Correct Game Laws.
To perhaps none but the leading
sportsman of the state, are the game
laws for this fall clear, in view of the
changes made by the last legislature.
A number of incorrect reports relative
to the true laws have been circulating,
and as the open season is only about
two weeks away, it is time for the
huntsman of the state to know exactly
what they can and cannot do. The
open season for a number of game birds
and creatures have been extended,
while the law relative to killing of deer
have been made more stringent than
ever before. It will this season take
an expert to kill his deer in compli
ance with the law, so a little practice
before hand would not come amiss.
The open season for killing game is
as follows:
Plover, number uulimited, July 15 to
December 1.
Doves and shore birds, number un
limited, September 1 to January 1.
Wild water-fowls, umber unlimited
September 1 to April 10, without inter
mission.
Snipe, number unlimited, September
1 to May 1.
Pheasants, five iu one day, twenty in
one week, fifty in one season, October
1 to December 1.
Squirrels, six in one day, October 1
to December 1.
Bears, unlimited, October 1 to March
1.
Wild turkeys, one in a day, four in a
season, October 15 to December 1.
Rabbits, unlimited, October 15 to
December 1. The penalty for taking
a rabbit out of a hole has been removed
and it is now lawful to take them in
any manner during the season.
Quail or partridge, ten in one day,
forty in one week, seventy-five in one
season, November 1 to December 1.
The quail season is unchanged, but ad
ditional provision for the protection of
birds are made. It is unlawful to shoot
or injure quails when bunched upon
the ground; or to kill any game birds
at night; or to kill any game at all by
the use of any gun other than the
kind usually raised at arm's length and
fired from the shoulder.
The change in the deer law is impor
tant. The open season is from Novem
ber 15 to December 1, but hereafter
only male deer with horns may be kill
ed. Does and fawns are absolutely
protected. This became necessary by
reason of the fact that the number ol
hunters is so great that deer in season
are practically driven from cover tc
cover as if they were pursued by dogs.
The penalty for violation of the law ie
#IOO or a day in jail for each dollar,
It will be safest to leave the head or
the carcass to prove the deer killed hac
horns

Accidental Mistakes.
A good one is going the rounds: A
certain business man in a town not lOOl)
miles away was sitting in the office
ilone, enjoying a smoke, when he had
iccasion to use the telephone. He
irose, laid the cigar on the chair and
;ook down the receiver when a friend
jtepped in the offie and started to sit
lown on a chair. Not realizing that
;lie operator could hear what he was
laying and just as she was going to
jay what "number please" in her
iweetest tones, the man yelled, "Look
jut there, you'll burn your pants!"
Communication between him and cen
tral was cut off immediately.
Must Stand Criticism.
The court at Somerset with Judge
Martin 801 l of Blair county, on the
lench, a decision was rendered in the
libel lease against a newspaper that
jeems destined to act as a precedent in
like cases that may be instituted here
after in other courts of the state.
Editor A. Kendall of the Meyersdale
Republican was sued by Clinton A.
Wagner, one time opposition party
candidate for protlionotary, who al
leged the editor had published defama
tory matter about him during the cam
paign.
Judge Bell took the case from the
jury and decided the case in favor of
Kendall. The court held that when a
citizen becomes a candidate for office,
n, paper opposed to him may voice its
sentiments with impunity.
According to the court's decision
any candidate will hereafter be com
pelled to stand the fire of merciless
criticism.
Died Down East.
Last Friday word was received here
of the death of Michael Hacket, pro
prietor of the Medix Run Hotel, who
accompanied by his two children and a
niece were on a visit to Mr. Hacket's
old home at Chatham, N. B. His death
was caused by heart failure. Mr.
Hacket received a fall sometime ago in
which he hurt himself badly and has
been troubled from the effects ever
since, but his death was a great shock
to his friends.
His remains were brought to his old
home at Driftwood on Monday for in
terment. The funeral was held on
Wednesday. His age was 49 year".
Deceased was a widower and is sur
vived by two children, a girl and a boy
aged seven and nine years respective
ly. Also by two brothers, John and
James Hacket, both of whom reside at
Driftwood.
Preferred by Business Men.
Young men and women trained in
the Rochester Business Institute are
sought for positions in the best busi

sistants are what business men con
stantly need, and they have learned
from experience that R. B. 1., gradu

1407 calls for graduates to fill excellent
places within a single year speaks
volumes for the reputation of the

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contain Hercury.
As mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never bo used except on
prescription from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, ()., contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall's catarrh

