TRY IT
Yourself And Then See The
Condition
OF Game As To Abundance
Or Scarcity

This Is the season of the year when
the contradictory reports about game
is going the rounds. One person will
estimate there Is more game this year
than ever before. Another will de-
clare there is scarcity OF rabbits,
quail and other game. Here Is one
from the state game warden and the
reader my take It for what 1t is worth !.
Hunters will have paradise in Ohio
when the season for rabbits, quail and
rufiied grouse opens on Nov. Is. Re-
ports received by State Game Warden
Speaks indicate that there is an abun.
dance OF such game this year. In
southern Ohio. many counties are
over-run with rabbits, and quail are
unusually plentiful.
Warden Speaks thinks that ON the
opening day of the season there will
be as many as 10000 hunters in the
field throughout the state. He advises
that hunters take the precaution of
securing the consent of owners of land
to hunt on their premises and thus
save themselves from liability of pros.
ecution for trespassing.
Perhaps the best way to find out is
to try 1t for yourself. then you will
know the truth of falsity of the state
ments, 1t should be borne in mind
that game may be plentiful in one
county, one locality, or even one farm,
while the adjoining territory may be
short on rabbits or quail. About this

"When our little transaction is over, Mr..
Loane," he continued, the servant Schulz
macher will walk out Of this fiat and make
a point of speaking to the hall-porter before
he leaves the mansions He will then take
his departure, and make his way to a house
in Soho in which he rented room on the
ground-foor on the day before entering Mr..
Boscawen's service. There he will carefully
remove the dye from his hair and face, he
will burn his beard, and debate the air-cush-

and shirt-stud Mr. Boscawen the MASTER

may have come to be known as The Hamp-

denouncing aliens, and all the usual thrill

side; other and more immediate affairs will
overlap it; the police, disheartened, will
abandon the quest for Schumacher, and the
entire affair will be relegated to the limbo
of unsolved criminal mysteries.
Meanwhile Mr.. Loane," and Boscawen
smiled pensively as he spoke, II shall not
have permitted this unpleasant event to
interfere with my arrangements. l shall
have been married in peace, assured that
there will be no dirty, sneaking blackguard
to interfere with me, to threaten my happi-
ness or wreck my future. What do you
think of it all?'
The others answer was something be-
tween a roar and snarl, as he hurled him
self forward, swinging his dubbed cane.
Boscawen now proved the foresight that had
caused him to lean over the back OF the
armchair He had several times moved it,
idly as it seemed, backwards and forwards;
his intent had been to get the casters into
line SO that at the slightest thrust it would
roll forward lightly. He thrust it forward
now. as Loane sprang him. The edge of
the low seat caught Loane on the shins, and,
thrown off his balance, the fellow toppled
forward into it. Instantly the round, cold
muzzle of the revolver was pressed to his
temple

the cold voice of Boscawen.
"Wait! Wait!" screamed the other
''Wait! I'll make terms. You shall have

watching him, and waiting. eff you move

the other, fighting desperately in the deadly

What more can I do? What have you to

''The letters would remain. They might

"True," Boscawen admitted. "But l

'''Still, they will be very dangerous to you.

wildly. "I'm married man. I have three

Loane obeyed, what time Boscawen stood
over him, reading the fellows message to

the key.
He handed the letter to Boscawen who

Boscawen.

suspicion of grin lurking at the corners of
his mouth. rs
''Let him take this letter to that address

Smith received the letter from his mas

realized what was taking place. With a
strangled cry he sprang after Smith But
as he moved, Boscawen thrust out leg, and
the blackmailer pitched heavily forward
Boscawen knelt to pin him down. Smith
turned, and came to his masters aid with a
pair of handouts. The business done,( he
withdrew. They heard his voice outside,
and the boys answer. A moment later the
door of the flat closed with a slam ON the de-
parting messenger.
Loane, winded and pinioned, sat huddled
in the great chair again, and again Boscaw-
en- faced him, squarely, across the room.

other foreign countries.
Much has been printed from time to time re-
garding the machines that almost think in
vented by the mechanical experts of the United
States census bureau to aid Uncle Sam III the
big task of counting noses. However there is
one invention, newer than any of the others re-
garding which little has been said. This is the
automatic cardsorting machine, the function of
which is to sort mechanically the ninety odd
million cards representing the people of the
United States-for, under our present system of
card-indexing the country the census Office has
on file bit of pasteboard to represent every
man, and child in the republic. The
new sorter sorts cards at !. speed of from 300 to
325 per minute, sorting the cards into thirteen
different drawers. The machine is operated by
electricity and the sorting is done through the
medium of sensitive needles which seek out the
holes which have previously been punched in
each card to record biographical facts and dis
tribute the cards according to the location OF
these holes.
Uncle Sans greatest business institution, the
postoflce department, has lately fostered its
share of new inventions aside from the stamp

experimenting. The late novelties include an
electric canceling machine for canceling the
stamps ON letters and postmarking the envel-
opes; trolley system for handling mail In city
postofices and belt conveyor system for the
same purpose. Two clerks in the postofdce de-
partment lately invented a machine that cuts
down work 20 per cent. in the money order

faculty in automatically printing the money or

zens, an operator of scientific laboratories
manufacturer and business corporation. Now
with Uncle Sam in the actual conduct Of arts
and industries on a greater scale, in some In
stances, than they are being carried on by any
private corporation, it has become imperative
from the hard, practical business standpoint
that the government shall have the benefit of
the highest possible attachments in time and
labor-saving equipment.
In the effort to keep abreast of or little
ahead of the worlds march of progress, the
federal establishment has continually carried
tests and experiment with view to dis
closing new capabilities in instruments and ap-
paratus of kind or another that rank as
commercial products and as such may be
bought in the open market. But a large share
of what has been accomplished these past few
years has been due to new inventions evolved
by government officials And it is pleasing to
note that there is an increasing disposition on
part of the men on Uncle Sans payroll to
regard as federal property the inventions from
which they might otherwise reap a fortune.
There have, from time to time, been charges
and rumors putting in question the ethics and
honesty of men who derived private wealth
from inventions alleged to have been worked
out in government time and with the aid of
facilities offered by governmental position.
growing more rare and to ccunterbalance the
isolated instances we have examples such as
recently afforded by Major Squier, assistant
chief signal officer of the United States army,
when he dedicated to the free use Of the
American people the patents covering his new
system of mutiplex telephony.
Some of the most spectacular of Uncle Sans
current scientific triumphs are being worked
out by the aid of the most powerful magnet In
the world, which has recently been installed at
cost of $1,000 at the United States bureau OF
standards. This magnet is in effect an en-
larged edition of the familiar toy from which
small boys derive so much enjoyment and 1t
may be whispered that the government sclen-
lists are getting proportionate amount OF ex-
element from the almost miraculous powers
of this largest of all magnets. Primarily the
new magnet is employed by the government
experts for optical work of the most highly
technical character pushing back OF the
