Show Teal Slip Out of Huntnrs Reach. Teal leave tho water with astonishing astonish-ing smartness, and if the shooting is In brush ths gunner Is likely to bo reminded of tho thunderous grouse, by tho way those brown bantams, tho blue-wings, slip out of reach of his sudden storm of lend. And how they can go when they discover what their danger is! I havo stood In the cattails cat-tails by a pond at evening when tho teal were co- 'ng In to rost and havo seen them burst Into a speed, upon detecting de-tecting me, that required a 20-foot swinging lead to stop at 40 yards. Thoy are hn"dsomo birds, too, those teal, and gras Is tho man that can chuck them in his shooting coat with-out with-out a glance of admiration at tho trim lines of them.
