of my acquaintance and customers for
the last six years.
I was looking around for a place to
establish drug store when l ran
across the present site. I ran across
Mr.. Eowser at the same time When
he saw me inspecting the empty store
and learned the nature Of my business
he observed:
My friend, let me tell you something.
Don't take this store unless You know
your business. This is no location for
a man who has just quit working in a
sawmill. We want a druggist here who
can tell quinine from morphine without
having 10 hunt up some cobhlcr to help
him"

along without his advice. He flew mad
in moment and replied:
Then you go ahead and mix your
poisons and tooth powder all together
and see what will happen to you"
l had been settled Il week before he
came in again. He was good natured,
and his bearing was paternal He
at once made himself at home, and he
jotted down few rules for my future
guidance, as follows:
Keep your strychnine in one place
and your quinine in another
DO not sell carbolic acid to any
one you may suspect meditates taking
his or her own life.
BE courteous and respectful to all
customers.
If a customer asks your candid
opinion about consumption cures and
liver pads give him straight talk.
GIVE child just as much icorice
for nickel as you would an adult.
In making up prescription ever
bear in mind the fact that the former
occupant Of this store poisoned off a
fat woman by getting in the wrong in
grcdicnt."
In addition to the above. he informed
me that he would drop in occasionally
10 encourage me with his presence, ana
that if he saw l knew my business he
would in time become a patron. l
didn't give him any encouragement,
but he began dropping in soon after
that ana scattering fatherly advice all
over the place. If he happened to find
me putting up a prescription for a
woman in waiting he would loudly OBJ
serve:
prescription, eh? Now, doc, remem-
Der what | have told you. Don't make
any mistake in the ingredients. We
had a woman poisoned here last year,
and the people won't stand any further
nonsense"
The woman would become frighten-
ed, Of course, and four times out of
five would ask for the return Of the
prescription and take it elsewhere. If

face entered the store and asked for
creosote for toothlche the chances

the slightest idea of bestirring himself
as an official, and it never occurred
to him that he would be called upon to
exercise his official authority.
The unexpected was getting ready to
happen, however -Four days after the
departure of the warden his deputy
took a stroll through the woods with
gun upon his shoulder. 1t was simply
a matter Of conscience with him, and
he did not intend to tire himself out.
He had heard of no campers within d
dozen miles, and he was therefore con
siderably surprised at hearing the re

the young mans breast as he started
out to run down the yiolator. lie did
not have much trouble about it. As he
neared the lake he heard d wounded

could distinguish a person in canoe
That person was holding the discharged

watched the dying struggles Of his
game. The canoeist was wearing a
nondescript garb, and it was three or
four minutes before young Taylor
made up his mind as to sex and NUT
tered to himself:
by lingo, but it's girl camper, and
she has surely shot a moose. What the
deuce am l going to DO about arresting
her and conveying her twenty-five
miles through the woods?'
Two or three minutes later the moose
for it was a moose, and big bull at
that-ceased his struggles, and the ca
noe was padded to the bank
"That's right-come ashore" called
Taylor. do you know that you have
killed a moose in the close season and
thereby subjected yourself to q heavy
fine if not to Imprisonment as well?
1 am Il deputy game warden, and it is
my duty to place you under arrest"

Corsica have for ages been the crown

just as at least once in its history they
were its salvation by Offering to its
army Of defense secure fastness and
a means of sustenance against invad-

progress on every hand, and over wide
tracts the woods are disappearing, leav-
ing the hills and dales nothing but
bleak wastes. Strong protests are be-
ing made by many of the older inhab-
