Game Laws.

The following conversation from
Maurice Thompson's serial, MARVIN
and his Boy Hunters, in the 50. Nicho-
las, gives lucid explanation of the ne
cessity for laws for the protection Of
game:
'Why is it against the law to shoot
larks and robins?" said Hugh; 81
don't see why it is any worse to kill
them than it is to kill quails."
!. ''Why is it worse to kill q horse than
it is to Kill pig?" inquired Uncle Char
ley.
because a pigs good to eat and a
horse isn't" quickly answered Hugh.
"Isnt there q better reason?" said
Uncle Charley; isn't a horse more use
full to us as a servant than it would be
for food, even if its flesh were de-
licious?"
"Certainly," said Hugh.
"Well, meadOw-lark is very use
full bird to the farmer. 1t eats great
number of insects, eggs and larvae
that would work great harm to wheat,
corn and orchards; then its flesh is not
very good, while quail eats grain, and
its flesh is excellent food. Do you see
the diflcrence?"
THAT does seem reasonable" said
Hugh; 81 hadn't thought of it in that
way. A meadow-lark is like horse
it helps the farmer make his crop by
destroying bugs and things; and the
quail is like a pig-it eats corn and
wheat and gets fat, to be killed and
eaten
Uncle Charley laughed.
81 see you apply theory in very
practical sort of way" he remarked.
"But the law protects all kinds of harm
less birds, the flesh of which is not
profitable for food" he continued,
"out of fear of the influence that the
mere wanton slaughter of birds would
have upon the morals of the people. If
a boy is allowed to be cruel as he grows
up, he is likely to develop into dan
gerous man. l think there is a great
difference between q moderate indul-
gence in feld-sports and the abandon
ment of ones self to the brutal and in
discriminate slaughter of birds and an
imals."

Miss Flora Stewart, a Richie County
lady, young and handsome, was engaged
to be married recently. Her wedding
outfit was prepared. The day arrived
and the preacher was on hand, but one
thing was lacking to make the nuptials
a success, and that was the bridegroom.
This important parsonage failed to put
IN an appearance. 1t happened that
the preacher was single man and had
an eye for beauty and heart for love,
and the damsel was youthful, comely
and susceptible, so the minister offered
to fill the place of the absent groom.
She accepted the offer and became Mrs.
