the genial clerk. Don't you know
that raised umbrellas are against the

The young fellow looked dazed a

Farm laborers as usual are scarce

BIG GAME INCREASING.
Deer and Moose in Northern Mime.
sofa Multiply Rapidly.

Ns>s ~ANASAPsy AsssFANAyS
Game Warden Sam Fullerton of
Minnesota has the following to say
about our big game
1.-THE big game in Minnesota is in
creasing fast. There are more deer
and moose in Minnesota today than
there was five years ago. This seems
rash statement to make but it is
none the less true. The reason is the
increased protection afforded them
The lumberman and the pot hunters
were the chief cause of the fall of the
deer and moose in this state. These
conditions are almost entirely elfmin-
ated now as numbering in Minnesota
is fast disappearing, and the arm of
the law Is now long enough to reach
these petty offenders. Besides peo-
pie have seemed to acquire sense of
shame, as it were, and no longer con-
slider the game and fish commission
as a huge joke, but see it as a force
to be reckoned with If disobeyed.
why few years, ago it was posi-
lively dangerous for game warden to
make an arrest AS recently as eight
years ago party of Indians stabbed
warden to death, near Walker, for
trying to put stop to the slaughter
say that in the state famed
far and near as the Deer and
Moose state there are today more deer,
moose and caribou in the state of
Minnesota than in Maine, and with
proper protection there will be good
hunting in Minnesota for all time"

.BR|ST0W CHARGED
WITH KILLING
INDIAN
Assistant Agent at Standing
Rock in Fargo Jail to An
swer to Manslaughter.

James Bristow, said to be cousin
of Postmaster General Bristow, and
an assistant agent at the Standing
Rock Indian reservation, was brought
into Fargo this morning, charged with
manslaughter in connection with the
killing of Albert Smuttybear, an In
dian belonging to the reservation. The
tragedy occurred some time last win
ter and at the time of his hearing, Mr..
Bristow was exonerated of any and all
blame. However. the Indians, through
legal counsel, took up the matter with
the authorities at Washington after
securing additional evidence, and Bris-
tow's arrest followed. He is now in
carcerated in the Cass county Jail.
1t seems that the trouble arose over
the fact of Smuttybear's continued an
moving practices toward the accused.
Bristow, it is claimed, warned the
brave to desist or he would kill him,
and the Indian, it is alleged, there
upon took after Bristow with a re-
volver and chased him into the house,
breaking down door in the meantime.
In the scuffle which followed, the In
dian was killed, and in the preliminary
hearing Bristow was completely freed
from all blame.

Taft is the most polite man ever saw
in my life. Why, the other day was
In street car with him. and he got
up and gave hts seat to three women"
Scores of clippings based on this
joke reach the war department every
week. It has found its way into many
languages, but Germans seem to ap-
preciate 1t the most. Many Of the
German papers comment on the story
at length and say that at last the Yam
KEGS seem to be developing real wit.
