tions.

MAY PICK BERRIES.

The bill making it misdemeanor for
any person in Vance county to hunt or
pick fruit or berries on the lands of
another, provoked considerable discus
sion.
Judge Graham opposing it, said it
was wrong to enact any such legislation.
The law against trespass was already
very stringent amply sufficient to pro-
tect all property rights, and to say that
no one should have the right or privilege
to pick even honey suckle, a black
berry, a buckle berry, or even a flower.

of a ditch, unless the land was owned by
him, was unjust, wrong, and even if it
was a local measure, was calculated to
cncroach upon the actual liberties of the
people

of the bill said the farmers of his county

treated as such, some simple salve, wash

but while the place may temporarily scab

awhile the deadly poison begins to eat

brought face to face with the most dread

An Empress' odd Mistake.

King Edward and Queen Alexandra during their recent visit to Ireland were shown at Maynooth College a silver stat uette of St. George and the dragon and rich church vestments presented to the college by the late Empress of Austria There Is a curious story regarding the presentation in question. Caught in a heavy rain one day while hunting in Kildare, the Empress sought refuge at Maynooth, and grateful for her kindly reception there, the President having wrapped her in his own zimarra, while her drenched garments were drying, be- gan to think how to requite the hospi- tality she had received. Her gratitude took the form of a silver statuette, which duly reached the college authorities. Great, however, was their consternation when 1t turned out to be statue of the patron saint of England. What was St George to Manooth, or Maynooth to St. George? The poor saint was promptly bundled into a cupboard, whence he was extracted the other day for the inspec- tion of England's King, The Empress. appraised of the mistake she had made considered how to make amends and the vestments, embroidered with golden shamrocks, were afterward sent from Vienna as a peace offering.
