THE NEW GAME LAW.

The Tribune hereby acknowledges
receipt OF a copy of the new game
law from State Game and Fish
Commissioner, Jesse A. Tolerton,
who has established headquarters
at Jefferson City.
1t is a very simple thing, getting
a hunters license in Missouri now.
One doesn't have to undergo an
examination as if Tor life insurance,
All that is necessary is 81, if one
wishes to hunt in his own or ad-
joining counties, or So, if he hank
ers to hunt over the entire state.
The law permits persons to hunt
upon their own land without a
license.
The new law will go into effect
August 16. Many copies. OF ii
have been printed FOR general dis
trioution, and, Judging from the
demand Tor copies, the public
must Goe taking a great deal of in
terest in the new measure. For
the most part, it does not differ
greatly from the old Walmsley
law, enacted in 1905 and repealed
in 1907. The main features of the
new law are to foe found in the
old.
Copies of the new law may De
had on application to the county
clerk or to the State Commissioner

Attic Hides Treasure
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
This is the first time that have ever
written to you but think that l shall
write often. We do not take The
Herald but my uncle takes it and so l
read it. l hope that 1 can write just
the same.
One day when I was but years of
age Dorothy and 1 went to see my
grandma. We played in the yard
little while, then went into the house.
Grandma gave Us each a piece of cake
which was very good. AS soon as we
ate that we looked at some books.
We soon got tired of that. so grandma
told us to follow her. We did, and she
went up to the large garret. She said
that we could have anything we wished
to take.
We looked around, at first not think
ing much about it, but after looking
around few minutes I found a large
box. / called to Dorothy at once and
we opened it eagerly We began to
look over and through the things, which
were very old.
We found a great many interesting
things, too.
"Ohl" cried Dorothy, "run!''
what is the matter?" ! asked.
"There is a mousei" she answered
I laughed, and when she saw how
brave l was she made up her mind that
she would do the same.
We began again to look at the things.
At the bottom of the box l found a
picture that was a great deal better
than all the things in the garret. 1t
was the picture of my aunt when she
was a baby.
1t was half past when we started
downstairs. We showed everything we
had taken.
Grandma had long been looking for
the loved picture, because she had not
seen 1t for thirty years. We started
home happily ANNA CHUML.

Finds Treasured Relics
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was a warm July day and mother
and father and grandma went for a
ride and 1 was left alone at home.
AS I had nothing to do but read and
play l decided to go upstairs and look
into grandmas garret to see what
could find, for 1 loved to look at odd
things.
Now first thing l saw was a bunch of
letters tied together. They were diff
ferent from the ones we have nova
days. And then I discovered box in
which were uniforms; the suit was
navy blue and so was the cap and the
gloves were yellow. Now this made
me feel rather queer, for l couldn't
imagine who could have worn those
strange things, for papa wasn't a SOL
dier or any one | knew.
AS 1 searched more and more I dis
covered more queer things. At the
very bottom found a neat looking box
about the length of myself. Now if
you would just guess what was in it
a revolver and rifle and sword and such
awful things which would scare any
child like me.
Then l closed the box the way it
was and thought a while over those
strange things. And as l glanced in
the other corner / saw a candle with
blue ribbon tied around il. Now 1
did not know what that was for, but
] tried to get it out of my mind.
Then I closed the garnet and went
downstairs and / got just in time, for
they were just driving in the yard. 1t
was now about o'clock and mamma
started dinner. All that time l sat
in my room thinking. Now dinner was
ready and they called me. When 1
had finished Invent back to my room
and 1 heard mamma telling grandma:
"I wonder what's the matter with
Elizabeth. for she acts so queer?"
About 8 O'Clock l went to bed and
was soon Joined by grandma. She
asked me why / acted so queer and
told her first about finding that candle
and she said that was her grandmoth-
er's candle and that she is saving ii.
After a little pause 1 said: What is
that uniform and sword and every
thing?" She refused to answer for a
while until asked her again and she
said that was grandfather's and that
he died in the war and that she had
saved them. Dear child" she said,
IF you hadn't found those things today
you would never discovered that your
poor grandpa died in the war, for was
going to sell those things tomorrow"
And we didn't say another word.

A Rare Basket
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A year or so ago / was spending the
day with my grandmother and she told
me that 1 might go upstairs and look
through the things packed in trunks
and boxes. l was very much delighted
and went upstairs Immediately. l
first looked through a trunk of old
school books, amusing myself with the
pictures in them.
Then [ came to an interesting look
ing box. l raised the lid and peered
inside, but 1 saw nothing but paper
wrappings. I removed the latter and
found a beautiful handmade indian
basket, much larger than those you
commonly see.
l knew there must be a story con-
nected with it and so I went down
stairs to grandma with the basket
in my hands and asked her about it,
and this is the substance of the story
she told me.
My greatgrandmother came to Cali
fornia during the Civil War and set
tied near San Jacint,. When the fam
lily was near its destination, half
starved Indian woman came into camp
took pity on her and made her a men,
Der of the party. This woman soon
developed into a strong, earnest-faced
Indian of the higher type, and she
also showed an art in weaving baskets
"And this basket, her masterpiece,
was made just before her DEATH"
Grandma finished her story. 1T has
always gone to the girl in the family
and so some day you will have it,"

selected one. The dresses that were
in the trunk were all silk and satin.
About this time one of the boys had
found an old trunk with soldier suits
in it, which were grandpa's. The boys
all dressed up in them. One of the girls
said let us have a play. We can have
one of the girls for the queen and the
rest of us can be her court. All right
they ali said at one breath.
So we all began getting things to fix
up the stage with. We found an old
chair with a~white velvet back, and
this we had for the queens throne.
Just as we were going to start to
play we heard somebody calling, and l
went down and asked what was the
matter. Grandma wanted to know
where we were. 1 told her and the rest
of the folks to come up to the garrest.
They all came up and had a fine time
