BAD NEWS FOR HUNTERS.

Supply of License Blanks Down to 500 and There is a Big Demand. Indiana is iq the midst of a hunting license famine. S© great has been the drain on the office of the state fish and game commission in preparation for the present open season that the visable supply has been reduced to five hundred license forms, with the state printer unable to make a new delivery for two weeks. The five hundred on hand are in the possession of George W. Miles, state fish and game commissioner, and county clerk alter county clerk is writing in and demanding that suplies be sent. The demand for - licenses far outstripped the estimate which Mr. Miles had made in ordering the blanks and when he appealed to the state printer it was found that the printer was out of the specially prepared paper on which the blanks are printed. As a consequence, the hunter who hasn’t been successful in obtaining a license will be compelled to forego his shooting until the new supply of blanks is received unless he can get one of the five hundred now on hand.

THE SILENCE.

On Sagamore the silence lies, And somber are the wlntery skies. No laughter rings, no echo soars To any one outside the doors. In vain the world admission seeks. He neither waves his hand nor • si>eaks. Dark as some midnight cave and still Is now that green and festive hill Where erst the echoes used td snort Of “Teddy” at his favorite sport Of waking with his strenuous wrath The foes who dared to cross his path. Sad moans the dove in yonder elm. Slow drifts the ship with aimless helm, The hoot owl in the distant pine Unto his mate beneath the vino Purrs as if earth were soon to cease. Lost in an immemorial peace. The telephone no answer gives To those who ask if still he lives; The butler turns each guest away With, “He has nothing yet to say!” A silence never so profound As this ere lived when he was round. No scratch of pen, no clicking keys Ring with emphatic harmonies. Shades of the mighty, can it be We are ho more to hear or see The whirling of the stick that • brings Our poor hearts back to mundane things! —Baltimore Sun.

Next week Rowles & Parker will unload another car of those fancy Michigan potatoes. The lowest priced and the last chance this season to buy your winter’s supply off the car. 45c a bushel unloading day.
