be so, but shooting birds for sport, is
a cruel pastime, only less cruel and
heartless tnan the habit of women
adjoining their hats with the bodies
ofom sweetest songsters. Millions of
birds, the greatest friends ofthe farm
ers, have been ruthlessly slaughtered
in order to adorn the hats Of women,
who imagine that such ornaments are
becoming. If ladies actually knew
how many persons entertain feelings
of disgust when they see this misap-
preparation of creatures which God
created for for more noble purpose;
they would cease to encourage this
wicked traffic in birds, for ornamen-
tai purposes.
The farmers of the West paid very
dearly for the destruction of birds III

grasshoppers and other insects. We

The National Democratic Con
mittee has issued an addr ess to The
members of the party. The com
bination party draws comfort fron
the fact that tho National Democratic
narty is small. There is nothing dis
couraging about that. 1t has sonnd

beresies increased from a small clique
to a party that came near electing
a President of the United States.
There is nothing discouraging about
the size of the party. When It's

of the regular democrats any true
citizen Of the United States can feel
p.oud to be enrolled among the
