10 MUST RESPECT GAME LAWS.

The MADISONIAN is requested to an
nounce that by reason Of the decision
of the supreme court Of the United
States, handed down May %, 1896, all
doubt as to the right of the state Of
Montana to punish Indians for violation
OF the state game laws is removed, as
the act admitting the state of Montana,
%abrogated the treaty with the Bannack
Indians to that extent. This was held
to be the law in the case Of Ward VS..
Racehorse, appealed from the circuit
court of the United States for the dis
trict Of Wyoming. The law applies to
this state and Wyoming alike. Any in
Engagements of the game law. by the In
dians, if reported to the county officials
will be vigorously prosecuted. The ex-
tinction of the game in Madison county
is largely due to the indiscriminate
slaughter by the Indians: in fact. Lo
seems to take delight in wantonly STAY
ing the game SO that his white brother
may have none. 1t is a fact within the
knowledge of the writer, that within
the last few years large quantities Of
game have been killed in this county
by the Indians tor the hides alone: the
flesh being left to rot. 1t has been sup
posed. prior to the decision above quot
ed, that Indians had the right to disre-
gard the law, which binds the white
man, and no prosecutions have been at
tempted for that reason. The people
should interest themselves in this mat
ter and promptly report all violations
Of the law, to the end that the Indian
may be compelled to respect the law as
! well as the whites.

= STRANGE FREAK OF A CHILD.
SHE EATS IRON ORE, AND PREFERS r.
TO CAKE OR CANDY.

Laporte. Gnd.) Cor. Chicago Chronicles
The strange case of the little daughs
ter of James Grdner, Of Besscnnef,
Mich, continues to attract the6sten-
tion Of the medical fraternity. Mr..
Gardner, who Is miner, lives near
the. mine where lie Is employed. The
child has developed and dnncontrollable'
appetite for iron ore, which she eats
with relish, and In spite Of her peculiar
diet is apparently healthy, strong and
bright. The child Is now but two
years OF age and has been addicted to
the habit ever since she could creep.
She eats particles Of ore which she
gathers with her baby fingers from the
ground. When the child has been
kept away from the mine she has been
known to scrape the ore from her
fathers boots, devouring the ferrugin.
Gus food with singuar relish. The
family have tried many plans to break
the habit, but as yet without avail.
They have tried the experiment Of
mixing all kinds of obnoxious drugs
with the ore, but beyond making q
wry face the concoction is devourcd
with gusto. The family have now
adopted stringent methods to break
the child OF the habit and she is never
allowed to get out of sight for mo-
ment. Mr.. Gardner is very much an.
noyed at his child's novel habit, while
noted physicians have been unable to
break the little ones mania.

Times Union.
In an address, Major Mckinley re-
Gently stated that in 1892 there were
$7.373, $50 sheep in the United States,
valued at 1925, 100000, while in 1895
there we're only 3S, 600, valued at
$G5, 100000. This is a decrease OF As
per cent In the total value OF the sheep
in the country, il Major Mckinley's
statistics are correct, and he attri-
butes this decrease to the fact that
that wool, protected in 1902, is now on
the free list.
Major Mckinley did not mention
the fact that the decrease In the value
OF horses, clearly not affected by any
change In the tariff, was greater than
that In the value of sheep. In 1892
the total value of horses in the United
States was 81, ,OO7 500, 1886, and in 1896 it
was only $500, l40,lS6 This is loss OF
$507, ,453, $50, Or more than so per cent.
Why is it that the decline In value of
any animal whose price is not affected
by the tariff Is greater than that Of
one that the Republicans have always
pretended to protect?
But what did the Mckinley bill d.
for wool? When it was enacted cloth.
ing wool was worth % cents per pound.
When it was repealed it was worth
less than Is cents. Carpet woods de-
creased under this bill from Il to 6
cents. The wOol-grower goo nothing
from the Mckinley bill. His product
was lower when this bill was repealed
than when IL was enacted. The man.
ufacturer of wool profitcd by the
passage Of the bill. Wool carpets per
square yard increased from 1923 to
1913 while the the Mckinley bill was
in operation. This measure had every.
thing for the manufacturer. 1t had
nothing except humbug and deceit for
the farmer.

BE CAREFUL THiT YOU SLY.
In speaking of persons faults.

