VIOLATING GAME Law.

It is said that for some time past dogs
have been observed in various parts OF
Milford Neck running foxes. Whether
the dogs are being turned out for this
purpose by their owners is not definitely
known, but it is certain that those who
own fox dogs should see to it that they
are not allowed to run the fox at this
season of the year, as the open season
for fox is from October 1st until April
30th. Should this practice continue the
Game Warden will doubtless investigate
the matter.

SEES WORLD NEAR ITS END
Reverend Gentleman Has Faith in the
Famous Vision of Nebu-
chadnez:ar

Before a great audience in Phila-
delphia, the Rev. DR.. G. l. Schofield
of New York announced that the end
OF the world is at hand. and at any
time we might expect that interesting
event. He predicted the destruction
of the planets in a mighty catastro-
phe, and, horrible to relate. the crash
might come in the lifetime of q ma
jority of his hearers.
Upon looking to see on what fact
he built this gloomy apprehension,
we note 1T is the vision of Nebuchad-
nezzar. as interpreted by the prophet
Daniel This prophecy involves the
Interpretation of many historical
events. which has been done a good
many times. but in every case the uni
verse survived. So we expect il will
be so again. We never did have much
faith In old Nebuchadnezzar, anyhow,
and If the good Lord ever communi-
Gated the information OF when and
how the universe would be DESTROYED.
he would have communicated II to
st. Paul or st. Luke or some hero OF
the faith
We shall expect that the planets
will continue to roll in their respec-
tive orbits. and this dear old earth
will maintain its beautiful destiny
long after mankind has disappeared
from its arid and indurated sphere.
and gone off to that happy region
where the spirit forever dwells.-Ohio
