GAME LAW
DISPLEASES
Lovers Of Rabbits and Quail
hiss Their Usual Game
FeaStS
MAY ATTACK LAW In
NEXT LEGISLATURE

There is so much dissatisfaction
over the present game laws that
strong pressure will likely be brought
to bear on the next Legislature to re-
peal the statute.
One section of the law provides
that gunner may kill six rabbits a
day, and another, sets forth he must
not have more than six in his pos
session. The gunner hunts for three
days and kills what the law permits,
six rabbits a day. Yet he must not
be caught by the game warden or a
constable with the eighteen rabbits in
his possession. Six is all he is al
lowed to take home. 1t is not set
forth what he may do with the other
twelve.
Another to require gunners to pay
a license which the Governor vetoed
contained a section which gave the
dealers the privilege of selling game
by paying a license. AS a result
dealers are afraid to engage in the
business, and there is not a rabbit ol
quail on the market for public sale fol-
Thanksgiving season.
The only way one can get a dinner
of rabbit or quail is to go to some
restaurant. The law gives a restau
rant the right to buy game but th'
provision is made that the proprietor
must dispose of it cooked. The trou
BILE with this, is that hundreds whit
enjoy feast of rabbit and quail can
afford to pay restaurant price TO
it. While a restaurant window can b
seen full of game, none can be seer

HAULS 81 TONS
WITHOUT SKIP

A Another Of the thirty-two ton
girders for the dupont Hotel was
moved from the p, B. and w. Rail-
road freight yards to the DUPONT
building, this morning. by Comfy
Brothers. Thirty-five horses were
hitched TO the dray on which the
girder was loaded. Neal Comfy stood
upon the top Of the massive girder
like a boy on the burning deck, and
directed the operations Of the grand
cavalcade. Sheriff James Logue
furnished many horses to assist Mr..
Comfy in the big job. and the Sheriff
went along to see that none Of the
horses was injured.
II was a spectacle to see thirty-five
straining and tugging horses dragging
the thirty-two ton mass of steel over
the hill from King to Market street
on Fourth At a shout from a driver
standing in front of Mr.. Comfy, every
one of the horses leaped forward. like
a massive machine, and without a
skip or a halt they pulled the girder
from King to Market street. There
was a hostler for every four horses
I'm the long line. Most of the horses
pulled four abreast, but they were
hitched I'm two separate lines. The
girder was taken up Market street
from Fourth. In places the great
weight tore away the street paving
stones, but it had no effect on the
asphalt or bitulithic paving on Mar
ket street. At Fifth and Church
streets a lamp post was knocked
down.
Another girder was delivered at one
o'clock this afternoon by Comfy
Brothers. as a great crowd looked on
Flags were placed on the horses as
they majestically swept up Market
street.

DR.. SChmuCker Tells Teachers
Of Honey Gatherer That
Was Too Jealous

FROM PAST EXPERIENCES

Dr. S. c. Schmucker delighted the
New Castle County Teachers As
sociation this morning with a witty
botanical lecture, that showed how
fascinating and far from dry such a
subject can be made. both on the lec-
ture platform and in the schools
room.
DR.. Schmucker drew a lesson for
human beings from bee whom he
watched This bee lighted on the
front Of a nasturtium and found his
tongue too short to reach the honey.
Then he climbed over to the back
of the flower, bit a hole, and got out
the honey. 1t looked clever, the
doctor said, but when the bee had
gone through the same process nine
teen times. DR.. Schmucker concluded
he showed as little sense as some
human beings, who learned nothing
from past experiences.
