protecting or propa eating game. The
first appointments were made in 1871,
and this commission very promptly
this report WAS confined altogether to
the fishing interests in the Delaware
river. BY subsequent legislation the
powers and duties of the commission
ers were broadened and better defined,
but the office had drifted into politics,
and no report of its doings was pub
lished until after a material change
had been effected. This change took
place In the summer of 1894, when
George L. Werts was governor A law
passed that year providing for the ap-
pointment of four commissioners and
the governor selected George Pfeiffer,
wealthy contractor of Camden; How
ard P. rockingham, a Wall street
broker; Parker w. Page, well known
patent lawyer of New York, and w.
Campbell Clark, wealthy thread man
ufacturer of Newark The only one of
these four who had had any experience
in politics was Mr. Pfeiffer, but all four
were ardent sportsmen, and all were
determined that the laws for the pro-
lection of fish and game should mean
exactly what they said. Their first act
was revolutionary. The legislature had
provided for the appointment of TWEEN
ty-tive wardens at an annual salary of
for expenses. From these a fish and
game protector was to be selected, who
was to have charge of the wartiens.
Instead of appointing men who had
been recommended by politicians for
services rendered during campaigns the
commissioners cast off the yoke OF. the
politicians and appointed men whom
they believed to be fit for the office. No
inquiry was made as TO the politics of
the appointee All the commissioners
wanted was the enforcement of the
laws. When warden proved incom-
petent, he was removed, and all the POI
litical influence in the state could not
save him.
What might have been expected hap
pened. There were loud complaints all
over the state. for the enforcement of
the fish and game laws was something
new. But the commissioners had been
appointed for five years, and they
could not be removed from Office. They
kept up with their campaign of educa-
ton, and they were materially strength
ened in their resolve by the election
of John w. Griggs as governor. Mr..
Griggs is an ardent sportsman, and he
supported the commission in all its
undertakings. Before the expiration
of his term of office the good work of
the commission had brought fruit, for
the people had learned to recognize
the wisdom of protecting fish and
game, and today the fish and game
commission is recognized as one of the
most influential and powerful adjuncts
of the state government. The commits
sioners serve without pay. The state
allows them $500 year for expenses,
but the commissioners have annually
turned this amount into their treasury
and have paid their own expenses.

the slow shutting tread of age, and sub
ordinate duties and pleasures to the
capricious whims of second childhood.
The difference in these two old men is
simply difference of health. The one
old man is hale and hearty, enjoys his
food, sleeps soundly, and keeps his grip
on public affairs. The other old man is
weak and feeble, his appetite and diges-
ton are poor, his sleep is unsound, he
has no interest in life or affairs save as
his personal comfort may be affected.
Healthy old age, whether in man or
woman, Is largely a question OF sound
stomach and pure, rich blood. To pre-
serve this condition nature generally
needs some assistance, in order to get
rid of the accumulations of waste, effete
and poisonous substances which tend
to clog the body and impede the circu-
latioi1. It is also needful to keep the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
tracts in healthy condition, in order to
properly nourish the body.
HEALTH III OLD AGE
can. therefore, best be enjoyed by the
use of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. This medicine cures diseases of
the stomach and other organs of diges-
ton and nutrition. It enables the per-
feet digestion and assimilation of the
food upon which physical strength de-
ponds. It cleanses the blood of clog
cling and poisonous matter, and by in
creasing the activity of the blood-making
glands, increases the supply of pure,
rich blood, which is the final form of
nutrition and the life of the whole phys
ical man.

Lynch law In its usual meaning is
said to be traceable to Galway wor-
thy. In 1493 one James FitzStephen
Lynch, mayor of that city, sentenced
his own son to death for murder and,
fearing rescue, had the culprit
brought home and hanged before his
own door. The tradition may be found
alluded to in Thackeray's Irish Sketch
Book" There are critics, however,
who say that the law was in its origin
essentially American, and they date it
back to Charles Lynch, Virginian
planter Of the seventeenth century.

No man can be strong when the stona-

organ of it, depends upon the stomach
for nutrition. This nutrition is supplied
by food which must be properly digested
before it can be assimilated. When the
stomach and the other organs of diges-

eaten is imperfectly digested, and there
is a reduction of the nutrition necessary

The Beers Made Mistakes at First by Meeting
the British in Pitched Battles.
The present difficulty of the Beers
is due to the fact that they have so
soanty a population from which to
draw recruits, and shat they have
no longer any means of obtaining
ammunition or other supplies except
by capture from the enemy. In
short, they sacrificed too much by
their resistance in the opening period
of the war. Since Lord Roberts was
destined in any case to march TO
Johannesburg and Pretoria, the
Beers made a mistake in resisting
material. They, like the rest of the
fighting world, had not sufficiently
appreciated the methods employed
by Gomez in Cuba, who has had no
equal in our times as q successful
soldier. For three years, with a
comparatively small and uncertain
force of patriots without military
training and with scanty equip
ments, he held two hundred thousand
Spanish soldiers in d condition of
futile activity, and d~eadlooked the
situation completely, meanwhile pur
suing guerrilla tactics and fighting
40 battles. The result was the ex
haustion of the Spanish treasury and
a situation which compelled inter
vention and secured the emancipa.
ton of Cuba. 1t may be that the
world will witness more than one
great war in this new century /; but
militarism in the old sense is dis
tinctly on the wane. We shall soon
see an end in Europe of long periods
of universal military service. AL.
ready the European governments
are shortening the term. The thing
to be desired ls not the kind OF train
ing that comes with long years of
the oldfashioned sort of military
drill, but the development of intel
ligence and efficiency in the indi
vidual man, so that in case of a
fare he may know how to fight for
himself.-From "The Progress of
