A MODEL GAME WARDEN. 



W. T. Pollard is one of Maine's best, 

 most faithful and efficient game wardens. 

 He lives in Foxcroft and travels almost 

 constantly over a large district, hunting 

 for law breakers. He is a genial, good 

 natured man, but has the courage of his

■convictions. He fears neither good nor 

 bad men, and is a terror to evil doers. 

 If all States could provide such men to 

 police their hunting and fishing grounds, 

 butchers and game hogs would soon have 

 to seek some other occupation. 



MOTHER GOOSE UP TO DATE. 



When I was a game hog 



I lived by myself, 

 And all the game and fish I got 



I sold for filthy pelf; 

 But that pesky Recreation 



Was the bother of my life, 

 So I had to chuck the porker biz 



To save myself from strife. 



With no game on my table, 



None in the woods to shoot, 

 I had to be a cannibal, 



And eat the hogs that root. 

 I shot quails by the covey, 



I shot them on the ground, 

 Until Coquina grabbed me up 



And put me in the pound. 



Now I see my error; 



Again I am a man; 

 I shoot my proper share of game, 



But never all I can. 

 Hurrah for Recreation! 



Where'er it leads I'll foller; 

 And every year the while I live 



I'll send to it a dollar. 



AN ITEMIZED BILE. 

 The authorities of an old church in Bel- 

 gium recently decided to make some re- 

 pairs to its interior furnishings, and em- 

 ployed an artist to touch up a large 

 painting. When the artist presented his 

 bill the committee in charge refused to pay 

 it unless the details were specified. The 

 next day the bill was handed in itemized 

 as follows:
