mails and birds; good roads and their
relation to forests, game and fish; pol
tuition Of streams; raising fish on the
farm; need Of fish hatchcries in West
irginia; Boy Scouts; forestry and for

Suggests Amendments.
Some amendments which should be
made at the next session Of the leg
islaturc are suggested in this re-
port MS follows: The enactment OF
q resident hunters license for the
purpose of raising revenue for the
protection Of forests from fire, and
for the purpose OF better protecting
and propagating game and fish, and
for the purpose OF better protecting
the land owners and farmers by pro-
viding means Of Identification by
which the destruction Of properly and
other acts Of vandalism by hunters
may be traced and the perpetrators
punished. A state fish hatchery
should be provided so that the streams
OF our state may be stocked with
fish. Our laws relating to forest fires
should be amended so as to conform
to the rules and regulations OF the
United States government, in order to
receive cooperation from the govern
ment i'll this work, and to afford bet
ter protection to our forests. Author
ity should be granted to the forest,
game and fish warden to close certain
depicted streams for fishing, so that
fish planted may be given time to
multiply. The open season on botE
trout and bass should be shortened. 4
limit on the number OF trout taken
per day should be fixed at 20 AMI
the minimum length to he taken rails
ed from five to SIX inches. Section
"A Of the Acts Of 1908 should be
amended SO as to make the meaning
clear as to the catching Of fish Of the
sucker variety In any way ut any time,
which is very conflicting and which
is not plain even to the legal profess
sion. 1t is suggested that it be made
unlawful to catch fish in any OF the
streams OF the state except with hook
and line. Open and closed seasons
on all migratory birds should be made
TO conform with the federal law.
There should be a bag limit on gray
squirrels of not moro than twenty-five
per day. All unnaturalized foreigners
should be prohibited from carrying
firearms of any kind. There should
be a closed season on all fur-beartng
animals except for about 60 days
when tho fur is merchantable. Au.
thority should be given to the for
est, game and fish warden to lease
land for game and bird refugees or
sanctuaries, where all shooting may
be prohibited and game and birds
raised for stocking purposes.
Copies OF this report are being
mailed to all constables, Justices and
deputy wardens. Any other persons
desiring O.. copy may secure same free

RICH in HISTORIC INTEREST
Excellent Reasons Why MIsslssIppi's
Old Capitol Should Be Preserved
by People OF State.

A bill for r%enovating MiBsisatppts
old statehouse calls for the legislature
Of the state to consider a question
more or less continuously discussed by
Mississippians ever since the compile
ton OF the present capitol in 1903. For
a comparatively modest sum the old
capitol may be restored and put to Z
cellent and appropriate use. So that
today the sentimental plea for the
buildings preservation Is strongly re-
inforced by utilitartan arguments.
Mississippi's old statehouse should
be as dear to Mississippians who take
pride in their states history as the
Cabildo is to L~ouisianians. Built in 1889
the old capitol at Jackson is identified
with the most stirring events In the
most stirring period Of MisstsstDpis
history.
In 1s49 It housed the convention that
formally asserted the principle Of
secession as a state right. In Its hall
the convention Of 1861 was assembled
and the ordinance Of secession passed.
During the stormy years just following
the war It witnessed the dispossessIon
Of two governors by federal troops,
and staged the notorious .'b1ack and
tan" convention. 1t was the scene Of
the impeachment trial Of Governor
Ames. In 1890 It eheltered the consti-
tuttona15 convention which framed and
enacted the franchise plan that solved
the, south's most portentious problem.
Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, Prem
tiss, Lamar. WalthaIl, George and
other makers of history have ad-
dressed Mississippi audiences IN the
historic structure. It witnessed the
election Of Jefferson Davis as major
general of Mississippi troops at the
beginning of the struggle between the
states. From its rostrum the Confed-3
crate president In 1884 delivered his
farewell address, 70 tho people Of; Mis-
sissippi.

oeing true to death, and all that, and
che made up her mind to make herself
worthy Of Anthony.
She took her savings and wen TO
night school with them. BY the end
Of the year Lefty was a fair stenog-
rapher and bookkeeper, and, as the
young woman who kept books for the.
tavern was leaving to get married,
Lefty stepped into her shoes. The.
salary was a dollar less than her
wages had been, when she held the.
broom, but she was mighty glad.
AT the end OF the year Anthony
comes on his route again, and when
Lefty looked up from her books and
saw him standing, waiting to register,
her heart beat SO that she couldn't
speak.
"Anthony looked at her, and his
crouch began to clear away. He al
ways liked pretty girls.
"cYou sure are q peach, kIddo,' he
said, and chucked her under the chin.
How about the movies tonight?
with that he was gone, leaving
poor Lefty in a heaven of ecstasy. Her
rod had noticed her again; he was
going to take her out. That hashy
chap was a kim in Letty's eyes.
IT guess Ant my wanted to take
her out all right, though he hadn't the
slightest notion that he had ever met
her before. But he fell in with some
Of the boys, and they got him into q
poker game, and when he got out at
midnight, he was $72 in the hole And
by that time he had forgotten all about
Lefty, who had been waiting all.
prlmped up since eight O'Clock.
Lefty cried herself to sleep, and
next morning Anthony was gone be-
fore she was down in the Office.
"She gave up hope then, but she
stayed % at the tavern keeping the
books. She wouldn't have anything
to do with the young fellows Of Wake
leld, but she was always nice to tray-
cling men: About the time when AM
thony was due'again she began to ask
.timid questions about him. But no..
body told her much; you see. they!
guessed something had happened be-
tween them. But at last Lefty got the
truth from ayoung salesman who was
making the rounds.

FRANCE GETS
 BACK PIETY
ANOTHER STORY ILLUSTRATING HOW TROUBLE BRINGS
 RELIGION.
CBy The Associated Press.1

VERNEUIL, Nov. 2S.-"It matters notw cried the old Abbe, crossing him self before the gaping hole in the front of the parish church at Vern- euil "God is eternal and by His Grace we shall survive"
 The six-inch shell that went through the hole had carried the door with it and blown out part of the side wall. A smaller hole in the clock tower marked where three-inch projectile had cut through, and the dial lay shat tered at Abbe Schmidts feet. Another shot had torn from it's hangings the old church bell, which in it's fall had crashed through the font and obstruct- ed the entry. Another shot had made a great opening in the roof and the shell exploding inside had demolished the altar and the reHquary lay buried beneath heap of stone, mortar and
 plinters. But the four walls remained erect and the steeple seemed to hold its pointed head up with the same digniRed foritude with which the ven erable Abbe braved the iron hand of the destroyer.
 Five days before the Germans had made a short forced halt around Vern- euil, and when they passed through it was to seek shelter for great number of victims of the French artillery had halted in its retreat to check the pur- suers. The vicar of the parish was among the 10000 priests with the French army, whose line already eX- tended far to the south. Most of the inhabitants of the parish had fled or sought refuge, and the Abbe Schmidt was nearly alone to aid the German surgeons and nurses to take care of these grievously torn soldiers, most of whom lay upon bundles of straw in the church itself. For three days, night and day, he cared for the enemy's wounded with the same devotion as if they were of his own country. Then, in the frantic hurry of the retreat be- fore the Allies, he endeavored, as far as possible, to ease the pain caused by their transport into all sorts of i'm provised ambulances.
 The last of the wounded had scarce ly quit town, when the booming of cannon was heard from two directions almost simultaneously, and from the German lines the shells began to fall into the little village. When the French came through, the church was wrecked and no longer possible shel- ter for the French wounded.
 The following day was Sunday, and