"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable."— WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1907.
A Woman's View.
Far be it from a mere man, like our
self, to pen an indictment against the
opposite sex. In the first place,we are
boo chrivalous and gallant to do such a
thing. In the second place, it would
aot he safe for us to do it. This con
sideration is incidental, but by no
means to he disregarded. In the third
place, is is not necesaary; for women
mil alw.ays be depended upon to say of
ane another and of their sex generally
ill that needs to be said.
Mrs. Anna A. Rogers in the Septem
ber Atlantic discusses the question,
"Why American Marriages Fail," and
boldly charges her own sex with a large
ihare of responsibility for the growing
prevalence of the divorce evil. Mrs.
Rogers, it may be said in passing, re
fuses to take the view that divorce is
not an evil, but only an attempt to
remedy an evil. Divorce iB an evil,
just astoo ready a resort to the surgeon'e
knife and saw is an evil. "Gentler
remedies," says Mrs. Rogers, "dietary
measures, the daily regime of more in
telligent living, have been known to
spare more than one patient the hor
rors of the operating table. In fact is
not prevention the only genuine mod
ern miracle?"
In the bill of charges, which Mrs.
Rogers brings against her own sex she
specifies: " (1) Woman's failure to
realize that marriage is her work in the
world. (2) Her growing individual
ism. (3) Her lost art of giving, re
placed by a highly developed receptive
faculty."
•'First: Marriage it woman's work
in the world—not man's. From what
ever point it is viewed, physical or
spiritual, as a question of civic polity
or a question of individual ethics, it is
her specific share in the world's work
—first, last, and always; allotted to her
by laws far stronger than she is. And
the woman who fails to recognize it
has the germ of divorce in her veins at
the outset. * * * Why should she
not be taught the plain fact that no
other work really important to the
world has ever been done by a woman
since "the morning of the world?"
Only as a woman, with all that that en
tails upon her, is she alone, pre-emin
ent, unapproachable. And yet appar
ently her whole energy is to-day bent
upon dethroning herself."
Mrs. Rogers sees in the growing in
dividualism of the American woman
only another name for the worship of
Self. "She has not merged her fate
with her husband's if married, nor
with her father's, if not; she does not
properly supplement their lives, she
is striving for a detached profitless in
dividuality."
We shall quote but one yiore para
graph',from this thoughtful and timely
article. Upon her third point Mrs.
Rogers says:"ln India an affection
which asks for an equal,return so many
heart-beats for a like number, is called
'shop-keeping." Among us Wertern
ers this Eastern exalted faculty of giv
ing affection, and not looking for an
equal exchange of commodities, has
dogeneratedi into a sott of passion foi
sentimental bargains! Unfortunately,
there are no genuine psychic bargains
thrown out on life's counter. The
really good spiritual things cost the
most do,as the material things. Succeße
in any undertaking, even marriage, if
always both shy and obstinate, and
hides behind quite a thorny hedge o!
persistence, hard work, unsefishness,
and above all, patience, a quality now
gone out of fashion, which made our
grandmothers civilizing centers o!
peace and harmony; for they were con
tent to use slow curative measures to
mend their matrimonial ailments, and
the "knife" was looked upon witt
horror. One findß so often in the
women of that generation a strange
quiet as of wisdom long digested; a
deep abiding strength, an aloofness ol
personality that makes for dignity;
sweet old faces that bear the marks ol
"love's grandeur." What is there to
day in all this fret and fuss aud fury ol
feminine living, that compares with
the power for good of those wonderful
old women, fast disappearing?"
To check a cold quickly, get from
your druggist some little (Jandy Cold
Tablets called Preventics. Druggists

