You pass to-day the ninetieth mile,
Along the highway known as life.
| We call to spend little while
With you, your daughter and your wife,
1t is not granted many men
On this revolving sphere OF ours,
| To reach the four score years and ten,
In rugged health and undimmed powers
We grasp your hand and in friend Hest way
In ''olden-tlmen we would embrace!
Wed like to make this very day
Your modest home hallowed place
May peace of mind and happiness
| Be yours: And may you yet behold,
For you and yours, still years of bliss,
In choicest blessings manifold

GameiWarden Lewis E. Foulks, of New

VanHiseVile, on charge of having Ill
his possession snooded rabbits Justice
Horner, of New Egypt, imposed the fine of
500 for each rabbit. Warden Foulks has
warrants for several more persons charged
with the same ofense.
1t is said that gunners in Jackson town.
ship complained to Chief Game Protector
Shriner that they feared to run their dogs
in the woods and swamps because of the
number of snoods placed there. Chief
Shriner sent DIR. Foulks into Jackson with
strict orders to break up the practice Of
sharing game. Jones, it is claimed, bought
up the shared game and sold it IN Trenton.
To deceive purchasers and others the
dead rabbits would be hung up in punches
and loed of shot fred into them, 80 that
a casual inspection would show the game
had been shot, not shared.
A month or so ago, some one asked one
of those most openly engaged 10 the
snooding of game, if he wasn't afraid of
arrest. His reply was that they didn't
worry, as the only man they feared was
Warden Foulks of New Egypt, and he
had been asleep all the fall" It's an open
question whether or not they do not now
think that Foulks has been awake all tue

"a Month in Mexico" is the subject OF
Mr.. R F. Engle's new lecture, which he
has announced to deliver in the Opera
House on Thursday evening, Jan. Goth.
We all remember Mr.. Engle's success
with Florida, delivered here few years
ago, and his unusually fine illustrations.
He has since been through the West
and Mexico and added much to his ex-
periences and stock of pictures. Mexico
is very interesting country for many
reasons and her swift and marvellous
progress in the midst of SO much that be-
longs to the Middle Ages, is the admira-
ton of all visitors. She has forgiven US
our inexcusable war of fifty years ago,
since our protecting attitude in the Maxi
MILAN affair of 1857, and cherishes a
strong feeling of friendship and welcome
for Americans. Mr.. Enge's aim has been
to deal almost exclusively with the life
and customs of the people of our sister re-
public, and we are sure it will be very in
terssting to roth old and young.
