BY WILLIAM HOMAN.

Ow far the founders of this
nation were from enjoying the
religious and secular liberty
they sought is made apparent
bv nerusaI of the laws which gov
erned the first English colony in the
New World Jamestown Island. This
colony. whose tercentennial is to be
celebrated at the Jamestown Exposition
on the shore of Hampton Roads, near
Norfolk, Va, in 1907, forbade Quakers
to meet to the number of five or more
under main of fine and expulsion from
the colonies Other laws made to gov
ern the infant nation were equally
harsh.
For instance. in 1862 the House of
Burgesses passed laws providing that
"every person who refuses to have his
child baptized by a lawful minister
shall be amerced 1000 lbs of TOBACCO,
half to be paid to the parish, half to
the informer.
.aThe whole liturgy of the Church of
England shall be thoroughly read at
church or chapel every Sunday and the
canons for divine service and sacra-
ments duly observed.
Church wardens shall present to the
county courts twice every year. in
December and in April, such misde-
meanour of swearing, drunkenness, ETC.,
az by their own knowledge or common
fame have been committed during their
being church wardens.
ITO steal or unlawfully kill any hog
that is not his own upon sufficient
proof, the offender shall pay to the
owner 1000 lbs. of tobacco and as much
to the informer; and in case of in
ability shall serve two years, one to
the owner and one TO the informer-
''All persons keeping tipping houses
without license shall be fined 1000 lbs.
of tobacco, one half to the county and
half to the informer-
From the foregoing it appears that
informing and procuring information
was a profitable business to follow in
the early days of the colony There
are, indeed, many cases on record of
persons having grown rich and power
full through diligently following the
trade of giving information. in other
words, being professional telltales.

DOG THAT WAS A sMUooLER
Earned for His Master, But Was Dis covered and Killed at His
 Work.

The oficial organ of the Belgian customs department mentions the death of a notorious smuggler's dog which earned for his master modest competence. The latter at first made frequent innocent trips with his big. rough-coated companion across the frontier, until the customs officers had become quite friendly with him. Then his time for action came. He shaved the dog, wound Brussels and Mechlin lace tightly round it's body, and put over this skin closely resembling the dogs own. For five years the dog al- most daily trotted with a valuable hidden burden of lace across the bor- der into French territory. and probably the fraud would still be merrily going on had not friend" betrayed the se- cret. The faithful dog came to an un- timely end by revolver bullet. Dogs are often used, 1t appears. to run with dutiable goods across the Franco-Bel- gian frontier. This they are taught to do by course of training which in- cludes sound thrashings at regular in- tervals by men dressed as customs ofi- cials. so that the poor animals run away terror-stricken from the sight of a uniform

VISIT BY RUSSIAN POLICE.
Midnight summons-Shot Without
 Trial Before Dawn:

Ivan Krivorotoff, his wife and mother were reused in their home at the station of Golitvino, south of Moscow, by a loud knock about mid night on January 2. Ivan's mother opened the door, and three men en- tered, Semen Ivanoff, the head con- stable, who had been drinking; Vas silly Konkoff. deputy constable, and the gendarme stationed at Golitvino. All were we'll known to Krivorotoff. They entered his bedroom, and he shook hands with them and asked:
 "Iyanoff, what do you want with mel"
 Get up and dress, Krivorotoff," was the answer, land come with us to the station.''
 Krivorotoff's heart was gripped by the fear of death. The Semenoff regiment, had passed on its punitive expedition only day or two before. It is true Colonel Riemann had held a thanksgiving service for the sup pression of sedition, and had de- clared that enough blood had been shed and that there were no moro Semenoff soldiers in the vicinity, but the recollection of the twenty-six bodies in the fresh trench near the railway station was too much for Krivorotoff.
 ''Oh, come on," replied Ivanoff. "They are waiting on you at the in- vestigation.
 Krivorotoff told Ivanoff this was not true, as there was nobody at the station to conduct an investigation, and refused to go, declaring they wanted to kill him.
 What a fool you are, Krivoro- toff." said Ivanoff. Do you not know that the colonel said at the mass that there would be no more killed. What are you afraid of? Who's going to shoot you? Hurry, dress and come on."
 Krivorotoff again refused. The gendarme put his revolver to his Krivorotoff's mother begged him to go in peace so as not to anger the officer. He submitted. Before leaving he embraced his wife and mother Ivanoff sneered, Whats the use of snivelling? Might think you were going to be shot,
 Krivorotoff never returned. The railway hands heard several shots d few minutes later, and the grave of the twenty-six showed signs of hav- ing been reopened.
 Krivorotoff's wife went to the au- thorities for information. They of fered her a certificate that he had been executed by the military author ities on January 1, instead of the of January 3.
 Such, writes the St Petersburg cor- of the London Standard. Is the story related to V. Vladimiroff. the we'll known writer, by the mother and wife of the victim. Neither 1t nor any of the stories published by vladimiroff have been denied by the authorities.

State Board of Education Makes sug.
 gestiOns,

gestiOns.
 k. The state board of education Is sending out the following as to the observance of Arbor and Bird day: In addition to the reading of such poems and prose selections as may be obtatnable concerning trees and birds. dwell upon the fact that while the trees arc the natural protectors Of the water courses and that with out them tho land would be barren, the birds are themselves tree war dens, as they destroy the insects that feed upon the leaves and young shoots.
 Ask the children to tell the names of any trees of the locality that they know. Which shed their leaves in autumn and which keeping them all winter are called evergreen? Ques- tion them as to the different shapes of leaves and explain how the trees breathe through them. Ask them the various uses of woods-hard, soft, etc. What is charcoal? See If one of the children can tell how it is made. Explain that coal itself is made from the forests of bygone ages transformed by heat and press ure beneath the ground.
 Question the pupils as to how many birds they know by name and can describe. Allow one or more children to write their lists on the blackboard. Question them as to what they know of the feeding habits of birds-seed eaters and insect eat CTS, etc.
 The robin, barn swallow, oriole, bluebird and woodpeckers are insect eaters, while sparrows, yellow bird or American goldflnch, are seed eat CTS. The seed eaters also do good by destroying the seeds of innumerable weeds and they, too, often eat insects in the nesting season and feed them to their young.
 Song and wild birds, other than birds of prey, and food, or game birds as they are called, must never be killed or their nests robbed, for this is against the law.
