out-stepping handsome lad again. Sc.
Of course, when he got in the house
his wife dodn't know him. He looked
in the glass Mt himself, cut a caper
and then he said:
Shure, Kathleen, twas the blessed

so Kathleen ran, and Michael lit
his pipe and waited for her. But She
didn't come back. He waited and wait

TO the vale.
No Kathleen did he see anywhere,
but tho vail Of a babes voice weep-

Mi. StrauS Gives Opinion.

Attorney General Isaac Lobe Straus
has given number of opinions to State
officials. In one, to Mr.. Charles E.
Fink, counsel to the Board of Control
and Review for Carroll county, Mr..
Straus holds that deposits in banks bear
ing interest and not subject to check
are assessable and may be taxed.
To State Comptroller Clagett Mr..
Straus sent an opinion, in which he held
that license for the practice of midwife

In answer to an inquiry from Mr.. Ha-
zelton A. Joyce. Jr., of Dorchester
County, member of the last House of

eel-pot is not fish pot. A bill affect
ing the use of fsh-pots was passed by
the last Legislature.
Mr.. Straus also delivered to State

Game And Fish Laws Of State
Being COdified.

The game and fish laws of Maryland
passed by the last legislature are being
codified by State Game Warden II. F.
Harmonson. Three State laws were
passed and they cover the entire State.
Two of them were for fish and the other
for ducking. Thirty-nine county laws
were also passed. In the law for Bal
timore County there will be surprise
to the gunners of that section to hear
that woodcock is left unprotected.
After number of weeks Mr.. Talbot
Denmead, secretary of the Game and
Fish Protective Association, assisted by
officials in Washington, has been sue
cessful in uniforming number of the
federal and state laws which heretofore
have caused considerable misunderstand-
ing among sportsmen of this State.
To date 81 arrests have been made for
the violation of the fish and game laws.
Sidney C. Jones, assistant State game
warden, under advice from his chief,
has Just returned from trip looking
into illegal violations of the fish laws by
dynamiting. According to reports that
are being brought to the Game War
den's office the prospects are bright for
good shooting this season. The reports
have been very encouraging and state
that game is plentiful in many Of the
counties.

Our Doctor General.

Major General Leonard Wood has be-
come commander of the American army
at the early age of forty-nine. AS the
age limit for active service in the field
is sixty-two, he will have thirteen years
in the coveted position of chief Of the
general staff. He assumed his new
duties the first week of July. his head
quarters for time being Governors
Island in New York Harbor. Later he
will be in Washington. As most of the
generals who have risen to the highest
position have been nearer the age limit
they have had comparatively S.
period in which to carry out their ideas.
General Wood will be fortunate in hav-
ing such an extended period to develop
any plans he may have. He is known
as a man of ideas, very progressive. and
anxious to make our small army as eff
iicient as possible. His interest also
extends to the organized militia of the
country. which under the recent legis-
lation of Congress has become closely
affiliated with the regular forces.
Whereas formerly most of the State
troops could not be used except for
home defense, they can now be ordered
for duty anywhere that danger threat
ems, the State legislatures passing new
regulations to that effect to conform to
the new national regulations. The

CaIOmeI Produces Big Crop
Of Fruit.

Lincoln. DEL. July 24.-That good
dose of calomel is as good for sick
tree as for sick man is the curious
doctrine worked out by William Morri-
son. station agent here, who claims
practical results to prove his assertion.
Morrison has large plum tree in front
Of his house which is supposed to be
about twenty-five years old. For years
the tree has borne but few plums, never
over one or two quarts. A faithful be-
lever in calomel for the ills of men.
Morrison determined to try his favorite
remedy on the tree, and last fall bored
a hole in the tree, and into this hole in
serted a spoonful of the medicine and
then plugged the hole up tight.
The result has been wonderful. for the
tree that hardly bore enough plums to
give it a name has several hundred
quarts of fruit now ripening on its limbs.
So pleased is Morrison with the effect
of his treatment that he will now be-
gin a regular course of medicine to re-
vive the aged and decaying tree. He
will also write careful account of the
action of the medicine on the tree and
publish it in several farm magazines.
Only one doubt assails Morrison. He
is wondering what the action of the
plums will be on the people who ca,
them.
