MADISON, Wis. April Ii Special
Chief Deputy Game Warden \. c..
Schaucr furnished the sensational testi-
money before the Senate investigating
committee Friday afternoon by stating
he had received no record from Stone of
24O deer con.iscated and sold early in
December, which was reported to the
committee by " arden Buckley.
Under questions by Senator Husting he
said he had records of money paid for
contscated game. lie said that all rec
OrdS of money received on sale of contis-
Gated deer were kept by Stone. He was
ordered to turn to his record for No

self aud none by any of the wardens.
The sensation came when HuStlng said
the committee had learned from Buck
ley. a discharged warden. that 24O deer
were contiscutcd early in December and
that they were sold for about $500.
Schaucr said he had received no record
OF this transaction, although he had
heard that two carloads of deer We're
shipped to Milwaukee and sold. All
money for contiscatcd game, said Schau-
er. is turned over To the state treasurer
but there is absolutely no record, he
SAID, of the money received for the
2lO deer sold by Stone.
Explains Stoner's Delay.
Schauer said he had not seen Stone
for two weeks. lie said that Stone
never had said anything about the large
sum received for the 2iO contiscated
deer. If the money had been turned
over, he said, he surely would know
about it.
Asked about the salaries of game war
dens. Schauer said they got from $3.50
TO 500 day and actual expenses. He
said he had heard, but did not know
for certain, that Stone had the money
received for the 24O deer in the bank.
He did not know this of his own knowl-
edge and had heard nothing Of the
amount
Schauer in explaining the long delay
of Stone in accounting for money re-
celved for pound net licenses said the
money was held back awaiting a decision
as to the constitutonality of the law
bearing on these licenses.
Senator Husting hurled ridicule at the
game wardens' bookkeeping system,
when Schauer explained the system.
Schaucr said that money received for
bOHt and pound net licenses was kept in
separate bank account instead of be-
ing turned over to the treasurer. the OBJ
ject being to hold it back until the courts
had passed upon the laws. He did not
know whether the money was deposited
by Stone as a personal deposit or in his
capacity as game warden. Under Sena-
tor Morris questions he admitted that
if Stone had died suddenly he would
not have known just where to look for

and the little one would run gladly
after her until old Blackie would call
"Cluck! cluck! cluck!" and then she
would turn around and run back to
Blackie,
:. Both mothers scolded until they were
hoarse, but it all did not good, for the
little chick didn't know itself which
hen was its mother. SO the mothers
walked side by side, first one scratch
ing and then the other for the one lit
tie chick that followed them.
Being the only child of two mothers,
the chicken thrived so wonderfully
that you would have taken it for three
months old instead of only one.
Then some one shut up both old hens
in separate coops, side by side. and
sometimes the little chick would sleep
under one old hens breast and some
times under the others.
But the little chick was getting too
big to stay in the coop all the time,
when she could put her head down and
creep out of a hole under the coop.
This made the mothers very fussy.
Each one of them gave long string
of advice as little chick started out for
herself.
"Cluck! clucki cluck' said old
Speckle. mind who are your compan-
ions. Don't go with Duck Waddle or
he'll lead you straight to the water and
you'll be drowned"
"Clucki clucki" said old Blackie.
"Don't go with Duck Waddle or you'll
have to do all the scratching and he
will gobble up everything you find"
"And mind your manners, child.
Chuck! cluckl cluck!" said old Speckle.
81 wouldn't have your sweet way of
talking changed to Duck Waddle's
Los Angeles herald., 1909-04-25

n NOE there were two hens that
ID claimed one chick, like the two
" mothers in the time of King Solo
mon who claimed one child. King
Solomon had wisdom enough to find out
to which mother the child belonged,
but in the case of the two hens and the
one chick no one was wise enough TO
know to which old hen the little chick
belonged. It appears that two old mems
began laying in the same nest at the
same time, and, both getting ready to
set at the same time, they quarreled
perfectly dreadful as to who should
have possession.
"Cluck! cluck! This Is my nest" said
old Speckle, sitting down among the
eggs.
said old Blackle, spreading out her
wings wide enough almost to cover old
Speckle and the eggs, too.
"Cluck! cluck! You crowd me-" pro-
tested old Speckle.
"You don't give me an inch of room"
said old Blackle.
Now, there is nothing in the world so
persevering as an old hen when she
wants to set, and so both stuck to the
nest for three weeks. But there had
been SO much scrabbling and tramping
that all the eggs were broken or chilled
but one, and that Matched out the
prettiest golden tinted chicken that
any one ever saw.
The eyes of both mothers fairly
cleaned with pride as they tried to
coax the little chicken out of the nest
to follow them.
"Clucki cIuck! cluck!' which meant
"Come! come! comet" said old Speckle,

