THE GAME BREEDER 



that our game protectors have had to 

 seize the game thus brought into this 

 State, in addition to which the party- 

 bringing the game into this State .is 

 guilty of a violation of the State law for 

 having such birds in his possession dur- 

 ing our closed season. 



There is no possible way in which to 

 bring into this State any of the game 

 birds on which our season is closed at 

 the present time, even though it is lawful 

 to kill and export the same in the State 

 where taken. Already many prominent 

 people of this city have settled with the 

 Conservation Commission for violation 

 of this provision of our law. 



The legality of this law has been up- 

 held by a case which was carried to the 

 Supreme Court of the United States — 

 Hasterberg vs. Silz, 211, U. S., 31. 



It will, therefore, behoove every one 

 going South to understand that no game 

 birds can be brought into this State at 

 the present time. on which our season is 

 closed. In the case of ducks, geese and 

 brant, the same prohibition will apply 

 after Jan. 10, 1916. 



Under the law game seized is presented 

 to various public institutions, and al- 

 ready donations have been made to the 

 Presbyterian Hospital, Roosevelt Hospi- 

 tal, Polyclinic Hospital, Ophthalrhic 

 Hospital, Salvation Army, Lincoln Hos- 

 pital, Volunteer Hospital, St. John's 

 Home, St. Malachy's Home, and as fur- 

 ther game is seized it will be distributed 

 to other institutions.

The young son of the family, who 

 had been out to luncheon at a little 

 friend's house, was asked by his mother 

 on his return whether he had been a 

 good boy. He hesitated a moment, then 

 answered, "Yes." 



"You don't seem to be very sure about 

 the matter," said the mother. 



"What did you do?" 



"Oh, I just spilled my chop in my 

 lap," he replied. 



"Did you apologize to Mrs. Brown?" 



"Yes," he nodded. 



"Tell mother what you said when 

 you apologized." 



"Oh," . came the quick response, "I 

 said, 'Excuse me, but that's what always 

 happen to tough meat.' " 



We placed several good keepers in posi- 

 tions recently and have good reports 

 about them. Good men are getting 

 scarce as the game breeding industry 



grows.

 place in the world where a strait beats 

 four kings." 



OUTINGS AND INNINGS. 



Two suburban gardeners were swear- 

 ing vengeance on cats. "It appears to 

 me," one said, "that they seem to pick 

 out your choicest plants to scratch out 

 of the ground." "There's a big yellow 

 tomcat," the other said, "that fetches my 

 plants out and then sits and actually de- 

 fies me." "Why don't you hurl a brick 

 at him ?" asked the first speaker. "That's 

 what makes me mad," was the reply. "I 

 can't. He gets on top of my greenhouse 

 to defy me." — Kansas City Star.
