State Game Warden Bancroft is in
some difficulty through the fact that
under the operation of the law some
$11.oo0 has accumulated in the game
fund which he cannot spend, for the
reason that the act does not make a
specific appropriation of it. The
fund is larger than it was anticipated
would be derived from the fees
provided and some of it might be
expended to good advantage. For
instance, the law provides the warden

MORMON MISSIONARIES BAN1sHED,

Gable advices state that 21 Mormon
missionaries were expelled from Ger
many last week and the missionary
organization of the polygamous hier-
archy was compelled to move it's
European headquarters from Berlin.
The German government took the
position that the teachings of the
Mormon missionaries were menacinp
morality.
Subsequently lao leading members
of the cult were banished. No pro-
test was made. The Mormons obeyed
orders and moved on, having no de-
fense.
Investigation demonstrated that
Germany contains 5000 converts to
the Church of the Latter Day Saints
The world over it boasts of men,
bership of half a million, rs per
cent of them residing in the United
States and Canada, chiefly in the
inter-mountain region.
There are large colonies in Mexico,
where there is no attempt to conceal
the polygamous relations of the
followers of the prophet.
Germany is wiser than other christ
ian countries, recognizing the danger
OF the teachings of the Mormons. In
the United States the crime of poly
gamy is winked at in pursuance of a
political deal that is fully as disgrace
tul as the polygamous practices of the
protected saints.

TO SWEEP A ROOM.

To sweep a room is little-but to
get it ready for sweeping takes some
time.
Each upholstered piece of furni-
ture should be carefully brushed and
plain polished surfaces wiped with a
slightly damp cloth, then rubbed with
dry one and moved out of the room.
A paint brush is excellent to re-
move the dust that will lodge in
carved parts, or If in crevices a very
tiny brush or a wooden skewer can be
used. If there are mouldings at the
top Of the wall, use a long-handled
brush IL it is perfectly clean. If it
isn't, tie duster over it. Brush the
ceilings and walls in the same way.
Do not open the windows till the
actual sweeping is finished, or the
current of air will scatter the dirt
over the room again
Sprinkle salt Or tea leaves on the
floor and work from the corners to
the centre of the room. The stroke
should be long, the broom always on
the floor pushing the dirt before it,
not setting it in motion by swinging
1t around.-New York Herald.
