Mrs. Kildare proceeded nevertheless
at some length to make the purely sex

BILL MALONE.
Though Bill Malone
Was often stuck,
lie ne'er was known
To blame his luck.
But wore a smile
When things went wrong,
And all the while
Just toiled along.
Was not the kind
To peevish grow
When winter wind
Began to blow
And caught him out
OF cash and coal;
He'd simply shout,
why, bless my soul!''
An optimist,
No doubt of that;
Though much he'd missed,
His purse was flat
And years increased
His poverty,
He never ceased
To happy be.
You wonder how
He still maintained
A tranquil brow
When troubles rained
And oft there was
The deuce to pay;
l guess because
Twas just his way.

While hunting in the Virginia woods. near Bailey's crossroads. in Alexandria county, few nights ago. a pack of dogs belonging 10 JoHn Monroe and colored man named Mortimer Wiggins ran down and killed an animal believed 10 be an armaditlo.
 The dogs were alter opossums and eoons but getting on the scent Of the animal, followed it for an hour or more before they landed their quarry
 Later it was learned that the arma- diilo belonged to one Of the troops of cavalry at Fort Myer The men had secured a number of the animals while on duty on the Texas border and had brought them 10 the fort
 The one that was killed had es- capped and the men had been hunting the woods for it for several days. when they learned that t had been killed. This is possibly the only arm adillo hunt that eyer took place in the vicinity of Washington

Protectinc 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. | will put an end to 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 to aid in the extinction of our wild animals and birds, and the elimination Of this type of hunter will be most beneficial
 Each year the game laws are be, ing more strictly enforced, and the protectors have obtained large mum. Der of convictions The officials are no longer ready to overlook violations Of the law, but are making every eff fort 10 put stop to Illegal hunting And In this work they have the moral support of all good citizens of the state.-Schenectady Gazette

Houseboats to Let.

The cult of the houseboat has never made much progress in this country. for number of reasons, the chief of which is perhaps the liking of Ameri- cans for speed. Besides. We are a eregarious people, and hotels with their crowds attract most of those who have not the time or money for elaborate country places.
 But in England and Germany these quiet summer floating houses are in. ereasing in popularity. and d Berlin company has this year gone into the business on large scale of building houseboats to let.
 They are built on one pattern, the main feature of them being a roof yeranda, to serve as dining and liv. fngroom Perhaps We may some time appreciate their advantages. and our rivers may present as attractive an appearance as does the Thames.

TAPPING LAKE CF GENEVA
Project by Which Water May De Brought to Paris bY 3oo-HiiIe
 Canal.

New York is not he only great city that is troubled by the problem of a water supply. Paris has so nearly reached the limit of its convenient supply that 1t has revived the project Of drawing upon the water or Lake Geneva.
 This lake is in Switzerland in the minds of most persons but most of the southern shore is French terrl- tory, and although the control of the level by the barrage at Geneva IS Switzerland's by treaty. still France claims it has rights that would allow 1t to lower the level by four inches during the dry season, which is all that is contemplated under the pres ent plan
 The proposed canal would be over three hundred miles long, including many tunnels and the crossing of four large rivers, and would cost about s100 900 000 It has not ad- vauced beyond the stage of discus sion. but the need of Paris is so press ing that it may yet be realized.
