Painters Gone From Atlantic.

the Atlantic side OF the continent.
The panther killed in the Everglades
OF Florida a couple of years ago was
something Of an anomaly. In the Ad-
irondacks tho virtual passing Of the
painters as faunai considerations was
contemporaneous with that OF the moose
back over fifty years ago. The two
great beasts had outgrown their envi-
ronment.
Up where northernmost Maine blends
with Quebec have observed the same
transition effected in the case OF moose
within a comparatively short span OF
years, and although the section retains

I believe that Maine should remove

Other States have become well shot

opinion is that we should shorten the

1t will sound harsh in the ears of the
Maine man who had accepted without

fact that extinction is the natural result
OF intensive hunting of those species of

Cocks, or George G. Cocks, is my real

That settled the question. His real
name was Cocks.
Our records" said Judge Hoffman,
wouldn't show that you were di-
vorced here. Fred G. Cocks has
never been divorced here"
Rev. Mr.. Cocks then inquired:
"What position does that leave me
in now?
Everything would have been ad-
justed," replied Judge Hoffman. "if
you had come to me openly and told
me of your children and the change OF
your name"
The case was taken under advise
ment. Last night Rev. Fred G. Cox
had wife and Rev. George Cocks had
a wife. But the question that had dis
turbed Judge Hoffman, whether Cox
was Cocks or Cocks was Cox. was set
tied, for Cox really was Cocks, though
he didn't admit 1t until yesterday af-
