He checked the trunk for St. Paul, and having nearly a half hour to wait for his train was lounging in the station when his trained ear caught thu ticks of a mes sage • which the telegraph operator at thai point was sending to this city. The message read: "Sam Fullerton, game warden, St. Paul. Examine trunk N. P.: train from B tonight. Check , No. «4_»3." He quickly discovered that the trunk referred to was his own, and with out delay he hit upon a plan to beat the frame authorities. Securing a cheap trunk which he filled with rubbish to give • it weight, he had that also checked to '■■ St. Paul, and then transferred the bag ■ gage checks. - When the train arrived at this city the operator had the trunk - containing the . game sent to his home without"interfer on-, from'any source, and then stood by, at a. safe distance, while , Mr. Fullerton seized the dummy trunk and examined Its contents. • Chance of Time On the Chicago Great Western Railway.

He, urge _ the - clergy ; present -" to teach the true spirituality. He thinks that ceremony cannot?overcome this _ aye, but that ... it will ? require a great sdeal; of intellectual training. ?-"You cannot deceive moucrn man,"- said Bishop Morrison." "He Will have . the truth." J- ?. . . : "I believe that/the j Episcopal church is less strong today in the West relative^ ly with the population, than It was twenty^five or thirty years ago.
