THE ÎIOUNDISK.
Tbe Rounder is going to tara over n
new leaf, tie does this at the end of
every century. Most people do it oftener.
Some do it on New Year's Day, others on
their birthdays and a great many on
every Sunday in church. He had an
idea that much turning over vf leaves
«soils a book aad in most of cases the
books of life are soiled enough. On the
top of this page he will set down a few
axioms (or the government of his actions
Much as:
A scaatimoaious face will cloak an
evil heart.
A knowing grin is better than much
wisdom.
A noble bearing will ûida a natural
sheep thief,
A diamond pin is worth its weight io
respect.
A bird iu the hand may ipeck the
Hogers.
Learn the faults of your friend, they
will make your own seem smaller.
Resurrect toe forgotten cares of others,
as they will make you feel better.
Tbe mishaps of your friend are a joy
forever.
Speak the truth when it hurts your
neighbor.
Important men are dilatory.
Notoriety is nearly as good as fame
and easier got.
These maxims are not copyrighted
and may be copie i into any little red
diary with soma of Havergill's trite say
ings.
If soma old rip with spectacles and s
, wart on her nose will present the
11 »under with a uice little diary with a
blue pencil in a c tse, he will promise to
be a good buy for fa a whole of the year
10J1. They are fine things t;> keep a
record of the eveuls that transpire for
the firs: Week or two in the ye.a and
then can be laid aside to 03 a perpetual
eyesore for the ualanceof the time. The
uiiin who can keep up a diary must ba
an author, a weather crank or some other
fool. Sufficient unto the day is tue evil
thereof, and more too.
Tue Rounder's n3w machine is work
ing bully. He has it ready to/ introduc
tion to tue puoiio, ouü he is not going to
. introduce it in Dupuj-er as the wonder of
the twenty-first century. There ars
wonders enough tnere now as any one
ca ntestifiy who will spend a few days
aud nignts iu the burg. H? migai loan
it to a few to help digest tneir dinners.
As it is they generally unite them sick.
He has a few of the nonconductor of
gravity plaies made to fit the soies of
nhoes tor the use of the members of the
dancing club. This is a great favor and
they can only be had after the New
Year celebration at Utopia, which is tak
ing place this week. They are all in use
there. Charity begins at home. An ex
tra time is on in that patriotic town, in
"usheringin a new century. After the
Rjuncijr recovers, (if he ever do*e) he
may describe the festivities which are a
la Paree.
Automobiles For Tint; Klondike.
Teattle, Wash., Jan 2,- Tho auto
mobile transportation service in the
Klondike will be inaugurated about Jun.
< betweeu Pawsoa «od Grand .Forks,
unless some thing imex pee te 1 happens
to upset the plans of the promoters of
the novel scheme. According to the
Dawson News on Dec. 7, the machines
were being brought in on sleds, and on
that date were somewhere on the trad
between Dawson and Selkirk. They
were in "knock-down" condition, but two I
experienced men from tne factory were
already iu Dawson, waiting to set them
up aad put them in operation. The
automobiles were started down the river
on the steamer Eldorado, but as she was
unable to get through it was necessary
to adopt other means to finish the jour
ney.
Q:her automobiles for the Dawson
White Horse run have been ordered, ac
cording to the statement of E. H Clear,
manager of th» company, which is known
as the Dawson Transportation company.
Outside capital is backing the scheme.
Mr .-Clear declined to affirm or deny that
the Rockefellers were connected with
the enterprise.
At first the route will be confined to
Grand Forks, Eventually be extended
to Hunker creek. If found practical,
reguiar service will be given the year
around. The machines running to the
creeks will carry only passengers
light parcels.

citizens. Soon afcer the robbers had en

Mr. Hoagland, whose dwelling adjoined.
He volunteered to open th*» safe to pre

declined. Hoagland summ med a posse
of citizens, who arrived in time to hear
the explosion of the safe. Tney opened

were exenanged. As tne robbers fired
they retreated toward the edge of the
village, where they nad stationed several
buggies, stolen from farmers. In these
they escaped. The posse followed for

