Let reverence for the laws be
breathed by every American mother
to the lisping babe that prattles on
her lap; let it be taught in schools,
in seminaries, and in colleges; let il
be written i'll primers, spelling books,
and in almanacs; let it be preached
from the pulpits, proclaimed in leg
islative halls and enforced in courts
OF justice and in short let it become
the political religion of the nation
and let the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, the grave and the
gay, of all the sexes and tongues and
colors and conditions sacrifice un-
ceasingly upon its affairs. "--Abra

SAW PARTRIDGE SHARED.
Bird Caught While Warden Was Watch
ing for PoacherS

County Game Warden Edward s.
Higgins returned Sunday night from
a trip into Readsboro and Whiting
ham for the purpose of brea king up
a gang of foreigners that has been
sharing partridges. He failed to ap-
prehend the poachoIs, but he had the
novel experience of seeing cock
partridge catch itself in one OF the
snares.
Hoping to catch the poachers in the
act of visiting their snares the warden
and Edward Jarvis, a resident of
Readsboro who passes much of his
time in the woods, had secreted them
selves in the brush near one of the
little hedges in which the snares were
set.
The usual method adopted in sharing
grouse and rabbits is to build a low
fence of brush with wickets made by
sticking the ends of a small sapline in
the ground. In the wickets are sus-
pended slip nooses of wire.
One of the pecuharities of the hab-
its of the ruffed grouse is that when
it encounters an obstruction like a
snare fence that it will seldom fly over
on the other side, but will remain on

While the warden and his compan-
ion were waiting for the poachers. a
partridge attempted to pass through one
of the wickets and ran it's head and
neck through the moose The wire
frightened and the big bird began to
fiutter and thresh about in the brush.
The two men hurried to the captive 5
assistance, but before they could re-
lease the bird it was nearly strangled
and was apparently dead. 1t was laid
upon the ground and in short snace
of time began to breathe again. Soon

distance and spread out its ruff and.
having at length become able to fill its
lungs with air, took to its wings and
