Every man who hunts or fishes
should provide himself with a copy
of the game atid fish laws, which
will be sent him free on application
to the state game commissioner at
Harrisburg. When he wishes to
ascertain what the law is in regard
to any class of game or fish he
hould begin at the back end of the
book and leaf backward toward the
front end of the book. Many laws
in the front part of the book have
been repealed by later acts. Practi
cally everything that flies, swims or
runs is protected by these laws dur

the penalty for the violation of any
game. law 48 not less than ten dol

the law is not considered an excuse.
The best thing a sportsman can do
is to get a copy of the game laws
and read up for himself and be bis

Entitled to Re-Election.
The following article is taken
from the Bellcfontc Watchman own
ed and edited by Senator P. Gray
Meek, secretary of the Democratic
State Organization :
Associate Judge William Krick
baum, of Bloomsburg, is a candi
date for the nomination of his party
to succeed himself. It is a rule of
his party in Columbia county to
give two terms whenever the law
permits and the incumbent deserves
the favor ! Judge Krickbaum has
served one term with credit to him
self and advantage to the county.
He has made enemies but they are
of the class that makes right-minded
men love him. He has anta
gonized the element in the county
which disturbs the peace and im
perils the tranquility of society.
Judge Krickbaum is accused of
being a partisan and his friends in
his behalf "own the soft impeach
ment." He believes in the politi
cal tenets enunciated by Jefferson
and strengthened by Jackson and in
his capacity as a private citizen he
contends for them with zeal and
energy. But on the bench he is
neither partisan nor political. In
official robes he knows only his
duty and in the performance of it
he is guided by conscience both
active and intelligent. "With ma
lice toward none and charity for
all," he "hews to the line, let the
chips fall where they may."
There are especial reasons why
Democrats of Columbia county
should elect an earnest and virile
Democrat to the office of Associate
Judge this year. Because of a dis
agreement which was without rea
son and not entirely free from sus
picion, the splendid young Demo
crat who was the choice of the
party in the county, Hon. John
Harman, wafdefeated for'election
at the polls, last year, and a Repu
blican elected. In the matter of
adjudicating differences between
litigants it doesn't matter much
whether the judge is of one party
or the other. But in construing
laws and policies the political train
ing of a man is of the greatest con
sequence, and having elected a
Republican to the presidency of the
court, it is a political necessity to
elect a capable and earnest Demo
crat to the office of Associate Judge.
Mr. Krickbaum measures up to the
standard and he ought to be nomi
nated and elected. Adv. it.

THE CARRIER'S SUGGESTIONS.
1. You will be doing your car
rier a great favor if you always
stamp your mail before putting
same in box, or use government
stamped envelopes, and al ivays put
return upon left hand corner. This
will guarantee delivery or return cf
letter.
2. If you should not happen to
have stamps or stamped envelopes
wrap the amount up in paper, re
membering that in cold weather if
the money is put in the box loose,
the carrier has to take off his gloves
or mittens to get hold of these
loose pennies.
3. Always put stamp upon the
upper right hand corner. If you
should spoil a government stamped
envelope your carrier or postmaster
will redeem it with stamps or pos
tal cards at post office.
4. YV hen addressing a letter to
one who is not a regular patron of
a rural route or post office you
should mark on the envelope" in
wiiose care the letter or package
should go.
5. In addressing your letters do
not write above the middle of the
envelope, as the address may be
partly blurred by being struck with
the post-marking stamp.
0. In regard to boxes help your
carrier by having a good one in a
good easy place to arive up to, and
always have your mail ready.
7. If you have visitors who are
expecting mail, you should give
tne carrier tlieir names.
8. Any mail matter deposited
in box is subjected to ordinary post
age rates.
9. Packages should be well
wrapped and securely tied, and all
valuable letters and packages
should be registered, which costs 8
cents in addition to regular postage.
1 111s insures sate delivery and re
turn receipt.
10. The mail boxes are protect
ed by the government, any one
tampering with them not interested
should be reported to your carrier
or postmaster.
TO THE PUBLIC.

There is an old, old story that
at one time the Governor of North
Carolina and the Governor of South
Carolina were personal enemies.
and for years had not spoken to
each other. They were obliged to
meet at some interstate function,
and all watched to see what thev
would do. They shook hands in a
formal manner, each one seemed
somewhat embarrassed, and final
ly a Governor asked : "Don't you
uvulc, sir, that it is a long time
between drinks?" As we said at
the beginning, this was a long time
ago. The governors of the two
states met at the Jamestown exposi
tion the other day, and it develop
ed that each one is a teetotaler, that
the temperance sentimeut in their
state does not tolerate drinking
men in public office, and that it is
indeed, a long time between drinks.
The temperance cause is certainly
prospering.

HANG OUT THE FLAG.
The sons of the Revolution of
New York have sent out a circular
giving the dates upon which Old
Glory should be displayed by patri
otic people, of the land. On this
question there has been some mis
understanding in the past, and
those who are in doubt will do well
to paste the official dates of the
New York organization in their
hats. The days upon which the
flag should be displayed are as fol
lows :
Lincoln's birthday. Feb. 12.
Washington's birthday, Feb. 22.
Battle of Lexington, April 19.
Memorial Day, May 30. (On
Memorial Day, May 30, the flag
should fly at half mast from sun
rise to noon and full staff from noon
to sunset.)
Flag Day, June 14.
Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17.
Battle of Saratoga, Oct. 17.
Evacuation Day, rsov. 25.
Those who see fit may omit the
last three days on the list, but there
is no excuse for the man who will
neglect to observe the other occa
sions. As the symbol of patriotism the
stars and stripes should be kept be
fore the rising generation upon
every occasion possible. Let those
who believe that this is the great
est land upon earth renew allegi
ance by the display of national
colors early and often upon the
holidays, memorial davs and flag
