The Game Laws, There are three important times in a man's life when he is bcrn, when he marries, and when he dies. And even then his own importance is over-shadowed by tha curiosity to know if he is a boy or a girl, what the bride wore, and what he left in bis will. Vain man, you don't cut much figure in this, world. He Dreamed of the Assassination. "It may seem incredible to you," remarked E. F. Hall, the south side lumberman, to a Weies representative yesterday, "but I had a strange experi ence on the Monday night previous to the shooting of President McKinley, when I had a vivid dream that the President had been murdered. So shocking was the impression of the crime that on the following morning I spoke ot it to my wife and remarked upon its peculiar distinctness. More than once during the following da) the horror of the dream occurred to me, but I attached no importance to it. When the news came that the be loved President had been stricken down by an assassin, the experience of my dream was repeated." Renova Yen's. A girl of a nearby town, named Jessie, was sent to a famous eastern school, and after a year's time wrote to dad, signing "Jessica." In reply the old man wrote: "Dear Jessica your welcome letter received. Mam ica and papica are well. Aunt Mary ica and Georgeica started for Califor oica yesterday. I have bought a new horseica, and it is a beautica. ft's name is Monica. Your brother Tomica is doing finely and the hired girl is a peachica." The next lettei that came was signed "Jessie." The following letters are held at the Bloomsburg, Pa., postoffice, and will be sent to the dead letter office Oct. 1, 1901. Persons calling for these letters will please say "that they fere advertised Sept. 17,1901": Samuel Knorr, F. Miller, Earnest Miller, Miss Cora Miller, Miss Fan nie Neyhart, W. C. Nichols, Miss Grace Sutliff, F. H. Smiley, II. A. Smith, Miss Louie Wagner. Cards : Mary Plotzer. One cent will be charged on each xtter advertised. O. B. Mellick, P. M. A New Tresspass Law. The farmer will find among recent acts ot assembly one that will assure him protection from an objectionable form of trespass that has annoyed him for years. It provides a penalty for wilfull tresspass by gunners upon culti vated lands. All the framer needs to do is to give the public notice forbid ing trespass. The act imposes a fine ot $5 for each offense and payment of costs. Information may be lodged be fore any justice of the peace or alder man. The defendent will have the right of appeal, but if convicted and fined, half the fee will go to the owner or lessee of the land and the remairv ing half to the school district. Re fusal to pav the fine will involve going to jail for a period not exceeding three months. to Lose. Every thing to Gain.

It is well for gunners to note that the fines are heavy and also to note that informers will receive one-half of the fines imposed. As there are many pot hunters here abouts who hunt rabbits out of season it might be worth while for legitimate sportsmen to employ detectives to watch the violators of the law and make an example of a few, which would quickly oreak up the pernicious practice. A strict enforcement of the laws for a few years will greatly facili tate the restocking of the woods of the State with game and every community should have an organization for the purpose.

The census bureau issued a bulletin giving the mortality statistics duiing he census year in the states and tern tones and the principal registration cities. The total number of deaths reported tor the year was 1,000,094, is against 841,419 for jSqo. Perhaps the most, important feature of the re sults presented is found in tne decreas ed death rate in the registration area of 1.8 per 1,000 of population, a de crease ot nearly ten per cent. The average age at death in 1890 was 11.1 years; in 1800 it was 35.2 years. The Individual Wbo Complains Have you ever noticed that the in dividual who gets the fewest letters makes the most complaint to the post master? It is also the man who never had a square meal at home who growls at the hotel accomodations; the person who complains most of his neighbors is the meanest of the lot; the church member who pays the least to the preacher's salary finds the most fault with his preaching and always com plains of the bad management of the church, anl the subscriber who is the slowest to pay his subscription finds the mott fault with the local paper, unless it is the fellow who don't take it at all and borrows his neighbor's copy to read.
