case by incubation.
The farmers of Contra Costa coun
ty. California, have hit upon a new
plan to get rid of the squirrel pest,
and through their representatives in
the board of supervisors have appeal.
ed to the University of California tc
aid them. The new scheme will re.
ceive the backing of the university.
1t consists of the spreading Of a
plague that already exists among the
squirrels by artificial incubation. The
farmers of Contra Costa county have
lately discovered that the squirrels
have been dying off from some new
disease which has attacked them
But the pests have not been dying
fast enough to please the farmers,
who think they have found a way to
assist the disease.
Some bright mind recently suggest.
ed that the malady might be spread
by capturing a few of the diseased
animals, extracting the plague germn
and inoculating hundreds of others,
which would in turn infect those
among which they are turned loose
The plan seems to be perfectly feas-
ible one and may solve the problem
of the squirrel pest. which has annoy
ed farmers for a long time in Cali

What Farm Life Can Do

John McAleese. former superintend.
ent of police and a leading politician
of Pittsburg, has forsworn politics
forever and is devoting his energies
TO farming. On recent visit to the
scenes of his former activities he
offered a reward of carload of pump
kins and a barrel of sweet potatoes
for any case of insomnia, indigestion,
paresis. political helplessness or gold
brick ague which he cannot cure. Said
cure is to be effected without the use
of knives or surgery and by simply
living three months in every year on
a farm.

She watched him shuttle down the
path and along the road to the tavern.
Presently two light hands were laid
on her shoulders, and a soft. low voice
exclaimed:
Dolores. Dolores, am Dora. Look
up and tell me you are as glad to see
me as am to have found you. ! am
so glad. Dolores
Dolores fingers closed tightly as
she looked up at the girl before her
the cousin who had come to claim her,
the only one in all the world who
had ever loved her since Betsy Glenn
died. She was small little lady and
neatly dressed from the wide-brimmed
white hat with its dropping gray
plume. to the blue ribbon around her
throat, and the soft gray costume and
delicate gloves. Her eyes were wide
and gray, dark with excitement, soft
with n touch of tears; her mouth was
gentle and sweet, but the lips were
colorless; her small oval face was
white as death, save for faint trace
of feverish color upon either cheek
Dolores knew nothing of the nature
of Dora's disease. and to her the girl
was picture-something to look at
and love and admire. but too fair to
touch. Her eyes grew luminous as
she looked at her. The brown eyes
and the gray met. Dolores lips part
ed in one of her rare smiles that
transformed her face for the moment;
her eyes were like wells of light,
beautiful. unfathomable.
Young Green was standing behind
Dora. During the time he had known
Dolores never had she looked like
that; it was revelation to him of
what she was capable. She did not
s'e him; she saw nothing but Dora,
and 1t was uncommon for women to
show such marvellous depth of soul to
another woman. Dora saw no one but
her cousin. They did not kiss each
other; they offered no endearment
common to women, but Dora sat down
on the doorstep beside Dolores.
81 am so happyi' she said.
Dolores said nothing. Her eyes
talked for her.
Young Green, with a feeling that he
had no right to be there, passed un-
noticed around to the rear of the
house and entered through the low
door of the pantry.
DR.. Dunwiddie greeted him with n
smile, but he did not speak. as he was
busy with the bandages on Johnson's
arm. On preparing one of the band
| ages he stepped aside. and at that
moment Johnson slowly opened his
eyes upon young Green's face. He was
conscious, and his eyes had the old
look in them excepting that 1t was
intensified by their hollowness. His

DEATH OF JOHN ROPER.
A Resident of Waterbury for Nearly
Fifty Years.

