STATE GATE LAWS.

At nearly every session of the
Maryland legislature during the past
fifty years-or for sessions when the
memory Of the oldest lawmaker run
meth not to the contrary-tbere has
been something doing in way of re-
forming the State game laws. The
Maryland game laws have been al
most as fearfully and wonderfully
made and remade as the State oyster
laws, which is putting the statement
pretty st-- .ue legislature
.Nt January an attempt
made to have uniform game
ssed for the entire state, which
1t Is proposed shall supersede and re-
place the various County laws now
in force. 1t is exceedingly doubtful
whether this can be accomplished, as
most of the Counties cherish the an
cient prerogative Of making the game
laws TO accord with local ideas.
If the commission which Governor
Crotbers has appointed can devise
some method that will result in max
ing game more abundant as plenti-
full as in the days of the muzz e-load-
ing gun-it will thereby lave dem
onstrated its usefulness. As the
cover for rabbits and quails has been
destroyed by agricultural progress
the destructive capabilities of the
gunnery used by huntsmen has in
creased The shortening of the open
seasons for hunting small game has
not resulted largely in lessening the
annual slaughters. If the hunting
period were limited to ten days, it is
likely that there would be multiplied
crusades during that brief time that
would not leave swamp or thicket
unsearched.
1t will be difficult to devise any
game law that will be generally re-
spected, no matter what pains and
penalties may be provided in the en-
deavor to insure its effectiveness. 1t
is safe to say that there never was a
game law in this State, whether gen
eral or local, that was not more or
less ignored. The best that can be
expected from a game law is that it
will be partially effective; at least,
that is about the best that has ever
been accomplished by the devised
and revised statutes for the protec-
ton and preservation of game
American.

NEW LEVEE PROTECTS
MISSION FROM WATER
School Buildings to Be Erected-La
Lomita Boulevard from River to
Mission-First in Valley.

Mission, Texas, Aug. Emission
has escaped without any overflow
from the present rise in the Rio
Grande. The levee which has been
constructed at the junction of the
Olmito and Fresno resaca, here
the water back, so that no water,
came from the river into the upper
end of the valley The building of
this levee has kept the water from
running into the resaca as it has
done heretofore during rise in the
river, and thus saved the roads and
bridges below from being over
flowed.
The Mission school committee has
let the contract for a school build
ing to be erected in the Mexican
village adjoining this place, to cost
$4,000. The Oblate fathers have
contributed handsomely to the fund
for this building. C. E. Jones has
the contract. A room has been rent
ed for another school in Mission
proper, which will be used temporar-
lily. A larger school building to cost
$1O,OO0will probably be erected here
during the coming season.

times the size of the ordinary speci-
men of that acid monstrosity at that,
being the 3rd straight game which
they have taken from the Orange
Growers two of which were shut
outs. The score was three to moth
ing. Beeville came here with about
as strong an amateur team as it is
possible to get together. but the
were apparently outciassed by the
Brownies, who simply played the Wis

OF Pse,m, who vas in the box yester-
day for tia locals, killed the run

demonstrated that they we're vastly
superior to the visitors. During the
game the Orange Growers were able
to make only two hits, while the
/ Brownies raped Gallia for FIVE One
of these was a two base drive to left
by Palm The wonderful fielding,
base running and hitting by the
Brownies was a revelation to those
who saw them play early inthe season.

good work in center yesterday, hav-
ing five chances and accepting them
all.

The way bod Toles plays second
base is a caution. There is not an
amateur second sacker in the state
that is his equal.

a good game in center.

bunch of players as have been
here this season. All are perfect

A BOOSTER FOR THE VALLEY

F. L. Bishop, of Monte Vista,
Colo, one of the old settlers in the
San Luis valley, who is now mar
keting the last shipment of his
peafed lambs, says that this prac-
tically cleans up the fed lambs in
the valley for this year. During
the winter Mr.. Bishop fed 5000
lambs, and his sale the middle of
the week Of string of S5-lb lambs
at $50 was one of the best Of the
week, every thing being considered.
There were fed in the valley this
winter" said Mr.. Bishop, approx
imately 100000 lambs. That is a
cut from what we have been feed
ing. We have fed AS many as
100000 in one winter. But we
are doing things little differently
now. We carry on more diversi-
fed farming We are raising
more small grain and vegetables
now than we used to. The potato
product is a big item. And land
owners can make big money rails
ing them. We think we have
garden spot for farming. And far
mers are becoming very prosper
Gus Sheep feeding on pens has
given our valley II wide name.
And now our small grain products
and the potatoes bid fair to rival

Such is the frantic cry of Mrs.
Mary Charles of this city.

Chinaman. In the criminal courts
of Boston a number of his country
men, one after another. arose and
gave evidence pointing to him as
one of the five Chinese hatchetmen
who shot pu" Chinatown last sum-
mer, killing four men. The jury
called Charles guilty. Judge Brown
says he must die on October II.
But Mrs. Charles says no.
"The men who testified against
him wer paid to do so," she cries.
They were paid by the men who
have been after my husband for 20
years. Now they have got hfm-by
perjury.
They were after my husband be-
cause he was honest-because as a
government interpreter he spoke
the truth. and they could not
handle him. They hated him, so
they are going to get him killed.
-Four good men testified that my
husband was out of the city at the
time the shooting occurred, yet the
jury believed those perjurers.
IF the state of Massachusetts
sends my husband to the chair. the
state will commit murder"

embarrassed or bashful in the
slightest degree. Evidently being
in love had affected a great i'm
provement in him. Then. when he
left her at the gate, he started
whistling new tune. Maribel rec
ognized 1t as the air of new
song, just out. The title of the
song was Tin Longing. Dear, to
Hold You In My Arms"
Although Married. knew that the
song was not meant for her, 1t
thrilled her strangely. She felt the
blood rush to her face and ashamed
of her weakness, she hurried into
the house.
A night or so later Harry was
to call on Married.. She had debated
whether she should allow him. as
she felt that he was In love with
another girl. but had finally decid-
ed that as he was not publicly en-
gagged 1t would be all right. As
Harry mounted the steps of her
house that evening She heard his
inevitable whistle. This time the
tune was that Of Sweetheart, I've
a Tale of Love to Tell You"
That was the last straw. Maribel
decided that she could not allow
Harry to whistle such tunes N her
or to her any longer. or course,
she felt that hes meant nothing by
1t, but 1t was getting on her
nerves. And yet she couldn't d.
rectly say anything about 1t &c
him, because that would show him
that she really cared for him. Ac
cordingly she hit upon the happy
plan OF instructing him through q
song which she would play to him
on the piano. The song that she
played was this, Don't Make Love
to Me When Someone Else Has
Got Your Heart" She played II
several times so that Harry could
not mistake her meaning.
But Harry only smiled, Then he
/ started whistling again. His tune
this time was TITS You l Love-
You--You--You" And somehow, O
moment laty, Married. found her
self laughing happily, her head
upon his should. his arms about
her waist
