KINDNESS IS QUITE COSTLY Animal Given a Home and Then Proprietor Pro-prietor Was Fined. Kindness to animals has cost Jack Mills of Clarks Mills, Pa., a cool $175. A short time ago he found a female ferret on his farm. It was so tame that he took it to his home and cared for it. Several clays later it presented him with a family of six little ferrets. A complaint was filed against him by Game Warden Gruver, charging the keeping of ferrets contrary to the state law. He was fined $25 and costs for each ferret in his possession. In justifying his action Gruver declared de-clared that "it has been noted each rabbit season that hunters had in their possession great quantities of rabbits that defied all search for shot marks."
