The Fatal Blow |

THE name of Castlereagh is one
Of the proudest in the annals o.
English history. yet there Is tragic
chapter, and closing chapter, too,
wherein we have depicted the fact
that the passions. and the results TO
which they lead. are confined To no
single class of social life. but are
common to high and low alike.
In his old age the proud Lord Cas-
tlere;gh espoused beautiful lady.
young enough TO be his daughter,
and whose extreme loseliness of per
son was the theme of her day.
Though proud Of this extraordinary
attractiveness. and himself fully ae-
knowledging its power over the eye
and the heart, vet IL was destined
TO be source of endless disquiet ard
misery TO the proud old noble. He
could not but realize within himself
the great incongruity OF their union,
and this soon inspired him with
doubts and suspicious. The fact
that these were of the most unjust
character mattered not TO him. The
fine mad devil Of jealousy reigned
in his breast. and 10 reason could
exercise the fend.
He felt ashamed of this. for he re-
allied that no passion is more base
or seeks more to hide itself. ii is 50
ignom:nious that we blush To ac-
knowledge il even 10 ourselves
passion which must ue either stran-
cIed in its birth. or II VIII soen as
sune such strength and proportions
as TO be even too powerful for truth
itself. Lord Castlereach thought i
impossible that he could FIX the at
tention and affection of his wife. ard
equally impossible that she could re-
main insensible To the attentions of
younger men. SO he set himself the
uuwelcome task of watching her.
Lady Castlereagh was person Of
lofty character, great pride of birth.
and. above all. incapable Of premedi-
tated wrong or falsehood. But she
found her position 10 be very Try

Of her hus bands character. Such

but. beyond the point Of true re

CHAT WITH A BURGLAR.
Funny Householder Engages Mid
night Intruder in Pleasing and
Helpful ConNcrsation.

Just as the burglar was tip-toeinC
toward the dresser in the room Of the
suburban home. the hunorist in the
bed awoke and sat up, relates the Wash
ington Post.
WHY. hello there, Bill" said the hu-
morist in the bed. cheerily. to the bur-
glar. who quickly flashed his glim on
the face of the funny individual.
How are you. pard." replied the
burglar. easily. Didn't know you was
awake"
How'd YOU get in, old MANI" easily
inquired the man in bed.

glar, calmly. Itwas something easy."
I'm afraid you won't find much do
ing around here Tonight, chum. said
the funny householder, who had read
of these easy little nocturnal dialogues
with burglars. and was rather enjoy
ing the experience. I'm pretty nigh
all out on the dough question just now

visit till tomorrow night-to-mor-
rows pay DAY with me, and III have

"Oh, ttat's all right. mate" answered
the burglar, NO harm done. 1t is too

in bed. hugely enjoying his own ease Of
manner in the circumstances. Sorry
l couldn't have come to the front with
a little of the duff TO help you along,
but you see how I'm fxed- S'long-Ue

The burglar nodded and passed ort
of the room. down the stairs and cut
of the house. The humorist in bed
chuckled sCltly, and when he got up
the next morning he told every boGy
in the suburban town who would listen
10 him of the easy-going little talk he
had had Y ,th the burglar ON the night
before.
That nj INT the burglar came back 10
the humorist's house with q pal. put
the funny man under the gun, and
eased him IF s2l4.7G and his gold watch
and chain, without any superfuous
conversation whatsoever.

THE SHOOTING SEASON
Prairie Chickens and Squirrels After
September /.

September, October, November and
December are the four months in
which grey fox squirrels can DO law.
fully killed in Iowa. The first day
Of September also marks the begin
ming OF the open season ON ducks,
geese ana prairie chickens. The
shooting season ON the above game
opens on the same day but does not
close at the same time. II is against
the law to shoot chickens after the
first day Of December and squirrels
after the flrst day OF January, al
though the duck shooter does not
have to dodge the game warden until
the fifteenth of next April.
There is also now on the statutes Of
Iowa an act which states that any
nonresident Of the state must take
out license before he can hunt or
pursue game in Iowa. This costs
him $1,000. In Illinois the non-resi-
dent law makes the license cost even
more.
The section of the Iowa game law
which covers practically all the game
in this part Of the state. Is as fol
lows:
No person shall trap, shoot or kin
any pinate1 grouse or prairie chicken
between the first day Of December
and the first day of September next
following; any woodcock, between
the first day Of January and the tenth
day of July; any ruffed grouse or
pheasant wild turkey or quail, be-
tween the first day of January and
the first day Of November: any wild
duck, goose or brant, rail, plover, sand.
piper and marsh or beach bird, be-
tween the fifteenth day OF April and
the first day of September, or any
gray or fox squirrel or timber SPUR.
rel, between the first day Of January
and the first day Of September.
Shooting or killing quail on the pub.
lie highway shall be in violation 81
the law. No person shall kill any OF
the birds mentioned in this section
from any artificial ambush Of any
kind or with the aid Of any sneak
boat or sink box or any other device
used for concealment in the open
water nor use any artificial light bat
terry or any other deception, contriv-
ance or device whatever With the IN
tent to attract or deceive any Of the
birds mentioned in this chapter, ex.
cept that decoys may be used in
hunting wild geese and duck, but
no person shall at any time hunt or
shoot from any boat, canoe, contriv.
ance or device, whatever on any Of
the waters Of this state between sun,
set and sunrise.
