How bseR cave N VERMONT
state Stocked by small Herd Releas'
In 1878

The annual open season for deer
in Vermont is OF more than passing
interest TO Rutland people for the rea
son that residents of this city were
primarily responsible for the pres
ence of these animals in the state
at the present time.
For many years previous to 1878
the Vermont deer, which furnished
the early settlers with much of their
meat and not small portion of their
clothing, had become practically ex-
tinct In the Green mountains. Occa.
sionally a specimen would be report.
ed in the wild section of Essex coun-
ty near the Canadian border, but in
the more thickly settled portions the
majority of persons had never seen
deer outside OF a park or menag-
erie. In 1878 an organization OF res
idents in this section composed OF
Gen. w. Y. w Ripley, Martin G.
Evarts, DR.. Middleton Goldsmith, Jas.
c. Dunn, Wallace c. Clement, p. w.
Clement, Waldo p. Clement, Edward
II. Ripley, Frederick Chaffee, Samuel
f. Bnrnham, H. w. Cheney, DR.. A.
Kilburn, Levi G. Kingsley, Walter c.
Landon, Evelyn Pierpont, Henry A.
Sawyer, A. F. Davis and Redfeld
Proctor raised fund for the purpose
of purchasing deer with which to
start a wild herd. They first bought
10 of the animals from the keepers
of the N. Y. state prison at Dame
mora and on April 10 released the.
animals in Rutland and Bennington
counties. On the 5th of the follow
ing month they released seven more.
The legislature enacted laws pro-
tecting the animals against hunters
at all times under a penalty of fine
of 500 and they began to thrive and
multiply all over the state. II re-
quired considerable argument to in
duce the lawmakers to establish an
open season but this was finally done
and the first legal deer shooting in
Vermont by the present generation
was in 1896. There was an open sea
son that year of month but the next
year it was reduced to the last ten
| days in October and later to one
week The present season is for ten
| days.
During the first open season 1t was
lawful to shoot bucks with horns
three inches in length and does we're
protected at all times In 1896 ac-
cording to reports received by the
state fish and game department 1888
bucks were killed. During the next
two years, with the shortened season

year were secured by the hunters

The Divorce Question

The proposition of amending the divorce laws of the state OF Ne
vada is now before the Legislature
The question seems o hinge N making legal separations easy or
difficult. 1t looks to a casual observer very much as ii a battle be
tween the lawyers was on The lawyers who are getting rich MT of
the present divorce law believe that the law should not be disturbed
and the barristers who ar not getting, what they possibly consider
their share Of the business, take a different view.
There is also what people are pleased to call the moral side of the
question. They argue that easy avenues to divorce have many moral
1t is hard to understand upon what hypothesis they base these
conclusions. There "a be II o more distressing and dreadful condition
for a woman than to be legally bound to a man she loaths and dis
pses who has ceased to care Tor her or be kind to her and VINO
makes her very existance miserable. 1t would seem that any law
which accelerates her separation from such an undesirable partner is
based upon moral precepts and the good OF society.
Posterity should also be regarded as having some rights and to
compel ill mated couples to live together simply in most cases, means
the propagation OF criminals and persons of feble mind and depraved
dispositions.
In Eases OF this description t would be better to grant a separa-
ton with a thirty days residence in the state than n year.
buys a mine that has been misrepresentcd he "a appeal to the
courts for redress and if he has a defective horse palmed off o n him
with misrepresentation as to his condition, the courts afford him a
remedy in the shape OF damages
While bad bargains are recuhew in the commercial world why
should not a person who has married under a misrepresentation, or who
has been seriously imposed upon in the matrimonial transaction have
the same means OF redress as the person who purchased a sailed
nine or invests in a wind broken horse.
But in the matrimonial market the rule of "caveat emptor" seems
to apply and legal redress is less easy of attainment.
Now a MAJ may be too shrcwd as a business man to be fooled
with a sailed mine or an unsound horse and this same individual,
noted among his fellows a $ more sophisticated than any OF his
neghbors, may rush off and select a partner for life that will prove
compishments and bankrupt in every domestic virtue.
Again a a who don't pass among his kind as overstocked with
common SENSE may stumble ont a matrimonial prize package which
other lei have passed by and become the envy of all his
neghbors.
The proposition settles down to this that II mn that ever lived is
smart enough not to be taken in and done to a rich golden brown by
much a mans good sense as his good luck, if he draws a prize in the
matrimonial lottery.
A woman is just IS apt to make a mistake as a man and obviously
the greater sufferer and the law OF humanity should have its weight
with the law of the land. to make such mistakes easy of rectihcation.
