Brigham Young, binds them to their
church in chains unbreakable, writes
Marian ROnsall in her third article in
the HOusekeeper, on The Tragedy Of
The Mormon Woman. 1t kinds them
in chain whose links are mysterious
ceremonies and oaths of secrecy with
terrible threats; temple robes, and
certain garments never to be removed;
the laying on of hands by Mormon
elders; secret marriages and proxy
baptisms; signs and grips and pass
words, which, if known, will admit
them into the everlasting glory. There
IS nothing in Mormonism which so
IOrcefully illustrates the cunning OF
the priesthood, nd its more or less
hypnotic influence over the people,
than the temple service and it's mix
turo OF theatricals, free masonry and
mysticism.

teristics, story may be told of a
Mormon woman of my acquaintance,
who was protesting against her hus
bands taking Il plural wife, and was
threatened by him that eternal damna-
toin would be her portion if she were
not obedicnt to him. II suppose, -
said the woman, you mean you will
not call me in the resurrection? Well
remember she said "it wasn't you,
1t was Elder --- who passed me
through the veil He knows my new
name, and he will let me into CORY
without your aid" Since this had
been the case, and that part OF the
service referred to as passing through
the veil had been accomplished by the
woman with another man. through
some little irregularity, the husband
was nonplussed by the argument, and
never made, that particular threat
again.

be supplemented by the international
legislature, and the question OF an in.
tornational executive would then easily
solve itself. The fact that no military

no danger OF the violation OF national

without providing for an executive

the result Of the natural Efforts Of pcO-

STATUTE RELATING TO HUNT
ING IN PASTURES AMENDED.
MUST GET PERMISSION
Hunters Not Allowed to Shoot in En-.

err Says He Is ejocing
in Rural Districts Over the New
Protective Provision.
Madison. Aug. 80.


An amendment to the fish and game
laws, copies of which have just been
received by hunters in Madison, prom,
ises to work for the interests OF the
farmers who have heretofore been
annoyed by people who We're prone to
turn their pastures and grain lands
into hunting reserves. Hereafter no
one is allowed, under the amended
law, to hunt in enclosed fields with.
out the permission OF the proprietor
or tenant, The purpose of the amend,
ment is to protect stock which nj,
lie in the fields.
A number Of farmers In Dane coun
ty have suffered from the depreda
tons of hunters during the past few
years and not a few head of stock
have been killed through the careless
ness Of the nimrods.
The law amended is section 4565d
Of the statutes of 1898 and has to do
with hunting on anothers land, in
pastures. The following words have
been added to follow the word stu
ate" 'Or any person who shall with
cut permission of the owner, hunt or
shoot on the land enclosed by a fence
and used as a pasture for stock" and
is further amended by adding the word
other" after the word any to the
end that the law may protect the own
ers of enclosed lands used as a pas
ture against persons hunting or shoot
ing thereon without the permission of
the owners thereof, regardless of the
notice required as to other lands, so
that the section shall be amended to
read as follows:
ANY person who shall enter into
any growing or standing grain not his
own with firearms or permit his dog
to enter into any such grain without
the permission of the owner or occu-
pant, the land on which the grain is
without permission of the owner, hunt
or shoot on the premises of another
enclosed by a fence and used as a pas,
ture for stock, or shall hunt or shoot
upon any other land of another after
being notified not to hunt or shoot
| thereon, shall be punished by a fine Of
not less than SIS or more than $40 Any
owner or occupant of land may give
notice provided for in this section by
maintaining sign boards, at least one
foot square upon at least every forty
acres of the premises sought to be
protected in at least two conspicuous
places, or by giving personal, written
| or verbal notice"

speech. He calculates that each
hour of the sittings of the Belgian
chamber costs S1,457, each minute
s242S, and each second something
more than 40 cents.
Starting from this basis he calcu-
ates that the words Of the president
a. the opening of each sitting, Gen,
tIemen, the sitting has commenced" "
cost about 81. A laugh, for which,
when uttered in his presence, he could
find no reason, was timed by him to
cost $1,25.
Marks of approval on many
benches" cost as much as $40 or SIS;
d suitably prolonged movement can
not be produced at less than $40 or
$25. "Ironical cheers at the left"
are exceedingly costly, while loud
approval at the right" runs to a price
beyond all reason.
He notes that few days ago the
applause from the government
benches at the end OF speech of the
railway minister cost exactly $1309,
and that a sitting of three hours.
which was occupied by three different
speakers, cost close on to $4,000.
Patti could be heard in Bruises for
such a sum, he declares; or grand
opera, claque and all, be had for less!
