Just out of the army and looking

Police Officer has to undergo an in

Jones picked up his hat.

The Karmarks of a Wrtjr Remark.
Two juvenile Inhabitants of Brick
dust Row. where tempers are high
er than social standing, were having
an altercation. “Yah!” taunted
one, “yer mother takes in washin’!’*
“Wot if she does?” countered the
other, “yer didn’t suppose she’d
leave it hangin’ out ail night unless
yer father was in Prison did yer?”
MODESTY.
The lady had an eye of a bargain
hunter. She bustled up to the
young clerk lounging against the
nearest counter in the men’s furnish

“I’d like to see the smartest thing
you have in men’s clothing.”
“What time would you care to
have me meet you?" he asked with
perfect poise.
AIDE DE BRIG.
Sally Brown’s big husky son had
just enlisted in the Army and one of

proudly. “Mas’ be one of de mostest

MOVING ALONG
A colored gentleman, sauntering
down a Georgia road, came upon an
acquaintance seated on a tree trunk
and puffing audibly.
“Raatus.” he inquired as a means
of opening a conversation.
“Has you all jined this Ku Klux

THE I'AKMH OF THE Fl'K
NDtSTKY—THE I'OISO.NEH
The poisoner of fur beariug ani
mals destroys much and gathers lit
tle. He is one of the curses of the
Northland fur country. He enters
a section—<t section rich in its pro
duction of furs and in a season or
two he has reduced that section tj
a state .-of barrenness. And ail this
with little profit to himself for 90'A
of the life he destroys is newer found
Like a thief at night the prisoner
works silently. He scatters his
deadly baits over the hillsides and
there they lav a deadly menace not
only for the fox for which they
were intended but also for every
ether bird or animal that touches
In a day or two—it is a week or
two if a storm arises, the poisoner
returns to his grim harvest, and
pitifully small is this harvest in
comparison to the death it has
caused. Animal after animal has
struggled far from the scene of poi
soning before stiffening in the last
mad paroxysm of a frightful death.
If a big storm ensues not an animal
is found. We have heard of 300
poisoned baits put out by one cer
tain alien and not one fox did he
bring in to the trader.
A section of the country that
would ha.ve supported ten trappers
indefinitely has been laid waste by
one poisoner in one year.
Happily instances of poisoning are!
becoming rarer and rarer all the
time and now its use is confined'
most to some remotely situated ren
egade—more than likely already a
fugitive from justice. These felj
lows are few and far between bul
not half so few and far between ai
we would like (to see them. Thej
rate a speedy extermination at ou|
hands along with the timber woli
and the rattlesnake for they ar*
every bit as deadly and infinitely
more wasteful of nature’s riches.
