Protecting Wild Animals.

An important amendment to the
game laws which goes into effect this
year is that prohibiting the sale OF
game at any time. While this will
have no effect on the average hunter,
1t will put an end to a practice which
has had much to do with decreasing
the supply of wild animals and birds
in this state. The slaughter Of game
in order to supply the markets has
in the past done much 10 aid in the
extinction of our wild animals and
birds, and the elimination. of this type
Of hunter will be most beneficial.

protectors have obtained a large num-

Of the law. but are making every eff

LADY TATT0N SYKES HAD
EXTRAORDINARY CAREER.
EngIishwoman's Life Was Marked by
Many Sensational Episodes.

Lady Tatton Sykes. who died in Lon
don recently ut the age of ffty-eight
years. once was the most prominent
woman in England She possessed
amazing energy and versatility.
Her marriage at eighteen to Sir Tat
ton Sykes. a great Yorkshire magnate
and millionaire twenty-five years her
senior. caused profound sensation
She turned her hand TO everything.
At one time she entertained elite so
ciety; at another she nursed the wound;
ed soldiers in South Africa. wrote
books and edited newspapers. and at
yet another time her gambling losses
caused tremendous sensation.
In 1898 she and her husband were
sued by money lender for $4,000 on
bills purporting TO be signed by both.
The money had been borrowed by her
TO pay gambling debts. and Sir Tatton
proved that his signature was forged.
Several other similar cases revealed
that the total amount involved was
more than $4,000. She was indicted
for forgery. but as a husband is de-
barred from giving evidence against
his wife in a felony case she was dis
charged.
Afterward she wrote notices OF plays
for society newspapers. getting into
bitter controversy with the late Mrs.
Pearl CraIgie. who was sorely hurt
because Lady Tatton declared that her
plays showed she was unacqualnted
with the usages of high society.
She was the daughter of the Right
Hon. George Augustus CavendishBen-
timex. a noted parliamentary character.
Her son. Colonel Mark Sykes. is one OF
the ablest of the younger members Of
the Tory party
Sir Tatton survives her.
