Changes in the open soason on var ious kinds of game birds nro recom mended by Chief Game Warden Geilius In his biennial nummary proparod for the guidance of the govomor and the legislature, At tho same time he does not want tho bars let down on any of tho protective statutes now in force. As to the seining of fish in public waters, ho thinks this practice should bo entirely forbidden excopt whero stronms overflow nnd leave pools in which tho fish are likely to die through tho freezing ordrylng up of tho water. The maximum number of birds that can legally be killed by ono person In a sin glo day should be cut down to ten, tho the warden believes. As a compen sation for this restriction the present limit being twenty-five in most cases, he would have tho season open for prairio chickens, wild ducks and other water fowl September 1, instead of two weeks later. He favors a short open season on quail and turtle doves, which are protected from killing all the year round nt tho present time. CRYSTAL THEATRE ToNififht and Saturday.

When a tailor puts you on tho mens Bring; box, with n man guarding the door bo that you can't get away nnd another making a book on tho game, ho reels oft something Uko thin as ha goes about you with his measuring tape: "13-2 11-10-S-4-18-11-40-Geo, 'you're beginning to got a front, ain't you? 17 sldo and two hips, Jlmmte 33J4 SO Can you eomo In to. morrow or Friday? 10 O-IIouso ot a flat, did you say? 28 Custom of tho houso to havo a deposit ou all or dors 10-What was that last, Jhunile, did I say? Oh, make It 23 In tho mid dleWhat did you say your name was, mister?" Now, nobody can make any combi nation of tho foregoing figures which will Bpell anything Uko a decent pair -of pants. But tho tailor cares nothing whatever about tho figures which he calls out to Jlmmlo and indeed mnkca no roferonco to them in his later op erations. Uo knows tho pants won't fit, anyhow, so what's tho use? If you watch him you will discover that ho usually takes up somo other man's measurements whon ho undertakes the laying out of that particular gar ment on which ho puts your name. Ilavlng selected from tho mass of papers on his desk n sot of figures which suits him, ho goes behind his counter, ynwnB, looks In tho glass, smooths down his hnlr, hunts for tho placo whero ho loft his cigar and nt last picks up n tldng which looks like a board rule, with n curvo in tho cor nor Uko n hockoy stick. If you are not watching him ho will nrobuulv cut your pants by oar nnd will not oowicr to uso tins jmptomont, but It you Insist upon lnsnectlon ho'll mnk a protonso of scientific uso of this In strument, wiioso rcnl naturo or pur poso no hitninn bolng knows or over will know. What tho tailor Is thinking of as ho begins lo mnko chalk marks In n nlncn of bluo paper, UBlng this rulo ns a straight odgo, Is tho "Joy rldo;' ho Is going to havo with Mnrlo In his now auto that evening. It makes no dif fcronco to him whether tho chalk slips or not, nor Is It important how far. along this or that anglo ho hIIowh tho Btrnlght or curved lino to run. Ho knows they nro not going to lit, any how, so why should ho botlior nlmut it- overmuch? Tho onlv bono vmi nm possibly havo meantime Is tho ono rniseu m your Dosom whoa tho tailor, from bohlnd tho counter, lnokn snysi "Jlmmlo, why in tho world ' uniirt you mark tho numa on this gout's pants? Oh, woll, nover mind." The tnilor goes on making Hovernl cuto llttlo pictures on tho bluo paper by aid of this curved thing, which has numbers scnttored along it jioro nnd there. Ho draws in Hovornl Isosc'lcs ' triangles, converging nt moro or less tho samo point: but. not llklntr tho looks of those, ho rubs out somo of tho nncs ana trios over again.
