the bell Is one OF the most enjoyable
things about shooting. and cannot at
present be found when hunting wild

Of the gallery and the open air could
be combined. The same plan might
be followed with elephants. The lo-

In the shape Of elephants, and thus

hunters waited along the line for a

plan would be to anchor a balloon over
every lion and let him break his neck

With the artificial game will come
a great improvement in trophies. Per-
sons who like To have their chairs

more satisfactorily with the metallic
heads obtained from the iron animals

any size or shape, and they can be
given real cheerful expressions, some
thing rarely seen In the seminatural

could, OF course, be provided. A musty
bearskin rug can never look 80 taste

HICKORY TREE HIS MONUMENT.
It Marks the Grave of an Ardent Ad-
mirer OF Andrew Jackson.

In the Baptist graveyard at Canton
lies the body Of an old revolutionary
soldier named James Sayres. A rude,
unlettered sandstone marks his grave,
but a more conspicuous monument Is
a large hickory tree the trunk Of
which, three feet from the ground,
measures 511a inches in circumfer-
ence.
James Sayres was an ardent admir-
er of Andrew Jackson, so often called
"Old Hickory" from the character Of
being so unbending in any cause
which he believed to be right.
Mr.. Sayres always wore a sprig Of
hickory on his breast on training
days" and before he died directed
that a hickory tree be planted on his
grave. This was done and after the
tree attained proportions deemed un-
suitable TO adOrn a grave 1t was dug
up. Another tree sprang from the
roots left in, and this in time was
also dug up.
When a third tree appeared, with a
persistency in a good cause worthy Of
emulation, relatives OF the deceased
directed that 1t be not disturbed.
Hence the tree Of large proportions
that annually showers its nuts over
the grave of the admirer Of "Old Hick-

atty imposed upon a defendant is for
three purposes; first. as a punishment for
the offense; second. for the reformation OF

from committing the same offense.
Judge Kimban criticised Mr. Harper for
having mslabeled the goods for nine
months and for not having made a
change until the inspectors for the gov
eTnment made purchases for the purpose
Of a prosecution. The mislabeling, Judge
Kimbali said, consisted IN statements that

tanned no poisonous" ingredients. 1t had
been shown in evidence, he said. by ex-
perts that it did contain poisonous IN

was doing.

Judge Kimball. that Mr.. Harper VIII
use any such misleading statements. That
purpose Of the law has been accom-

Judge KimbaH said that during the
trial he had been informed that repre-
sentatives of the druggists association
and manufacturers associations had been
in the court room for the purpose OF re-
porting the proceedings and instructing
them on the law, &c.
Il think with counsel for the defense
that the conviction in this case will have
a deterrent effect. So far as the drug
gists are concerned they will be exceed
ingly careful how they follow this law in
the future"
Judge Kimball then pronounced sen.
tence.
