GAME Law AND PROTECTION

The State gives tie counties est
of the Blue Bidge two months to
hunt most of the game found there
in. AS a further protection the law
then makesi it optional with thecoun-
ties to shorten the season wien It
is the wish of its citizens or Board
of Supervisors to protect the game.
THIS law is a good one when game
is getting scarce, but when game
is reasonably plentiful it SHOULD
not be carried to extremes by cut
ting season down to only a few days
or cutting it out entirely, denying
many citizens the pleasure of farm
life. In Augusta county they al
low an open season of As days
to hunt. The farmer who finds that
game is scarce on his pla"e have a
right to post his land. This looks
like the most reasonable and logical
method to adopt.
We should have an open season
of one month since the law prohib-
it's the sale of game and be able
always to have plenty of game too.
Virginia winters have done far
more to deplete the game than
hunting, yet no provision is made.
Money that is derived from hunt
ing license; fines, etc. should be ap-
piled in caring for and restocking
game. Many states are doing this
much; consequently game thriv
and increases much faster.
Following extreme hard winters
it might be we'll to prohibit hunting
game for q season or two, but bet
ter way is to look after the game by
putting out feed. When the snow
lies on the ground for few days
get sheaf of buckwheat and sus
pend it just above the snow, where
the birds will likely find it. You
will be surprised in few years at
the increase. Let the Board allow
these people something for their
trouble. We can always have plen-
ty of game and hunting too if we
give the right kind of protection
thus make rural life more pleasant.

SKII-LFUL WITH THE ARROW
Amazon Indians, Using Poisoned
Weapons, Are by No Means a Foe
to BE Despised.

The uncanny skill of the Amazon IN
dams with poisoned arrows won the
awed admiration Of Mr. Algot Lange,
who was cured Of jungle-fever by Man
geromas after his comrades had SIC
cumbed to beriberi and poisonous
swamp snakes. In his book, "In the
Amazon Jungle" Mr.. LANCE describes
a hunting trip that he made with two
members Of the tribe:
eve had scarcely gone g mile, when
we discovered on the opposite bank Of
the creek, about one hundred and fifty
yards away, wild hog roofing for
food. We. were under cover of the
brush, but the hog was in full view. Al
most simultaneously my companions
fitted arrows to their bowstrings. In
stead Of shooting pointblank and
manipulating the bows with their
hands and arms, they placed their
great toes on the lower end of the bow
strings, and with their left arms gave
the proper tension and inclination to
the bows, which were eight feet long.
With whir the poisoned arrows shot
forth, sailed gracefully through the
air, described hyperbola, and plunged
into the animals neck, little back
from the base of the brain.
"The hog dropped in his tracks, and
l doubt Il he could have lived even if
the arrows had not been poisoned. We
slung the body over heavy pole and
carried it to the maloca.
"All the way the hunters disputed
over the ownership of the hog, and
from time to time they put the carcass
on the ground to gesticulate and argue.
When they appealed to me, I declared
that the arrows had sped so rapidly
that I could not tell which had found
its mark first.
"ks we neared the house, the chief
sent out a messenger to learn the
cause OF the alteration. The ennis
sary returned to the chief and the dis
putants became quiet. The messenger
soon came back, and said that the
great chief would judge the case, and
ordered the men to enter the maloca-
Pi;o chief motioDed me to a seat on
the ground beside his hammock. The
men told their story, Icw and then
looking to me fer an affirmative ned Of
the head. The chief listened to the
argument for some time without ut.
tering q syllable, and regarded the
crowd with a steady, gnDlinking ex-
preston. Then he said: The hog is
mine. Coz
Strange as it may seem, there was
no grumbling at this extraordinary
decision. "-Youths Companion.

Onen-Air. Sleeping.

There is fad just now among Eng
lish society persons for sleeping in the
open air. A devotee of this new "cure"
is Lady Byron, who sleeps in corner
of her picturesque garden, which slopes
up to Hampstead Heath.

has spread all over the British Isles,
from shooting boxes in Scotland to
fishing huts In Ireland, Is we'll known
Scottish hostess, who one day, as an
experiment, had twelve beds placed for
guests to occupy, If they liked, in DIFF
ferent parts of her spacious garden.
Endless amusement was caused By ono
elderly guest, who insisted on making
an extensive tour in the vicinity of her
bed to see that no spiders-of which
she had a great dread-were lurking
in the neighborhood.
Nine. Cecil Mari describes to tho
Daily Mirror this latest craze. Really
fashionable people do not dream OF
sleeping under roof at this time Of
the year." she says. "They have their
beds taken out of doors into the gar

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, September 12.-Just a flash
of strength showed itself today in wheat.
Then the market gave way under selling
by larger commission concerns and
private wire houses. The temporary up
turn resulted from highee quotations at
Liverpool. where supplies We're being
diverted to European continental coun-
tries. Rains that had put the soil in
good condition for fall p.owing in the
United States furnished the incentive
for most of the selling. The opening
was unchanged to 1ac higher. The ensu-
ing decline carried prices sharply under
last nights level.
General rains weakened corn. There
were also predictions that no more hot
son. Prices at the outset We're I'M
changed to Mas off, and further drop
followed.
Active inquiry by exporters led after
ward to a rally in wheat. There were
dispatches telling of severe storm In
Argentine, and of cholera at Budapest.
The close was nervous, at net advance
of nan to Is.
Reactions in corn were not Of sufficient
force to cause the bear side much worry.
Shipping call was very poor. The close

That the Office of the recorder of

a change In the method of administra-

thought to be contained therein.
The report now lies on the desk Of

has not yet had opportunity to consider
the findings, and will deliberate over
it before giving it his signature.
The neutrality-suspicious. of the office
of the recorder of deeds has been pro-
