Rabbit Hunters Anxious.

Rabbit hunters are little anxious
over section 2, chapter PA of the public
laws Of 1903, which reads:
at shall be unlawful to use any
snares, traps or other device in hunt
ing, pursuing or killing common wild
hares or rabbits, or to hunt or kill the
same except in the ordinary method of
shooting with guns in the usual man
ner."
The question at ISSUE is whether it is
lawful to use dogs in tie hunting. The
law says nothing about dogs, and wheth-
er they are included in shooting with
guns in the usual manner puzzles
many honest nimrods. A prominent
lawyer of the county was in the fish
and game department the other day in
quiring about it,
Commissioner Carleton is Of the opin-
ion that the ordinary method is to
go out with dog and let him drive the
rabbits to one. He said he did not pro-
pose to arrest anybody for doing it.

just one more word before the last
Arab folds his tent and silently steals
away. While Mr.. L. c. Cornish, the
distinguished lawyer and advocate, was
enjoying himself on his European trip.
J. Frank Pierce, the grand old man of
Hammond's Grove, planted skunk
cemetery in the rear of Mr.. COrnish's
cottage. 1t was thus: Mr.. Cornish is
never here until ''the frost is on the
pumkin," the last cottager gone. and
the last camp closed. Then he comes
and enjoys himself in communion with
the pine trees, the squirrels, and the
solitude. The skunks were quite plen-'
tiful at the head of the lake this sum-
mer (Burnham not having started forth
on his midnight raids, with blood in his
eye). and Frank Pierce captured four
Of the pests in box trap, drowning
each in its turn. He buried them side
by side, under the whispering pines,
within q few feet of Mr.. Cornish's back
door. In front of each stands shingle,
bearing an inscription. Permit me to
copy; explaining before doing SO that

Some people take great pride in
planting forest trees here, Others are
ambitious to have fine gardens and
rockeres of flowers, but Mr.. Cornish
has the first grave yard started at the

of the honor would do credit to any
poet
Four little graves meath the whispering

All that thou had st most freely thou gave,
But thy gifts fell like rain on Il cold, heart

And ''Pole cat in pace" is the story that is

With Emma as mourner the cortage moved

And Dutfer, the victim, is still breathing
