DEER SEASON OPEN
FROM NOV. Il TO 90
GAME PLENTIFUL AND ESTIMATE
MADE THAT 6.OOO ANIMALS
WILL BE SLAUGHTERED.
VENlS0N MUST NOT BE SOLD
Ne" Law Also Prescribes That But
One Animal Can Be Killed by Each
Hunter-Extra Force of Deputy
Game Wardens to Enforce Law.

Madison---The open season for
hunting deer in Wisconsin will begin
at sunrise On Nov. II and close at
sunset on Nov. 80. Within that pc
Rod 1t is expected that at least 5000
deer will be killed State Game War
den John A. Sholts says that deer are
plentiful in the state, and that, if
weather conditions are favorable
more than 5000 deer will be killed
during the season. He estimates that
there are about 10000 deer in the
state. Hunting licenses to the num-
Der Of $4,000 have been issued since
September /.
State Game Warden Sholts has put
about fifteen extra deputy wardens
on his force for the deer season. His
regular force consists of sixty depu-
ties.
Deer may be killed in all but thfr-
ty-eight of the seventy-one counties
OF the state. The last legislature
added the county of Door to the list
in which deer may be taken. In Mil
Waukee county the hunting of deer is
prohibited, but it is not likely that
there are any wild deer in that coun-
~. In Dane county, however, which
comes under the ban, there are wild
deer, especially in the western part
of the county. Other counties in
which the taking of deer is prohib-
tied are Grant, Lafayette, Green,
Rock, Walworth, Kenosha, Racine,
Richland, Sank, Columbia, Dodge,
Waukesha, Jefferson, Iowa, Craw-
ford, Buffalo, Washington, Ozaukee,
Sheboygan, Fond du Lac, Green,
Monroe, La Crosse, Waushara, Win
nebago, Calumet, Manitowoc, Outa-
game, Brown, Kewaunee, Portage,
and Waupaca.
1t is unlawful to take deer at night,
with dogs, in the water or on the
ice of any stream or lake, by the use
Of pits, traps or snares or any device
whatever. 1t is unlawful to place
salt on any trail or spot in order to
induce deer to stop and be shot.
1t is unlawful for a person to Kill
or have in his possession more than
one deer during the season.
1t is unlawful for a person to buy,
sell or offer for sale any deer or part
of the carcass of a deer at any time
Hunters must hereafter kill their
deer themselves instead of buying
them from local hunters.

Cure That EaiIed

The story recently published In a
southern newspaper, to the effect that
an ignorant negress had given her
little girl a mixture OF dogs blood
and powdered bone to cure her OF a
fever, recalls an Indian prescription
contained in an old volume entitled
Primitive Superstitions."
An Indian had been desperately
hurt in a fight with a grizzly bear,
and the medicine man prescribed a
mixture of rattlesnakes' heads, worn
out moccasins and chewing tobacco,
seasoned with pepper and bears
grease, of which the patient was to
drink a pint every half hour. HE
was brave man." says the story,
''but he died with the utmost expedi-
ton" The members of the tribe
agreed that the remedy was faultless,
and that death was due to the fact
that the medicine man had failed to
order that it should be administered
to the accompaniment of dance and
a yell.

Snuq Bed for a Queen.

Instances of something strangely
like humor sometimes creep into the
British periodicals, in spite of every
thing. Among the stories told by the
London papers Of the late DR.. Robin
son Duckworth. canon Of Wegtmin-
ster, is one of a somewhat uncourtier-
ly remark which he made once when
showing Queen Victoria over West
minister abbey. When they came to
the spot where kings and queens lie,
Queen Victoria shivered a little and
said: II should not care to be buried
here-it seems so cold and damp"
Madam" replied Duckworth, 81 as
sure you it is perfectly dry. You
would be quite nice and snug"
1t strikes mere American that the
queens part Of this interview shows
more humor than the reverend can
on's. But Victoria's sense Of bumor
was Teutonic.

HAS A STEADY GRAFT
SMALL SOY TOOK PICTURE OF
SISTER IN WORK RIG.
Now She Has TO Pay Him IS Cents
for a Print Each Time Her Best
Beau Is to Call, and
Youth Reloi-es.

Perhaps the orneriest, meanest
small boy extant lives in New York.
/ This boys sister, who is of marriage
able age, gave him a cheap camera for
/ his birthday recently. The boy used
his camera for legitimate purposes for
a few days. but that way of using the
machine finally palled upon him and
/ he thought up a scheme.
/ He waited until his sister got her
/ self rugged out for her share of the
work IN the weekly housekeeping.
Then, unbeknownst to her, he took
fulllength snapshot of her Just as
she was. The young woman is pretty
and decidedly winsome looking, but
! this negative, taken of her by her
| small brother, shows her standing
with 8 broom in her hand, clad in a
! loose, voluminous, ornate calico wrap
per, with a towel tied around her
| giving her the appearance of a beetle.
The boy developed the negative and
made a print of it. When he showed
it to his sister she thought it was
rather funny, not suspecting the
edge" which the negative gave the
small boy over her.
He's a-comin' tonight, amt hep
said the small boy after showing his
sister the print
He? Who? Mind your owR bust
ness, kid" said the sister after the
! manner of sisters thus addressed by
younger brothers in such connections.

the small boy. How much do you
give me for the picture of your"
! Then she saw the connection.
why, you little incorrigible!" she
said, what do you"
Gimme a quarter and 1 won't show
1t to him." said the boy in business
like tone.
And he stood pat. Expostulations
and pleadings didn't go. He held out
/ for his terms, whic-I were % cents,
payable in advance, no more. no less.
She promptly tore it up and put it
in the fire. But the boy still had the
negative hidden away, and on the very
next occasion when his sisters young
man was due to call in the evening he
| sprang another print from the mega
tive upon her. He got another quar-
ter for the surrender of this print, too.
! He knows a good thing when he
has got it, does this extraordinarily
mean, small boy, and he has been
flashing one Of the prints from the
negative upon his sister every night
upon whcih her maybe youth is due
for a visit She has offered him 81
for the negative. but the boy prefers
to draw interest instead of sacrificing
his principal, and he retains posses
sion of the negative up to the hour
of going to press.

The Power of Efna.

The eruption of Mount Etna in
March has led to a study of the oper-
atoms of the great Sicilian volcano
which presents an imposing picture
of it's gigantic power. When the
strain produced by the accommodating
lava in the interior becomes too great
to be borne, the mountain often splits

rock pours out and flows for miles

the southern slope Of the mountain
was split, and the immense assure has
served as an outlet for the lava dur

curious fact IS that, owing to the grad