A Correction.
In our last issue in our account of the
leath of Mr. Rosetti's child we were
misinformed as to his nationality, it
should have read "French" instead of
Italian.
Killed at Olcan.
Mrs. Carrie Meyers, of Springfield,
Mass., a professioal balloonist fell from
i parachute over a thousand feet above
the fair grounds at Oiean last Monday.
Every bone in her body was broken.
A Good Sign.
We are informed that the proprietor
of one of our hotels has posted a sign
in his house announcing that he will
not permit gambling. There can be
only one thing associated with cards
(or any other game) that is worse than
gambling, and that is cheating.
Bought a Farm.
L. S. Fisk has purchased a farm on
West Creek, where he will putin all
his spare time while not engaged at
his planing mill, and expects to be able
next year to have an exhibit at the fair
that will make the eyes of our old farm
ers water. We do not know what he
intends to raise but we presume it is
Indian turnips.
County Sunday School Conven
tion.
The sixth annual convention of the
County Sunday School Association
held in the Baptist Church on Monday
and Tuesday, was the best attended
and moßt enthusiastic gathering of the
kind yet held in Cameron county. The
Rev. C. F. Irwin, of Bellevue, and Miss
Ermina, Lincoln, of Philadelphia rep
resented the State Association. A full
report of the proceedings will appear
in our columns next week.
Not a Debatable Issue.
The Democratic candidate for State
Treasurer indicates that it is his pur
pose to make the issue in the campaign
the retention of a representative of the
minority party on the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings, says Philadel
phia Press.
If there is any iksue concerning that
board it is the clearing its membership
of the auditing and accounting officers
of the State, and that would take away
the State Treasurer, as it should. The
Capitol Investigating Commission
recommend that in its report to the
Governor, and there is very little doubt
that Governor Stuart will recommend
it in his message to the next Legisla
ture.
The proposition was met with practi
cally unanimous favor. Every Demo
cratic newspaper, as well as every Re
publican newspaper which has com
mented on it, has given it approval.
It is obviously wrong that officials whe
are to pass upon contract work shall
be in a position to make the contracts,
audit the accounts and pay them. II
affords no check of any kind where tb«
officials may be careless or dishonest
That this will be radically changed bj
the next Legislature can be set dowr
as very certain.
Meantime it is not a question of put
ting a Democrat on the board. Whai
is wanted is that the board, as long ai
it must exist, shall be constituted o
vigilant, eareful men who have populai
confidence. Does not Governor Stuari
meet that requirement? Does not
Auditor General Young meet itl
Would not John O. Sheatz as StaU
Treasurer meet it completely? Noi
even the most virulent of the opposi
tion organs has assumed to questioi
the personal integrity of Mr. Sheatz
and those who are honest with them
selves have frankly conceeded both hit
independence and unimpeachable char
acter.
Yielding all the Democrats claim foi
their candidate he could do no more t(
protect the interest of the Suite, 1
elected, than the Republican nomineef
will do, and Mr. Sheatz's public recorc
! is justly accepted as assurance of that
i Our Democratic friends evidently mis
j understand the present conditions
i Every demand for a watchful, faithful,
i honest management of the State fin
i ances will be met by the election of Mr
j Sheatz.
| The Democratic candidate's pretend
' ed issue has nothing to stand upon in
I the face of such facts. When the peo
pie can put a man like Mr. Sheatz or
guard they have nothing to fear.

With tLie continued advance in the
price of paper stock, ink, and in fact
about everything that goes into the
manufacture of a newspaper, we often
wonder what a publisher that is carry

thinks of the "sliding scale of rates."
If there is a profit in such a business,
there is certainly a secret about the
publishing business we have never
caught onto.—-Ex.

suffers the most abuse for the money
she receives, who does the most favors
that are unappreciated by those upon
whom they are conferred; who knows
more about men than the sociologist
does; more about women than the offi

The Dull Child.
Among other interesting topics dis
cussed at the Round Table conference
of city teachers recently was one con
cerning the dull child, says the Al
toona Tribune. Parents and teachers
know that he exists. Frequently he
tortures- them. No less frequently
they torture hins. He is at their mer
cy. When he becomes unbearable
they do something. But he, poor
chap, has no refuge from the burden
of adult boredom. He is obliged to
Bubmit to overwhelming authority and
power.
It was brought out by the discussion
that the dull lad is not always the
feeble and profitless man. One of the
speakers half humorously, half seri
ously, depreciated the existence of un
usual "brightness" among children.
The infant genius usually disappoints
the hopes of his friends. He becomes
an adult inanity. On the other hand
tho blockhead of the schools often be
comes the man of affairs. In such
cases it may have been the teacher
who was the blockhead. Such things
sfre not impossible.
The child whom the ignorant parents
or the careless teacher puts down as a
dullard may simply be misunderstood.
There are children whose timidity and
sensitiveness throw them into a per
fect stuper of fright when menaced
by punishment for failure to obey a
misunderstood or unheard command.
The superficial and impatient adult
who has to deal with them declares
they are stubborn and rebellious, de
serving severe punishment. If the
punishment follow, the child may be
thrown into paroxmys of fright. It is
a fearful thing to deal unjustly with
a timid and a sensitive little one who
may also be suffering from defective
bearing or imperfect vision.
