IE SCARED THEM TO DEATH.

Maine Farmer Followed Instructions
of Game Commissioner.
George D. Bisbee, one of the lead
ng attorneys of the Pine Tree State,
ellis this story apropos of the work
ngs of the law for the protection of
he game in the forests of Maine.
The deer are protected for ten months,
and no provision has yet been made
'or recompensing the farmers whose
peas, beans, sweet corn and clover
nay be eaten by those same deer.
A farmer up in Carritunk Planta-
ion wrote to the commissioners of
inland Fisheries and Game to inquire
what he might do to abate the nuis-
ance of deer who were consuming his
crops. 1t was not lawful to kill them,
and they would jump any fence that
was practicable to build. The an
,wer from the commission was: THE
only legal thing for you to do is to
scare the deer Off"
The information didn't seem prom
sing as concerned the crops, but
some time afterward the commission
ers received a letter from the farmer
N which he conveyed the grim intelli.
yence:
ct have followed your advice about
soaring the deer out of my garden and
have scared them to death New

There are people who eat molasses
with sausage and sprinkle sugar on
baked beans, but Bob" Nevin, the
genial representative from Ohio, takes
the palm for an unheard-of mixture.
MIR. Nevins was, not long ago, the
guest of his colleague, Representative
Beidler, who has a famous cook at his
farmhouse outside of Cleveland. Es-
pecially is this cook proficient in the
making of gravy to accompany fried
chicken. Nevin, whose appetite is a
thing for which many men would give
a fortune, ate and ate of the chicken,
and especially of the gravy. When
the platter was about to be removed.
Nevins protested.
There is nothing now to come ex
cept pumpkin pie" said Beidler.
"All right" replied Nevin-
And few minutes later Nevin was
eating pumpkin pie literally spread
over with chicken gravy.
Il like pumpkin pie, and think this
gravy is fine" said Nevin- why

Representative Mudd OF Maryland
happened to be sitting in one of the
doorkeeper's chairs at the main en-
trance of the house the other day,
when a man approached him.
will you please hand this card to
Mr. Mudd of Maryland?" said the
stranger.
MIR. Mudd is not in the house just
now" replied the congressman. He
came out a few moments ago with
me-

appealed the man. Il have come all
the way from ST Mary's county this
afternoon on purpose to see him.
Mr.. Mudd took the card, entered
the house, walked a turn or two
around some desks, and came out
again.

The identity of the people back of
the deal is unknown. 1t ie said that
+. Falkner, a mining engineer who
has lived in Duluth for some years,
is the man that has given the op-
ton. Mr.. Falkner was a stock
holder in the Oneota company, the
stock of which was originally quite
largely held by the members of the
Merritt family. Through some of
the Merritts he obtained enough
stock to give him control of the
company.

pany have not been most highly
thought of MP to lately. They are
near Nesaba station. In common
with much other property on the

out of range of the ore belt. This
was particularly thought of the
fcompany's ld0~acre tract. Now,
however, it proves that the COM
pany's forty, which is the neh of
the swA of section 1884, is directly
in line with the ore belt. The 100 is
the swA Of section 1888, a. 1 Some
contend that this is too far south to
be: affected by the iron formation.
The Winchell belt tracing runs just
along but above the northeast cor
ner of the quarter section. Accord
ing to Van Hise, however, the upper
part of the quarter lies directly on

is understood, however, that he de-
clines to enlighten anybody on the
subject of the option he has given.

based on accent royalty.
