We are told that the Pennsylvania
railway is going to enjoin the South
Bend line from crossing their tracks. 1t

there when all Toleston is sleeping.

speedily settled. Toleston citizens are
anxious to see the first car on their
streets.

Hunter shoots Tame Muskrat

Wounded fatally by a gunner who
had obtained permission to hunt for
game on the farm, Pete, a tame
muskrat, for flve years the chief at
traction of Charles Waters place, at
Swinefield, N. j., crawled from a
brook to the feet of his master Sun
day morning, looked at him piteous-
ly and pleadingly. and then died.
Instantly there was rage In the heart
of Waters. He ran to the back of
the barn and saw the slayer of his
pet running across the fields toward
Caldwell. When the news OF the
death of the rodent was communi-
Gated to the other members of the
Waters family they denounced the
shooting as deliberate murder. &"
Even old Rover, the family dog,
dropped his ears when he saw the
bleeding body of his playmate And
the cats, which had had 80 many
good times sporting with the musk
rat in the barnyard and down by
the brook at the back of the barn,
seemed to understand that some one
had committed a crime which never
could be repaired. Knowing the
muskrat's feeding ground was back
of the barn, Waters had expressly
stipulated that the gunner should not
do any shooting there If that in
junction had been obeyed Pete
would probably be alive and well

NEW LAW WILL
PROTECT TIMBER
Louisiana Would Prevent Cutting
of Trees Less Than Twelve
Inches In Diam eter.

II the Legislature OF Louisiana
passes the forestry law proposed by
the Governor of that State, and said
to have the support of the largest tim
ber owners, 1t will be the most ad-
vanced step yet taken by any State
to regulate timber cutting on private
lands.
BY the terms of the proposed
statute, the cutting of trees under
twelve inches in diameter, four feet
from the ground, will not be per-
mitted. The law does not apply to
those who in good faith wish to clear
the land for agricultural purposes,
or who need the timber on the
ground for roads or bitches, or in the
case of an owner or tenant who uses
the wood for domestic purposes.
The lumberman will be required to-
fell his trees in a way to cause the
least damage to young timber, and the
refuse must not be left where its
presence will invite fire or otherwise
endanger the small trees. The pen
atty provided for violations of the
proposed law is a fine of $25 to 500
for each offense, and Imprisonment
may be added. Each tree wrongfully
cut will constitute separate offense.
The proposed law not only delimits
offenses and names penalties, but also
sets forth the reasons why such law
is thought advisable.
Timber is becoming scarce, It says,
and ought not to be needlessly vast
ed Forest destruction will carry
with 1t other evils besides dearth of
wood. 1t will cause destruction, soil
erosion and increase foods and
droughts. to the damage OF the whole
people. The forests ought not be
wholly cut down. the proposed law
further says, because they assist in
obstructing disastrous tornadoes.
The Supreme Court of Maine re-
Gently Tuled that that, State may law
fully restrict the clearing OF privately
owned forest land II the public would
be injured by such clearing Louis
iana's proposed law goes still further
IN the same direction and follows the
lines OF the opinion rendered by the
Maine Supreme Court. 1t is worthy
of note that the two States which are
first TO take this advanced stand In
forest protection are 1900 miles apart
and have forests not at all alike In
character. different soils. climates
with few points in common, crops Of
wholly different kinds. geography and
