"0Aou Shat Hot Steal. =

Iron county is one of the great
est counties in the state for
game, and there is perhaps as
much hunting done here as in any
other locality, yet we are now
and have been for several months,
without a game warden. It is
commonly reported that there
have been the most fragrant
violations of the game law, but as
there has been no one especially
authorized to prosecute, no at
tention has been given the num-
erous common reports and COM
plants. Notwithstanding the
state is full of special game
wardens appointed by Governor
La Toilette, none of them have
yet appeared upon the scene to
look after the violation of the law,
while of county wardens we have
none. Hurley Miner, Oct. Is.

THE EYE OF AN ARTIST.
Case Where 1t Was More Reliable
Than Sailors Optic.

Than q Sailors Optic.
Mr.. N. Chevalier. trs- well known
artist who accompanied the late Duke
Of Edinburgh on many of his travels,
was once going from Dunedin to
Lyttelton, New Zealand, by steamer.
Anxious to catch the earliest glimpse
of the coast he went on deck at dawn
and was alarmed to see that the vessel
was heading straight on to the land.
Calling the officers attention to the
fact, he was told that it was only a
fog bank The artist maintained his
point, but the second officer looked
and confirmed his mate.
The artist then said: "Well. gentle
men, l will back my artists eye
against your sailors eye. and l say
that what you mistake for a fog bank
is low range of hills, and there is a
range of mountains appearing above
them"
But he was only laughed at, until
the captain coming on deck found in
the growing light that the artist was
right and the seamen wrong. The YES
sci was out of it's course. and there
was only just time to avert disaster.
The helmsman was dismissed in dis
grace and the course given to the new
steersman, but the vessels head still
pointed landward-the compass was all
wrong.
The cause was discovered later A
commercial traveller had brought box
Of magnets on board and deposited
them in a stern cabin, causing what
might have been a fatal detection of
the compass.
To return to the question Of inter
probation. the artist was dealing with
the appearances which his eye was
trained to see and his mind to inter-
pref. A speck on the horizon might
have remained mere speck to him
long after the sailors had interpreted
the speck into a vessel of definite rig
There can be little doubt that the
trained eye is accompanied by a sort
OF mental seeing, an instinct outrun-
ming optics.
