DEER LAW VIOLATED
Number illegally Killed In a Year and
a Half, 1877.

Stowe. Dec. 24-The official fig
ures giving the number of deer legally
killed during the open season, October
21.26. as announced today by State
Fish and Game Commissioner H. G..
Thomas, of this place, show that 1913
were reported as hot during the
period of six days allowed by law for
hunting. The astonishing feature Of
the report is that from June 30, 1906
to December "a, 1907, it is known that
337 deer were illegally killed. 1t Is
probable that many are killed which do
not come to the attention Of the COM
missioner so that it is not unlikely that
during the period mentioned more
than twice the number reported were
killed contrary to law.
: Owing to the lack of funds 1t Is said
wardens are compelled to curtail their
labors and are unable to exercise the
vigilance that would be possible with
larger appropriation to pay for more
efficient protection.
Many deer are killed by dogs, the
number probably reaching 500.
1t is often a difficult matter to con
Wet those arrested on charges of VIC
lating the fish and game laws. Cases
frequently are nolle pressed or plea
of guilty is accepted for number OF
offenses considerably fewer than the
facts appear to warrant.
The report of deer legally killed Is

Unsuitable Ambition, Greed, Reckless

What is the difference be-
tween a $50, 600. 600 trust, In-
fant Industry and james H.
Whitecotton? None.
The former cries for more and
more protection, that it may
wax fat and fleece the home
market
And the latter, well, he is
quoted as saying to his friends
when in this city Monday:
Boys l want 10 be elected for
the short session l need it as
a "stepping stone"
Great Scott, so does tue mil
lion dollar trusts need tne tariff
TO fleece the home market, and

In CONCLUSION: The Whitecot-

did Meriwether come out after
Mr.. Whitecotton had announc-
ed himself?
Here is the answer: For three
days before Mr.. Whitecotton
gave out his announcement,
there had been petitions out
pleading with Meriwether to
make the race. That being
true, Mr.. Meriwether was real
ly in the field three days before
Mr.. Whitecotton was, therefore

FOUR SHAFTS OF HUMOR.
Filthy Remarks from One of the Fore
 most Jokesmiths.

With the truly artistic tempera- ment the bird in the bush has scant notion of doubling it's value by chang ing to the hand.
 A has-been is a man who has spent his time with hair vigors, electric brushes and newspaper recipes, when he should have been winning a laurel wreath to cover his ignominy with.
 When you enter shop state just what you want. For then the mer- chant can go intelligently to work to sell you something else. The great law of commerce is to sell people what they don't want. What they do want will sell itself.
 But, probably it is no harder to live up to your reputation when you are young than it will be to live it down when you are older.-Puck.

The Farmers Bank.

St. Louis, Mo. Nov.-Edward C.. Lewis, on trial in the United States District Court on the charge of hay- ing used the mails to defraud in or ganiZing and promoting the Peoples United States bank, took the witness stand in his own behalf. In a slow tone he dramatically told the jury how he came to organize the bank. and asserted the institution was found ed for the benefit of the farmers of the country, and that he had first submitted plans for the bank to St. Louis leading bankers and they had approved them. Lewis said he is 3S years old and mayor of University City, St. Louis county, and justice of the peace there. He said the plan of the bank first occurred to him early in 1902. He said that, owing to ru- ral subscribers to his publication, he came especially in touch with rural business. This led him to form the project to establish bank of and for that class of people. He said it was his purpose to convert practically everything he had in the world into stock in his peoples bank, and was doing so as fast as he could, when his bank was closed by the Postoffice De- partment- Practically every insti- tuition in which I am or have been interested or connected with has been paralyzed," Lewis testified. "I was ab- solutely isolated from the world, and my enterprises were annihilated. l could not even get a letter from my wife or mother" There were sever al lively tiltB between counsel on both sides, but Lewis was allowed to tell his story.

