JAMES GOT A DEER.
Big Buck Had no "Horshoe NaiP' But
Air Cushion Served Purpose.

Hunters Home, Adirondacks, n. Y,
Nov 5.--James Laverty, or "Mr. Jim,
as he is known in this tremendous neck
of woods. has got his annual buck OF
course. This one, the biggest and fat
test deer shot on the mountainside this
fall. with the exception of that killed
ON the lump by Helen Middleton of At
lantic City on the opening day of the
season, gave him a shock When he
skinned it.
MIR. jim" would have got his buck
long ago if it had not been for Mrs.
Jim.'' There being more hunters than
deer here on the opening of the season,
she would not permit her husband to
go hunting for that buck until most of
the leaves had fallen, thus reducing the
danger of having her helpmate shot by
mistake, to a minimum. Therefore it
was that Jim watched the frost and the
early shower of leaves closely. Those
who don't know him thought his ex-
preston of delight at the beautiful col
oring along the mountain slope fol-
lowing the first heavy frosts was from
his pure love of nature beautiful. But
those who have seen his restiveness
along this time of year knew he was
waiting for the leaves to fall, so that
his wife would let him go hunting.
1t seemed safe enough on last Sat
urday, and with the permission of
Mrs. Jim" he shouldered his repeating
shotgun and started along the miles of
slope toward the John and Fred Mil
holland place, several miles away
toward the widest of the wilds. For
like the real hunter who always IS
careful of the lives and rights of others
he hunts deer with buckshot-not that
he is in fear of missing with rife,
but that a rifle bullet travels so fast
and far no one knows where it is going
to stop, especially when impelled from
one OF the modern high power guns.
Confident of her hunband, "Mrs. lin"
stood long and patiently in the chill air
in front of the famous Hunters Home.

Independents Invited to
Join the Ice Trust.
Independent Who Joined Tells
OF Trusts Methods.
Offered to Underseil Others Under
Orders from G. ". Morse.

New York, Nov. 5.-Supplcmenting
its mass of documentary evidence
showing the acquisition of numerous
INDEPENDENT plants by the American
Ice Co., the state today in the trial OF
that company for alleged violation of
the anti-monopoly law began taking
the testimony of former proprictors Of
Independent ice companies who had
sold their plants to the American.
Edward G. Clifford. formerly an in
dependent Wholesaler OF ice, who sold
out his business to the big company
and entered its employ, testified to the
conditions IN the district of this city
which he supervised for tie so-called
trust.
Independent companies. he stated,
had to secure their ice from distant
points because the American controlled
all the ice bridges along the Hudson
river in his territory. The ice bridge
maintained by his old company, he
said, had been closed by the larger
concern when it took over his plant.
Clifford testified that he had cam
vassed the trade of Independent dealers
in his district, quoting prices under
those of the independents and Secur
irg a great proportion of their trade.
"After you had canvassed the trade
of All independent" asked Attorney
Osborne for the prosecution, did you
try to convince him that he had better
sell OUT"
Objection to this question was sus-
tanned, but the witness was allowed to
say that he talked" to Independent
dealers after his canvasses of their dis
tricts Purchases of some Independent
companies followed. His instructions
to canvass the territory in the man
ner he employed came from Charles w.
Morse, he said.

The Government of the Common

the Federal Parliament which will
place it's defence forces on the sound
basis of "every man a soldier"
There will be, under the bill, COM

necessary must be provided, and these
matters will be included in the new
