o. INTEREST 10 HUNTERS.

The Conservation Commission is.edu-
eating the people OF Louisiana on the value
Of Inorganic birds and how to tell nom
game birds from game birds, and how to
hunt game birds without violating the
law.
A good many hunters seem to need ed
ucation also in regard to hunting licenses.
The parish license, costing 80 cents, is re-
quired by every hunter in his parish un-
less he hunts only in his ward; and the
State license, costing So, if he hunts out
side of his parish. The market hunting
license cost $40. Buying the license. how
ever, is only part OF the requirement with
the law. 1t must be remembered that a
license does not give the hunter the right
to kill game except in strict accord with
the law. He must not kill any kind OF
game i'm ITS close season, nor kill over the
limit nor kill game in any illegal manner.
The game laws divide the birds OF the
State into three classes as follows:
Game birds (geese, brandt, ducks gros-
bees, rails, coots, gallinules, snipe, wood
cock, sandpipers, tatlers, curlews, plov-
ere, wild turkeys, quail, doves and red
winged black birds) open season, Nov.
Feb. Is.
Outlaws turkey buzzard, black vulture,
duck hawk, Cooper hawk, sharp-shinned
hawk, great horned owl, English sparrow
and crows and crow blackbirds, or crack
lee, when destructive to crops and king
fishers when nesting in levees)-NO pro-
lection: may be killed at any time.
Non-game birds CAN birdsexcept those
in the above two classes)--No open sea-
son, must not be killed at any time.
A good many hunters seem to be under
the impression that when the hunting sea-
son is open, they do not have to he as
careful as during the closed season on
game birds. From the above explanation
however, it will be seen that it is as much
against the law to kill non-game bird
during the hunting season AS at any 9TH
er time. Under the law, the bluebird,
mockingbird, robin, meadowlark, flicker
and all other birds Of the non-game
class are as safe from the hunter in De-
cember az quail in June.
In the same way, at the beginning OF
the deer or squirrel season, any kind OF
game bird is perfectly safe from the hun
Ter who Obeys the law.

The only persons who, up-to-date,
have come forward to defent the
course of our distinguished (?) Sena-
ator-elect, are the Honorable John
M. Parker and D. c.. Liable, both
progressives. The idea of demo-
|cratic Senator having to be defended
for his political course by members
of the progressive partyl
OF all who voted for him in 1912,
and who still remain loyal to the
democratic party, not one has come
forward To offer one word Of excuse
or justification for his failure to re-
spond to the call for help from his
party during the Third District fight
1t may he trueas Mr.. Liable states
in letter to the Times Picayune,
that Mr.. Broussard could not con-
troll the voters OF the Third District,
in fact we do not think he could,
but surely he must have some in
fluence down in the Third, there
must still be some who would listen
to his appeals in behalf of his party,
surely he could have persuaded some
of those who stayed at home on
election day, to go to the polls and
vote, but even if he could not, it
was none the less his duty to try, it
was none the less his duty to re-
spond to his party's cry for help,
and do what he could in the inter-
est of that party which had 30 long
and signally honored him.

slight attack of liver trouble, which
they seemed to get over in their

now would be to turn them out upon

doctor them up by giving them a
dose of Epson salts, following it
with ten drops Of tincture of nux

perfectly well, they will not breed

DUE TO CHANCE DISCOVERY
That Led to Development Of
Rich Copper Mine.

The chance discovery some years
ago by a boy Of a piece of copper
bearing ore led to the opening up Of
a very promising copper mine on the
estate OF Otter, in Argyllshire, Scot
land.
Struck by the appearance OF the
ore, the boy kept 1t two years, when
he showed 1t to Mr.. j. S. Taylor, a
mining expert, In Glasgow. Mr. Tay-
lor prospected the district, and three
rich lodes were opened. THE Murder
Lode" has proved to be by far the
richest. and the field was selected for
exploration because 1t was known that
no matter how heavily is was manfred
no grass or crop could be got to grow
there.
The picturesque name arose through
a local tradition that a curse lay on
the field because 1t had been the scene
of a fight to the death between two
women. The real reason for its bar
renness was found to be the presence
Of poisonous copper salts.

second is the presentation of himself

No man likes to appear at even
temporary disadvantage. and yet be-
fore the scrutiny OF a calculating fam
lily he is fain to concede that he would
not care to be such a complete fool
as he appears to be, or at least feels,
under the ordeal So far as intro

miserable feeling that the eye of ex-
perience may not view the treasure
with such open and generous vision
as Is BETTING; that the hitherto un-
blemished angel may possibly, under
the critical investigation, bear some
mortal defect, scar or two, quite IN
suspected and unseen by loves fond

feels that sister is not so welldisposed
as might be hoped, and that brother

the summing up will be something he
would rather prefer not to be heard,

At one stockyard after another you

The connection between the PENN.

past seven may, at first, seem some
what puzzling. AS a matter of fact,
however, we owe the habit of dining
at that hour to the Duke of Wellington.
1t was the custom of the Iron Duke
when on his campaigns not to sit down
to table until the days fighting was
over, whenever that might be-, and
then he generally partook of a beef
steak pudding. which, he said, pos4
sessed two virtues. 1t was an appe-
thing dish. and did not spoil by Keep
ing.
On his return home he apparently
brought this custom with him, and his
officers brought the pudding to the
United States Service club, from
which 1t spread to other clubs The
dukes chef was named Felix, and it
was he who hit upon the happy idea
OF improving the flavor of his masters
pudding by the addition of mushrooms
and oysters.
