A Pet Wild Turkey. 
IN most communities there are certain persons 
who possess peculiar characteristics, habits and 
beliefs, and this is true of the long shore sports- 
man of the old mother State as of persons dwell- 
ing elsewhere. 
, Many of the old-time sportsmen.still carry and 
use their muzzle-loading guns, which cannot be 
displaced by more modern arms. They usually 
manage to bag a good many birds and other 
game, and this is chiefly due, it is believed, to 
their knowledge of the habits of the game. They 
seldom go out without finding something. 
A story is told of one gunner who—if any of 
the shot should fall from his hands while load- 
ing his gun—will at once return home and make 
no further effort to hunt that day, believing, as he 
says, that those lost were his luck shot, and it 
would be useless for him to continue the hunt. 
Another, whom I will call here “Captain Pete,” 
is a sailor and all-’round sportsman. He loves 
to teil of his adventures with his dogs and gun, 
and is seldom seen without them. He tells many 
stories about the accuracy of Sweet Lips, his 
gun, and declares he can beat any man “a shooten 
for a turkey in the United States of Virginny.” 
On the occasion of a turkey hunt near the 
Rappahannock River, Captain Peter claims to 
have shot a forty-pound wild turkey for which 
he was offered $4 cash. The gray whiskers on 
the turkey’s breast were eighteen inches long, 
and he had one wooden leg. Here Captain Pete 
gives a laugh that could be heard a half mile 
away. “Sar, he was the biggest turkey I ever 
saw. There were eighteen fellows in the bunch 
of us, and four others besides, and all ate a 
sumptuous meal from one-half of his breast.” 
Uncle Pete says he cannot account for that one 
wooden leg unless that turkey had been pre- 
viously owned by some one as a pet wild turkey. 
AT the last sale of plumes, held on Feb 13, 
8,508 birds of paradise skins were offered in Lon- 
don, and most of them were sold. During the 
six sales held in 1905, 36,138 birds of paradise 
were offered, and nearly ‘all of them were sold, 
and at higher rates than at previous sales, which 
means, of course, that they are becoming more 
scarce. As to feathers for the aigrette of fashion, 
figures show a total of 150,000 birds killed during 
the breeding season to supply the London market 
during 1905.—Shooting Times (London).
