Conductor Dave Houston of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, who is taxi

thrilling experience with a big bear
which he will not soon forget. He only
told few of the incidents, as he desired
to keep it quiet, but the story leaked
out. Conductor Houston is a great fish

to cast the line. He had hardly got

on the Necanicum River to have a, fish

through the brush until he came to a
log, one end of which projected out
into the creek. That's the very place"
thought the conductor, and adjusting
his line and pole, he ,crept out on the
log, where he found himself comfortably
perched above the cool water of Necani-
cum Creek. Houston lighted his tried
and trusty pipe and then cast bis line.
He fished and smoked perhaps an hour
without getting a bite.
Suddenly there was movement IN

the conductor there seemed no escape.
The bear sat complaisantly on the shore

for Conductor Houston to get past the

New York. Oct. THE stock market
moved in a rather bewildered way to-
day, but the dealings represented little
more than cropping of professional
traders to discern the sentiment of the
real holders of stocks. The reduction In
the Steel dividend brought in some
heavy selling orders, but they were all
accepted at first by one house, which
was credited with acting for banking
interests connected with the corpora
tfon. Support was accorded the stock.

agement Of the stocks had come back
to the hands that were entrusted with

was forced down over a point at one
time, and the general list was heavy
after the opening firmness. The mark
ed weakness OF Analganated Copper,
which lost more than 8 points" at one
time, had a decided sympathetic effect
on the general list. Traders who sold
the stock pointed othe fact that as an
Industrial on 2 per cent, dividend
basis, it was too high, compared with
United States Steel, now on the same
basis. The accompanying weakness of
st. Paul gave emphasis to this view of
the market attitude Of the Standard Oil
party and made the contrast stronger
with the support in evidence for num-

PRODUCTION and restoration OF game
birds and other wild birds. The law
was passed ito aid in the restoration OF
such birds in those parts Of the United
States adapted thereto where the same
have become scarce or extinct, and also
to regulate the introduction Of A1neri-
can or foreign birds or animals in To-
calities where they have not heretofore

II prohibits the transportation by in
terstate commerce Of game killed in vi
olation of local laws. That sentiment
has developed in favor of the execution
of the game laws is we'll known, to their
sorrow, to many innkeepers, common
carriers and dealers. Constitutional
questions have been raised. and cases
growing out of the killing of few par
tridges have gone to the supreme court
of the United States. 1t Is gratifying to
the spcrtsmen that the laws have usu-
ally been upheld. This has always been
the case excepting where too little care
was exercised in their framing. There
was much bungling in the earlier leg
