will merely serve to draw out the

the party vote larger.

Every country has its national
game. With Americana-it is base-

lighting or throwing. Travelers
goon learn of the art acquired by
some fighters, though there is but
one day in the yea given over to
it. If any one offend a Korean, he
answers with a stone. All classes
indulge the habit. It is said of a
Korean woman that she never fails
to throw a stone straight. Within
bounds she is as expert as n man.
The childhood pleasure of skipping
stones along the surface of streams
is as well known to the Korean as
to the Yankee. On stone throwing

they are in seclusion.

Editor
Very few know that the law
forbids killing squirrels until
November, and the Jaw has ten
violated by a great many. Some
have been very uneasy lately,
while there are others who keep
on violating the law every day, as
you can hear shooting in almost
every direction.
I have long since concluded that
no game law will ever amount to
much until the county game
who will see that every
sportsman fares alike.
Worry. Try it this Week.
Let no day pass without person-
secret communication with God.
Begin each day taking counsel
from the Word of God, if but one
verse while you are dressing.
Put away all hitter feelings and
over slights or wrongs,
no matter from whom
Have on your heart person
or cause of which you are pleading
God's blessings each day.
Let no opportunity pass to say
a kind word, or do some kind deed
or as least smile those you
meet. D. mis, not affectedly, but
sincerely, as the Lord.
Guard well door of your lips,
that no unchaste word, jest or
story, no slander or cutting re-
marks, no or untruthful
statement, shall pass out.
