THE GAME LAWS,

The closed season on partridge and
woodcock in Waldo county is from the
first day of December of each year until
the Both day of September of the follow
ing year, both days inclusive.
From now on, it will be unlawful to
hunt any game or other bird from SUM-
set of one day until sunrise of the next,
II will also be unlawful to hunt any wild
animal from one hour after sunset until
one hour before sunrise of the following
day. BY these regulations, all night
hunting will be done away with.
Under the old law, hunter was allow
ed to kill but five cartridges and ten
ducks in day, though he was permitted
to have IN his possession at any one
time 10 cartridges and Is ducks. The
new law makes it illegal for hunter to
have in his possession more than five
partridges or 10 ducks at any one time,
the same number he is allowed to shoot.
The law relating to woodcock allows
the shooting and possession of 10 birds,
and this has not been changed.
Even more important than the changes
made in the bird laws at the last session
of the legislature was the law which has
placed close time of four years on
moose. The only opposition to the en-
actment of this measure came from rep
resentatives of Washington county.
They were so much outnumbered, how
ever that they gave up and the close
time was enacted. Hunters coming to
Maine for big game this year will, there
fore, not have the privilege of taking
home moose, even if they should have
the luck to see one.
The license fee for nonresident hunt
ers has been reduced from $25 to SIS,
the figure at which it was placed when
the law was originally enacted. This,
it is believed, will serve to bring more
hunters into the State.
The digging out of fox dens has been
prohibited and all bear traps set in the
woods must now be placed in hut with
a notice on the outside of the structure
informing the people that a bear trap is
on the inside

THE RUSSIAN RETREAT-AS RUS
SLAMS SEE 1T.

Russia has no intention of letting Ger
many keep the upper hand in this matter
of weapons and munitions. Alre ady
from three directions new supplies are
pouring into her battle-fronts: from the
north, the port of Archangelsk, which
will very soon be supplemented by new
ice-free port on the Lapland coast, kept
open all the year by the warm current
of the Gulf Stream which bends round
the north of Norway, and IN process of
being joined by railroad to central Rus
STA; from her Pacific ports, whence con-
tinuous supply-interrupted at critical
moment for Russia by the threat of
trouble in China-is once again pouring
along The Trans-Siberian railroad,
supply steadily increasing in volume, I'M
der the stimulus of Russia's former rival
and present ally on the Pacific; and from
the third source, the machine shops and
factories of Russia herself, which are
being pressed to the utmost possible out
put by the very remarkable movement
which is popularity called ''the mobiliza-
ton of the Russian nation" Whether
yet fourth source will shortly be added,
coming through the gates of the OAR
danelles, is secret which lies in the lap
of the gods.
A concluding work: Such is the retreat,
as Russians see it. How, in their hearts,
do the really wise and far-sighted men in
Germany see it? What face does 1t bear
to them. with the early winter already
upon them, the first frosts announcing
the time, close at hand, when iron ground
will make the digging of trenches we'll
nigh impossible, when snoW-drlfts will
pile mountainous obstacles in the way of
their daily supply of munitions and food?
They know, too, that Russia's supply of
men is well-nigh inexhaustible, while
they themselves are near the bottom of
the purse. Do they foresee already, with
startling clarity, that their army of IN
vasion has come to stay?-th the world
war, as they prophesied, is really being
decided on the eastern front, though not
in the sense of their prophesies? If
there be men in Germany with genuine
foresight and wisdom, l think they re-
gard the retreat of Russia's armies with
a dismay akin to terror. Charles Johns

American Review.

Want Androscoggin Dredged.

Cong. McGillicuddy will introduce on
the first day of the next session of the
present Congress, bill to dredge the
Androscoggin river from Lewiston to a
point six miles below Brunswick; to con-
struct locks and canals and make the
river navigable from Lewiston to the sea.
The project, deemed feasible by the
United States Board of River and Har-

gresham when he addressed the October
meeting of the Lewiston Chamber of
Commerce Monday evening. Steps will
be taken by that body at once. The con-

WHEN DADDY BUILDS THE FIRE.

&
When daddy builds the kitchen fire he bustles
through the rooms.
And slams the door and bangs the screens and
in the kitchen 9looms;
And whangs the kindling into bits and numbers
up the coal,
gins to roll;
And then he HES him to the porch and with
martyrs air
He sinks with signs and sroans into the am
plest, easy chair.
And elevates his weary feet above his weary
head
And figures. figures. figures and wishes he
were dead.
Then mother comes and gets the broom and
brushes up the muss,
And sets the table quietly without a bit of
fuss;
And makes the toast and bols the eggs and
dips the coffee clear.
And calls us in to breakfast with her voice all
full of cheer.
And makes the beds and scrubs the floor and
picks up all our things,
And washes up the dishes and answers all the
rings,
And goes and gets the garden truck and makes
jeff Davis pie,
And put the dinner on to cook, the doughnuts
on to fry;
And stuffs the raisin pickles and boils some
corn to can,
And sweeps the walks and skins the milk and
mends leaky pan;
And hunts the check dad couldn't find and gets |
my hat for me;
And spreads the cloth and serves the meal and |
battles my swollen knee,
And washes all the dishes up and shells some
butter beans.
And kills and picks some chickens and all the
silver cleans
And gets the supper under way and cans a
little fruit,
And makes me take bath, alas and lays me
out suit;
And telephones the cleaners to come for dad
dy's coat,
And tells the Suffrage Ladies mo, she doesn't
want to vote"
Meanwhile, recumbent on the couch slumbers
my peaceful sire,
For daddy thinks the worlds work done when
he has built the fire.
