a HINT TO HuNTaRs.
a Connecticut Farmer Gays Deer Arc
Destroying His Vegetables.

A farmer In the town OF Barkham-
sted writes to tho Hartford "Courant"
q detailed statement Of what he has
suffered from the ravages OF deer in
the past ummer and OF the meagre
compensation with which he has been
forced to content himself, that seems
to form jusuiicable ground for ON
plant. The complaint is the more
worthy Of consideration from hhe
reasonable tone in which it is voiced,
II one is led thereby to believe that
1t is based in fact rather than In I'm.
agination.
This famer OF Barkhamsted, to on
dense his troubles has had DESTROYED
by deer this summer the product OF
one-fourth of an acre of wax beans,
24O out OF 1853 cabbages, and three
fourths OF an acre OF mangel wurt-
zels, getting from the latter three tons
OF crop, whore he had reason to ex-
pect twenty tons. In compensation
for all this damage the state has paid
him the sum of $50. He has 0 take
that or nothing for there is no sr-
Ing the state. Farmers who have
tried. to raise crops Of this sort. and
some others who have had experience
with them, may judge how inadequate
q sum this Is to pay a farmer for so
large a part Of a whole summers lab
OF.
II can't AFFORD to work all summer
Ike Il slave and lose everything Just
for he pleasure OF some city sports, :
says this farmer, sadly. Hasn't he
come dangerously close to the real
root OF this matter? For what are we
SO jealousy protecting our Connects
cut deer? Why are we allowing them
to multiply SO unrcstraincdly, to be
SO practically undiSturbed that they
venture with impunitv on 10 the lau..
or any farmer, and into any field he
cultivates? Is it from motives OF hu-
mainly or love for the dear, graceful
animals themselves? Not for q min
ute. Tho rca motive back of this
careful protection of the deer is the
idea OF certain misguided ones who
think they are sportsmcn, that in
time we may be able to make Con
necticut over into n happy hunting
ground for at least a few weeks / in a
year, with the customary attachments
to the deer shooting season elsewhere
presumably. There are others than
farmers who should have an interest
IN preventing any such result.
Meanwhile, let's face this deer stu
alton fairly and sensibly. Ii We must
protect the deer in all his deprcda-
TONS for a few years longer, let's see
that the farmer who suffers gets lust
remuneration for his suflerings. In
that way we shall run up a state deer
expense account whior 49,. 49, .t~.-

CHARACTER IN TINE TONGUE.
Germany's Way Of Sizing People Up
Available Chiefly to Doctors.

Germany has taken up the pastime
Of reading character and telling for
tunes by the tongue. Somebody has
been making n study or the organ Of
speech and has discovered that 1t 10
full OF indications.
A long tongue is said to denote
openness Of character. 1t suggests
generosity and free handedness, lts
possessor makes friends and enemies
easily but doesn't save money.
When the tongue is long and thick
the openness degenerates into a ten
ture Of the owner is beset with trou-
bles Of lis own making. 1t also indi-
Gates nightincss and Inconsistency.
Short tongues indicate se~cretiveness
and discrimination. Their owners
make good detectives and attorneys.
The owner may acquire some mohey
by economy and guile but has not
largeness OF spirit to make a great
fortune. Thin pointed tongues are
found in dimdent people who do not
succeed in life.
Short and broad ones accompany
craft and falsehoed: the person who
has such a tongue is compelled by il
to deceive and bctray, whatever effort
he may make to Keep straight.
The vibrant, quavering tongue de.
notes the artistic temperament. Bril-
liant carmine hue is a sign of long
life, pale pink tongue denotes weak.

THE STATE CAPITAL
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
DEPOSIT OF PENSION MONEY
A Former Rule Has Been Repeated
and a New One Will Be Adopted
by the State Board.
New Rule for Old One.

The rule requiring members or SOL
diers' homes in Nebraska to pay por-
ton of their pension money to the
cash funds of the homes, recently
fought through the courts Till It's le-
galitv was sustained and then sus-
nended by the state board OF pubic
lands and buildings till further orders,
has been repleaded by the board ana
a new rule will be adopted. At pro-
lonsed session of the board this was
decided upon and as the member or
the board who was delegated to draft
the new rule does his duty the action
of the board will be made official.
The new rule which was tested In
the courts and which was upheld and
which is row reScinded provided that
each member of the homes might re-
tain sl2 a month Of pension money ANA
pay 10 per cent on all over ST.
month and not more than SIC month;
20 per cent on all over $50 and not
more than $23; 30 per cent on all over
$24 and not more than $29. and what
ever the commandant and board shall
deem Just on all over $50. If men,
Der is helpless the rule provided that
he should pay a portion of pension
money deemed equitable by the board
and commandant, unless he should
have a dependent wife or children. An
in the court proceedings provided that
any member having a dependent wife
or minor children who refuses to con-
tribute two-thirds of his pensOn, on de-
mand, for the use of such dependents.
offers good grounds for his discharge.
It was discovered by the board that
the rule had not been enforced at the
Grand Island home. but was enforced
at the Milford Lcme. AS il was con-
sidered more favorable than the old
rule adopted many years ago by the
pOpulist administration, the members
OF the present board supposed it would
be satisfactory to all concerned. In
this they were incorrect as shown by
the injunction suit that was COM
menced by member of the Grand
Island home and backed by prominent
politicians.
Although the state board won the
suit in the supreme court, the suit is
still pending and the plaintiff has
right to file a motion for a TeIearing.
Until the suit is finally settled the
board canOt adopt rule that would
take any part of pension money, even
if the members desired to do so. 1t is
understood the rule agreed upon will
provide that no veteran who is able
to earn a livelihood or who has means
of support shall be admitted to the
home and that such veterans may be
honorably discharged at The discretion
of the board. No pension money will
be retained but if in the judgment of
the board any member of the home is
incompetent to handle his own pension
money he Gill be required to deposit
all of it with the cOmmandant and it
will be paid back to him in Install
ments such as the commandant deems
necessary for the good of the member
and when the member is discharged
from the home he will receive back all
his funds on deposit with the COM
mandant.
