"I did?.'t have any fun with boars," said Mr. Fletcher, but I was determined to get 6ome wild turkoys before tho season closed with the end of the year, and I Rot 'em. Shooting wild turkeys is pretty fine work, and if you happen to get sight of a gobbler's fiery reel wattles in the woods, the chances aro about twenty to one that you won't get the gobblor if you fire at nim. So 1 didn't fool away any powder on any of theso fourteen turkoys, and I got overy one of 'em without firing a shot. n ,i:.i t j ? ii? t * uuw um x uu il f i caugni mem alive in rustic coops and then wrung their necks. All they cost me was a little labor with a hatchet and jack knife and about a bushel of corn. "When I find where the wild turkeys room or are in the habit of roosting on the mountains, I go to the placo any time in the forenoon and rig up a number of coops out of saplings and withes. 1 mako them look as harmless and as much like the surroundings as I possibly can, pulling limbs down over them and partly concoaling them. The saplings I use 1 cut quite a distance from whore I build tho trap, using the hatchet for that purpose, and with my jack knife I out and trim the withos. Then I drive three stakes into the ground, and build up a three cornered trap, ny laying one sapling on top of anothor, after 1 L-? L. lui mu ok} iu ui uui uuuaing, until I havo got a coop four feet high and big enough to hold half a dozen turkeys, binding tho corners together i with withes. The end opposite the sharpest corner is mode much narrower than tho sides, and I leave that entirely open fifteen inches from the ground until I get the trap made and covered with brush. The front is about three feet wido. Thon I weave withes together till 1 get a mat fifteen inches by thirty-six, making it so light that tho push of a turkoy s head will lift it as it hangs by witho hinges from the inside of tho lower sapling. That is all there is to tho coop. Then I dump about a quart of corn in the center 01 it, pull the brush around carefully toward tho entrance, and sprinkle corn along the ground from tho heap in tho trap for a distance of a couple of rods or so. "Wild turkeys aro just as fond of corn as tamo ones arc. Just so sure as tlicy run across that row of kernels, just so 6uro will they pick and gobble , them till they find themselves poking their bills into the little heap or corn in tho traps.

The most that I ever caught at one time was a torn and two liens, and I got them in the first trap I made.

A dozen years ago tho trotter flourished like the green bay tree, and running races, outside of those upon the timo honored course at Loxlngton, were practically unknown in thestato. Every fair had its trots and everybody was interested in tho trotter. Now the thoroughbred reigns supreme, and the trotter lias been rolegated to tho roar. Thousands can now bo found who will read the most trifling gossip about Proctor Knott, while a poll of thestate would hardly disclose a dozen whc could name too sire of Maud S. or JayEye-See. Tho Kontucky stud formi still breed trotters for tho outside market, but none for "homo consumption." Tftio people here will have none but running races, and notliing in the shape of a thoroughbred bang-tail is toe rich for their blood. This love for the flyer, however, is not solely responsible for tho declino of trotting in Kentucky. Before its dissolution, a dozen or more years ago. the trotting ring had become rotten to tho core, and (1 was this corruption moro than any tiling clso that caused its death. The efforts of the Louisville Driving Pari to revive tho corpse and to conduct future races on an honorable basil were praisoworthy enough, but they camo too late.

WOOING Of AN AUTHOR. i Sober* Unto Bteremon'a Roman tie Mar- i rla|( to a Ulvoroed Woau. ? Robert Louis Stevenson first came , here eight years ago to ret married- j i Whon ne was taking that trip that bore i fruit in his book, 'An Inland Voy- ( L age," he met in Paris Mrs. Samuel Osborne, of San Francisco. She bad , married young Samuel Osborne, who , was private secretary to Senator Stan- 1 ford. She waa a brilliant brunette. ,1 , Her husband had gone with her on a j vacation, but he luul been recalled* , 1 She and Stevenson fell in love t at first sight. Their literary and , - personal tastes ran in the same chan. , nels, and the author spent much time , in her company. When she left for , ; home it was understood that she was i to get a divorce from her husband by i means of the easy proooeses of the , California courts, and when this was , accomplished Stevenson would oorae , out to the Golden Stnte hnd. pjakehor his wife. When Osborne waS tola of 1 the desire of his wife ho mado no objection, and even gave his wife all the i , aid in his power. The result was that i she obtained her freedom. Then the tidings were sent to the , JL-i?ij- ~ uisiuui lover, ana no prepared to come out in the west for his inamorata. Stevenson engaged passage in the steerage of ono of the great ocean lines, with the dosign of writing up his experience. Ho liad a sorry time among tho emigrants. Thiscxperionoe, however, didn t cure him, as he too* passage in an emigrant car and crossed the plains in that fashion. This was worse than the steerage trip, and the journey consumed two wee lea When Btevonson reached San Francisco ho was a sorry object. Foul air and poor food had reduced his strength and he was a semi-invalid. He was received, however, with open arms. As soon as ho was cleaned up by a scries of sulphur baths the wedding was held. Osborne gave away the bride, his ex-wife, with the heartiness of manner that might have been expected in the most disinterested person, while he capped tho climax by introducing to the oride and groom a handsome and stylishly dressed young woman as his affianced wife. The marriage feast was very gay. Soon after Stevenson went with his bride to a deserted camp on Howell mountain to recuperate his health. There ho wrote the book which he called "The Silverado Squatters." It is a curious fact that Osborne, to whoso good nature Stevenson was indebted ror his wife, disappeared shortly after his second marriage, and no one has ever heard of him since.

Tho shocking death of h female tamer of wild beasts Is reported from Hohenmuth, in uonemia. one was a girl 26 years old, named Bertha Baumgartner. During a public performance In a strolling menagerie she entered an empty cage, and the door of an adjoining cage was then opened to let a lion and a Bengal tiger enter. The lion walked in quietly, but the tiger, a ferocious beast, which had three times wounded its keeper, crouched in the doorway* and snowed temper. The girl lost nerve, cried for help and slipped. As she did so the tiger made a spring, bit her on the shoulder, then in the throat, literally rent her to Faeces and tossed her body about Half it? iv.