rALy 1SdTS.
John Roper died yesterday after
noon at his home, 254 Dublin street,
after few days illness. He retired
last Wednesday night in good health,
but some time later he was stricken
with paralysis and sank gradually I'M
til the end came. He leaves one son
and a daughter, William Roper and
Mrs Thomas Carmody, also a brother,
Charles Roper. Mr. Roper came to
Waterbury from Ireland in 1856 and
soon after went to work in the wire
mill at Holmes. Booth & Haydens. At
that time James Corcoran, son Of
Timothy, who, it was said, was
brought over here from the old coun-
try in barrel by Israel Holmes, was
foreman in the wire department and
held the position until 1862, when he
was succeeded by Charles Roper, who
was at the helm until 1885, when he
retired and the present foreman, Ed
ward Chapman. took charge. The
deceased worked under the different
foremen, and was considered the most
skillful hand at the business in this
part Of the country. For several
years he looked after the fine and
fancy wire. Owing to an injury he
received when a boy he was lame and
with increasing years found 1t rather
difficult to get around. On this ac-
count, during the seven months of the
trolley strike he paid for a hack to
convey him to and from the factory
He was informed that nobody would
find fault if he should ride on the cars
but he didn't care about that. He
was bound to keep off the cars during
the strike and he did it. He had a
wide circle of friends. all of whom
held him in the highest esteem and
will regret to learn that he will be
with them no more. There was no
more agreeable neighbor and shopmate
than Mr. Roper, and probably no man
in, the community who felt more re-
joiced at anything that came to his
notice which was calculated to ele-
vate mankind and render those about
him conteTlted and happy. He de
spised hypocrisy and managed to give
people who practiced it a wide berth,
so that in many respects Mr. Roper
was an ideal citizen and it is not TO
be wondered at that those who knew
him best were his warmest friends.
The funeral will take place to the Sa-
cred Heart church at $50 o'clock to-
morrow morning.

FILLED UP WITH LIQUOR
Thomaston Man Slept While His
Watch and Money Were Stolen.

Thomaston Man Slept While His
Watch and Money Were Stolen.
George D. Wedge, a farmer, from
plymouth, came to town yesterday to
visit relatives. While here he i'm
bibed too freely of the flowing spirits.
His condition became such that he
thought his was in Plymouth and laid
down upon a pile Of stones some place
near the tracks of the Highland divis-
ion, thinking THAT the stones were a
stack of hay. When he awoke his
gold watch and $50 in bills were miss
ing. Some persons met him ON Mead
ow street and brought him down to the
Naugatuck station about 5 O'Clock i'll
the afternoon. Mr. Wedge acted in
such strange manner that the men
assisting him thought he had beer
drugged and the police were notified
Detectives Kennaugh and O'Gorman
arrived upon the scene, but after 6
thorough investigation could discover
no evidence Of the Plymouth man hav-
ing been drugged. The latter had a
ticket for Thomaston and he was sent
there on the GAS train.

HUNTING IN CONNECTICUT.
Sportsmen Can be Arrested by Any
Old Person Now.


Old Person Now.
1t is not generally known, but 1t is
nevertheless fact that the last legis-
lature practically killed hunting in this
state and at the same time it dealt
severe If not fatal blow at that old
amusement. nut hunting. The new
law is as follows. ID
EVERY person who shall throw
down or have open any bars, gate, or
fence upon the land of another, or who
shall enter upon the land of another
without the permission Of the owner,
occupant or person in charge thereof,
for the purpose Of hunting, trapping,
fishing or taking or destroying the
nests or eggs of birds, or bee hunting,
or gathering nuts, fruits or berries,
shall be fined not more than $50, or i'm
prtsOned not more than thirty or both.
The possession by any person, while
trespassing upon the land of another,
of a gun, dog, ferret or fish rod, shall
be deemed prima facie evidence of his
intention Of hunting or fishing thereon.
The owner, occupant or person in
charge of the land, or such persons as
he may command to assist him, may
arrest any person violating any Of the
provisions of the preceding section and
forthwith take him before some proper
authority, who shall, upon complaint
of the. proper prosecuting officer, pro-
coed to try such person"
The law further provides that the
parties making such arrests shall be
entitled to the same fees as are al
lowed to constab1es for similar service.
1t can thus be seen that the farmers
in the Legislature surrounded them
selves with considerable protection this
time. One sportsman said when he
read the law that the only wonder is
that in providing for a state police that
they did not limit the membership to
residents of the hay belt
