The General Game Law.

a general game law applicable to
every county in the state. This
law provides Game Warden sys-

seldom enforced; this is the expert
ence of other states. No warden
system or game law, however, can
be success unless supported by
public sentiment.
That the general game law was
wisely framed and the interests of
farmers and landowners stringent
ly protected is generally conceded

gressman, ex-president of the Bar
Association, prominent lawyer of
Nashville, and withal an ardent
sportsman, was appointed State

Horse and Bull Story. i.

Jackson, Tenn, July 18.-A story
of horse that is real hero comes
from this county. Bob Hunt, we'll
known stockman, owns beautiful
gray stallion and a fine Jersey bull.
The latter is vicious animal and
on more than one occasion has
shown pugnacious disposition.
Usually pitchfork serves to
trighten him off from about the
barn or pasture. Thursday of this
week Mr.. Hunt, in company with a
small boy, was crossing the pasture
leading the stallion. Suddenly the
bull appeared upon the scene and
showed evidences of wanting a
fight. Mr.. Hunt gave the halter
rein to the boy and thought he
would chase the irate animal away.
The bull started to fee, but changed
his mind after running short dis
stance, and, discovering his pursuer
did not have the dreaded pltchfork,
he lowered his head and charged
upon his master. Mr.. Hunt at
tempted to run and fell. The bull
butted him as he passed and it
looked tor moment as if Mr.. Hunt
would be gored to death. The boy
dropped the rein of the stallion and
started off for help. 1t was then
that the noble stallion proved him.
self faithful to his master and a
real hero. Rearing up on his hind
feet with a snort of defiance, he
bore down on the bull, which in
the meantime had returned a second
time upon Mr.. Hunt and was about
to trample him to death. The horse
bit large piece of "beef and hair
out of the bulls back at the oppor
tune moment and wheeling, planted
both rear heels in the ribs of his
opponent, almost sending him to
the earth and causing him to roar
with pain. The bull left his pros.
trate victim and fled in terror, with
the horse pursuing him and taking
chunks of hide and flesh every few
steps until he had been chased to
the bottom. The horse then re-
turned to his master.

A Historic Goose.

Mrs. Emily Wright, who lives
Hickman county, owned a goose
that hatched in 1868 and died JulY,
6, 1908, having lived forty years.
In 1897 she was on exhibition at
the centennial at Nashville.
During her life no doubt she had
passed through many perils, having
lived through the war, and raising
many broods of her own and caring
for many little orphans that were
given her to raise.
Many times had her coat been
torn from her body to protect the
household from winters chilling
blast.
She had furnished many soft
pillow for the careworn son of toll
to rest his weary head.
She had feathered the crib in
which many little treasure lay
sucking his thumbs and kicking at
the stars.
She had spent her entire life in
service to humanity, and now she
has gone to her reward where other
good geese, ducks and chickens
have gone.
Mr.. Ladd, of near Hickman, Ky,
was in the community and saw them
burying her. They buried her in
box that Mrs. Wrights daughter
sent her from Texas fifteen years
ago with clothing in it, with the
request that if she died before the
goose died for her to bury the goose
in this box. She is still living,
however, but the goose was buried
in this box with appropriate cere-
monies.

vast eXpanse enclosed within the
stately colonade looked ma aiestic in
its serenity. Although groups of
people hurried here and there, their
presence was completely lost in the
immensity of the whole.
Looking up at the window before
which Leo XIII used to sit, the
blinds could be seen half closed,
admitting a narrow slant of sun to

N )where about the esplanade
was there the slightest outward
sign of mourning, neither on the
church front nor on the columns or
doors OF the Vatican, wherein lay
tie dead Pontiff. The main en-
trance of the Vatican showed the
chief evidence OF activity. AS the
equipages drove up with distin-
guished prelates the heavy iron
chains continued to loop back the
crowd, leaving a narrow aisle for
the arriving dignitaries.
CURIOUS sIGHTsEERS.
Back of the chains was massed a
crowd of curious sight-seers. The
official presence of the Italian sol
diery was kept noticably in the
background. At the foot of the
stone steps stood an officer OF Ital-
ian Grenadiers, in fatigue uniform
and cap, with small detachment
of troops, so broken into squads
that they did not have the appear
ance of being IN martial array
With them were the Vatican munich
pal police, in sombre uniforms, with
broad chapeaus, some topped with
little blue pompon.
The ponderous bronze doors of
the Vatican were closed, present
ing a front which might have with
stood an army. The only means of
ingress was small opening which
had been cut through the solid
bronze bas-reliefs.
