FOR STATE GAME WARDEN.
Capt. Peter A. Chisholm, of Oakland
Is Being Doomed for the Place.

Is Being Doomed for the Place.
From a recent issue of the Grafton
Sentinel, edited by Mr.. G. A. Bolden,
formerly Of Oakland, the following
editorial relative to the application
of Capt. Peter A. Chisholm, for ap-
poiutment to the position of State
Game Warden by the Governor, is
taken and reproduced here:
Maryland is about to appoint a
State Game Warden, and we notice
that our old friend, Capt. Peter A.
Chisholm Of Oakland, is an applicant
for the position. While this section
of West Virginia is somewhat remote
to Western Maryland, at the same
time the county just east of us, Pres
ton, borders on Garrett county, Mary
land, and as the game laws of West
Virginia and Maryland are quite sim,
liar, it strikes us that State Game
Warden of our sister State who is
familiar with the laws of adjoining
states would be the proper thing for
Maryland, as we'll as for all adjoining
states having this appointive office.
Capt Chisholm is as familiar with
game birds and animals of West Vir-
ginia as he is with those of Maryland;
he knows every foot of Maryland and
of West Virginia alike, and is as famil-
lar with the game gardens Of the two
states as he is most probably with the
four corners of his own cabbage patch;
his entire life has been spent in study
ing the habits of game birds, and,
although he is one of the most success
full hunters Of the two states, and one
| of the most famous marksmen, he has
never been known to have ruthlessly
! destroyed game birds of any kind,
and he is one of the few sportsmen
who don't grow "bristles." If Cover
nor Narfield of Maryland, would like
to please the people of West Virginia
in any manner whatsoever, he could
not find better way to do it than by
appointing Capt. Chisholm State
Game Warden. While we realize
that this comes rather in the nature
of cheeky proposal, or may we
call it humble request? we neverthe-
less pay our tribute to Capt. Chish-
olm with clean conscience and with
desire to set forth his high popular
ity among the sportsmeu of West Vir-
ginia as well as Of his own state. We
have known him all our life, have adj
mired his true sportsmanlike spirit,
and as a citizen we also know him to
be substantial, upright, sterling-aud
we most certainly hope he will get
the appointment which he seeks, and
of which he is eminently deserving"

Leffer Id Iielhip Rrns.

Dear Sir The way to reckon the
cost of paint is to put both costs to-
gether: the cost of the putting it on.
Itwould save this country hundreds
of millions of dollars a year; it would
save you alone if you happen to be
a victim) several dollars a year.
See how it works. 1t costs rs much
to put-on one paint as another, don't
it,
Yes, if you use the same number of
gallons.
Well, don't l?
No, youth use twice as many gal
Ions Of adulterated paint as of Devoe;
and you've got to pay twice as much
for putting it on.
Mr. n Avery, Delhi, N Y, has two
houses alike and in same condition.
Painted one house with Devoe; gal
Ions, Painted the other house with a
paint that was half adulteration: 12
gallons. Same painter, Geo. Gilbert,
did both jobs. One cost $27; the other
$54.
Better go by the name.
