result of injuries accidentally received
about two weeks ago. While playing with
schooimate upon the roof of shed in
the yard adjoining the public. school at
Germantown, the little boy slipped from
the roof and fell to the ground, distance
of ten or twelve feet, One rib was broken
and he was injured Internally.
The sportSmen of thiS vicinity are already
making arrangements to procure large
number OF western cartridges for the pur-
pose or replacing, to some extent, the birds
destroyed by the recent severe weather.
1t is now certain that nearly all of the
cartridges in this county at the beginning
OF the storm have persisted, and the sports
men are convinced that the only way to
repienlsh the stock sufficiently to insure
good sport in the near future is by the
importation of western birds. Several years
ago, during a scarcity of birds in this sec
ton, the experiment of importing birds
from the west was tried with good results.
IL is believed that a large fund will be
subscribed for this worthy purpose, and it
IS SAID those in Washington interested in
the project will contribute literally. Mr..
James +. b. Veirs,- the well-known bird
shot of Rockville, is the leader in the move

would reject the proposition without ado.
You see, We might get into some trouble
over in Europe, and the Americans would
very righ,iuly inquire, What have We to
do with that?'
My first proposition was for a CONNER

included. because they are not essentially
manufacturing countries, such as are the
United States, Germany and Great Britain.
England is essentially a trading nation, as
is the United States. Trade in China is
barely scratched on the surface. and We
want commercial alliance for the opening
up of that trade

comes to point where the military dofni-
mates, as it does in France the country is
in a very bad way. The military should
and always must be subservient 10 the civil
