in Bayfield, county has just be-
gun there has been two accidents
already this season which have
resulted fatally. Both accidents
were due to careless handling OF
weapons, a thing that should be
avoided as much as possible by
those going into the woods. Too
much care cannot be taken by
those going into the woods to
save themselves and others from
accidents and the two above cases
should be a warning to others.

Many examples Of Chinese filial piety
strike the occidental reader as ridicu-
ious. There is the famous story Of
Lao Laitsu, which Mr.. r. r. Johnston
repeats in his Lion and Dragon In
Northern China" Laos parents lived
% such extreme old age that he was
himself toothless old man while
hey were both still alive. "Conceiv
ing 1t his duty to divert their atten
ION from their weight of years and
approaching end, he dressed himself
- in the clothes OF q child and played
':out IN his parents presence witt
Nv object Of making them think the}
ERE still a young married couple con
e,nplating the innocent gambols OF
heir infant son."
4 similar case Is that Of Wang P'ou.
whose mother had an unconquerable
tread Of thunder and lightning. When
he died she was buried in q mountain
ores, and thereafter, when a violent
thunderstorm occurred, Wang POT,
aec,llesS of the wind and rain, would
aurry to her grave and throw himself
% his knees. II am here to protect
you. dear mother" he would say.
