
I sat on the front porch trying to work
up enough courage to tackle that
grass, when along came that tornado.
We all rushed for the cyclone cellar.
When we ventured forth, we expected
to find the house gone into the next
county, but it was there a'l right.
But the grass! ou wont believe
me, but the grass was trimmed as
a brand new mower could have taken
it off, and the cyclone had even car
ried away the cuttings. I suppose the
reason the house wasn't touched was
that the edge of the twister just reach
ed to the end of the lawn. But tor
nadoes are queer critters. You can
never tell how they're going to strike.

Successful Kuptura Cure.
Since it became generally known
that Dr. O'Ma'.ley, one of Wilkes
Barre's leading practicioners, had dis
covered a new method for the cure of
rupture, wherein the patient is not
subjected to a surgical operation, is
not detained from business and is
completely cured in from four to eight
weekly visits to the Doctor's office at
80 S. ashington street, these large
and handsome rooms are crowded
dai'y. The Doctor's reputation and
standing are such that the people
have confidence m him, and the fact
that he has absolutely cured almost
every case that has come to him is
overcoming the incredulity of the
public in the statement that rupture
can be cured without the use of the
knife and long confinement. Dr. O'
Malleys cures are absolute. It is
not necessary to wear a truss after
ward. His confidence in the treat
ment is such that he gives a guarantee
to cure every curable case accepted.
If the patient is too poor to pay he is
treated free, thus showing that the
Doctor has a real interest in the wel
fare of his fellow men. His advertise
ment appears in another column of
this paper.
Must Give Numbered Receipts-
A recent act of Assembly makes it
obligatory for the county tax collectors
to keep a book of numbered receipts
and the same must be filled out in
ink. A numbered stub must also be
kept, from which a report is made to
the county commissioners. The latter
are required to furnish the collectors
with the necessary books.
