PHOTO MAKES TROUBLE
4 FOR THE GAME WARDEN

The absence Of a colored porter from
a photograph of three men and four
moose, came near causing the arrest and
prosecution of Samuel f. Fullerton,
state game warden, in his home town
Of Duluth. q
+ Marvin Hughitt, Jr., son of the presi-
dent of the North w estern road, with a
party, was returning from a hunt in 2
been shot. At Grand Marais Mr..
Hughitt, Fullerton and Neil Finch of
Tracey were standing guard over the
moose when a photograph was taken.
This photo showed but three men and
four moose.
The law allows but one to each hunt
er. Some sportsmen in Duluth, I'M
friendly to Fullerton, raised a purse to
bring a prosecution against the game
warden. Then the explanation was
made that the fourth moose was
brought down by the colored porter OF
Mr.. Hughitt g car, who was not In the
picture. And as none of the Duluth
men could prove. to the contrary, the
prosecution was dropped.

"A Long-Ago Thanksgiving. q
q. =. MORRILL,.

1t was Thanksgiving fifteen years
ago. We held a union service in the
Simpson M. b. church. The audience
was composed OF deyout eighth warders
who had met to return thanks for Mr..
Lowry's establishment of ten-minute
trains on the motor line, the better CON
dition of the real estate market. and
the absence. of blind pigs in our vi
entity. n. 55
The hour had arrived for service, and
people who were anxious to get home on
time for dinner were looking toward the
clock.
i rose to pray. As pastor Of the Cal
vary Baptist church [ was accustomed to
have the floor all to myself; but ], had
devout and very. deaf brother in the
HN1Glory to Coo, ~ Praise the Lord, 4
and SO on, until I became embarrassed
and hastily closed with my friend :
next repeated a Amen!'''
Then Rev. Mr.. Blank Of the Bethlehem
Presbyterian church began to preach
the Thanksgiving sermon. He was as
practical as pious, and treated his sub.
iect from the material standpoint. He
spoke of our temporal blessings, and
he described the old-fashioned Thanks
giving, and enumerated the tempting
Stores laid in by the good housewives
in preparation for the event. .:
NV attention was divided between
listening to the sermon and looking al
the old, deaf brother on the front seat
who was getting warmed up again.
When the minister said:
HThere were the treasures of the
orchard, the luscious, red apples,' he
exclaimed "Amei!' ~
Rev. Mr.. B. was as much surprised as
had been in my prayer, but he went
on:
"Think of the spicy walnuts! =
uPraise the Lord!'' interrupted the
old man..
"Glory to God!'' he shouted, now
fairly aroused.
The responses were becoming sc
numerous and amusing that the
audience smiled, and the speaker made
haste to close, mentioning Grand
mothers rich, ~. brown doughnuts,
| which brought out: a resoundlng Hal
leluiah!' from the ,fervent worshlper.
Of all the Thanksgiving services
| have ever attended, the memory of this
one fingers the most plainly and pleas
Tie deaf brother has since gone t.

where the ears of the deaf are un
