Martin, B.A., was teaching classics in the Port Dover High school, lie had pasted through the University of Toronto some time previously, had put in hia year at the School of Pedagogy at Hamilton and had subsequently settled down as he thought to u academic life. But un- fortunately (or fortunately) for his scheme of existence, Mr. Martin was troubled with a hobby and this hobby grew up by decrees to such proportions that, like the proverbial dog's tail, it presently began to wag the dog. Mr. Martin's hobby, cultivated and encouraged from early childhood, was chickens. He was simply daft about them and from one variety he had shift- ed to another variety in search of his ideal, until he had had experience with all the principal breeds. Even when he was at college ho could not, relinquish his fnd and when he took up teaching, it waa simply impossible for him to fori The stoiy 8 told that when he was Imarding in Port Dover at thu tiuic he first wont there tu teach, he secured a setting of eggs from which he hatchad nut thirteen chickens in the back yard of the boarding house, fuming home one night he found the coop 'overturned and the brood scattered. Apparently it had been the work of some malicious person who objected to having chickens in tli. neighborhood. Nothing daunted however the enthusiast ordered a second setting of egt(s forthwith. I'm next morning string to Kay the original brood were all back clamoring for their lirr.tkf.-is'. It traiiNpire'l .sutfe<|uently ili it a lady hoarder, tu play a joke on Mr. Martin, had hidden the chickens overnight in the closet of her bedroom. In I'i'.i; the hobby had swelled to such dimeniioiit as to give promise of being able to support the hobbyiit in- stead of giuking him its i.- so fie({ucnt!y the case. His parents had prt-viously moved to Purl Dover, thus giving him an opportunity to carry ou his breeding under more satisfactory conditions at home. I lii'' he worked late aud early, rising before daybreak and retiring Ht midnight. School attendance became a nuisance, interferiui.' as it did with a much moi'ii congenial tank.

If only everyone who had the desire ;ould accomplish the tame results, but un- fortunately it requires a certain kind of genius to tucceed and evidently Mr, Murtin was gifted with this genius at his birth. "Growing really fancy chickens" he once said, "is an art, a matter of the eye and brain. You mo- 1 see your ideal in your mir.j;thcn you must strive with intelligent effort and patience to attain that ideal." Surely I'm it a recipe which only a born en- thusiast can follow. With all his striving after prize- winning points of excellence in breeding Mr. Martin has not overlooked the main object to be gained, viz., the production of strong hens capable of laying plenty of fine eggs. This is the purpose which he has back of "all his efforts. He is working for greater egg production and so far a* this is combined with exhibition qualities, . the two ideals go hand in h UK I . To those who may have a desire to follow in his footsteps and take up poultiy raising as a buaines, Mr. Martin would gire a word of warning. He did n-jt forsake city life and engage in his present occupation all at once. The transition was slow. Not until he found that he could make a living out of rais- ing chickens did he give up the work by means of which he supported himself. Wiih him it was no uncertain venture. McLean's Magazine. Thief Got Cold Feet A peculiar incident in connection with the sum of money which was found on the body of the Ule Capt. Archie McAr- thur, occurred ibis week, when the money was luken from Capt. McArthur's sou John, while the latter was going to the bank to deposit it. The muney was found ;i- nn yesterday in a lane near the City Hall, and the police are making a thorough investigation of the circum- stances surrounding the .-tffair. Ihe money, which amounted to $575, wax contained in a black leather pocket boc-k, along with a number of letters and papers belonging to the late Captain. On Wednesday, Citptaiu McArthur's son came to town in deposit the money in the bank, non after arriving in town, found he had been relieved of the pocket book containing thu money and paper?, as well as some money belonging to himself. He haJ no idea where the money went and at once reported the case to the police. Yesterday Mr. John Ferguson, while working around his livery barn near ihe City Hotel, noticed tho pocket bjok Ij in-/ in the lane and ut once handed it o\er to Chief McAuley. None of the money had IH-OII uken and evidently the tli>"i or thieves btcamu frightened and li-ti it where someone was suru lo pick il up. < ).S.Timee. An Heroic Rescue Owen Sound, December i!<i.

Have you ever crouched in a rush hide or "duck-blind" with a nor'west wind lasbing the slate waters outside until they showed their white fangs? Waited there numb and patient with the low-hanging clouds spitting little dart-like pellets of icy rain or snow against your face, the while you scanned the drab ukyscape in search of an Incoming Hock? asks A. P. Mc- Kishnie in The Canadian Courier. If you are a duck-sbooter you have learned that the best duck day Is the one that is dark and stormy. An old duck-sbooter once said to me in answer to my question of how he always knew when to go out after ducks, "Son, I just sit by the fire till sbe gets so tarnation nasty outside that 1 feel I don't ever want to KO out ag'in then 1 pick up my old num- ber ten and get goin'. About the only time you can make a decent bag Is when the weather's that bad 'taint lit for a mortal to be out In." True it is that the wild ducks, so cliy in time of calm, seem to be more trusting when the west wind piles up a sou aud the low-hanging clouds spit snow. They bate a choppy sea, a gale makes them uneasy. They are companionable creatures. During a calm the small (locks join the larger ones until out in the centre of the bay are miles and miles of ducks of various kirjds. Great redheads, king- ly canvas-backs, little widgeon, fat little buMlehead, saw-beaked shell dral:es, crested meganzers, spoon- bills, bluebllls, and plump ruddy .lurks join forces and banquet on the wild celery as one big family. Often the question is asked "How can I become a duck-shot?" I have never known an old duck-shooter who could answer the question. The fact It, no one knows just how he shoots durks, any more than an Indian knows just how he picks a coin from a slake with bow and arrow. He just knows how; that's all. Duck-shooting Is something every- body must learn how to master for himself. Of course one can advise on a side or stralght-away shot, or sug- gest that the shooter pick his bird and lead htm so far that he feels sure tie will shoot ahead of him. There are, however, a hundred difficult shots presented to the novice, when the ducks are flying well, and the prob- lem of how to make them he must solve for himself. I have known the best of Odd shots to miss shot after shot at ducks. On the other band, I have known men who could not bag a grouse or quail If they tried all day, do some phenomenal shoot UIK over water. Undoubtedly, the steady-nerved, level-headed man who van measure distance accurately and knows when the duck Is within the killing zone. M the one who will bag the most birds. The tendency seems, even with old shooters, to tire too soon. Ducks, particularly those coming Into decoys, look closer than they really are. It is a good idea to wait until you can see their eyes before you lire, and always pick your bird. In closing, this bit of advice to the novice who contemplates a little duck-shoot might not come amlsi. j Keep low In your hide, because an . Incoming duck will see you before ! you see him. Let the flock rome In .mil do not fire until they are about | to settle among the decoys. Take your time and always pick your bird or birds. If a flock passes across- Just outside y xii decoys don't make any mistake and shoot or raise up. They will, In nine cases out of ten, come back. When they return. If they do not attempt to settle, still keep low. They will come back but remember, only once more. Therefore, It Is well to be prepared to shoot the next time they twist above the decoys. It will Le your only chance with that Book.
