Harrisburg, Jan. 10. Tho state gnmo commission has promised to glvo Its support to a movement to bo started this spring In favor of tho enactment by the next legislature of a hunter's license law similar to those now in force in New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, ana many of the Western and Southern states. Such a law was proposed in a bill before the legislative session of 1907, but failed to receive sufficient votes in the house. Since that time the state game commission's wardens have Deen enre- fully noting the complaints made by farmers about trespassing by hunters and investigatThg accidents, so that state authorities believe tho time is ripe to pass such a bill In Pennsyl vania. The proposed bill would place a tax of $1 upon every hunter, no mat ter whether he went for a day's hunt or went out on a two week's chase of deer. The licenses could be Issued in such a manner thnt a number could be traced in case a hunter damaged a Held or shot a calf. This plan has been tried successfully In New Jersey and the state game authorities have resolved to do what they can to have it passed in this state.

It is Desired by Postmasters That Patrons Provide Themselves With Stamps. Tho government has sent out a letter to postmasters and rural car riers, extract of which follow: "From a recent count made by rural carriers, of coins deposited by patrons in their boxes for the pur chase of stamp supplies, it was found that each carrier was collecting an uverage of 115 one cent coins each week; or the enormous total of 300, 000,000 cent coins. As most of these coins are deposit ed loose in boxes, It Is desirable that the patrons provide themselves with stamp supplies in advance of their needs, or to equip their boxes with suitable coin holding receptacles. The picking up of loose coins from boxes not only results In needless hnrdshlps and suffering to carrier in winter weather, delays the delivery and collection of malls, but frequent ly results in actual money loss to the carrier, for If, In collecting coins from the boxes they drop them into the snow or on the ground without re covery, they are required to replace the amount out of their own funds. Place no pennies in the rural mail boxes or in the mail box in front of the local postofflce. Sometimes let ters are dropped into this box with out stamps or pennies and tho post master is at a loss to know who put pennies in and who did not, conse quently all the lettors without stamps are likely to bo held up. PICKING A HORSE. A British cavalry, speaking of horses, said: "Give mo a free hand and 1 should pick a roan that Is, for good temper and quick learning. Bark grays and blacks aro mostly strong nnd hardy, and so are dark chestnuts. As a gen eral rule, light chestnuts and light bays are nervous and delicate. A rusty black's a sulky pig nine times out of ten. Then, again, thore aro 'whlto stockings,' as they call them. You know tho old saying, 'One white leg's a bad un, two whlto legs you may sell to a friend, threo whlto legs you may trust for a time, four whlto legs you may lay your life on." " Tills does not agreo witli an old Yankee saying: Ono whlto foot, buy him; Two whlto feet, try him; Threo whlto feot, look well about him; Four white feet, go on without htm. Now, however, tho American Idea is similar to that of tho sergeant, and thoy toy, "Four whlto feet you can stake your llfo on him." London Spectator. SPECIAL NOTICE. Der Pastor der Ev.
