ly find the humble laborer going to his
days toll in the plaiuest OF homespun.
The heggar, without work and without
home, would fttingly don sackcloth
and ashes. Iron gray would be the
color Of the miners dress. Checks
would suit the business man, the size
Of the check being proportional TO the

be forced to wear spring suits at all

Reject however how terrible would

Robbers and cut-throats would lie in

gold. Editors would recognize
poet the moment he entered the sane

Madison, Nov.

Reports from the deputy game ward
ems now on duty in the woods of the
northern counties where deer are be-
ing hunted are to the effect that the
violations of the law requiring licenses
are very few. The wardens are busy
checking up hunting parties as they
arrive, to see that all are provided
with the required certificate.
Never before has this work of keep
ing track OF hunters and ascertaining
of each whether he has a license, been
conducted so thoroughly as during the
present season and it is shown by the
reports thus far received in the office
of State Warden Overlook that the
hunters have very uniformly complied
with the law.
1t is particularly gratifying to the
wardens that the residents of the deer
counties are active and willing in as
sisting the deputies to see that the
laws of the state are properly OBJ
served. In former years the residents
frequently looked upon the wardens as
their natural enemies and sought by
every available means to hinder them
and make the performance of theu
duty seem as odiOus as possible,
This season quite the contrary seems
to be the situation. The residents
look with disfavor upon those who
would eyade the payment of the license
fee that is collected by the state and
expended in the protection of the fish
SnRh nnn-rAEiElantG =
seem disposed to eyade the law by
avoiding the license fee are frequently
pointed out to the wardens and in al
most every case the would-be offender
makes application through the deputy
warden to pay in his $25 and secure the
permission to kill two deer and as
much small game as he likes.
A number of hotel keepers and pro-
pretors of liyeries in the
hunting districts have said to
deputy wardens that it was to
their interest to assist in protecting
the deer and other game of their coun-
ties because the influx of hunters was
a substantial sourse Of their income.
They seem to recognize that if the
ueei ana Otnef game were TO ne Lnln-
ned out, as would surely be the case
within a very few years were not the
fish and game laws carefully looked
after, the hunters would cease to
come, the hotels would remain empty
and livery stables be unpatrOniZed.
These proprietors recognize the preser-
walton of the fish and game as the
means of prolonging their own success
in business. Residents and nOn-rosi-
dents who have complied with the law
and secured licenses are jealous that
they are being injured when hunter
fails to comply as they did, They
think it perfectly honorable to call the
attention of the wardens to such
cases.
The deputies report that the woods
are very wet this season and that this
has interferred somewhat with the
sport of the open season for deer.
Some seizures of hides and improperly
tagged carcasses have been made. but
on the whole the deputies are having
little difficulty and there seems less
call for arrests than heretofore.

PHILOSOPHY OF CLOTHES.
Latter Have Their Ethics, but They
are Sometimes Tangled.

1t was an ancient philosopher who
gave utterance to the phrase The
tailor makes the man." and it was
long before the true inwardness of this
remark percolated the brain matter
of that philosophers fellow beings.
In due course of time however, one
of them, by name Thomas Carlyle,
was impressed by the immensely of
the thought, and forthwith sat him
down and indited a yoluminous essay
on clothes and tailors, giving the es-
say to an eager pubic, to the end that
the eager public should only be
further mystifed and perpleXed, "Sar-
tor Resartus," as the essay was styled,
contained much that was brilliant
albeit somewhat mystical. But "Sar-
tor Resartus" left a good deal unsaid
and some day another philosopher will
be born to expound still further on the
weighty subject of clothing
That clothes have their ethics can
not be denied, but truth compeIs one
to acknowledge that these ethics are
terribly tangled. For instance, we see
a sedate looking gentleman, whose
habiliment is not of the latest cut nor
of the newest material. and at once
we are constrained to say: There is
a man whom Dame Fortune has not
treated kindly"
This is the natural inference, and
proceeding from it we are often led
into the grievious error of saying or
doing something that may offend the
man. Now, experience should teach
us, if other evidence than that Of the
mans clothes is not forthcoming, that
the one We may sheer at may be a
multimillionaire. There have been rich |
men in this world, and there are rich |
men in it yet, who delight, so to speak. |
their light under a bushel, SO to speak. |
Unless a legislature passes a law com. |
polling men to dress in accordance |
with their circumstances, We will be |
lett as much in the dark a. ever .
our only criterion is the cut OF tbai-
garb 'Aeli