Game ami Bounty Laws from a
Practical Standpoint.
to the acaxtäa:
I sometimes, in a tit of sheepherder's
headache, pick up a so-called sports
men's paper, and a perusal of the a'-ti
clesoa gam 3 protection mikes m> fo >t
sore and weary. Alaijsc e^ery winter
turns his undivided attention to tae
abuse of his fellow man, ani the en
couragement of over zealous game
wardens, who. guided bylaws enacted in
ignorance, keep watch and ward over
human offenders, and look with indif
ference on the real culprits, who are re
sponsible for the destruction of nine
tenths of the game. Nearly all birds pro
duce from tea to twenty of their kind
each s3Uson, aad all game animals, from
two to five. Before tbe advent of man
this enormous increase was to a great
extent offset by tbe egg eating and game
killing animals, and while the human
race wifca its improved weapons has
slaughtered an immense amount of game
aud fur bearing auimals, the number of
four footed game destroyers has not
been diminished to any great extent.
A skunk appears insignificant in all
matters except his. peculiaj method of
self defense, but he will be oa hand in
breeding time, and eat all the eggs iu a
grouse's nest, and the mother into the
bargain, if po ssible, and later on will
devour a whole covey, in fact, will pot
hunt the year round, but most sports
men regard him as ornamental, and will
u ot interfere with his methodical career
sired
of destruction, preferring that he should
exist in undisturbed tranquility, rather
than that he should offend their delicate
nostrils by using nature's provision for
defense while suffering the just penalty
for his never ending depredations. I^t
a boy or man rob the same nest, or
gathér in a covey of young birds, and
the whole machinery of the law is put in
motion at the behest of some Rod and
Gun club, and every sportsman's paper
from Maine to California will set up a
I howl.
The coyote, lynx, fox, eagle, (the great
American eagle!) owl, hawk, weasel and
a long list of vermin, annually do
more toward destroying game, than all
the hunters in America could do if they
were doing their best every day. The
laws of Montana at one time
protected the otter in certain
seasons, when as a matter of fact
there is no greater destroyer of fish,
excepting perhaps the dynamiters, in the
wide world, and a bounty would -fit his
case, if the preservation of fisa is de
I have followed a mountain lion for 6
or 7 miles, aad in that distance have

and dun man, does ha g > i >wn into his
pocket ani dig up toward a fund lor the
protection of deer when che saows are

when the young fawn is feebly struggling
to survive? N >t much,—he grins, invites
me to take something, takes a chew of
tobacco and tries to pump me as to
where the deer are most plentiful, so that
he can go and try to beat the record
made by the lion. But let me report
that gone half starved hunter has so far
forgotten his duty to his felloiv man, the

witness the excitement! I am taken be

a sacrifice tp tbe majesty-, of .the law.
Meanwhile, tbe lion, the coyote and the
lynx continue to enjoy their venison diet,
without let or hindrance. Payas much
for a pot hunting animal as for a pot
hunting human, and in 0:1e year there
would scarcely be enough left far seed,

but then thé country boy, the hunter or
the farmer would reap the benefit unci
the game wardens and sportsman's
journals would be short on glory and
coin. I will gamble that four out of five
of the game animals and game birds de
stroyed, suffer not by human hands, but
by depredatiug animals. Let us have
material boudty laes, and the pot hunt
ers will turn their attention to the exter
mination of the enemies of gauie

Morris, aged 19, handsome and accom

ia this city and Parkersburg.
Weinstock was seized by a crowd of
men, who bound him with ropes, hand
and foot, and removed him to a building
where more than 1,500 men watched
over him. A telephone message was
sent to McConnellsville for officers to
come and get him, but the peoplo were
getting ready to start for Marietta late
tonight with their man and place him in

It, is intended especially for coughs,
