TUB PAKSON'S VACATION.
HV LOUIS KISKNHEIS.
Oue of oar readers who In fearful that the
preachers will not Ret their ,hare of roBHtlnn.
,enrtV u the following with the request that
we publish It. nou't be too hard upon them,
brother: you kpow we mluht some day feel the
need of their aid to save us from Jut what we
ure now trying to Indict on them. Editor.
The old man went to niootin', for the
day was brinht and fair, '
ThoiiRh his limbs wore very totterln',
and 'twas hard to travel there;
Out he hungered for the gospel, bo he
trudged the weary way,
On the road so rough and dusty, 'neath
the summer's burning ray.
Uy und by he reached the buildln', to
his soul a holy place;
Then he paused, and wiped the swea
drops olT his thin and wrinkled face;
Hut he looked around bewildered, for
the old bell did not toll ;
All the doors were shut and bolted, and
he didn't see a soul.
So he leaned upon his crutches, and he
said, "what does it mean ?"
And he looked this way and that, till
it seemed almost a dream;
Ho had walked the dusty highway, and
ho breathed a hoavy sigh
Just to go once more to meeting', e're
the summons come to die.
Hut he saw a little notice, tacked upon
the meetin' door,
So he limped along to read it. and he
read it o'er and o'er;
Then he wiped his dusty glasses, and
ho read it o'er again,
Till his limbs began to tremble, and his
eyes began to pain.
As the old man read the notice, how it
made his spirit burn !
"Pastor absent on vacation, church Is
closed till his returne"
Then he stnggered slowly backward,
and he sat him down to think,
For his soul was stirred within him, till
he thought his heart would sink.
So he mused aloud, and wondered, to
himself soliloquized
"I have lived to almost eighty, and was
never so surprised,
As I read that oddest notice, stickin'
on the meetin' door ,
'Pastor o IT on a vacation' neved heard
the like before !
Why when I first jined tho meetin,' very
many years ago,
1 Yeachers traveled on the circuit, in the
heat and through the snow;
1 f they got their clothes and vlttlls.(twas
but little cash they got.
They said 'nothin' 'bout vacation, but
were happy in their lot.
Would the farmer leave his cattlo, or
tlip shepherd leave his sheep?
Who would give them care and shelter,
or provide them food to eat?
So it strikes me very singlor, when a
man of holy hands,
Thinks he needs to have vacation, and
forsukes the tender lambs.
Did St. Paul git sucn a notion, did a
Wesley or a Knox ?
Did they in the heat of summer, turn
away their needy flocks?
Did they shut their meetin' houses,
just to go and lounge about?
Why they knew if they did, Satan cer
tainly would shout.
Do the taverns close their bar rooms,
just to take a little rest?
Why 'twould be the height of nonsense,
for their trade would bedistressed.
Did you ever know it happen, or hear
anybody tell,
Satan tukin' a vacation, shuttin' up
the doors of hell ?
And shall preachers of the gospel,
pack their trunks, and go away,
Lcavin' saints and dyln' sinners, git
along as best they may ;
Are the souls of saints and sinners,
valued less than sellin' beer ?
Or do preachers tire quicker, than the
rest of mortals here ?
Why it is, I cannot answer, but my
feelln's, they are stirred ;
Here Pve dragged my tottorin' foot
steps, for to hear the gospel word,
liut the preacher is a travelln' and
the meetin' house is closed ;
I confess it's very tryln', hard Indeed
to keep composed.
Tell me, when I tread the valley, and
go up the shinin' height,
Will I hear no angel singing will I
see no gleaming light ?
Will the golden harps be Bilent will
I meet no welcome there ?
Why the thought is most distractin',
'twould bo more than I could boar
Tell me ! when I reach the city, over
on the other shore,
Will I find a little notice, tacked upon
the golden door,
Tellin' me, mid dreadful silence, writ
in words that cut and burn
'Jesus absent on vacation Heaven
closed till his return?1"

STATE GAME LAWS.
Carefully Prepared Summary By
fhc Secretary of the State
Game CoinmlHHioiV.
coMrn.u) nr johkph HAt.arris.
The lines attached to the viola
tions of the several sections of the
act of June 4, 1897, must be paid
with costs of prosecution or the
convicted party serve one day in
jail for each dollar of penalty im
posed. There shall be no hTunting or
shooting on Sunday; penalty $25.
