Rabbits Know Geography.

Since the Connecticut game Law
went into effect there has been much
trouble along the state line over
Rhode Island shooters coming over
to this side. Connecticut game ward
ems ard protectors are scattered all
along the line looking out for law
violators who plead ignorance of the
state line whereabouts.
Two Providence men were fined
$30.44 for each rabbit 'holed" for
they hadn't caught any.

DISPUTED, BUT KEPT TEMPER
How General Wolseley and War Cor
respondent Conducted Acrimonious
Quarrel In the Newspapers.

One or two of the notices of Lord
Wolseley's career mention the pro
tracted dispute between Wolseley and
Sir William Russell as to the behavior
of the troops in South Africa in 1879.
Russell had accused the troops OF
drunkenness and footing in no uncer-
tain terms. Wolseley defended his
men with generous warmth. but the
manner in which both Wolseley and
Russell kept their regard for each 9TH
er, each well knowing that the other
spoke in sincerity, was a model OF
how a dispute of principle should be
conducted between public men.
Sir John Tenniel in Punch charm
ingly hit off this polite yet furious
quarrel in a cartoon. The cartoon
was headed, "The Art of Politeness."
and underneath were the words:
Sir Garnet Wolseley--Pardon me,
my dear doctor, If say that you have
been hoaxed by gross exaggerations
and transparent untruths.
Doctor Russell-Forgive me. my dazr
cling young general, for mentioning
that you are pig-headed ignoramua

The talk in the lobby of a Washing

Rambling along the road one morn

his neighbor. Sambo. Instantly it was
seen that Rastus had large tidings to
