DUCK HUNTING

present at sunrise in a rice swamp
waiting to be attacked by wild duck.
To enjoy duck hunting in its
prime, the hunter must first select a
day on which the Humane Society
wouldn't allow a dog to be kept out
of doors. He should then dress him
self in canvass clothes, put on twen-
ty-pound hip boots, put forty pounds
of ammunition and a sandwich in
his pockets, rent leaky boat and
row five miles in gale, bailing out
with his cap. Having done this, he
should build blind of reeds and lie
in the mud until evening, smoking
pipe for warmth and occasionally
breaking the ice around his legs.

matter Of race propagation. Contrary
to the ideas Of the former President

would impose heavier taxes on mar

view Of discouraging marriage and
the consequent advent OF children.
The professor agrees with DIR. Malthus
that population tends 70 increase fast

right to make man endure a freez

I complained about it to the janitor,

A. The answer to this question
must depend upon the nature Of your
agreement, written or verbal, with
your landlord and also upon general
custom and usage. If the landlord
agreed, at the time of letting the
premises. to heat them at his ex-
pense. or If such is the custom and

A quaint, squat idol, carved and old.
Cut from a piece OF jade,
With eyes that, looking inward, hold
Long thoughts that never fade.
1t speaks of dynasties and powers
Now crumbled into dust:
OF ruined minarets and towers.
OF faded joy and trust.
OF mummied figures, thickIy bounds
OF scents of Araby,
And ancient time forgot, unwound
Abreast a sapphire sea.
or winds spice-laden, honey-sweet.
OF blistering desert sands;
Or fronded palms and languid heat.
And far Egyptian lands.
OF rugs barbaric hued and soft.
OF silks in gorgeous strips.
Of skies gemIled thick with stars
aloft, FL ~ sqfi
or songs and scarlet lips.
A quaint, squat idol, carved and old.
with jewelled eyes alame,
Lid in an antique shop, unsold.

The statutes further provide that

their respective districts in which
women or children are employed, in
Guiding mercantile establishments.

provisions and requirements of the
laws relating to the employment of
