ARE GAME WARDENS.
Everf Constable Is a Fire. Fish and Game
Warden, With Full Power 10 En-
force Laws.

Judge Ehrgood, of Lebanon county
in charge to the grand jury last week
upon its presentation of the regular
court report, has brought to the at
tention OF the authorities throughout
the state the duty of constabes as
game and fish wardens. Judge Ehr-
good being quoted, state authority
says: at is not generally known that
every constable IS a game. fish and
fire warden, with full power to enforce
any laws for the protection of game
and fish Violations Of these laws
can be reported to the constable, and
they must act.
"a few weeks ago Luzerne county
constable refused TO act when called
on, and he was tried and convicted.
Constables can arrest without a war
rant any person caught violating the
game and fish laws. Such arrest can
be made on Sunday. They can also
search suspected persons and places
to find game or fish, and do not need
to have a search warrant to take pos
session of such game and fish when
discovered. Cons,ables can not be
held liable for such action" This in
formation is contained in an official
circular just issued.
"Constables receive, besides the
regular fees, $Io for every arrest and
conviction of fish, fire or game Of
tenders. Half is paid by the county,
and the other half by the state. The
law says they shall make quarterly re-
turns to court OF all such otfenseS, and
1t is the duty of the judges to see that
they make these reports. These re-
ports shall be of cases of which they
have personal knowledge, or of which
they shall have notice by writing,
giving names of offenders and wit
nesses. This law passed May az,
I899."
During the summer season fisher
men complain that the law is con-
stantiy being violated and now that
the game season is open, complaints
in regard to its evasion will soon
follow.

Don't forget the old man
with the fish on his back.
For nearly thirty years he
has been travelling around the
world, and is still travelling,
bringing health and comfort
wherever he goes.
To the consumptive he
brings the strength and flesh
he so much needs.
To all weak and sickly
children he gives rich and
strengthening food.
To thin and pale persons
he gives new firm flesh and
rich red blood.
Children who first saw the
old man with the fish are now
grown up and have children
of their own.
He stands for SCOTS Emul-

A Real Run On the Bank.

Foreign coal miners saw posters
announcing the play, ga Run on the
Bank" at Barnsboro, Pa, on We'd
nesday, and suspected the First Ma
tional bank was the bank meant.
They started run in earnest, which
the bank was able to meet with the
assistance of Barnes & Tucker, the
local coal operators. Many of the
foreigners took their money to the
firm, to have it taken care of. The
cash was replaced in the bank and
paid out several times.

According to the official figures our
merchant marine has now reached the
highest point in the history of the
country, and this remarkable growth
was regardless of the fact that there
was no ship subsidy act passed. The
total tonnage amounts to 6,o87,345
tons, which places us second to Great
Britain IN the merchant marines. AS
her tonnage exceeds 100000 it
will be some time before we can hope
to occupy first place. The growth OF
our marine began in 1900, when the
FIVE million mark was passed for the
first time in many years. Since then
