the edge was keen, and the Canadian ran his 
thumb musingly over the gentle curve of the 
blade. 
“I’d say that this hatchet was about fifty or 
sixty years old,” he said. “Probably it belonged 
to Lajoie’s grandfather; and he was a trapper 
in all probability, working up in the Temis- 
kaming territory, where the big Cobalt mining 
camp is now. 
“I’ll bet you old Pierre often tramped over 
tons of solid silver ore worth anything up to 
$5 a poynd, kicking it aside, or gathering a few 
pieces of it together to weight a bear trap, with 
his eyes on nothing but pelts. And he'd have 
this hatchet with him all the time, stuck in his 
brilliant r?d sash.”—The Sun. 
A WARDEN’S ADDRESS. 
State Game and Fish Commissioner John H. 
Wallace, Jr., has issued an address to the game 
wardens of Alabama, directing their attention 
to the open season that shortly opens on doves 
and squirrels, and urging them to be on the 
alert to apprehend violators of the game and 
fish laws. 
Mr. Wallace takes occasion to announce the 
principle that the treasures of nature’s store¬ 
house are not the property of individuals but 
belong to the race; he also asserts that a bird 
in the bush is worth two in the hand. 
His communication to the game wardens of 
the State is as follows: 
“On Aug. 1 begins the open season on doves 
and squirrels. Sportsmen have refrained from 
pursuing the wild denizens of the fields and 
forests for quite a term, and will be somewhat 
keen to enjoy the thrills and pleasures that in¬ 
vitingly await them at the dawn of next Monday 
morning. 
“Those citizens who are patriotically inclined 
and who believe in the conservation of the 
natural resources of the State will not under 
any circumstances violate the letter or the 
spirit of our game protective statutes; but 
within the borders of Alabama, like unto the 
population of every other State, are to be 
found men who masquerade as sportsmen, who 
in reality are but rapacious slaughterers of wild 
life, who will seek to satiate their desire to ac¬ 
complish its destruction, even with the vora¬ 
ciousness of their savage progenitors. These 
must be held in check by your most vigilant 
espionage, not only in the great cause of bird 
and game preservation, but likewise to protect 
the rights of all good Alabamians and true, 
who willingly abide the provisions of our con¬ 
servation statutes. 
“The food value of game, while considerable, 
constitutes its least worth. The exhilarating 
recreation found in its pursuit which brings 
health and renewed vigor to careworn business 
men, when following the quarry o’er vale and 
mountain, makes a bird in the bush easily worth 
two in the hand. 
"That birds, game and fish, which were erst¬ 
while slaughtered almost to the point of de¬ 
plorable depletion, have rapidly increased under 
the operation of our game and fish laws is a 
palpable fact, one that is conceded by every ob¬ 
servant mind. The red hand of the vandal has 
been restrained in its ravages of death-dealing 
annihilation; the game-hog has been transmuted 
by legislation into a fairly respectable sports¬ 
man, and the great black horde that once pa¬ 
trolled the State, armed with pot-metal fowling- 
pieces, has been disbanded. All augurs well, 
not only for the rights of the living in our 
natural resources, but will eventuate for the 
good of posterity yet unborn, for the treasures 
of nature’s storehouse are not the property of 
individuals but belong to the race. 
“You are admonished to see to it that all 
sportsmen who go afield are duly equipped 
with hunter’s licenses and with written permis- 
S u° n 1° ^unt on lands other than their own; 
that the bag limit of twenty-five birds, each day 
for each hunter, is not violated; that under 
the pretext of hunting doves and squirrels, 
those afield do not bring to bag birds protected 
at a I times and game birds and animals on 
which the season has not yet opened.”
