The law also forbids the employ
ment in mills and factories of chill
dren under a certain age.
Every two years certain wholly
selfish men and sap-headed women go
,o the legislature to get that age linn
IL reduced so that still younger chill
dren can be employed in factories
Some day instead Of being reduced it
will be advanced. Some day 1t will
be utterly impossible to take tenth

DEsERTERs TO STATE INTERESTS

The State Legislature ADJOURNED
last Tuesday and the closing hours'
according to press reports, were
marked with consid srable confusion
due to the point being raised by some
of the members that the House had
no ouorom, and that, therefore, bills
on passage could not be enrolled.
The legislature was finally adjourned
and quorum was counted by the
sneaker. but it is still held by some
that it lacked two members OF
having the necessary nu nber to con-
stitute quorum.
We think that this desertion to the
State by it's legislators at time when
their presence was needed to pass i'm
portant measures looking to Its vel
fare and progress, after these members
had drawn their money for the full
term. is a reflection upon them. And
we are proud to say that tho repre-
sentativs Of Washington county cannot
be counted among that number at
they remained at their posts OF duty
until the last minute of the session
Such desertion at the time OF neet
should be, if possible, reprimanded il
some way, even to bringing sui
against each member departing befor
their full services had been rendere'
to the State.

GAME DESTROYED BY THE COLD.
Whole FIocks of Dead Birds Under the S Glow.

Middletown, N. Y.-New York City sportsmen will have to seek other than their usual haunts for game this year, as the quail partridge, woodcock, rabbits and deer have been almost exterminated by the unprecedented cold weather of this winter. Farmers coming in from outlaying districts say that whole flocks of dead birds are uncovered by the thaw- ing snow. Even the hardy crow and hawk are among the victims of starvation. The carcasses of deer also are found here and there This condition seems general throughout the counties of Wayne and Pike, in Pennsylvania, and Sullivan in New York,
 Not only have the animals and birds had to fight the cold and starvation, but they have been distroyed by the wholesale by voracous wildcats, which have been driven by starvation into places where they have never ventured before. even go- ing to hen houses after domestic birds. Walter Steets. foreman of Chester w. Chapin's big game preserves in Sullivan county, on Wednesday shot the largest one of these animals ever killed in the county. The animal had played havoc among MT. Chapins imported English pheasants and Belgian hares.
