R. favida of Sunbury has turned his attention from judic ial to executive activities in a re markable way. While hunting for deer in the haunt of the Blue Ridge, his partv came upon a num ber of hunters who had accidentally or intentionally shot a doe. Knowing full well the severe penalty imposed for this transgres sion of the game laws, they tied ' and left the dead animal behind. Judge Savidge secured a game war- ' den and told him what had hap-' pened. Then with the warden's authority, he took the doe to Sun bury. He carted it himself in a ; wheelbarrow to a butcher shop, had j it dressed and sent it out to the Mary M. Packer hospital, at which , place the delicate meat was served to the convalescing patients. j Consequently, although the law was broken, the transgressors did not reap the Decent ot their crime while real good was done bv turn-1 ing the deer over to the hospital. The law provides that where a deer is killed accidentally in viola tion ot the law, it shall be turned over to a charitable institution. Nation Employs 370.065.

There has been considerable talk recently about the extension of the territory of the District of Colum bia so as to take in Alexandria and portions cf Virginia which were at one time a part of the District. The re-annexing of portions of Alexan dria County is not a local question but will affect the State of Virgin ia.

The Department of Justice has under consideration a proposal that the Government shall enter suit against the State of Colorado to re cover the value of 35,000 acres of mineral land wuich, it is said, passed into State control by fraud.

"Queen Kleua of Itily," says Kelh-gg Dulind in l' nut n't ."? C. ''"''"' for December, ' is one of the most unpopular queens iu Kurope. Her court, which, to meet the tastes of lier people, should be bright, popular, brilliant, is really the dullest, the most stu pid in the Western world. I have lived in many countries, and I am more cr Ies familiar with all the courts of Europe, but never have I heard a queen so universally spok en of with disrespect and disapprov I al by her own court Queen Elena, , in an American phras-e, 'plays to : ; the gallery,' then retires. She, i garners the wheat and ignores the , chaff. She is quick to figure in . dramatic exploits, but reluctant to ; submit to the daily gtind. "Rightly or wrongly, Queen El-; ena has the reputation among her , 1 own people for being the stingiest ' queen in Europe. Apparently this ; is true. She patronizes almost noth : ing at all regularly, and if once in ; a while she lends her name to ap-1 j pear cu a public bill, it usually ' 1 means this and nothing more. As ' 1 far as is known, she gives less to : charity, in proportion to her means, ; than any queen. If the wo'ld at large appreciated to what extent ! she has carried her ideas of simplic ity iu dres, the glamour that sur rounds her won. d fade. It is im possible to worship a dowd espec ially if she be a queen, with all the : sp.endor and taste of the world at her hand. No More New Orleans Molasses ? Icouoclasm is rampant in the Agricultural Department and the referee board is asked to wipe out the term ' New Orleans mohsses." It is declared that nothing can be found in the market which bears the least resemblance to what once was kuowu as New Orleans molass es. It is explained that molasses making processes have been revolu tionized and that now three differ ent grades of syrup are made where before but one existed. As an offset to this contention legal authorities assert that any molasses made in Louisiana should be entitled to the name New Or l.aus molasses. Manutacturers out side the state seek to do away with that time honored designation, and the trouble comes from this trade rivalry.
