To THE PUBLIC:-Upou July
twenty first, 1905, I, over my
official signature, gave to the
public, in the papers printed at
Paris, my views of the Game
and Fish Law of Missouri. In
that article l said that 1 took a
widely different view of the
law, to that taken by the State
Game and Fish Warden, Mr.. j.
H. Rodes of Sedalia. Missouri.
Holding as Idid at that time
the view, that no person was
required to take out License to
hunt within the county in
which be or she resides. | fur
Their stated that | would act
upon this view and refuse to
prosecute any resident of Mon
roe county for bunting in this
county without license, until
this law was construed by the
Appellate court of this state,
at which time 1 would notify
the public of their action.
Upon Tuesday, March 10,
1906, the st. LOUIS Court of APP
peals handed down an opinion
in the case of Elk Parte Virgil
Helton of Marion county, fully
meeting my views of this law,
holding that this law did not
require a resident of this coun
ty to take out license to hunt
within the same.
l feel to congratulate the citi
zens upon the tact, that this Is
now settled and that theil
rights have been fully upheld.
Any person may now hun
within his or her own county
without license.
l am also proud of the fac
that the Appellate court hal
held that was correct in m,
Interpretation of this law; 81
now every citizen may feel fire.
TO hunt in his own county with
out license and your right
have been fully indicated.
Trusting this may set at res
all contentious as to his law,
beg to remain,

A JEWELLEsS QUEEN

ee 9gssa Mau fn of sf
ry'' Of Wales-is not very we'll
equipped with jewels-that is for
queen. AS the youngest Of three daugh-
ters Of the Prince and Princess @ Of
Wales her share of pretty things was
naturally smaller than her sisters', and
altho some really valuable gems were
among her wedding presents, they do
not compare for number or beauty with
the possessions of other European
queens. The most imposing ornament
Queen Maud can boast is a diamond
necklace left her in 1872, when she was
baby Of three years old, by her god
mother, the old duchess Of Inverness.
This godmother, Lady Cecilia Gore.
had most romantic history. She was
the seventh Of nine daughters of the
Irish earl of Arran, and married when
quite a girl a certain Sir George Bug
gin, who was something in the city,
Sir George died not long after their
marriage, leaving his widow handsome
fortune and his very plebeian name.
She was charmingly pretty, with all
the dash and charm For which her coun-
trywomen are famous, and the most Sc
ductive Irish brogue. Lord Brougham
used to declare that if he could only
speak with Lady Cecilia s accent peo-
pie would not stop to inquire as to the
soundness of his reasoning at the bar.
