William Curtis Gibson of East Houston street the oldest survivor of the Volunteer Fire Department he gives strong proof of his Scotch ancestry occasionally by his inability to appreciate a joke Mr Gibson was born in New York and he has always lived here His friends say that only once in his life has he traveled more than ten miles away from this city That was last summer when he went up to the Cats kills It was on this trip that he met a farmer who disgusted him witb every thing rural Mr Gibson says he never met a more stupid man and when he tells his squirrel story to prove it all his friends laugh The experiencee speaks for itself Mr Gibson was interested in the farm at first because it was a novelty At the end of the first week he said to the farmer Say this is great I am glad I came I wish that I might take some of your squirrels back to New York with me as souvenirs of this trip - coeoooeeQeooee9oe99e9cQ Secret of a Hunters Great Success Explained eesesseseeeeosooesseooseoeoeeoooeosoooeeseooeeaeeesc Great numbers of wild geese were killed along tbe Texas coast during the past winter as happens every year That region divides with the Dakotas in the fall the honor of being the greatest goose field on the Am erican continent The increasing shyness of the birds was more marked than ever The geese have been shot at so much in the same territory that they have not only grown wiser but many of them have ceased visiting that region It is no longer possible to kill quan tities of geese in Texas by simple pasg shooting or digging pits on the Gulf sandbars There died not long ago in the Nue ces region a Mexican poacher named Gregorio who in the winter sold geese by the dozen when other men could not get a feather All of that country Is in vast pastures fenced by barbed wire and Gregorio being a market hunter was ordered to stay out of them all In order to keep him out the gates which are far apart were locked and only the ranch bosses had keys Still Gregorio would continue to go from pasture to pasture covering thirty miles in a day and to show up in Corpus Christ or Rockport at night with Canada geese hanging to his sad dle and strung all over him One day an overseer of cowboys saw him a mile away on the prairie and being curious dismounted and watched him Gregorio was on foot 700 yards from a large flock of geese His pony had been unsaddled and un bridled 13 Keeping the horse between him and the geese the Mexican began to circle around them Now and then the pony stopped to take a mouthful of grass Any man let alono a goose would have taken him for a loose animal grazing on the prairie In course of an hour he had been worked within fifty yards of the thickest part of the bunch Some of the stragglers were not twenty yards from him Then Gregorio stepped from behind him and fired one barrel at the geese on the prairie and another as they rose He gathered five or six then rode to the division fence a quarter of a mile away Evidently it was his intention to enter the next pasture The fence was of three strands of wire the low est one two feet from the ground Gregorio got down from the saddle and at a word from him the horse sunk to his knees then turned upon his side Gregorio took him by the headstall and pulled his head under the fence then took him by the tail and pulled his hindquarters under and so pulling first at head and then at tail worked him through Once clear of the bottom wire the pony rose shook himself and stood to be mounted as if nothing but of the ordinary had happened The mystery of Gregorios ability to go from pas ture to pasture in search of geese and ducks was explained and the ranch boss was so tickled by it that he in structed his men to let the Mexican alone iliiilliiiiniii

them and they will come to you What kind of a niose ought I to make asked Mr Gibson eagerly Just make a noise like a nut re plied the farmer and off he walked When Mr Gibson tells this story he says positively that a nut does not make any noise and that a farmer whe had lived in the country all his life without discovering that fact is too stupid to live anywhere else New York Sun ji iiiui ir m

An empty stove no coal no matches no agent in sight While debating what to do to re lieve a trying situation I thought I heard a noise from within the ticket office which was hidden from view by a window covered with paint I lis tened closely and soon distinguished the hum of voices from within A little scratch in the paint cov ering the ticket window revealed on close examination four young men on the inside by a warm stove playing cards One was evidently the agent Enraged I kicked on the door and alternately rattled on the window till with a slow hestitating shove it went up a little and from within the agent a youth with a surlv air demanded What do you want Boiling with rage yet imperturbable as a millpond I asked for a telegraph blank which was flung to me and this is what 1
