A varmint kills livestock. A warm int kills game. Why then should not stockmen and game protectionists join forces in combating varmints? This is the question which the newly organ ized game protective Associations of New Mexico are asking themselves, and wondering why nobody ever thought of it before.
 The annual loss of livestock from predatory animals has been estimated to be S15,000,000.

and announced:

"Ry golly, she's entering on the cue"
said Pcale joyfully.
"Wc're safe now" said Rodney.
"Oh. | do hope So" sighed Mary.
Money!
1t took some maneuvering to manage
the coming countess with her $4,000
and Ellery with his prospective $500.
They needed either or both Of them to
cover up that $500 they had hand
ed TO Jones. Mary and Rodney dared
not think what would happen If new
capital could not be obtained in time.
Then Just as the countess was about
TO be shown In the capable Ellery stuck
his head In the door and vowed he
could not manage the telephone; he
never had run a switchboard; he was
not good at mechanical problems. Mary
was told off to ring up his father for
him, and Peale called after her to hold
his hand or kiss him-anything to leave
the floor lear for the countess. Need
less to say, the kiss was not suggested
by Rodney.
Rodney ran to u window and pulled
down u shade on which was blazoned:

He turned round to greet her full of
hope. He was sure he could under.
stand anything she said about money.
He would leave to Ambrose the pleas
ant sensation of spending it on adver-
Using.
When she finally swept in he met her
with Il delighted air and kissed her
hand, which was the way in which he
had conceived the part. He also said
bon jour, twice, and pointed to the
shade that bore the French advertise
meut. Rodney could make out also
that she inquired If they had received
her letter? Peale had been listening
intently and couldn't keep still.
oh, you little life saver" he chirped.
He. too, kissed her hand, on Rodney's
telling him it was French stuff. She
looked like money. Ambrose thought.
She must have 1t.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-CharleS :.
 Mellen. former president of the New
 York, New Haven and Hartford rail road. took upon himself today the re spOnsitility for the New Ravens policy of acquiring trolley lines in New Eng land. which the government in the trial of the former directors of the road charges was a part of the New HaVen's alleged plan to monopolize commerce Mir Mellen testified that in 1904 he urged on the board the necessity of a comprehensive plan of acquisition of trolley properties or else to drop the lines it had already acquired.
 T told my directors time and again, he said. that the road ought to supply the public with it's needs and that meant trolleys, steamships and rail road lines. It was my policy and I always put it forward, that the public should be supplied with all classes of transportation it demanded"
 The question came up, said the wit ness with the proposed acquisition of the Fair Haven and Westville to which there was some opposition on the board. Not only this line but others should be acquired. he told the board he said. lin order to furnish trolley terminals in all towns and give the people of New England the facilities they wanted

 The testimony was only admitted conditiOnaIly. however as Judge Hunt stated that where the trolley lines were shown to have operated within the borders of a single state. as is the case of many of the Connecticut lines, there was doubt in his mind that their acquisition was necessarily a vio- lation of the Sherman law which ap- plies to interstate commerce