In speaking of n persons faults.
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember. those with homes OF glass,
Should seldom throw stone.
IL we have nothing else to do
But talk Of those who sin.
'Tis better We commence ut home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should We not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and Who has not?
The old as well as young;
Perhaps We may. for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
Ill tell you OF better plan
You'll find 1t works full well;
To try your own defects to cure
Before you others tell.
And though | sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know.
My oH n shortcomings hid me let
The faults OF others go.
Then let us all when we commence
To slander friend or foe.
Think Of the harm one word may do,
To those We little know.
Remember curses, sometimes like
Our chickens. "rOost ut home;"
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none OF our own.

CANDY EATING.

Hhrpcrs Bazaar.
In this day, when the laws Of health
are understood, as they were not hfty
years ago, people invcigli in voice and
print against the evils OF candy.eat-
ing; and children, hearing the protest,
feel their little hearts sink within
them. 1t is natural for the babies to
love sugar plums, and it is the abuse,
not the use OF sweets that Is repre-.
hensiblc. One man, with a superb
digestion and normal appetite, says
lie has always made it his custom to
eat several pieces OF candy after his
MONDAY meal, and that he has never
felt any evil effects from the practice.
A little sweet following meal will not
harm healthy child, but the mother
must judge as to the quality. She may
keep on hand box of simple pepper
mints or plain chocolates, and after
dinner give to the little one as many
as she deems prudent. The stomach
often Graves, and usually digests read
lily, sweets after il hearty meal. The
perniciOus habit OF allowing children
to purchase candy galore and cat it ad
libitum is what ruins stOmaclis, per-
verts the appetite and destroys teeth.
Until the child is old enough to dis.
criminate and exercise self-contrOl,
the mother must chuOse for him. But
IN exercising this right she must not
carry it to unreasonable extent, and
deny her little one that which, used
judiciously, will not harm him, and
which forms one OF the chief treats
Of childhood. The words "candy"
and "ice cream" convey to the childish
mind depths OF bliss such as grown
woman can scarcely conceive Of. Let
not us, who have passed that happy
stage, when the sight OF bonbOn
caused a thrill OF delight, deny too
vigorously to our little ones the sim.
pie sweets OF life.

NEWSPAPER DEAD BEATS. - You
can always tell a person who Is
too stingy TO subscribe for their cOun-

and run down its correspondents for
publishing 'scum" news, when they
themselves are the mere scrapings OF
humanity; they are known for their
long tongues, that never utter any.
thing but a foul lie: they are an eye
sore on the community, and ign0-
rance Is there only virtue; they would
scorn at virtue, and sell their own
souls for less than thirty pieces OF
silver. This Is the class that beats
their county paper, yet they read It
regularly. They read this one and
we are glad of 1t. Their long tongues
advertise our articles, advertise ouI
advertisers, and In the end our busi.
ness and that OF those who patr0nize
US is largely increased by these press
dead-beats.-Br0Okhaven Citizen.

WHO ARE THE "ANARCHISTS ?"

W. J. Bryan, our next President, in
the following forcible manner answers
the enemies OF the peoplc-those men
who would sell their blrthright for
mess Of porridge and dance with
ghoulish glee upon the graves Of
American institutions
Those people who have attempted
to array few OF the people against
the rest Of the people and who have
insisted that the affairs Of this Gov.
crnment should be put in the hands Of
fcw-when we have complained,
what cuphoniOus names they have
given to us. They have been calling
us disturbers Of the public peace, and
they have called US Anarchists, my
friends.
Ny friends, these terms simply cx.
press the contempt which they have
for the great mass Of people Of this
country. These names they call us
simply prove that they are not willing
to trust the dcstinics Of this Republic
In the hands OF the people who have
created its wealth in times OF peace
and who fought its battles in times Of
war.
Show me the people who now call Us
Anarchists and will show you a class
Of people who, II We had a war, would
never 60 to the front, but they are the
very people who Islander those who
fight the battles to save their own pro.
perty.

PoTTED PLANTS. - Pottcd plants
very often suffer from lack OF moist
ure at the roots, when we think we
have watcred them right along very
freely. When the ball Of the earth IN
the pot becomes dry It shrlnkS, per.
haps leaving a slight open space be-
tween pot and earth, and when water
is applied, 1t will run of in the inner
surface OF the pot and escape through
the drainage hole, while the soil In
the pot remains dry. The best way
to water pOtted plants Is by absOrp-
tiQn from the bottom up. Stand the
pot IN Il pan, tank or other rcccpta'
Gle that contains a few inches Of wa
ter, and leave 1t there till the soil In
the pot has become soaked up to the
top. This secures thor0ughncss, and
will have the best results.
