ALASKA GAME LAW
 UNDER FIRE AGAIN

Interpretation of the Alaska Game afternoon in the court of Commis sioner H. B. LeFevre Yesterday afternoon, Jimmie Watson, native was arrested and charged with hay ing killed four deer, at Point Hugh the slain animals being found on his gas boat which was tied up to a wharf in Juneau Attorney J. B Marshall made a demurrer for the dismissal of the case and cited the following statute of the Alaska game law
 xemption-Nothing in this act shall affect any law in force in Al aska, relating to fur seal, sea otter, or any fur bearing animal or pre- or bird for food or clothing at any time by natives, or by miners, Or by explorers, when in need of food , but the game animal or bird so killed during the closed season shall not be shiped Or sold"
 Attorney Marshall demurred also to the complaint sworn to in sec'lr- ing the warrant. United States At torney James A. Smiser asked to amend the complaint charging kill ing of deer out of season and with shipping deer Commissioner Le Fevre granted the request and the trial will come up tomorrow forenoon at 10 o'clock.
 Before the amended complaint was agreed too, Judge LeFevre was of the opinion that the warran: should be declared void, in view oi the statute regarding killing ol game, and the way the complaint was originally drawn. Attorney Mar shall argued that the native had | right at any time to kill deer for food or clothing.
 A. NJ. Bailey, fur warden in the Department of Agriculture, made the original complaint. He stated this afternoon to Judge LeFevre that the case was brought in order that the present statutes of the game laws could be tested and if found made quate, new ones made.

But youth runs out to play
And finds In storms thing that
warns
Its pulses all the way
1t is the contest so intense
With Winters angry elements.
The weak perspire beside the fire
And SILVER with the cold;
Ihe sturdy go to meet the snow
With hearts increasing bold,
With hearts made stronger by the
gale,
Whatever arrows may assail.
The timid groan, the timid moan.
When troubles cloud the sky:
The brave 60 out and do not doubt.
Unfriendly fate defy,
And find each contest bravely met
Makes each contestant drawer vet.
When thunders roll before your goal
What will your answer be?

Or from the norther flee?
Does Winter drive you to your fire.
Or each new storm new strength
inspire?

IERNESrINE has an origin Of lofty

ogy. the eagle occupied a position Of
great respect and even alteration
among the ancients. and his name.
with various sufIlxes and prefxes. fur
nished many Of the c0gn0mens then In
vogue.
In Scotland the word for eagle was
''erne" and the name was found In all
countries where there were mountains.
the homeland Of the king Of birds.
Arnridur, or Arneidur, was the first
Of the eagle ladies. She was said to
be the daughter of Asbi0rn, Of tho
Hebrides, who was sold to an Ice
lander named Katell Thymr. This
lady had the good fortune to find q
quantity Of silver sufficient for her
ransom beneath the roots Of q tree, but
she decided to remain the wife Of
Thymr and goes down in history as
one of the famous women Of Iceland.
The next step In the evolution OF
Ernestine was Arnthora, and later An
nora, who was the wife of Bernard de
st. Valeyr. Her name was carried in
to the family Of Braose by King Johns
victim, Maude de st. Valery, who
called one Of her daughters Annora.
The masculine Ernesto. which pre-
coded Ernestine directly. appeared

had known better than to commit such
an outrage upon the pOssess0r of

prayer instead. This had answered
quite as well, for the phantom pig had
dissolved like the morning mists.
While the sun blazed, what with his
devOtions and his rabbits foot and

Cookie felt fair degree Of security.
But his teeth chartered in his head
at the thought of approaching night.
Meanwhile he could not in conscience
permit ME to venture forth into the
path Of this horror, which might, for
all we knew, be lurking in the jun

For all my brave words to Cookie,

Of a low ridge, perhaps four hundred

WHAT CHILDREN READ

ton.
In fact, Adam and Eve were. In all
probability, the only proud parents in
all history who never said. "Children
did not do such things when we were
young"
The very latest discovery that has
been made about the little boys and
girls OF America is that their taste
In reading is quite different from that
Of their elders at the same age.
1t appears that they are finding
rather dull some Of the things that
appealed to the youngsters Of former
days, and IRE demanding more excite
ment than is good for them.
1t is well. in thinking about such a
subject. always to remember that older
people have weakness for consider
Ing any such change in taste as for the
worse.
That is the compliment that matur-
tty pays to itself.
The great trouble is that we don't
remember what we really cared for
when we were small.
Many Of the things that we were
supposed to enjoy we didn't really like
until we grew up. Others that were
forced on us for our good were spoiled
for lis forever.
Children have no sense Of subtlety,
or irony. This is natural.
They read "Alice in Wonderland, -
or "Gulliver's Travels" or 1.-THE Ara
blan Nights" for the straight story,
not for any secondary meaning that
Is beyond them.
A clever American woman suggests
that the children, especially in a big
family. should be encouraged to write
stories Of wild adventure for each
other.
This is not so impossible or far
fetched as it seems.
A good example came to light re.
Gently In the case Of the children of
Theodore Roosevelt.
That many-sided man was child
among his sons and daughters until
the very last.
His letters to them, full of action
as they are. and illustrated by him.
