RANT THOUGHTS ON A VARIETY OF THINGS "sportsmen" is an insult to every true hearted lover of dog and gun and rod and reel. A few weeks ago the moulder of this department gave space to a medly of, musings under tho above title, lie is impelled to do so again by the re ceipt of several letters in varying veins, two of which are published in part that the reader may fully under stand the comments made. The first one is from Pueblo, Colorado, and reads in part: "Dear Sir: Your Some Vagrant Thoughts on a Variety of Things in Tho Commoner of September 23, suits my taste O. K. Come with some more' The letter is signed by a leading attorney of Pueblo, and furtner con veys the information that tho writer thereof has sent to the writer of this department a volume entitled "Home spun Odds and Ends' written by the attorney himself. The other letter is considerably long er and conies from the opposite side of the country Philadelphia. It ieacls in part as follows: "Dear Sir: I regret to see in your article entitled 'Some Vagrant Thoughts etc.a disposition to con demn the man who does not possess, nor desire to possess, the love of kill ing for sport. Can a man not love nature without desiring to kill what is beautiful in nature? Can he not go out, as you must have often done, without 'gun over 'shoulder and glorify the Creator' by "beholding His" handiwork, not from behind a blind with murderous thoughts in hi3 heart for I for one fail to see where killing one of God's creatures for sport is different from killing another but standing erect with his eyes towards the Sky, delight in the fleetness of the beautiful birds and thank the Crea tor for having sent us such charming friends. As to being 'watched tell me, my friend, who will- bear watching best Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emer son, who loved nature, whose veins ran rich, red blood, whoss hearts pulsed for all creation, who never lay in ambush like the cruel Indian lying in wait for innocent prey, or Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt who delight in killing for.sjport's sake?"

Mo. Your true sportsman kills only for food for himself and his friends. He is too big of heart and broad of mhd to kill wantonly. When the moulder of this department was on the line be tween boyhood and maihood he went hunting with another fellow of about the same age. Tho other fellow was not, never was, and never could be a genuine sportsman. He fired into a covey of sitting quail and Mlled four teen or fifteen of them. The moulder reprimanded him, hot words followed, there was a "scrap" that lasted about ten minutes, and then two boys took twp separate ways through the woods. Which came off victor deponent say eth not, but he never went gunning with that fellow again, shunned him at school and upon the streets, and was not surprised when the fellow finally went to Jefferson Citj by re quest of the state and spent eight years in the penitentiary, wnevo he was taught lessons of honor and hon estysaid lessons consisting of mak ing contract shoes with paper soles. The Philadelpha friend's letter re minds me pf the little story of. the fashionable woman who saw some street Arabs playing with some young birds yet unable to fly. "0, you cruel boys-' she' exclaimed. "How can you be so cruel as to give anguish to the heart of the mother Dird?" "Dat's all right, mum said one of the boys. "De mudder o' dese boids ain't worryin.

The big bass swallows the little fish and retires to await another victim. Thats nature. A man, tired of the city's monoton ous roar, tired of the almost endless tasks, weary of the everlastingly same variety of food dished up before him in a boardinghouse tired of all these things the man hastens to the lake with rod and reel. He rows out upon the water, -ties on Ms fly or frog, casts towards the lilypad, and tho big basB strikes. Then comes the fight. Here, there, up, down and across! The fly ing leap into the air when the bass shakes the silver drops from his gleaming side3. Now he lurks at the bottom, resting for the next round. A dash, an angry shake at the hook, a final despairing struggle, and the fish is reeled in. A little latter tho man sits down with an appetite like a shark and eats that big bass, oven as the big bass ate the little one. Is it any -worse for the man to get his fish that -way than it is for him to buy worse aft the fish market? The Master once &ave some directions to a lot of fteherinen, and by following His directions they made the record catch for Gallilee. The less of a sportsman a man is the more he will brag about the size of his catch. That's "axiomatic. Tho real sportsman never tries to inaico a big catch merely for the fun of it. The moulder of this department fears that his Philadelphia friend has taken the wrong view of the vagrant thoughts hereinbefore mentioned.
