A Colorado mar who Is visiting in
Wellington, told II. l.. Woods this
story: The game warden of Colorado
was walking out in the mountains the
other day when he me a hunter with
his gun. The officer suggested that
that ought to be a good country for
hunting.
at certainly Is" said the hunter,
proudly. 81 killed m of the finest
bucks yesterday l ever saw, and he
weighed over 200" 1t was the season
when deer may not be shot without sub
jecting the hunter to a heavy fine.
"Well, that Is a fine one" said the
twarden, 'and do you know who you
are talking TOT"
Being assured that he did not, the
officer said:
"Why, I am the chief game warden
of Colorado"
The hunter was only taken back a
moment. when he said:
And do you know who you are talk
ing to?" The warden did not know.
well, sir" said the hunter, you are
talking to the biggest liar in the whole
state Of Colorado."-Kansas City Star.

The Minnesota railroad commission ha,
ordered q reduction in rates ranging from
Is to 80 per cent on milk shipped over
the Mantorville branch of the Chicago
Great Western road. The company will
appeal to the courts.
The hearing on North Dakota coal
rates before Referee Hoskins has been
concluded. The findings will be submit
ted to the State Supreme Court. Efforts
are being made by the officials of the
State to get the coal rates ordered by the
railway commission enforced. Heretofore
the railroads have ignored the order on
the ground that the movement of coal
was of minor Importance in a freight
way and the rates were confiscatory.
The directors of the Chicago. Burling.
ton and Quincy railroad at New York
ratified the purchase of q controlling in
terest in the Colorado and Southern,
which had been acquired from Edwin
Hawley and associates. The purchase

pany, or The Municipal Traction Com
pany to restoration of their property, but
would reserve that decision for the final
hearing.
1t leaked out in connection with the
order of the Pennsylvania railroad for

to supply the rails at S2S a ton, while
permitting the inspectors of the railroads
to be present at all times during the pro-
cess and to determine how much shall be
cut off the top of the ingot from which
rails are to. be cast. The concession came
when it was learned that the Pennsyl-
vania had begun negotiations with for
eign makers. ss

all the strength and power of the gov
eminent would be stretched forth to
put IA stop to the calamity yet quietly
and insidiously tuberculosis is yearly
rffccting this fearful loss of life and
the government as well as individuals
seems to De just getting awake to the
great possibilities of the case.
In every city and considerable village
in the United States there should be
provided, under authority of law, an or
ganiZation for the prevention aid cure
of tuberculosis under the supervision of
medical men. These organizations
should be provided with accommodate
tions for the treatment Of incipicnt and
advanced cases of the disease and
should also have authority to safe
guard those who are p~redisposed by
enforcing hygienic conditions.
The advanced or incurables should
bn separated from the incipient or cur
able cases as they are the centers OF
infection and the greatest danger to the
public.
The isolation of consumptives on
railroad Journeys, particularly on sleep
ing car trips across the continent Is
urged by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, he
Of the chemistry bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. He points out
that separate cars for those afflicted
with tuberculosis are as necessary as
detention camps.
The spread of the disease by con-
sumptives travelling on b railroads is
a well-known danger, explains DR.. WI
ley, who states that he is
apparatus to take samples of the ma
terial breathed by people in sleeping
cars. AS soon as these are taken they
will be analysed, with the general OBJ
ject in view Of supplying fresh air to
those who travel.

DROVE WOLVES FROM NEW YORK
Why Pennsylvanians Had Grud%e
Against PeopIe of Empire state.

Why ennsyIyanian Had GrudGe
Against People of Empire state.
Wolf drives were held in his section
less than a century ago. 10 the New
ark Valley Herald DR.. Gates writes
the following interesting account OF a
famous drive in Ifoga County, New
York:
"In the veal of our Lord lS2S the
wolves then running in this county De
came so numerous and 50 pestllent mar
the towns Of Richford, Berkshire, an
dor, Union and Lisle held a confer
ence over the question and at thAt
meeting it was resolved to appoint TWO
men in each town to act as a commit
tee to drive the wolves beyond the Sus-
Quehanna river.
Il can give the names of only two
men on that committee, these being An
thony Nj. Tyler of this town n Ho-
race Gates Of the town Of Union, there
being no town Of Maine G In addl-
ton to the committee other men ana
large boys Joined in the drive. Inc out
fit for each man was a dog, II he had
one, a gun and plenty of ammunition
and a large COW bell. Nights they
stood on guard, ringing the coWbeiis
and shooting off their guns so the
wolves would not go back.
The march commenced about half
way between Hartford Mills and Rich
ford and was formed east toward
Hunts Corners and west toward SIa-
tervflie. The signal to march south
was the firing of q gun at North Rirh-
ford, then every man on the line that
had a gun fired it and every one rang
his cowbell. At night dry trees We're.
set on fire so the men could warm
themselves and wild beasts would keep
back. 1t must have been after the sec
ond Tuesday in February, for that was
day at that time.
Every man had his knapsack on his
back full Of good victuals and could
.replenish it at almost any house he
to.
1.-The order of march was like n alf-
moon, the ends Of each line ahead of
the center. Every day new volunteers
joined in the march.
Quite likely some old readers of
his story can remember how long
Pennsylvania held a grudge against
New York for this act Of driving he
wolves into Pennsylvania"

THE NECK RUFF.

1t Reached Its Full Glory In the
Sixteenth Century.
One Of the most peculiar and inter
esting %evolutions in historic fashion is
the growth and development of the ruff
in England. This ruff began its career
as a huElie Ittle something like a tuck
running along the top Of the chemisette
from shoulder to shoulder. You can
see it grow in the portraits Of royal
p~ersonages slowly, but surely, like a
great linen flower opening it's plated
petals from generation to generation.
During tho, reign of Henry VII. it was
scarcely more than a budding excres-
cence, but with Henry VIII. it had out
grown it's tuck stage to the extent OF
reaching up to the ears and was begin
ming to sport a mild flare. Those were
the days Of such strict sumptuary laws
that in order to wear black genet you
must be royal, to wear sable you must
outrank your viscount %neighbor, to wear
marten or velvet trimmings you must
be able to show an income Of over 200
marks a year. The reign of Edward
vi. and Queen Mary merely fostered
the ruff without encouraging it to any
greater development. But Queen Eliz-
abeth, seeing in it possibilities for off
setting her red hair and clear skin,
famed it into vigorous life. In h six
tenth century the ruff burst into full
bloom. Men and women, even tiny
%princesses, were overshadowed by the
stiff rays Of the ruff on all great occa-
sions. Even over France, Germany and
Italy it spread its white pinions and
held unquestioned sway until it fell
with the Roundheads.
