that deer can be killed on July Is in any
county of the State. This is certainly q
grievious mistake, which may possibly
lead many persons into bad mess. The
State law provides that 1t shall be unlaw-
full to kill male deer between the 18th day
of October and the 18th day of July, and
repeals all laws and ordinances in con-
flict Herewith, but only such as are In
conflict Therefore any ordinance passed
by the Boards of Supervisors of the several
counties of the State that is not in con-
fict with the State law is not repealed.
1t must be remem bered that the State
law provides thatit shall be unlawful TO kill
deer between October 10 and July is, not
that it shall be lawful to kill between July
Is and October Is. Consequently the
Supervisors have the power to say that it
shall also be unlawful TO kill deer at any
other time between July Is and October 15.
The game law repealed only such acts
and parts of acts as were IN conflict with
it. Section 2915 Of the County Govern
ment act gives the Supervisors power to
pass ordinances for the protection of game
and fish, and that power has not been
taken away from them any further than
to prevent a conflict with the State law
All ordinances that have been passed by
the Supervisors since the present game
law went into effect, that provide tor an
open season for deer, whose limits are
within the three months between the 10Th
of July and the 18th of October, and have
not been repealed by the board, are not in
conflict with the general law and are
therefore still in force.
In some counties where ordinances have
been passed, either the opening dates
have been set prior to July 15 or the clos
ing dates later than October 15 Such
ordinances have been repealed by the gen.
eral law. In the sporting department. oi

KEEP THE STREETS CLEAN
Merchants Association Camp on
Superintendent Ashworth's
Trail.
His Attention Called to the Fact That
Western Addition Streets
Are Filthy.

The officers of the Merchants Associa-
ton still keep careful watch upon all
street work. and particularly street clean
ing, although this line of work has for
some time past been in the hands of the
Superintendent of Streets. When that
public official is thought to be sighting
or neglecting his duties he is politely In
formed of the fact in such q communica-
ton as the following:
Thomas Ash,porth Esq, Superintendent of Pub
lie Streets, Highways and SquGres-DEAR SIR:
frequent complaints have been received by
this association during the past month from
residents in the Western Addition regarding
the accumula ton of dirt in the cutters in that
district, and no doubt your office has received
even more. This district has been regularly
inspected by us, and, as the sweeping by the
torily performed, it is apparent that these ac-
cumulations in the cutters result from the alb
sence of he Especial crew." which was espe.
cially provided for the purpose OF giving extra
cleanings to the cutters of this district in the
intervals between regular sweepings.
As was pointed out by yourself last year,
many streets in this district, owing to the
smooth pavements and the high Winds do not
redalire as frequent cleaning over the entire
surface of the street as they do in che cutters,
into which the greater portion OF the dirt is
blown by the winds and passage OF the electric
cars. One thorough cleaning once month
by the regular gang will be sufficient to keep
the main portion OF these stree Is in good con-
dition, but the cutters require additional
cleanings during the MONTH and on certain
streets in the fat portion-such as Devisadero
from Turk to California, Scott and Steiner
from Golden Gate avenue to Post, and Fill
more Webster and Buchanan from Eddy to
Post, and others-require repeated cleanings
between the intervals of regular sweeping.
During the past month the streets In the
Western Addition, owing solely to the accum-
ulation in the cutters. have been in worse
condition than in any other portion oil the
City. In consideration OF the above facts this
association respectfully asks that, as the fiscal
year has commenced and funds are now
available, you will order the contractors to re-
sume work with the especial crew. and re-
quire them to confine the work OF this crew as
much as possible TO the streets swept once d
month north of Turk street and west OF Van
Ness avenue as these are the streets on which
the dirt accumulates most rapidly in the gut
ters.
Trusting that you will give this matter your
early consideration we remain, very respect
fully, MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION.

She Tells of the Corporal That Fol-
lowed the Pathfinder.
Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont. in her
story of 1.-The Guard" body of young
men who followed 1.-THE Pathfinder" into
the Civil War and made brilliant record
for their courage and gallantry, tells a
pathetic little story of dumb beast who
also was loyal and courageous.
While the guard-a body OF cavalry-was
drilling one day near St Louis, little
fox-terrier followed one of the men, Herr
Visa, Hungarian officer. going with him
to camp. He could not be driven away.
The men all made pet of him and
named him the ''Corpora1;" but, though
he was affable to them all, he made the
Hungarian soldier his companion and
friend, sleeping at his feet at night and
following him by day.
When the guard made their memorable
charge at Springfield, Mo-, the Corporal
charged with them, keeping beside his
masters horse throughout the battle.
parentiy dead in a thicket. The corps
swept past, his horse fed, wild with terror,
but the little "CorporaP' nestled close be-
side him, licking his face and trying to
rouse him.
There the dog remained through the
bitter cold night. When morning came
he ran to the distant road, and by his
frantic barks and cries induced passer by
to enter the thicket.
The man, seeing only cold, stiff body,
supposed the soldier to be dead and would
have hurried on, but the Corporal furi-
ously drove him back and would not be
siIenced until he saw his master move and
speak, when he crouched, dumb and con-
tented, at his feet.

and he, taking a seat in the operators
chair, told the dentist that he had one he
wanted ''yanked" out.
The dentist gave the tooth several pre-
liminary probes with a sharp instrument,
which appeared to give the countryman
great pain, and then told the countryman
that as this tooth was very sensitive it
would be necessary for him to take gas to
deaden the pain which would be caused
by the operation.
The countryman grew indignant at this
and very quickly informed the dentist
that he would take coaloil if necessary,
but he'd be stgoldarn eff he would go gas"

by takin it." The dentist pulled the