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I wrote one letter to you, and 1 like
to have 1t in the paper.
1 sent my letter to grandma. I am
the only grandson, but there are five
granddaughters. I have three little
sisters Clara goes to school. She Is
6 years old Thelma is 3 and Elva is
only months. She is too nice for any
thing and she likes to pull hair There
is a little baby living near us who Is
Just two days younger than ours and
she can walk. Mamma says it is very
seldom baby walks at months.
oh, I like to have my cousins come.
They live in Los Angeles-two little
girls. When they come we go to the
beach and we have a good time. like
the little paper and the funny one; SO
do the girls. Well, do hope I get my
name plain this time. for mamma said
that is why il was wrong in the paper

twaddle for anything. Mind your man
ners."
4. And so Chicken Biddle started out. It
seemed just terrible to have her do
all the scratching for herself when she
had been so used to having two do it
fc~ her. And then she was lonely, and
there was no one running about alone
except herself and Duck Waddle, and
she was a beautiful duck and just
about the age of herself.
"Quack! quack! quack!" said Duck
Waddle, Fastening up. You are
beautiful chick. Let US be chums. I
worms and bugs, but I can't scratch.
You do the scratching and we will
share the profits"
So the two started off together, and
poor Chicken Biddle never did so much
hard scratching in her life; but
through all that day she never got
mouthful Duck Waddle gobbled up
everything, just as her mothers said
she would do.
Then Duck Waddle said: "Quack!
quack! quack! Let us go and take
swim in the water. It's lots of fun"
"Peepi peep! peep!' said Chicken
Biddle, which mean mo, no, no." L
suspect. You are all for self. I'm
not going to play with you any more"
And Chicken Biddle ran as fast as she
could-until she reached her mothers?
No; while she was gone, one of her
mothers had disappeared, coop and all.
She now had only old Speckle for her
mother, and as she crept under her
breast to go to sleep she thought to
herself: duck Waddle need never
coax me again to go with her, for l
won't do it,

Plays Amusing Joke

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t means whole days visit when
my cousin comes to see me and that is
when we play jokes. I'll tell you
about the jokes of one visit.
We decided to dress as Russian wo-
men with many colors. Then we went
to all neighbors asking them IL they
wanted their washing done. We were
not found out until we came to the
last house and we couldn't help laugh
ing.
Then we ate a lovely dinner on the
lawn and felt fresh again. In the after
noon we went down to the playground
and did many stunts. / did very
hard stunt and sprained my hand. We
had to go home then and after we got
home 1 nursed my arm until it felt
better.
Then we played the piano and sang
a few songs. 1t was o'clock and my
cousin went home after an exciting day.

Enjoy Tall Buildings

DeaN Aunt Laurie:
have some cousins who live in the
country and have never seen a large
city like Los Angeles. If any of them
were to visit me 1 could give them a
treat they wouldn't forget for long
time.
l would take them to the ocean, for
that is something they never see; then
there are SO many places of amuse-
ment to go to.
/ would take them on all of the sub
urban cars, then there are the differ
ent parks in the city and the large
buildings down town would make them
stare. as a three-story building is the
largest they have seen.
1 think they would be amused every
minutt of their visit.

Find Pleasure at Beach

Dear Aunt Laurie:
I have read so many, many letters
that i have decided at last to write to
you, too. The topic, when my cousin
comes to visit me-" is not SO very cas-
lily answered.
There are so many things I would
like to do but perhaps could not. I
should want him to see all the pretty
parks in Los Angeles and so many
other things 1t would take half paper
to print them ALL But the one / think
we would enjoy most would be to go
to the beach bathing and wading, to
play in the sand and watch the waves
roll in.
My little cousins all live in the far
east and I think this would be the
greatest treat could give them, as
know 1t was for me.

A GRAM MAR LESSON

We study grammar, Tom and I.
We know an adjective and noun,
And we can coniugate a verb,
AS we'll as any boys in town.
First person, present tense, II see"
IT saw for past tense is the law.
But Tom and I, we conjugate
Both verbs in one when we seesaw.
When Tom goes mp. then I go down.
When Tom goes down, up, up l CO.
Each is the first person in his turn,
And both, in best of moods, you know
We love our books and teachers, too,
And never at cur tasks are late;
But after hours, when school Is out,
Seesaw's the verb we conjugate.
