that the open season for hunting quai

IT WORKED A CURE.
Anecdote Of an English Doctor Of the
Last Century.

i Anecdote Of an English Doctor Of thu
Last Century.
OF the eminent physicians Of
England during the early part OF
the last century not one was more
!. justly celebrated than DR.. Syden-
ham. Of the anecdotes Of his med
ical experience, related by himself,
the following is worth telling:
For long time the doctor had
been consulted by gentleman of
wealth and leisure who was per-
sistent in his demands for medical
help, who took all the medicines
prescribed, but who did not appear
to improve. At length DR.. Syden-
ham said to him:
"Sir, l have done all I can. If
you would be thoroughly cured you
must consult DIR. Robinson at In
I7erness, in Scotland. He is exceed
lingly clever in such diseases as
yours, and if I give you letter to
him I can assure you he will give
you relief"
/ It was a long journey from Lon
] don away to the extreme north Of
Scotland, but the patient had plen-
1ty Of leisure. He had money
enough, he had good horses and car
riages, and, above all, he was anx-
lous to be cured. So away he went.
Blu, arrived at Inverness after
lab9ious jaunt of fully three weeks,
l1e searched for DR.. Robinson in
vain. He could find no such doctor.
And. what was more, he was credi-
bly, informed that such a doctor had
never lived there. The patient bot
tied up his wrath, had his horses
harnessed and their heads turned
homeward, and the distance, which |
had occupied him three weeks in |
going, he covered in ten days on
his return. Upon reaching London
he made at once for the house of
DR.. Sydenham, upon whom he burst
like whirlwind.

"Sir George, answer me. Are
you not better now than you have
been before for years? In short,
are you not entirely recovered from
that old malady?"

Can Hunt Squirrels and
Rabbits.

The State Game Commits
sion has now decided tna1
squirrels and rabbits can be
hunted all the year and they
are among the game unpro.
tected. The Commission some
weeks ago held it unlawful
to kill or hunt squirrels and
rabbits from May Is to Aug
ust LIST, on account of the ex-
piration of the regular license.
The question was referred to
Attorney Amos L. Ponder.
Mr.. Ponder's opinion is as fol-
lows:
Answering your request for a writ
ten opinion as to whether a person
must have license to hunt squirrels
and rabbits, | beg to say, that a
hunting license js prerequisite to
hunt any game or birds in the State.
The title to Act No 227, Of 1908, de-
cIares its purpose to protect game
birds, to define what species are game
birds To authorize issuing of license
to hunt and kill the game, etc." IfE
the Legislature bad stopped here, no
license would have been required to
hunt squirrels and rabbits, Or if the
Legislature had carried out the sam.
expressions in the body of said Act
it would have answered the same pur-
pose; but Section IL Of said Act
clearly indicates the intention of the
Legislature to tax the privilege Of
hunting. The act Of hunting is taxed,
aod not the kind, quantity, nor quauti j
ty OF the game killed. Just like anv /
other occupation Or privilege tax. 6
Section 8 of said Act reads as fol- !
lows: "1t shall be the duty of sad r
Game and Fish Watdens to see that G
every person hunting i'll his State has :
in his possession an official hunting
license, except in the case of resi-
lent hunting on his own land"
"Section 9 Of said Act provides for p
the issuing Of said license BY the An. pl
iltor during the month of Juyp at,. p]

Poured Oil On VeniSOn

Up in Superior the other day
a hunter had returned from the
woods with a big buck deer
which he had killed, and as the
deer was taken to the express
office it was confscated by the
deputy game warden for som
infringement OF the law. The
hunter was highly peeved at tn,
action of the game warden and
he declared that il he didn't eat
the venison nobody else would.
Following the declaration he
went to a nearby grocery store
where he purchased gallon OF
kerosene and poured it on the
deer at the express Office. The
case is d unique one and it is
said that the warden has found
no law to cover this case.

Mary Hangs On.

The steamer Mary Scott, the
one whose reliability can always
be depended on is still running
and making all of her regular
trips between here and Ashland.
Captain Doherty says that he
has never run his boat as late as
December before and that this
year he will keep up the business
as long as the weather will per-
nit. The ferry has had a very
successful season this year and
the travelling public always has
the almost confidence in the
boat and it's splendid crew. This
is the only ferry boat now run
ming, the others having discon-
tinued the run some time ago.
