GAME LAWS IN FRANCE.
Rights Of the Farmer Are Considered
and His Interests Protected

Nights Of the Farmer Are Considered
and His Interests Protected.
In France the protection of crops and
farm stock is among the chief objects OF
the game laws, SO much so, indeed, that a
French landowner is not only prohibited
from encouraging on his estate such
noXiOus animals as the fox. badger. otter
boar, roebuck and rabbit, but is even
compelled to organize for the suppression
of such scheduled ''vermin'' by periodic
drives; and neglect Of either obligation is
likely to land him in costly claims for
agricultural damage
All manner of interesting legal bubbles
are common whenever the question crops
up of practical application Of the laws
Thus, whereas in French law the prohibit
ton of might shooting covers only the
period of darkness a similar restriction
applied to fishing applies tG the entire
period between sunset and SUNRISE Il very
different matter in the summer months
Again, very proper consideration Of
the extent to which intense cold may de
prive birds of their wild instincts and
their powers of flight has prompted pro-
hibition in France of shooting in the
snow; but here again. before prosecu-
ton can be established it must be shown
that the snow was thick enough at the
time Of the Offense to enable anyone to
follow the footprints of the beast or bird

Judging by the results Of the polls be-
ing taken in the big Office buildings in
Chicago, an immense vote will be piled
up for Mckinley and Roosevelt in the
Republican wards of the city. That
this will be true has become evident by
the result Of the poll in Marshall Field

building where the vote is five to one,
and in the Monadnock building where
it is six to one in favor Of the admins

THE YELLOW GARDEN.

In q ring OF emerald hills.
Where the sapphire OF the skies
Overfiows in lakes and rills,
There the yellow garden lies.
Every inch of fertile earth.
Every patch Of teeming sod,
In the sun has given birth
To a spray Of golden-rod.
There a square Of cavalry
Fell in battle. sword and plume;
And their gorgeous ghosts you see
When the acre bursts in bloom.

As it did in days Of old,
And has changed a common dell
To a field of cloth-of-gold.

No surer proof of the present pros
