rather more intricate and requires

HOW UNPOPULAR LAW GOT
ON THE STATUTE BOOKS

Poor weather for skunking," re-
marked one Of the regular patrons
OF the stove corner of the store as
he took his seat and shook the ac-
cumulation of snow from his shaggy
whiskers.

way commented the village wise

oracle, IS he bit off a fresh chew of

No one had heard of it, but the wit

that the offense was rank" and
smelled to the Canada border.
The oracle continued. ut was
Rev. Denison of Jamestown. It's a
good thing for the skunks, but it's a
joke on the reverend. You see, Mr.
Denison was formerly pastor Of the
Baptist church at Cherry creek, and
while there he joined the grange and
became an active member. A while

assumed the pastorate of the Calvary
Baptist church of that city, He re-
tanned his membership in the grange.
In fact he was member of Union
grange, which meets in Jamestown,
and which is the largest and #liveliest
grange in the whole country. He was
conspicuous member of the grange,
too, being in fact the chaplain.
whats that got to do with
skunks?" queried one of the group.

he, with apparent earnestness, "is a
very useful animal. Moreover, he is
valuable, and at the present rate of
skunk hunting he will soon be exter-
minated. Why not protect him as
well as the fowls of the air and the
fish of the deep?"
''The grangers took this talk very
seriously, and before the Rev. Deni-
son realized what had happened they
were agitatinC skunk protection laws.
It's protecting them all right. On
the farm they are thicker than due
bills in January, and even in the city
of Jamestown the policemen are
talking about special skunk drill to
enable them to chase the animals

You can just wager, though, that the

declared to be a monstrous peace

pronounced a menace to peace.