ITCHING RASH 18 YEARS.
Girls Rash Spread and Grew Worse Under Specialists Care-Perfect
 Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

When my daughter was baby she had a breaking out behind the ears. The doctor said that she would out grow it, and it did get somewhat bet ter until she was about fifteen years old, and after that she could get noth- ing that would drive it away. She was always applying something in the way of salves. It troubled her behind the knees, opposite the elbows, back of the neck and ears, under the chin, and then it got on the face. That was about three years ago. She took treat ment with a specialist and seemed to get worse all the time. We were then advised to try the Cuticura Remedies, and now I don't see any breaking out.

Another Earthquake.

Reggie di Calabria, Italy, Nov- The province of Reggie di Calabria was visited by another severe earth quake at 2:20 Monday afternoon. It was especially severe at Brancaleon, Feruzzano and Bianco, and a number of houses were shattered or damaged. The people, who had summed up cour- age to return to their homes after the earthquake of October 27, again became panic stricken and fled sec ond time to the country. Some of them are camped in the open air, while others have taken refuge in subterranean grottoes. Men and wom- en, rich and poor, priests and sol diers are thrown together, and the de- vout are raising prayers to the Ma donna and the saints to help them in their misery. The gravity of the situation is increased by the inclem- ency of the weather. A second vio- lent shock was experienced in this town at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The people were thrown into a state of consternation, which was added to by the stories of further damage at Feruzzano. Assistance has been sent to this place.

TO RESUME PAYMENTS
That Business Will Soon Be On Cash Basis.

Chicago, Nov.-The decision of the national government to issue $150,- 000,000 in bonds and certificates met with general approval throughout the West. The benefits expected to re- suit from the move were anticipated in the higher grain markets, both here and in other grain centers of the West. Bulls were more disposed to buy than for some time past, and shorts took to cover hastily as soon as the plan was announced.
 In this city some of the leading bankers announced that preparations were under way for the resumption of business on normal cash basis, and it was believed, they said, that inside of ten days at the outside the clear ing house checks would be withdrawn from circulation. Leading business men here agreed with the bankers that the issue of the bonds and cer- tificates will be of great force in bringing the affairs of the country banks to the conditions prevailing three months ago.
 All LII IHSm were Ol lf6 OpluioH that the issue of S150,000,000 would be subscribed several times over, and the report from St. Louis that one man there was anxious to take one three-hundredths of the total issue
 was cited as proof of the accuracy of this opinion.
 Railroad men, particularly those connected with lines running to the West and Southwest, were greatly pleased with the decision to issue the bonds and certificates. They asserted
 that it would supply the ready money,
 which is needed at once to move the crops. The opportunity to secure gov ernment bonds would, they declare, at once unlock large amounts of cur | rency which at the present time are in vaults, and with the addition to l the funds of the banks which would | inevitably follow this would put an end to the scarcity of funds. Not in Chi cago nor any large city of the West | has any banker or prominent busi-
 ness man been reported as entertain | ing other than a favorable view of the decision of the government.

FOUND OUT JUST IN TIME.
Or Finger Bowl Would Have Been Put
 to Novel Use.

The late William Cassidy, one-time editor of the Albany Argus, possessed the traditional Irish wit. On one oc casion, number of years ago, he was a guest at a political banquet in Al bany. At that time finger bowls were seldom used, and their correct usage Ga passing fad) meant to dip a corner of the napkin in the water and there with daintily cleanse the finger tips. Most of the men present eyed the in- novation, when introduced at dessert, narrowly and uncertainty. One after another ended by plunging the hand into the crystal dish. But MT. Robert Pruyn, a well-known Albany gentle man, correctly moistened bit of his napkin and laved his fingers. MT. Cassidy watched him admiringly, not having as yet touched his own glass. That's good" he whispered to a neigh bor. That's good. If Pruyn hadn t done that I should have put my foot in t."-Harper's Weekly.

Where Legislature Meets Every Year

There are now only six states in the United States whose legislatures meet every year. In the others the legislatures meet only once in two yeas, and this is true of the great states of Pennsylvania and Illinois. Only the legislatures of New York. New Jersey, Massachusetts, Georgia, South Carolina and Rhode Island meet once year.
