Cor food.
When an animal is assailed on it's
breeding gorunds, it is surely doomed
in as much as natures opportunity Of
multiplying the species is cut off.
Thus it has been with the fur seals.
Every female killed in the vicinity of
the Islands left one or more pups on
shore to starve to death, and in this
manner year after year, tens Of thou
Sands Of the young persisted miser
ably. No wonder, then, that within
the last so years the rookeries of the
Pribylov group have been rendered
almost barren of the pinniped inhab-
ltants, the herd, being reduced in
numbers during that period from
about 100000 to 175,OC0-the pres
ent estimate.
Against such depredations by our
own people effective measures might
have been adopted but our govern
ment has been almost helpless to deal
with the Canadian poachers, all eff
forts to secure the cooperation of
Great Britain being vain. In as much
as \all of the sealskins are dyed and
otherwise prepared for market in
England, where for many years the
industry has given profitable employ
ment to upward of 10000 persons, the
attitude of our friends across the sea
il this matter has been, to say the
least of it, unintelligent; but even yet
it is unchanged, the main cause of it
being that the British authorities
were reluctant, on technical grounds,
to admit that our rights in Behriug
sea extended beyond the customary
limit Now, it happens that
the female seals commonly swim
from 20 to 30 miles away from the is
lands in pursuit of fish, and thus the
Canadian poachers are easily able to
destroy them.

WHAT MR.. JONES SAID
The story as Told on the Witness
Stand In a Virginia
Justice Court.

A neighborhood quarrel in a
Scotch-Irish settlement in Virginia
eliminated in a lawsuit in the JUS
tice court. Mr.. Davidson was on
the witness stand. The attorney on
the side that introduced him asked !:
what did Mr.. Jones say then?"
The opposing counsel objected on
the ground that this was merely
hearsay evidence. The squire sus-
tanned the objection, and Davidson's
side lost the case. 1t was appealed
to the county court the same point
came up, and the ruling of the
squire was upheld.
Six months had gone. Another
appeal was taken to the circuit
court. A year went by before the
final decision was handed down, and
the squire's ruling was again sus-
tanned. Another appeal was taken
and this time to the court of APP
peals.
The docket was crowded and time
dragged on through two long years
before the highest judicial body in
The state delivered the opinion that
the squire was in error and that
Mr.. Davidson might be permitted to
tell what Mr.. Jones said.
The case was remanded. Again
it came up before the squire.
-Four years had elapsed, and still
Mr.. Davidson carried the secret in
his possession. The whole country
was wild to know what Mr.. Jones
had said, and nearly the whole popu-
lation was present at the trial.
The persistent lawyer who had
appealed so many times put Mr..
Davidson on the stand. He asked
him many questions. Finally, with
a furtive glance toward the oppos-
ing counsel and with CLEAN Of tri-
umph in his eye, he said:
'Now, Mr.. Davidson, tell the jury
what Mr.. Jones said.'
All eyes were turned on Mr.. Dav-
idson, and all ears we're pricked up.
Mr.. Davidson shifted his legs,
stroked his beard and spat pains
takingly and deliberately at the ash
box. Then he looked at the jury
and said:

WELLS FOR MAYOR
Well Known Business Man Boom
 ed For Municipal Boners.

Waterbury, Ct.. Feb. IS, 1907. Editor of the Democrat:
 Considerable talk has been lately created in leading democratic circles as to whom will be the probable can didate for the mayoralty this coming fall. As . citizen and taxpayer of the city, I would most respectfully suggest the name of Ambrose H. Wells, democrat and citizen, whose record as democrat is beyond the faintest reproach of the most pre- judiced opponent of the democratic party.
 If conciliation and united efforts were made the chief characteristics by our local democracy the local democrats should have naught to fear with regard to the success of their candidates at each election. No man whom our local democrats can choose to-day would be more eminently fitted as a democratic can didate for mayor of our city than Ambrose H. Wells. Give him the nomination (providing he accepts) If honesty, executive ability and true democracy are the chief essentials for a mayor of our city, they can be found in the person of MT Wells, as our next democratic candidate for the mayoralty.
 Most respectfully yours.

Melito was preparing his breakfast in the shack and when the fire was not going enough to satisfy him, he grabbed an oil can and emptied its contents into the stove. Instantly there was an explosion which blew the can from the mans hand and scattered fire in all directions. In a short time Melito's clothing was on fire. as was that of Presenatage's who had been standing nearby watch ing his fellow laborer prepare the meal
 At the time there was no one else in the shack, and the men were un- able to quench the flames, but luckily their screams for help brought other workmen who were about to start their days labor to the scene of the blaze, and quickly pulled the burn ing clothing from the bodies of the victims.
 A telephone call was sent to Dr DeLigouri, but he did not start until boy came after him and told him the nature of the injuries.
