into romantic shapes, us if to say:
"Behold, you dwell in an ideal

The House of the Ohio Legislature
has passed Senator Hughey's bill to
prohibit the shipping of quail from the
State, with the amendment providing
that it shall also be unlawful to kill
quail for the purpose of sale in the mar.
ket of this State. The reception by any
person within this State of any such
birds for shipment to point without
the State shall be prima facie evidence
that the birds were killed within the
State for the purpose of carrying them
beyond its limits. A fine of from $25 to
$50 is provided for each offense.
