Legislator.
This bill provided that it should
be unlawful, under q penalty of
$25, to set a steel trap outside
of a building,
They are not all of course, for

on which l cast those l95 votes.
Most of those other votes were
cast on bills which did not con-

of the State.

j. @. Bird was County Attor-

do for those laboring men whose

them? How did he use the power
these same miners had helped to

Did anybody ever hear of his
doing anything;
On the contrary did he not
prosecute those same miners who
had been his friends.
While j. Q. Bird was in the
employe of the Porctor Coal Co.
the miners there sought to organ

ensued.
Whose side was Bird on in this
fight? Was he aiding and assist
ing the men whose votes he is
now asking? Not on your life.
He was fighting those men then
with tooth and nail, with every
atom of his power working ag-

bitter speeches against them.

been notified by their local
Board to appear for examination
are eligible for enlistment in the
Navy, according to an announce
ment made here today by Ensign
VIM T Ritter, commanding the

State from registered men, who
are in line for being called in the
next increment. The Navy will
not enlist man who has been
notified by Local Board to aD
pear fer examination. A man
who is registered but has re-
ceived no such notice can enlist
in the Navy providing he can
pass the physical examination
for the Navy.
The ages for enlistment in the
Navy are 10 to IS.
There are a number of differ
ent branches in which expert
enced men can enlist, but men
without experience in some Navy
trade can enlist as apprentice
seamen or firemen third class
and work up to the higher rat
ings.
The lowest pay in the Navy to
day is 1872 so month, plus lib
eral allowance of clothing and
rations and quarters.

LYNX Meat as Food.

AS an article of diet the Canada
lynx cannot be beaten when properly
prepared, although this may be a sur.
prise to the vast majority of people
even in the regions where this big cat
is best known. This statement is
made in the belief that the common
lynx found in Alaska is the same ani-
mai scheduled by the natural histories
as lynx Canadensis. If any curious
person will take the headquarters of
lynx in good condition, leave it over
night in a bucket of water to which,
a handful of salt and a teaspOonful off
soda are added, and then roast it with
potatoes he will have dish very simI
liar to mountain sheep, admittedly thel
finest meat in the world. An onion orI
two placed in the roasting pan will
help. In entertaining hypercriticallyl
fastidious friends it's just as well to|
give the dish some other name, in
which event its delicious flavor will
receive extravagant praise.

To Avoid a Double Chin.

Sleep with the head low if you would
avoid a double chin. High pillows
throw the head forward, make a fold
of flesh under the chin, and cause the
muscles to relax. Battle the chin night
and morning with very cold water and
a few drops Of benzOin.
A double chin often results from the
habit of bending the chin forward and
down to read OF study, or it may come
from being near-sighted. If from habit,
learn to raise the object up so that the
eyes may be properly focused upon ii
without bending the head forward,
This will also prevent any strain upon
the eyes.
