Let every hunter worthy OF tne name

Icor, what is for their own interests in

IAN abundance of game means al

AN abundance OF money to the guides

TO be destroyed, wastefully, unlawful!y
is to take money out OF their OWL
pockets. When the people In the game

An ancedote of the kaiser and the
tramp has just appeared in Berlin pa
pers, says the Pail Mall Gazette. Kaiser
William was, it seems, lately staying
at the Jagdschloss HubertstoclS, near
the Angermunde, and was one day
shooting in that neighborhood. a
tramp deserted him from afar, and, not
knowing it was the emperor, aceosted
him with the usual German request for
understanding or financial propping up.
and also wished to be directed as to the
road to Angermunde. The kaiser COM
piled with both requests, conversed
with him at length as to his personal
and professional views of life, and dis
missed him with wish for pleasant
end to his days journey. The pleasant
end was in the police station, for one
of the kaiscr's servants, who seemed to
be of the Scotchman's opinion that it
was IAN awfu' like business for puir
fouk tae lulk ut q king" imagined that
the emperor had been insultcd and tele-
graphcd far and wide for the arrest of
the pilgrim, with accompaniment of
bonds. fetters, handouts, and 30 on.
The wanderer was run to earth at An
germunde, when he learned several
things that he did not know before
inter-alia, that he had been speaking
with the kaiser and was guilty of high
treason, anarchism and the like. Need
less to say, he was speedily released by
an impetuous telegram from the en-
Peror, who ordered that he should be
fed, comforted and have free ticket to
Cuxhaven, where he told me he wanted

ROUGH on TIE SENTRY.

The Remedy Was All Right, But It was
owen 80 che wr.-n nG.n.
One of the most amusing stories of
the day treats Of mistaken philan-
thropy, according to Tid-Bits. At a
certain army post there was a London
sentry on duty near the hospital. The
surgeon was preparing to go to bed in
side. when he was annoyed and alarmed
at the sentry's coughing. His ex-
perienced ear told him that the man
had severe bronchial aff1iction need
ing strong remedy.
He debated awhile with himself and
then going into the dispensing-room
compounded q powerful mixture. This
he took outside to the sentry. with in
structions to swallow II Immediately.
The man refused. The surgeon in
sisted, and finally commanded the
soldier to take the medicine, which he
did with much grumbling. Then the
worthy surgeon went to bed, pleased to
hear no more coughing.
Next morning, to his surprise, the
commanding officer sent for him and
said that the sentry had complained.
declaring that the surgeon had forced
him to swallow something he thought
was poison. An investigation followed,
and revealed the fact that while the
surgeon was mixing the medicine tho
coughing sentry had been relieved, and
consequently the remedy had been
given to the wrong man.
