fall in line with any person; keep the
safety catch on until approaching
game; always hold the muzsles up
when the safety is off and the gun Is
ready to be discharged: never enter
dwelling with shells in the gun, take
them out at the yard gate; never get
into any conveyance with the gun
loaded: don't crawl thru fence with
the muzzles forward following a COM
panion: never draw the gun toward
you by the mules; never shoot at
game unless you know that nobody is
within the line of your fire il is better
to lose shot than to shoot human
being; never forget that loaded gun
is death trap. don't handle gun
without opening 1t and satisfying Your
self whether or not it is loaded. Re-
member that TO be careless is TO be
criminal In matters that involve life
and limb. Don't hunt with careless
person. Don't hunt with more than
one person at a time. Don't take liq-
uor, into the field. Don't hunt with
those who do.
These are the rules observed by
man who has hunted game of all kinds
over a term OF more than forty years
and who has never had an accident be-
cause he observed them strictly He
has never suffered from an accident
because the men he has hunted with
observed the same rules If they didn't
he quit hunting with them.
There Is no excuse for the man or
boy who shoots another He is simply
criminal because he has been criminal
ly careless of another persons life and
safety. No amount of frantic horror
and self reproach can do any good aft
er the manslaughter-for that is what
is what II is-has been accomplished.
Hunting is fine sport. 1t helps
make men OF boys. Perhaps il has its
touch OF cruelty and esthetically may
be condemned by the hyperesthetic bur
it helps make strong men. AT any
rate boys and men will go on hunting
until the millennium and until tina; ap-
parently far off period when every
thing will be perfect they should be
trained to avoid killing each other thru

MORE MILLIONS FOR ROADS.

Having built over a thousand miles
CT paved rural roads with other peo-
pies money derived from a bond issue.
the people of California authorized an
other bond issue of $4,000, 900 at the
recent election with which to con-
struct another thousand miles of paved
roads. This is TO be a state bond issue
in addition TO many county bond pro-
jects and in addition to quarter of
= million 10 be given by the federal
government each year.
The people OF New Jersey, like the
people Of California, having had few
paved roads upon the bond plan voted
IN the recent election for 100000 Of
state bonds to be issued for $50 miles
OF paved roads, the entire amount TO be
paid out of the future increase in auto
licenses. They have voted 10 take the
roads now and pay FOR them out of the
additional auto licenses that are sure
to come in the future.
The people of Dallas county, Texas,
also voted half a million in bonds for
roads TO be paid for out Of the road tax
which is raised regularly for dirt road
maintenance.
These sums look large until we real
lie that the taxpayers of Iowa raise
Sl&.000,o00 every year for roads and
bridges and get no paved roads and
very few graveled roads for their
money. The people of California Will
have fifty years in which 10 pay for
their paved roads. Most of them will
not be on earth when the last bond
falls due.

When man or woman reaches mid

high explosives as current bills or sight
drafts or the baby's stomach teeth or
the hired girls resignation on wash

childhood and wonder why it had to
