FIND BOTH GUILTY. Berlin Court Punished Both Com. plainant and Defendant.

Berlin, Dec. 22-German judges have way of pronouncing both the accused and the complainant guilty. Such a paradoxical verdict has just been rendered in one of the Berlin courts in which a gay old lothario was declared guilty of insulting a woman and sent to prison for three months, and the woman fined S125. Otto Kamphenkel, aged 63, attended a din- ner at the home of Wilhelm Jacobi After drinking a large quantity of wine Kamphenkel, a we'll known race stable owner, became unduly familiar with the governess in the Jacobi fam fly, French woman, aged 3S. He received a sharp slap in return for his attentions. This so infuriated the old fellow that he knocked the gov erness down four stairs.
 The court, by some strange mental process decided the woman's conduct also was reprehensible in resenting the old fellows familiarity so violent ly, and decided that months i'm prisonment for Kamphenkel and 500 marks fine. for the governess would satisfy justice.

With the first bulletin, which has just been issued by the American Game Protective and Propagation As sociation of Ill Broadway, New York, comes the announcement that it has been decided to put out similar pamph- lets at frequent intervals These will deal with all the activities of the as- sociation, telling what has been ac- complished by its special agents in the wax of bringing to justice viola tors ofathe game laws; what has been done for better legislation in the diff ferent States: how many members have been enrolled; and the condition of the finances.
 It is intended that these bulletins shall serve as reports to members and all those who are interested in the problem of saving our wild life from destruction, and increasing it through propagation En captivity for the pur- pose Of stocking wild covers.
 The first booklet speaks of the con- ditions out of which the association grew, and sets forth the general pol flatly in favori of: federal Legislation to protect migratory Wild fowl; mod ern forestry methods and the es' ab- lishment of game refuges; stocking the waters with game and food fish and the enforcement of laws designed to protect them; protective laws and laws encouraging game propagation along lines which shall be for the ben eft of all sportsmen, the poor as well as the rich; hunters license and bag limit laws; absolute protection for in- sectiverous girds; prohibition of the sale of native wild game; and all

 Gun Play in Danbury
 Three pistol shots were fired during an altercation between Joseph Strock and Frank Battista in Danbury, Mon day evening and while Joseph Strock is confined to his home as the result of injuries that he received in the fight Battista. who is alleged to have fired the shots, is supposed to have fled from the city. Strock was so dazed by the suddenness of Battista's attack that he can describe the affair only meagrely and there seems to be some doubt whether bu lets were fired, or simply blank cartridges. Strock has a swelling over one hip that resem- bles more an injury caused by blank cartridge than one caused by bull let A forefnger on his left hand is also bruised and swollen Strock and Battista are both employed as lator- CTS and it was while they were work ing about a week ago that the argu- ment arose which is supposed to have caused the shooting. Strock says that Battista accused him of endeavoring to have him discharged. Strock em- phatica'ly denied any such attempt. to Streck, Battista came upon him suddenly Monday night and after a word or two opened fire with a small calibre revolver.

THE FOOL THAT : DROPS THE MATCH

It has been said, that anywhere, The biggest fool afloat, Is he who makes a rocking-chair Of some one else's boat: But equal with him in the race, The eggs of woe~to hatch, Is, in unknown or known disgrace, The fool that drops the match. What is't to him, if, in his haste A fragrant weed to try, The folds of woman's pride and taste Hang dangerously nigh? What if a precious life recede With flame-enhanced despatch? He did not do the shameful; He only dropped match. What is't to him, if stores of wealth In flame ms.y disappear, Or friends that walked in joy and
 health,
 May nevermore come near? What if explosions upward spring, A hundred lives to snatch? He didn't do much of anything: , He only dropped a match. Incendiary-guilty one
 GAS yet not doing time) You'll learn the lesson, ere you're
 done,
 That carelessness is crime But when your future home you view, And lift it's red-hot latch, No matter then how often you May drop the lighted match!

measures calculated to preserve, pro- tect or increase the game suppy.
 To quote from the book: "This country stands today at the parting of the ways in the matter of field sports. It faces today the question whether free shooting shall continue or whether the European system of preserves and posted lands is to be- come universal" Needless to say the association believes in free shooting for all and is working along the only lines which will make this possible for any length of time.
 In another place the book says: ''The association desires the member ship, contributions and support of all sportsmen and of all State and local organizations interested in game pro- lection. It has no rivalry with exist ing organizations and aims solely to further the common cause, and for this purpose it will cooperate with other associations in support of worthy objects. In no other way can results be accomplished than by effective or ganization''

CACTUS THORNS AS NEEDLES. Better Than Steel for Use on Phono-
 graphs-Plentiful in Arizona.

Commenting upon the fertility of Arizona Garter it has been irrigated, j pr. Chos. G. Percival, who is with the Abbot Detroit Bulldog" on it's 100, 00O mile tour, tells the following:
 Arizona is rich, but soon will be more wealthy, for it is only a Ques- tion of time when they will be ship ping to the leading photograph com panies of the East, carloads of cactus thorns, for use as photograph neei- les. These cactus needles are better than those made of metal, as they wear much longer. besides giving a much more pleasing and softer sound."
 According to Dr. Percival, this only goes to prove that every sort of vege- table and animal growth existing has been capitalized up to date, with the exception of the hook-worm, and this cannot be done until the state legis- lature of Texas passes an act author izing the same.

ROW OVER RELIGION.

Vienna, Dec. 22.-Religion is the cause of row in the Austria-Hun- garian army, which may result in the retirement from the army of Arch duke Franz Salvador, /son-in-law of Emperor Franz Joseph. The newly appointed "Field-Bishop'' for the army, M. Bjelik, sent a circular let ter to the various corps commanders urging them to participate more free .ly in spiritual exercises. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne, was painfuiIy surprised. He was keenly displeased over the action of the Bishop who had exceeded his au- thorty and had not asked permission of the Archduke, as Commander-in- chief. Investigation developed tha: the Bishop had asked Archduke Franz Salvador, who had recommended such action The feeling between the fu- ture Emperor and Franz Salvador, is
 luch that the latter, it is said, will retire from active service.

that Washingtonians have, in spite of this
fact. had the first opportunity OF seeing

end in other cities Mr.. Zuebin set forth
graphically. pointing out where Wash
ington failed as we'll as excelled. One
thing he made very clear, that in Wash

ward was offered than almost anywhere
else. In different parts of the country
Mr. Zueblin has held what are termed

and has the power not only Of holding
attention, but arousing enthusiasm. 1t
