GAME SEASON OPENS.
violators of Game Law Will be Dealt
With Severely.


From Saturdays Daily.
The evidence of plentiful game this
season is sore temptation to many
nimrods to bag a few quail or prairie
chickens. But there is danger in do
ems today The new game law is very
strict, and the huntsman caught vio-
lating it will be dealt with severely.
Under the present conditions it would
be wise for those with hunting tenden-
cies in their disposition to paste the
following extract from the game law
in their hats for reference:
mo person shall trap, shoot or kill
any pinnated grouse or prairie chicken
between the LIST day of December
and the LIST day of September next
! following; any woodcock, between the
LIST day of January and the 10th day of
July; any ruffled grouse or pheasant,
wild turkey or quail, between the LIST
day of January and the list day of No
vember; any wild duck, goose or brant
| between the 18th day of April and the
LIST of September; or any gray or fox
squirrel or timber squirrel between the
| LIST day of January and the list day of
June, provided that it shall be unlaw-
full to kill any ruffled grouse or wild
turkey prior to Jan. l, 1900. Shooting
or killing quail on the public highway
shall be in violation of law No per-
son shall kill any of the birds men
toned in this section from any artifi-
cial ambush of any kind or with the
aid or use of any sneak boat or sink
| box or other device used for conceal
ment in the open water nor use any
artificial light, battery or any other
deception, continuance or device what.
ever with the intention to attract or
deceive any of the birds mentioned in
this chapter except that decoys may
be used in hunting wild geese and
ducks, but no person shall at any time
hunt or shoot from any boat, canoe
continuance or device whatever on any

ABOUT HYDRoPHoBlA.
Recent Issue of Health Bulletin Makes
Suggestions.

suggestions.
In recent issue of the bulletin of
the state board of health a great deal
is said concerning hydrophobia and as
a remedy it is suggested that the muz-
zle be used or that dogs be decapitat
ed. The means of prevention is a lit
tie severe on the dog and probably
would not meet with the approval of d
majority of the animals owners. Con-
corning the subject the bulletin says:
every little while the secretary of
the state board of health is notified
that rabies or hydrophobia has APP
peared in some locality, traceable to
some stray dog that had been on the
premises and had been acting strange
ly. There are intelligent persons who
claim to believe there is no such dis
ease as hydrophobia; and this in the
face Of reports that would establish
the presence of any other disease.
The disease is, however, not so
some other countries. 1t is said that
were eleven hundred deaths from ra-
bies in the human subjects in En-
gland; and that insFranee there are
two hundred cases kofA. hydrophobiai
among dogs each month-Paris having
on an average two cases day.
England is making strenuous ef-
.orts to stamp out the disease and a
large measure of success is the re-
ward. During the past year there
We're only seven cases. The board of
agriculture has adopted most strin-
gent methods of prevention. Foreign
dogs, even pet dogs, cannot be taken
to England this year. Dogs for breed
ing purposes are put into siX-months
quarantine.
ut would pay our people largely to
be more cautious in regard to dogs.
Beware Of dogs" is a commendabie
exhortation from a sanitary no less
than a financial standpoint. All stray
dogs or home dogs that become rest
less and irritable should be at once
quarantined, if not destroyed. They
are of no use, and are menace to
the people and to the stock of the
country A single dog, having hydro
phobia, il an hours time, going thru
a pasture lot or yard, may commune
cate the disease to score or more OF
animals. il not to some of the members
of the household. The disease is east
ly communicated, has striking charac-
teristics, is most distressing in it's
manifestations; is incurabe and speed
lily proves fatal.
Being only communicated by the
saliva OF rabid animal gaining access
to the circulation of the blood thru a
bite or abrasion of the skin, and the
cause thus being so easily recognized
it might not be hard matter to stamp
out the disease. Just as in infectious
disease the fewer foci exist for the
propagation Of the disease the less
danger there is of it's spread, SO the
| fewer dogs there are the less danger
there is of rabies. Decapitation or the
muzzle are the wisest and only sensi-
| BILE preventive measures that can be
suggested.
In India and some other oriental
lands dogs may be useful as scaven-
gers, but they can be very safely
| spared here"

Having no confidence in banks. Mr..
Chucydidcs ChucSster one sight hid his
entire wad, amounting to $2I5, in the
oven of the kitchen stove.
And said nothing about it to his Wife
Remember this fact. 1t is important
The next morning, as fate would have
it, Mrs. Chuckster came downstairs early
anu made the kitchen fire.
Mrs. Chuckster had been in the habit
OF doing this for years. but this also
was in pursuance, doubtless, of the de-
creeS OF fate.
But before kindling the fire in the
stove she looked into the oven to see It
the cat was there. She found the wad
of money.
Mr.. Chucydides Chuckster was allow
ed to sleep till II O'Clock that morning.
And by that time Mrs. Chuckster had
made a hurried trip to the various stores
in the neighborhood and purchased the
following articles. paying cash for the
same:
One kitchen broom, rocking chair. :
pounds genuine coffee, copper teakettle,
"A yards crash towel!lg. ! stove hook,

table, half-doZen pairs ribbed hose for
Katie, roll cotton batting, pound candied
pineapple, dozen oranges, canary bird,
cage, package Waterous eStermlnatof.
Shortly after IL o'clock Mr.. Chuckster
came tearing down the stairs, four steps
at a time.
He rushed into the kitchen. his hair
on end and his eyes bullying out like
dcorknobs.
"Meyciful heavenW he groaned, as he
looked at the red-hol stove, and sank
