cover with the valve open and the pis-

A Virginia member Of congress used
many years ago to tell q story which
may have been Intended as a parable
for politicians who approach questions
from the wrong side. II is stin cap
able Of performing that office, not only
for politicians. but for others.
The proprietor of a lanyard built a
stand on n Of the main streets Of a
Virginia town for the purpose Of sell
ing leather and buying raw hides.
When no had completed the building
ne considered for a long time what
sort OF sign TO put up to attract atten-
tlon to the new establishment. Final
ly a happy thought struck him. He
bored an auger hole through the door
post and stuck a calfs tail into 1t with
the tufted end outside.
After a while he cav q s~olemn-faoed
man standing near the door looking ~
the sign, his eyes in a round. medita-
tive stare behind his spectacles. The
tanner watched him a minute, then
stepped out and addressed him.
Good morning, sir" he said.
"Morning!" said the other, without
taking mis- eyes of the sign.

TO FIGHT LIQUOR MEN
WILL MAKE AN
ATTACK ON THE LEGISLATURE
VETS Ready for the Ftght-saIoon PEG
pie Have Been OrgantziDg-sena-
toriai Nominees Not Altogeth-
err Favorable TO Ants.
err Favorablet TO Antis.

Battle formations have been outlin-
ed and plan of campaign settled upon
by the Anti Saloon League in its war
upon the liquor dealers this winter
when the Legislature is assembled.
Recruits have been secured from Ohio
and other States 10 take part in the
contest and the League will not want
for money. The proposition is to Sc
cure legislation in imitation of the
Brooks law of Pennsylvania or the
Beal law of Ohio, when local prohibi-
ton is now being so successfully Sc
cured At the last session George A.
Laughlin, member of the lower
house from Ohio county, drew up,
presented and had passed in the lower
branch law similar to the Pennsyl-
vania measure, but the opposition was
too strong in the Senate and 1T receiy-
ed its death blow there. The Ants,
however, have been encouraged and
will wage an unrelenting warfare in
the campaign this fall and after the
successful members of the sembly
have been seated.
Getting word of the proposed action
of the Ants the saloonists have been
active all over the State in the organ
ization of their association. So far,
the nominees in the State Senate by
both parties would hardly be claSsed
with the anti saloon party and should
the bill again appear before that body
it seems likely to meet the same fate
as the Lauhglin bill

aud Fortune TelIers

West Virginians have been fooled so
frequently by various kinds of fakes
and schemes that it has been decided
to make an example of the 'perfesh"
at the next session of the Legislature,
especially giving attention to soothsay
ers and fortune tellers. A law similar
to the Ohio statute will be drafted APP
plying to those individuals, and it is
expected that their presence will not
be felt in the State after the lawmak-
ers get through with them. The fol-
lowing measure will be introduced,
and it is expected to carry: Whoever
shall represent himself to be clair
voyant, palmist, astrologer or fortune
teller shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and on continuation thereof shall for
each and every offense be fined not
more than 500 and not less than $40,
or imprisoned in the county Jail for a
ne~i not longer than three months

ANNUAL REPORT
OF the Game and Rish warden elves
interesting Facts About Violations
0fthe Law.

The annual report of the State game
warden has been made. II is of inter-
est to many people Of this place, The
report is as follows
Convictions for violations of the
game and fish law 10; fines imposed,
ST ,0as 20; fines collected, 1915. 20; fines
uncollected, $ies; nets destroyed. Ia.
Game confiscated Pheasants. 1876:
pounds of yemson Seis4 quails, l27;
wild turkey. /. In this report War
den Smith further says:
Illegal shippers have tried in almost
very conceivable way 10 smuggle game
out of the State. Some have shipped
in boxes and barrels packed with poul-
try and some have shipped game in
trunks and marked il Poultry, but
the vigilance of the deputies have, in
most cases. frustrated these shipments
1.-THE enforcement of the law has al
so had the effect, in large degree,
of preventing the wholesale destruc-
tion of game which has heretofore been
killed without reference to season or
regard for the law, that few illegal
dealers might derive n paltry profit
from the trade.
The rapid industrial development
of the State, with its numerous rail.
roads, mines and lumber camps would
seem TO the casual observer to be stead
lily encroaching upon the haunts of our
animals and birds in ferae naturaae,
and that in II few years the game OF
the State will be practically extermi.
mated. But this is not just conclu
sion Every sportsman knows that
deer and birds do not leave the forests
aud fields simply because railroad
passes through and that lumber camps
and mines, of themselves, do not drive
the game away. The effect of the in.
dustrial development is to subject the
game TO the onslaughts of more people,
yet under the strict enforcement of adj
equate laws for the protection and
propagation Of the games and fish OF
the State, instead of being exterminat.
ed, ought rather to increase. The nat.
ural features of the State, its wooded
hills, its clear mountain streams, and
all its diversities of field and forest,
conspire to make it a perfect home
for game and fish, and under proper
conditions there is no reason why, in
few years, every stream should not
be stocked with the finny tribe, and
every forest be a game preserve.
