Night Hunting WARMING

Hunters are being cautioned bv
the Department Of Inland Fisheries
and Game TO observe the provisions
of the night hunting law. Owing to
complaints in some sections that
shots have been heard after sunset
the department feels that sportsmen
should be warned. The law is found
in Section 10, Chapter 1856. Public
Laws of 1919. which provides that
There shall be a closed sea son on
wild birds in this State from sunset
to half an hour before sunrise of the
following morning and on wild ami
mails from one hour after sunset I'M
til one hour before sunrise of the
following morning. No person shall
have in possession any. wild bird or
wild animal or part thereof. Who
ever violates any provision of this
section shall pay a fine of not less
than $40 nor more than $50 and costs
for each offence.
The penalty for killing any pro-
tected wild birds or animals in vio-
lation of this section shall be the
same as is now imposed therefor
during other closed season. The sec
ton also does not apply to hunting
raccoons at night from Aug. Is to
Oct. 81 inclusive each year.

than an idea of the manuscript read
there by the fire that night. 1t was
narrative and reflection and contained
the story of the life of Arthur DobsOn,
known to me heretofore as Mr.. Sid
ney. shall give extracts from it:
"A family is an odious imposition
of cruel conventionalities upon indi-
viduals who, accepting conventions,
however odious and cruel, are helpless.
The bond of blood is one no animal
(animals being rationalistic) tOlerates,
even recognizes, but it is imposed up
on human beings, who find that the
most antagonistic natures must rec
oncile themselves to an arbitrary rule
of life which can come only to hide
BUSINESS.
"There were in our family two chill
dren, my brother Richard and myself.
Our parents were the ordinary folk
who marry and have family. My
father was an uncOmmunicative man,
whether from a habit of silence or
lack of anything to say, l do not
know.

gentle but, l imagine, futile. 1 think

simist. l know no more comic figure
than an undertaken, no more gigantic
shaft of human egotism than a tomb
stone.
Mr.. Sidney, we found, had left brief
but explicit directions for his burial.
This, in the case Of a man with life
so well conceived, was strange, but
his wishes, as we found them, were
simple and startling. He was to be
buried by the river, close to the pool
which had been invested with the add
ed charm Of ghOst-story. His grave
was to be marked by an unostenta-
tiOus stone. The inscription was to
be as he directed in a note in sealed
enclosure to be opened at the time
Mrs. Sidney thought appropriate.
1t might be, he had written, that
Mrs. Sidney would not want the stone
erected during her life. Her wishes
were to be consulted. When the grave
was marked, If 1t ever was, the IN
Mrs. Sidney, acquainted with the
terms OF this extraordinary mortuary
note, said that 1t was her wish to have
the sealed envelope opened immediate
ly and its Instructions carried out.
Christmas night had set in, and the
place was fairyland of glistening
white. ar-off-church-bells sounded
family across the snow. In the in
creasing cold, following the abatement
of the storm, timbers in the old house
creaked and snapped, and when one Of
the people Of the house, on an outdoor
chore, passed within earshot, the sound
of footsteps was audible and the crisp
crunching which, even as does high
wind, emphasizes the comfort Of
secure and warm shelter.

ney's instructions to open the sealed
enclosure were received.

brief note, as follows:
