THE GAME LAW DISCUSSION

A number of years ago there came
to this country from Ireland boy
named Pat Other boys named Pat
have come to America from Ireland,
but it is of this particular Pat that
the Star would speak.
Pat like all Irish boys, was bright.
and like many OF them, was fresh
but they soon get over it. He made
number of friends among American
boys. and, of course. they were very
active and entirely unseIfish in show
ing him the ropes in the land OF the
free
One beautiful starlit night in No
vember bunch of these same boys
took Pat a ,possum hunting. As Is
known TO us all, who are acquainted
with 1T, the 'possum is a p1acab1e bird
and easy TO get along with. but he Is
somewhat surprising to strangers
Before the evening had far adyanc-
ed, the dogs freed 'possum up tall
persimmon. The dogs barked, sticks
and chunks were thrown, but the pos
sum, unlike Davy crockett's coon, re-
fused to come down.
1t isn't etiquette to cut down per-
sfmmon tree As is well known to
boys in particular and colored folks
as long as it will bear 'possums and
other delicious fruit. This tree was
too big to cut down anyhow. A boy
out after supper is always looking fol
fun. not work
So, after some discussion, it was de-
cided to send Pat up the tree after the
,possum. Pat was willing. He wa:
somewhat shy on possum lore, but h
had climbed many5a bigger tree in Ire
land. Anybody that can pick a peaci
or a persimmon off a limb can peck {
'possum-if he knows how to taxi
sold.
The other boys boosted Pat to tn
bottom branch, from which he SWUNG
nimbly up into the tree. He soon dis
appeared from the dim radius of tn
torches as he climbed higher and high
er. In about two minutes his scramb
lings among the limbs ceased, and the
the boys heard him groan.
Have you caught him. Pate" the
voiced up thru the gloom.
'Yis,' came down Pats voice /
plaintive accents, "and 1 wish som
of you would come up and help m
turn the ugly haste loose!'
Its the Stars opinion that Mr. Car

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane Of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucou membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
o throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, rs and SOC a box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt Of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co., Boston, Masa

OlSFIGURED WITH CRUSTS

Some time ago l was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist. 1t began with scales on my
body, l suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. l was
greatly dlsfigured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as If they had
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. l suffered
untold agony and pain. l tried two
doctors who said l had eczema in its
fullest stage, and that 1t could not
be cured. l then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, l tried a set
Of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all

IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE MAN
Diversified Farming Is Greater and
More Urgent Proposition Than
EVer Before in History.

The entertaining stories that are
published from day to day about per-
sons who have accomplished aston
lshing things by moving to some 9th
er part of the country do not al
ways serve a good purpose,
1t depends mainly on the mar him
self whether he Is going to prosper
anywhere or not, The many alluring
things that are published to attract
farmers are designed first of all to sell
the land. They are not Issued from
philanthropic motives, and the indi-
vidual will always find that success
depends on his own efforts and intel
ligence, no matter what his environ
ments may be.
1t is interesting to learn of old
friends who have made good" in a
new locality and 1t is pleasant to think
Of the good times we might have in
some other climate or on some other
kind Of farm, but we must not forget
that the lure of the big farm, the fruit
ranch, the mild winters and other far
away things have been fatal to scores
where it has drawn one to a%ftluence.
When a man is east he Is apt to
think that the west offers him golden
opportunities. When he is west he
sees the advantages of the eastern
markets and transportation. II he
has been drawn south he may dis
cover that the warm climate takes the
tuck out of him, while in the farm
north 1t may turn out to be too cold
for a comfortable living. The truth
is that all sections Of this republic are
good and all have special advantages.
In the last year the price Of produce
has taken a great jump and the little
farm idea has on this account been
especially boosted. This straightway
shows what advantages the eastern
farmer has in being surrounded by the
great markets and the numerous rail-
way lines. The thousands of city men
who feel the need Of a country home
can see many advantages In the east.
At the same time the newer sections
offer possibilities to young and am
bilious farmers that the old localities
do not seem to contain. This article
is not to make invidious comparisons
bnt simply to point out that reasonable
energy and fair intelligence count for
more than the mere matter of loca-
ton.
A new era has been reached in
farming. There is a prosperity
which will enhance the wealth of the
rural property owners and add to the
dignity of the profession. 1t is more
than ever a question of brains, how.
ever. Diversified farming is a greater
and more urgent proposition today
than ever before. BY this system alone
can the agriculturtst strike the market
right and put his affairs on a business
basis. We are to see the business side
of farming from this on and those
who have the talent to swing them
selves into line with new conditions
will be heard from no matter where
they live.

NOT A "FULL-LENGTH" PAPA
Child Wanted Original Of Portrait That
Had Been Made 50 Familiar
to Her.

An amusing incident is related OF
a young service matron who had re-
linquished her husband fer two years
and who, having before his departure
insisted on a good photograph, applied
herself assiduOusly to the upbringing
of her t~woyear-old baby with a view
to the child's familiarity with her dis
tinguished father. Each day she would
call the baby girl to her and, kneeling
beside her, would hold up the photo
graph, pointing out each feature to
the child.
One day the officer came home, and
the baby girl, then four years old,
was summoned. Come. DEAR" said
the mother in glee, papa has come
home at last!" The child surveyed
the officer in perplexity and finally
shook her head.

her mother. We'll" replied the child,

Rifle for Under Water Use.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife or, falling that, on a
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention of Captain Grobl,
a German diving instructor, who has
constructed a rife which can be fired
under water, and is designed for the
better arming of the diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that 1t
fires, not bullets, but water, which is
propelled with such farce that 1t has
an extraordinary power Of penetration.
Indeed, the inventor himself has
pierced armor plate of medium thick
ness with the water Jet from his
weapon. The rife has a stout barrel
and is loaded with a cartridge casSd
in India rubber.
