A Religious Innovation.
A certain well-brought-up little girl
yawned at ilie breakfast table last
Sunday morning and ventured a polite
proposition to her mother.
"1 really don't feel at all like going
to church this morning," sho re-
marked. "Can't we Just send cards?"
llllRTY rears ago this
-prlng my wire father
built a flni bottomed sloop.
•f."i feet lotig tin the keol
and 17 feet wide, with
ui enclosed cabin that has
111ai • - windows instead of
portholes, and a head
room of six feet all over
it This cabin is 21
feei Jong, and consists of one large
room with four wide berths, and a toi-
let room and a kitchen on either side
of the centerboard, at the forward
end.
Father named the boat Macy, after
an old friend, and lias had her con-
tinuously In commission since she was
launched; and Andrew Sammis, her
first captain, is still in charge—a bit
gray now, but still the same careful
and trustworthy skipper as of yore.
With the opening of the ducking sea-
Ron In October she goes Into wtiat we
call winter commission, and when the
end of the season comes around she
Is hauled out, thoroughly overhauled
and prepared fcr tl'e summer work.
A few years ago wo built an overhang-
ing stern on her and Installed a gaso-
line engine, so that we are no longer
the slaves of the wind god. The
"Macy's Baby," as the stoolboat that
carries the battery Is culled, Is al-
ways at her stern, and this, with the
addition of two skiffs and one or more
dinkles for use In the Ice, makes 'inito
« formidable tow for tho old boat.
When we have more than a day or
two to spend In the quest for the
wily duck, we send the Macy out early
to get a good place, and have a cat-
boat meet us at tho dock to sail over
to her Generally we catch a train
that arrives at Babylon at half-past
three o'clock, and we reach the dock
'.en minutes afterwards.

troubles and worries, and come with us down to
till some brant It is half-past one o'clock, and
1 look ui> from my desk and see my father's smil-
ing face as lie says: "Come, ituster, It Is time
'xj start." In a moment 1 have put on my eoat
md hat, and we are on our way to the Wall street
intrance of the subway, as happy ns ever two
ichoolboys starting on a holiday were. We meet
rou on the platform, and I relieve you of your
>ag or gun as we board a Brooklyn train. We
:hange at Atlantic avenue to the I ng Island
.rain, and soon are at Jamaica, where we change
>nco more to the local steam train and while
iway tho next hour in swapping stories The
train stops at Babylon, and we pllo out on the
platform and into the dilapidated hack that
'.akos us down to tho dock. As It Is early In the
season and the days have not yet shortened
enough to make It impossible for us to reach
>ur destination before dark, the Macy Is awaiting
us, anchored Just off the dock, and wo see our
good George coming ofr In the littlo skiff to speed
iiy set us on board.
As you board the skiff you will not have to ask
3eorge, "Are there any birds?" for he will say:
"Brant? Why, there's 5,000,000 of the cusses In
Cedar Island cove. We'll have some o' them crit-
ters. and don't you forget it." Captain Andrew
{roots us with a cheery "Good day, gentlemen,"
la we reach his side, and you enter the cabin
to find upon the tnble a pleasant welcome in the
ihape of a generous drink for each of us. My
father's hearty toast, "(}lad to see you on board,
lr," makes you feel at home at once.
We promptly lay aside our "store t lothee" and
ion our old shooting things, as tlr men get the
anchor up and hoist the sail, and are soon in
tho cockpit enjoying the fresh air Our progress
In slow and stately, duo to the flotilla behind us,
but we have only about four miles to go. Notice
now thu third member of our crew, a big, tall,
fair haired man with a smiio that never corien
aff This is Ansel, a newcomer to the Macy in
.'oinpnrison with tho skipper, for Aii.'J has been
with us only 20 years lie is a very important
personage, for he is the engineer, cl ef, mate, gen-
eral utility man nnd fun-maker tor us all. Hark!
There Is iiis voice now calling us to dinner
You sit down before a smoking leg of lamb and
dishes of vegetables, with an nppctito to which
you have been a stranger for a 1 ng time, nnd
eat and eat. of the good things before you until
you are astonished at yourself Topping off with
some nf the chef's famous pudding, and helping

centerboard trunk, you are content I take the
wheel to let the men go below to eat their dinner,
and by the time they have finished we arrive at
the place whore we will test out the battery In ttie
morning.
At ten o'clock we turn Into our berths ready for
an early call to breakfast At four o'clock we are
Bulled, and by the time we are dressed the break-
fast Is piping hot on the table Wo hurry through
uiir meal to let tho men eat theirs, and while
they are fixing out the battery and stool, we
take a bit of a nap
The skjppcr calls us when he m-ch the men
have tie stool nearly all out, and you and 1 put
un our sweaters and n dark coat, take our guns
and i ells, und get into the skiff, to be rowed to

the battery. The
battery, or "box,"
as it is more often
termed, Is set
pretty well to the windward of the bulk of the
decoys, with Just enough of them around it to
hide it from birds coming down on the head, and
In getting In we pick our way carefully through
the decoys and stop from the skiff well over to-
ward the center, so as not to get any water in
the boxes. On the deck of the box we have 12
Iron decoys that are cut off on the bottom, so as
to loom up higher than those on t'ie water, and
these we distribute around, heads to tho wind,
to make the box lay level. We each have a rub
her cloth and an old sweater to lie on, and a
doth covered rubber pillow for our heads. Ad-
justing these comfortably, we load our guns
cock them and place them against the side on
our right hand, taking care to keep at least two
Inches of the barrels over the end of the box, so
that In rase of an accidental discharge there will
be no hele blown In the box Ixing experience
in battery shooting has taught me that the long
