MOnhegan.

Monhegan is pleasant isle,
As fair as fair can be,
The sweetheart of the summer sun,
The jewel of the sea.
The tide curls soft about her foot,
The wind blows glad and free,
Monhegan! oh, Monhegan.
lis there my heart would be.
So lofty rise her sea-beat cliffs,
So steep her crags do fall,
So solemn stands her silent woods,
A charm is DER them all:
And in her fields the flowers blow,
So sweet and cheertuly,
Monhegan! oh, Monhegan!
lis there my heart would be-
Between her mighty arms of rock
The little boats do lie
Her fishers singing cast their nets,
Their ISLAND home is nigh.
Her folk are kindly, staunch and true,
AS any folk see;
Monhegan! oh, Monhegan!
It's there my heart would be.
And every hour, or noon or night,
There swells about the shore
The song that will my heart delight
Till stirs that heart no more.
Oh! list to it! oh! bark to it.
The music of the sea.
Monhegan! oh, Monhegan!
It's there my heart would be.

The Game Laws.
Repeal the whole Code, says Rangeley Lakes
and Begin New

and Begin New.
The suggestion that Rangeley Lakes is
about to make. we admit. is broad one.
and we presume will meet with much OPP
position in many sections Yet we can
see no other way out Of the labyrinth of
misconstructions and unconstitutionalism
of the fish and game laws as they stand to-
day on the statute books of Maine. 1t takes
a very bright lawyer to define certain por-
lions, and when his opinion has been given,
up comes rescupt from some Judge, or
decision from the law court, and upsets
it all. There is but one remedy and that
is a most heroic one. Repeal the whole
code.
This may sound anarchical, but after
the repeal has been made, begin on a solid
foundation. Do not say it shall be illegal
to fish through the ice in Franklin and
certain other counties, when you can step
over the imaginary line into Somerset or
some other county and legally fish from
the same pond.
Do not say you shall not kill deer in
Cumberland and certain other counties,
but just over the line, in the rest of the
State, you are free to shoot. Do not pro-
tect muskrats in all parts of the State,
save in Lily pond in the towns of Rockport
and Camden, where it is 'slawfu to kill
muskrats at all seasons of the year" Do
not insert clause, ''all laws and parts of
laws conflicting with the above act are
hereby repealed"
Make one general law to cover the whole
State on trout, togue and landlocked sal
mon. Make a deer, deer, anywhere in
Maine. and one law to regulate the kill
ing. Make the laws simple and plain to be
understood
Why exempt this pond and open that
one? Why have close time begin earlier
in one county than in the others for trout
and landlocked salmon? Why have a hun
bred or more special and private laws that
are already covered with general laws9
In what does the law and justice or com
mon sense, consist in saying? Any per
son legally engaged in the artificial cult
ure and maintenance of fishes, may take
them in his own enclosed waters : as
many and when he pleases, and may at all
times sell them for cultivation and propa-
CATION, but he shall not sell them for food
at seasons when the taking thereof is pro-
hibited." The same question may be
asked in connection with parties having an
enclosed deer park. They may have
brought the deer from out of the State
but yet have no right to dispose of it in
close time, or even have the meat in DOS
session.
Rub the whole thing out and begin new
and see if modern methods may not i'm
prove the old. Rangeley Lakes.
