The New Year in Politics.

The year 1903 will not be a very ex-
citing year in politics. It's elections
will be few and not of general interest
except as they affect the presidential
campaign of 1904. AS touching on that
event, even though it be remotely,
they will be studied with care for the
light they may throw on the drift of
public opinion. Many interesting and
important questions will come before
the legislatures now assembling in
various states. and from political
States senators will attract the most
attention In most cases the elections
have been determined, and notable
contests will be few. The serial story
of the Delaware tangle will continue
through an indefinite number of chap
ters and there is the probability of a
sensational deadlock in Colorado. The
Utah senatorial election promises to
arouse some feeling. Oregon and
Washington may repeat the stubborn
senatorial contests of which they have
been prolific in the past. There may
be some delay also in selecting Re-
publican Senators in Kansas and
Idaho. but in Illinois and Wisconsin,
where a struggle was at one time
looked for. the elections are almost
sure to be uneventful. In general the
Republican majorities chosen to the
legislatures last fall are so large as to
preclude the possibility of any con-
test.
Only few states will have elections
during the year. The first will be in
Vermont when the question of SUBJ
shutting high license for prohibition
will be submitted to a vote, February
| 3. In Maine and New Hampshire
where a similar matter is being agi
tated. the Vermont election arouses
special interest. In the fall Ohio will
elect a governor and a legislature that
sor. Ohio elections are always of gen.
eral interest however improbable the
| chances of Democratic success. The
Iowa campaign will also be of particu-
lar interest, but as. showing the. j.. de-
velopment of the Iowa idea rather
than for any possibility of Democratic
success in that state. Maryland is also
sure of warm campaign when a
vigorous attempt will be made to keep
this once strongly Democratic state in
the Republican column.

Globe Sights.

Nobody loves you enough to burn
your foolish letters.
The man who doesn't amount to
much. usually has his sign out.
A new song is entitled: IF You
Cant Be a Bell Wether. Fall In Be-
hind"
There is a woman in Atchison who
claims not to have had new coat in is
years.
What has become of the old fash
toned lover who gave his girl copy
of Lucille at Christmas?
An Atchison woman is so old fash
toned that When she gives a party, her
guests have enough to eat.
An Atchison girl walks as straight
and careful as though carrying a
basket of eggs on her head.
A real clever woman is one who can
tell by looking at a hen how far she
will go in salad at reception.
This is the time of year you hear the
''lovely characters exclaim: Il am a
perfect child about Christmas"
1t is not very pleasant thought, but
do you know that perhaps at this mo-
ment you are seeing your best days?
The newspapers should hurry up
with that story about the boys going
to Sunday-school just before Christ
mas.
If you have a habit of going into
joint several times a day to get
drink. don't forget that people count
your visits.
Mothers are asked to remember that
boys would rather have gun or any
thing they can break their necks on
than books or poetry.
Two women were seen whispering to-
day 1t looked like & secret, and a re-
porter did the Foxy CUTLER act. Re-
suit. one woman was telling the other
where she could get half ton of hard
coal.-Atchison Globe.

A Christmas Memory.

1t is past like a beautiful dream; but
sweet was the dream to me;
For the children came. as in days of old,
and tuddlcd around my knee;
And / told them the tales | used to tell
ere my locks were thin and gray
To the other children of my love: The
children that went away!
1 forgo. the vacant places-the fall of the
wintry STOW;
In the light of their rosy faces l lived in
the Long Ago;
l lived in the Long Ago; But the Present
was perfect them
For all of the bitter snow that falls on
the lives of men.
I only knew they were near me, in a
world made new again.
And the Winter violetS of Life were
trimmed with the springtime rain;
/ felt their kisses sweet upon my withered
cheeks and cold;
And saw, over threads of silver, the
CLEAN of their curls of gold.
1t is past, like a beautiful dream: with
all the songs that were sung:
And | feel in the after Silence, that the
world is for the young:
And thanks be to God that the world is
so. with all its sunny years.
That at least, one time in our lives we
know kisses, and love, and-tears,

In these doubtful days you cant

is eliminated entirely. 1t is slaughter,
pure and simple. Much of this sort of
poaching is done by men who come
over the State line into Maine from
New Brunswick. 1t is absolutely i'm
possible for the wardens to keep
track of the parties who enter the
Maine woods in this way and if any of
them are caught during the winter
months. it is generally more or less ac-
cidental. Men from the lumber camps
also are responsible for large amount
of poaching ard in many of them the
crews subsist entirely on venison dur
ing the winter.

A few weeks from now, just as soon
as the snow in the woods gets a little
deeper, the annual mid-winter slaugh-
ter of deer by poachers will commence.
The game commissioners estimate that
a number of thousand animals were
killed in this manner last winter and it
would not be at all surprising IL the
quantity was fully as great during the
coming winter. Up in the big north
woods the deer commence to flock to-
gether early in the season, almost as
soon as the snow begins to come. The
animals are together in herds of six or
eight al present but there has been COM
paratively little chance for the poach-
lers. The snow is not much deeper in
the woods now than it is here and the
deer can travel exactly as well as
when the ground was covered with
nothing thicker than mating of dried
leaves. At present the different herds
are ranging back and forth over the
country, perhaps combining their ex-
petitions to a strip of territory where
food is plentiful 25 or 80 miles in length.
Later. when the snow comes, yards
will be formed, and the deer will re-
main in them until party of poach-
ers come along and slaughters them.
Deer yards are nothing more or less
than a network of roads or paths,
through the deep snow around which
the animals are constantly travelling.
They are generally made in some
locality where the food is more or less
plentiful. the deer feed on tender
young branchs and bushes in the VIM
ter. and they are generally anywhere
from two to four miles in circum-
ference. When the snow in the woods
is three or four feet deep the animals
fall an easy prey to- the men on snow
shoes. AS soon as a deer yard is dis
covered. and this is by no means a
difficult matter in a locality where the
animals are plentiful the paths are fol-
lowed until the animals are found.
Care is always taken to hunt up the
wind so that the presence of the hunt
ers will not be detected by the sharp
nostriled game. If the deer try to es-
care by leaving the yard and starting
out through the deep snow their doom
is sealed. A man on snowshoes can
easily overtake a deer. fioundering
through the deep show The animals
have absolutely no chance of escape
and the element of sport for the hunter

their part to make the day one of rare
enjoyment to the thousands who will at
