usual number of ladies. Easter

This is the first year in the his
tory of Wisconsin game laws that
spring shooting of ducks is not al
lowed. In years gone by the hunters
have gone to the lakes, rivers, ponds
and marshes in the spring and
slaughtered ducks to their hearts
content, but it will be different this
year. The law passed at the last SEES
sion of the legislature prohibits the
killing OF ducks in the spring. They
are protected from the hunters gun
until fall. when they will again be
open to bombardment. The game law
prohibiting spring shooting was en-
acted for the purpose Of giving the
ducks more of chance to breed and
the intent is to increase the number
OF ducks, which will of course come
to pass under this system in few
years. The law prohibiting spring
shooting affects nearly every kind of
game.
Bishop Isaac Leo Nicholson of the
diocese of Milwaukee made his an
nual visitation to Emmanuel Parish
on Thursday last. The church was
filled to its utmost capacity at the
evening service, which consisted of
choral evensong, with the sacraments
of baptism and confirmation The |
bishop administered the rite of bap-
tlsm TO two adults, followed by the
of a class of eight per-
sons: Mrs. Mile Humphrey, Mrs
Mrs. John Wright, and
Misses Mamie Wier, Tressie Warren,
Winnie Wenzel, Sena Barber, Blanche
Burris. Both the address to the con
class and the sermon de-
livered by the cishop profoundly i'm
pressed the hearers. At a. M on
Friday, there was celebration of
Holy communion at which the bishop
was celebrant. Bishop Nicholson
left Lancaster on the morning train
for Mineral Point, at which place he
made an official visitation and con-
firmed a class. 1t is matter of re-
greet that the church at Lancaster is
so small, for on this, as well as on
other occasions, as many persons
have been turned away for want Of
room as could gain admission.
