GOOD LIvERs IN HARD LUCK
Their Supply Of Table DeIIcacles Has
Been Largely curtailed, and
Even W!ESd Out.

In these later years Of strict en-
forcement Of very strict game laws,
the bon vIvants and epicures at city
hotel and restaurant tables. who once
could buy the toothsome delights OF
field, forest and stream unmolested
and unafraid, are finding hard lines.
It Is no longer possible even to con-
ceal the feathered wards Of states

wardens. can, and do, raid refrigera-
tors In cafes. We have fallen upon
evil days for bon vivants and epicures
who, disdaining the little furred crea.
lures the laws leave more open to
slaughter, have fallen back upon the
frog as the best thing to be had.
It Is hardly more than generation
since frog legs were looked upon ask
ance among us. After we had tried
them and found them good we We'd

frog have been the only game left us
the demand has greatly increased, but
the frogs fecundity has kept pace
with and even outrun it, aRd bon
vivants and epicures have not been as
those mourning without hope. But
comes now the representative in the
New York legislature Of the Oneida
county district, proposing to restrict
the ways of catching and killing frogs
to spearing, angling, catching with
hands or killing with gun or club The
introducer of the bill sets out that, in
order to meet the growing demand Of
the market, the pot hunters set snares
which are cruel in method. He, like
the lawmakers Of other states, has no
sympathy with or understanding Of
the appetites Of city bon vivants and
epicures, who know what they want

Horse Not speedy.

A certain cricket club in England en-
gagged new groundsman. About the
same time they sought new horse
to pull -the roller. A day or two later
the groundsman approached the club
secretary looking anxious.
II want to know" he said, "who will
be responsible If the 'oss 'appens to
meet with an accident?"
"You certainly would be response
ble,"" said the puzzled secretary. "The
animal is in your charge"
"Then I give notice." said the
groundsman. firmly; ''the brute hasn't
speed enough to get out Of the way of
a roller, and one day / shall run him
down and fiatten him out. It's too
risky"
The club is now advertising for an
other horse.

Lannuana Of the EYES.

Independent Of their color, the eyes
are a telltale language to those who
are observant. The brilliant, sparkling
eye, generally dark, drawn upward
enough to show something Of the white,
makes the student think Of unchecked
feelings and willful disregard Of the
usually fine mind which accompanies
them. Full, dark eyes Of this sort de-
light in action and are seldom content
to live a reflective, contemplative life.
Big dark eyes mean love, devotion, ac-
tion, animation, ambition and often
great impulsiveness and impetuosity.
The darker the eyes, the greater the
quantity Of these qualities, the lighter
the eyes the less Of such qualities.

Mrs Rachel Raphael.

Robert Henri, the noted New York
portrait painter, had just exposed
bogus Tintoretto.
Really" he said, "the ignorance on
both sides that is shown in most of
these bogus deals-the ignorance on
the buyers part and the ignorance on
the seIler's-reminds me of story.
"a Third avenue secondhand man
tried to sell chap picture that he
said was a genuine Raphael.
"'But,' said the prospect, this sig
nature doesn't look like Raphael. It
looks more like Rachel to me-
at is Rachel said the dealer.
There's a secret connected with that.
You see, when Raphe painted that pic
ture he was in pretty low water, so for
safety, he put 1t in the wife's name.'"

sented At Once

Attention of holders of 4 per

sue) is called to the following
Government Bond letter:
Under the terms of Treasury
Department circular No. 1877,
dated March 7, 1919, the privi-
lege of converting First Liberty

bonds of the same issue was .ex-
tended for the period beginning
March Z, 1919, until such date as
may be fixed by the Secretary of
the Treasury on six months pub
lie notice. This conversion priv
ilege is in force at the present
time.
"These conversions become ef-
fective on the semi-annual inter-
est payment date next succeed
ing the date of presentation for
conversion: in other words, a 4
per cent. bond of the Second
Liberty Loan, or of the First
Liberty Loan converted. present
ed for conversion prior to Nov

interest at A Ia per cent. until
May Is, 1920, and June Is, 1920,

The Treasury Department has
encouraged conversions of the
outstanding 4 per cent. bonds for
bonds bearing 4 IA per cent. in

there remain outstanding approx
imately $75O,O0O, 100000 of such
bonds which have not been con-
verted. You urged again to call
this matter to the attention of
holders of A per cent. bonds, and
request them to present such
bonds for conversion into bonds
bearing interest at A IA per cent
per annum.
Exchange and conversion can
be arranged for through either

be presented at once. The first
