BEAU FIELDING.

Life In His Day.


Beau Fieldinx was young man OF
fashion in the reign of William III His
house was sumptuously furnished, his
hunters, hacks and racers were OF
great value. and "he kept table OF
princely hospitality" iIe had no os-
tensible source OF income. All that was
known OF him was that he was the
nth son Of Thomas Wilson, an impov-
erished gentleman Of Leicestershlre.
Evelyn describes him as a very young
man, civil and good natured, but OF
no great force of character" and very
sober and OF good fame" All attempts

should last. he would always have
enough TO live in the same way. Some

Holland mail, for which another man
had suffered; others that he depended
upon the gambling table, though he
never played for large sums. He was

Beacon Fires In China.

In China such beacon fires as spread
the alarm Of the Spanish armada
through England used to be the call
to war. Many years ago, the story
goes, the emperor sat with beautiful
woman looking toward the beacon
hills. She would like to see those walt
ing piles lighted, and upon her Insist
ence the thing was done. The greatest
excitement prevailed throughout the
provinces, and troops came hurrying
In from all sides. When the leaders
learned that no danger menaccd that
the fires were lighted to satisfy the
whim Of n woman, their wrath fed on
their lost confidence, and with the ac-
tual call TO arms the response was slow
and unenthusiastic. 1t was n repetition
OF the old story I'm Webster's spelling
book. wolf had been cried too often.

use W and wear out the old things

Don't touch this years fodder he
would say, till last years has been
consumed. Don't use the new harness
while the old holds out. The new red
carl runs better. but We will keep it
in the barn till the old gray one breaks
down"
Jacob sounded this principle of his

get especially tired when he would be
Obliged TO eat last weeks bread and so

nephew:

William paused in drawing on his
rubber boots.

you better go and fetch the horse?"

COLORADO HAS
PLENTY OF GAME
BIRDS, ANIMALS AND FISH ARE
ALL INCREASING IN
NUMBERS.
LAWS WELL ENFORCED
FIVE THOUSAND ANTELOPE IN
THE STATE AND LARGE
HERDS OF ELK.

Denver-Colorado has been a great
game country, is becoming a better
game country and in the future will
be one of the greatest game countries
in the United States. according 10 the
reports, predictions and recommends
tons made by D. E. Farr. state game
and fish commissioner. in his biennial
report submitted to Governor Buch-
tel Contrary TO the general be-
lief. elk. mountain sheep and other
species of wild game are not almost
extinct in the state and in Routt coun-
ty alone the state game warden is
certain there are several herds of elk,
ranging from $50 TO 200 in the herd,
while mountain sheep still exist to
the number of several thousand in the
wilder parts of the mountains. Five
thousand antelope are reported in the
state.
The report first discloses that the
state game and fish commission has
become a self-supporting Institution,
and that all manner Of game has in
creased under protection Market hunt
ing and game slaughter has been
wiped out There have been ia
persons convicted Of violating the
game laws within the past six months
and these have paid fines aggregating
sS.C51-e6. an increase in fines of So
567.l3 during 1908. Hunting licenses
10 the number of 81. s53 have been is
sued in 1908.
In his report. Warden Farr takes
up the several species Of game and re-
ports extensively on each. Best of
all news to the hunters is that pleas
ants will soon be lawful prey. These
birds are increasing al a rapid rate
and an open season is predicted with
in two or three years. The pheasant
is an insectivorous bird and of great
value TO the farmer. An appropriation
of $1,000 is asked to provide a care
taker for pheasants and increase their
numbers
Another appropriation is asked to
introduce the capercailsie or black
game bird into the state. This species
is of a variety that would thrive well
in Colorado and an appropriation of
$1,000 was made to bring it into the
state by the last Legislature. but this
amount was found TO be insufficient
Quail. the kind that whistles Bob
White and she crested quail. are in
creasing rapidly under closed sea
son and great sport is predicted with
them in few years.
The state warden recommends a
near closed season on deer, stating
that more were killed this year than
for seven or eight years previous. and
that does and fawns were ruthlessly
slaughtered
1t is advised that further appropria-
tons be made to keep up the fish
hatcheries and also that law be
passed to compel owners of Irrigation
bitches to screen them to prevent trout
getting in and dying there. Bounties
are asked of the coming Legislature
on coyotes. mountain lions. wild cats
and eagles. these animals of prey be-
ing destructive to the game in some
parts of the state. During the years of
1907 end 1905 the commission has used
sG0.029.15 of the ssi.10000 appro-
priated to carry it for two years.
