Friedland boasts the most singu,a,
mutual protective society In the civil
lied world In Assem- recently a union
was organized by seventeen game
poachers. a comprehensive set OF rules
being adopted. None but a recognized
game thief is eligible to mem bership
The convention decided that In the ~
ture the members OF the union shall
sell only to regular game dealers. and
then only at current market prices.
The dealers will be required to con-
tribute certain amount OF money
each year to the unions treasury. The
principal object OF the union is to sup
port the families OF such poachers as
may be arrested and sent to prison. A
east-iron resolution forbids all mem
bers from killing game In the closed
seasons. the argument being that the
game laws must be enforced. The
Netherlands code provides a fine OF 100
sorins and a term OF Imprisonment for
Killing game out OF season.

President II. G.. Burt of the Union

week, and took trip incog among his
employees. He entered a baggage car
at Clinton. Iowa. with the conductor. OF
a flyer, and being introduced as a

OF hummer. He sat on a Saratoga,
and handed around cigars to the
smashers, who, after ten miles of his
company. voted him the most agree
able fellow who had ever ridden with
them. 1t is probable that no railroad
magnate had ever succeeded in getting
into such close touch with his hands.
He steered the conversation around to
their work, drew from them their ideas
on improvements in the line, and gave
his own pet theories on unionism,
strikes, etc.. In return. He had ridden
almost to Omaha before a chance Off

whom they had been confiding their

conversation had bordered on the dan

all at their ease in a twinkling. His
true character known, he rode to the
end OF the line, with his feet on
trunk, talking railroad. and enjoying
himself hugely. And when they reach
ed their destination, he performed that
pleasant duty. which. according to the
governor OF North Carolina, no gentle
man would avoid.
