Of the new cunning license law For instance the

There appears to he considerable agitation among
the farmers in Delaware the apparent severity Of
The new game law, which requires every gunner to
take out license even TO gun his own premises
while other gunners who no cunning ground and
more for their license, permitted to gun on
another mans premises unless prohibited by mo tres

above 1yerity of the law by posting prohibtory

new law is an instance of the strange kind of law

Gordon Highanders paid dearly for the
kiss they received from the charming
Duchess. Soon tLey were sent to fight
the French, and in their first engage
ment 800 of them were killed or wound
ed. The survivors however, maintained
that they never regretted the price they
paid for a single kiss.
Talking about kissts, in the year 1908
a stolen kiss was the means of bringing
about war. Duke Ferdinand of Ba-
varia was journeying into q neighboring
German state. One day he visited the
court of fellow ruler, and while wan
dering about the spacious park that sur
rounded the palace he espied a beautiful
maiden under a spreading tree. He was
so bewitched by her beauty and charm.
ing personality that he thoughtlessly
implanted kiss on her fair cheek. She
was princess of the royal family, but
the Bavarian prince did not know it;
neither did he know that she was an
aflianced bride, ad that the bridegroom
was nearby and perceived the Outrage"
There We're hot words and blows. A duel
was fought and both principals were
wounded. Diplomatic relations between
the two states were suspended and a
long war ensued. The stolen kiss was
paid for most dearly in blood and treas
ure.

IMPORTANT WATERFRONT DECIsION.

n ONiMENTlNG edorally upon tdewater owner
- ship the Philadelphia Inquirer says:
few days ago the Supreme Court OF New York de-
cded that the strip OF beach between high and low
water marks belonged 10 the puhlicaud could not be
alienated The case involved some Concy Island beach
property where for short distance had been
shut Off The court held that the public had right
the strip in question that IL could never be aenated,
and that an claims to private ownership we're void
Now this Is important decision which affects prac-
tcay an tide water beaches. The TO have
been decided general grounds and is not affected by
any statutes IN New York Il may be possible that
in New Jersey a different condition exists but If the
principle laid down correct there are men who are
dsobeyine the law In Ventnor and other portions Of
the New Jersey coast riparian owners have hukheaded
their lots even beyond low water mark. To such
extent has this taken place i'm sections that prac
'cals there is beach left This is due TO the cupid
uy OF landowners who encroaoh the TO get valu-
able building lots
II seems that there have not been great many cases
tried which involve this principle and the defeated
party in int rest will probably take il to the Supreme
Court of the United States The is interesting be-
of the novelty of the contention set up and a
final decision will be of vast importance to many
persons
AS such decision may have an important bearing
upon the Delaware river waterfront for Wilmington
Il might be we'll for City Council or City Solicitor
Hastings TO send New York for certified copy Of it
TO see to what extent the PRINCIPLES of law laid down
therein ale applicable to the local situation.

gala day and never falls TO rouse the
enthusiasm of visitors from every part
Of the world. From hill and glen the
sturdy men come, bringing with them
formidable weapons of war which
have been used on many a Highland
battlefield. Marshaled by their lead
ers. and with bagpipes playing, they
march with swinging stride to Prin-
cess Royal Park. where the sports OF
the day begin.
King Edward, like Queen Victoria,
was patron of the society, and fre-
uuently graced the gathering with his
presence, King George in this respect,
as i'm many others, has followed in his
fathers footsteps. He frequently at
tended the gathering as the Prince OF
Wales. but only once since his accession
to the throne. in 1911. No meeting was
held in 1912, on account Of the death of
the Duke of Fife, one of the patrons of
the society. This year. however. with
the Queen and other members of the
roval family the King motored across
from lmoral to witness the famous
athletic contests. Braemar Castle,
Glentana House and the numerous
shooting lodges on Decside were repre-
sented so that the event fully main
tanned its former popularity as the first
and greatest of Highland gatherings.
Braemer has memories of other gath
erings" On September 6. l7l5, the Earl
of Mar raised the flag of the Old Pre-
tender The onlookers foresaw the re-
suit of that mad adventure, for when
the flag was raised the gilt ball at the
end of the staff fell Off And there was
no William the Conqueror there to turn
such an omen of defeat into victory.
Another gathering has its "Cairn of Re-
membranes up the glen. This heap
of stones was made by some early
clansmen as they mustered for war.
Each man contributed stone On their
return men and stones were counted.
The difference was the toll of the dead.
The Caire of Remembrance is an elo-
quent monument to multitude of
clansmen.
In the year 1904 the beautiful and
famous Duchess of Gordon founded the
Gordon Highlanders. one of the most not
able regiments of Scotland. The most at
tractive terms TO new recruit in this
regiment were a guinea in gold and a
kiss from the lips of the far-famed duch-
ess. II is said. and il is to be believed,
that this regiment was raised more
quickly than any other in the British
army. This seems all very well, but the