Section 1 of the act of May 14,
1889, says : "That no person in
any of the counties of this com
monwealth shall kill, wound, trap,
net, snare, catch with birdlime, or
with any similar substance.poison
or drug, any bird of song or lin
net." Here follows quite a long
list of bird9 of Pennsylvania, in
cluding the yellow hammer or
flicker, and closes with tho words,
"or any wild bird other than a
game bird;" penalty not less than
$10 nor more than $50. This act
is unrepealed and still the law of
the state.
Section 2 of the act of June 4,
1897, after quoting a lengthy list
of the birds of Pennsylvania, says:
"Nor shall any person purchase
or have in possession, or expose
for sale, any of the aforesaid song
or wild birds or the game mam
mals killed or taken in this state
except as herein after provided"
(for scientific purposes only, un
der a certificate of the game com
mission.) Penalty $10. This is
still the law and should be used by
those interested in bird protec
tion, to prevent the killing of our
wild birds for decorative or other
purpose.
The destruction of the nests of
eggs of wild birds is forbidden ex
cept for strictly scientific pur
poses under the certificate of the
game commission. Bond, $100;
fee, $5; penalty, $10.
The killing of game birds and
game animals prohibited except
with a gun held to the shoulder.
Penalty $50.
But two deer can be killed in
one season by one person and
then only during the month of
November. Penalty $100.
Deer must not be killed or cap
tured in the waters of the state,
and the running of deer with dogs
is prohibited. Penalty $100.
Dogs found running deer can
be killed by any person and the
owner shall havo no recourse
whatever.
It is unlawful for any person to
kill in any one day more than ten
pheasants, or more than fifteen
quails, or more than ten wood
cock or more than two wild tur
keys. Penalty $50
Pheasants, wild turkeys, quail
and woodcock can be killed only
from October 15 to the 15th of
December, inclusive. Penalty $10
for each bird, except that wood
cock can be killed during the
month of July.
All manner of trapping of game
'is prohibited, except that quails
can be trapped from January 1 to
Fehruary 15 for the purpose of
keeping them alive during the
winter, and all quail must be re
leased in the same neighborhood
as soon as the weather will por-
mit in the spring.
All manner of devices for the
deception of game is prohibted,
penalty $50, except that decoys
may be used in the hunting of
web-footed fowls.
Rabbits can be killed from Nov.
1 to Dec. 15, inclusive. Penalty
$10. The use of ferrets in hunt
lug is prohibited. Penalty $25,
prima facie evidence of intent to
use the same.
Grey, black and fox squirrels
can be killed from Oct. 15 to Dec.
15, inclusive. Peualty $10. ' Red
or piue squirrels are not protect
ed.
The purchase or sale of phcas
ant, quail, woodcock, wild turkey
and deer is prohibited. Penalty
$25. All other game of the state
can bo sold within tho state, ex
coot wild pigeons, thb capture or
sale of 'which is forbidden in the
county of Tioga.
The shipment or carrying out
of the state of its game birds or
game mammals is prohibited.
Penalty not less than $50 nor
more than $100.
All persons and common car
riers, such as railroads, express
companies or stages, are abso
lutely forbidden to carry said
game out of the state. Penalty
not less than $100.
Section S3 of the game act of
June 1878, provides that "nothing
in this act will prevent any per
sons from killing any wildamtr.al
or bird when found destroying
gram, fruits or vegetables on his
or her promises." This section
has not boon repealed.
By tho act of April 11, 1901,
ov. i.ers or lessees of real estate
are permitted to kill rabbits at all
seasons of the yenr, where said
rabbits are destroying crops or
fruit trees, aud for no other pur
pose or reason.
The act of March 22, 189,
makes the constables of the state
ex officio forestry, game and fish
wardens, and requires them to
prosecute all violations of the for
estry, fish or game laws coming
under their immediate notice or
reported to them in writing in a
manner prescribed by said act.
The penalty for neglecting or re
fusing to so act is $50 or two
months' imprisonment.
Prosecutions can be brought
by any person and one half of the
penalties go to the informer. All
prosecutions must be brought
within one year from tho time of
the offense.
NATURAL ANXIETY.
Mothers regard approaching
winter with uneasiness, children
take cold so easily. No disease
costs more little lives than croup.
It's attack is so sudden that the
sufferer is often beyond human
aid before the doctor arrives.
Such cases yield readily to One
Minute Cough Cure. Liquifies
tho mucus, allays inflammation,
removes danger. Absolutely safe.
Acts immediately. Cures cough,
colds, grip, bronchitis, all throat
and lung trouble. F. S. McMahon
Hampton, On : "A bad cold ren
dered me voiceless just before an
oratical contest. I intended to
withdraw but took One Minute
Cough Cure. It restored my voice
in time to win the medal."
