The Hunting Season.
elm Tree Monthly. )

Vermont 3 fish and game commission.
or. Linus LeavenS. makes a verv good
talk to hunters AZ the opening of the
shooting season. The hunters license
does not give the right TO 90 on any
man S land against his wish, and it is
therefore UP to the sportsman to do
nothing 10 offend the landowners.
The fifty thousand hunters in Yer
mont should act as field agents for
landowners TO assist in prosecuting any
violations of property rights, and 10
see that the country is left in better
condition than when they found it.
II is elementary, says Commits
sioner Leavens, "that the destruction
Of more wild life each year than comes
into existence, means rapid and com
plete determination. Your slogan
should be: Put back two for every one
taken. To do this, kill vermin, feed
the birds III winter. observe reasonable
bag limits, and throw your influence on
the right side. Be interested in pre-
serving the insectivorous birds. They
are of untold value to the land. This
is one way TO help the man over whose
land YOU hunt each year.

MAYoR-ELEcT HYLAN's LOG.

The life log Of Mayor-elect John F.
Hylan of New York reads like the
stories of so many other American
boys. He was the son of a poor farm
err in Hunter, ~ Y, and was born in
1865. He ddn I want to be n farmer.
he wanted something more exciting. So
he got the job of water boy on the old
CatsklH Mountains railroad and worked
up to be an engineer on an old wood
engine At 90 he came TO New York
on $3.50 of his own and borrowed
trade dollar worth. so cents. A few
months later he might have been seen
in overalls, laying rails for the Kings
county Il.
Energy and ambition were not to be
wasted for long in rail laying how
ever. At % years Of age. two years
after the Mecca Of ambitious farmer
lads had given him his first city Jon,
he had his own engine. And now rom
apce steps in. In the comely shape OF
Marian O'Hara it had been lurking
coyiv in the background-or rather on
the adjoining farm-almost from the
time that young Hvlan first began to
dream of railroadiug, but il WASH t
until the throttle was actually in his
hand that IIylan mustered the courage
TO 20 back 10 the farm and ask Miss
O 'Hara to he his wife. With marriage
his vision grew. Railroading no longer
appealed 10 him. He decided to become
lawyer, and q lawyer he became,
driving an engine at night and attend
ing the Long Island Business College
aud the New York Law school by day.
His wife prepared his lessons for him
on slips Of paper, which he studied az
night with one eve while watching the
track ahead with the other. In this
way he lost his job as engineer a month
before he graduated from the Law
a1hool-June, 1897. This is his story

disaster is to be avoided-greater speed

freight car as q storage warehouse may
he counted as almost an enemy Of his
country. At any rate he is hindering
the efforts of the government to win
the war. The railroads are hampercd
ike every other industry by lack of
help, and it is possible that persons re-
cciving shipments could expedite the
movement of cars by using their own
employees in unloading ears with the as,
sistance of the railroad men, It will
help also if shippers will load all
freight cars to their maximum capac-
tv and if buyers will increase their or
dcrs FOR material to tho point where the
shipment will fill freight ear to its
full capacity. The average carrying
capacity OF freight ear is 10000
pounds. The average load carried to-
day-cven after all the efforts made
to secure more intensive loading-is
not more than half that weight. If
all freight ears were loaded to full ca
pacity the effect would be to almost
double the freight carrying capacity of
