hand on the iron brace rail at the
side of the rig, and was climbing

for a new 1905 silver dollar by
a stranger yesterday.
I'VE have't one in the sub.

"As a matter of fact there is
none in the treasury at Wash
ington. I am willing to pay
$1,000 for one myself"
We'll, I don't want one that
bad" said the stranger
with a smile, and he went
away. Within a short time the
telephone began to ring and
for the rest of the afternoon
Mr.. Marlor was kept busy by
coin collectors and curious per-
sons who wanted to know way
a 1905 dollar was so valuable.
After the day was over, he
said:
Il will never joke with a
stranger again. Why, l have
heard from that $4,000 offer
from all over the city. AS a
matter of tact there were ne

of Sturgeon, for breeding pur-
poses. And yet, just think of
it: They were products of his
paddocks or yards just the same
as if they had have been calves,
colts or pigs and they were not
being shipped out of the state,
aud yet, he had to secure a per-
mitfrom a game warden before
he could close deal and ship his
deer, They fetched him $50.
Now just think. Fancy city
hunters at certain seasons can
go into the woods and kill deer,
bred, born and raised on other
peoples farms and yet the man
who makes business of raising
them, must ask some ones con-
sent before he can dispose of
them.
