Game in the Yellowstone Park.

One OF the most important purposes
for which the Yellowstone National Park
exists IS to preserve certain rare species
OF animals which are threatened with ex-
tinctlon. The buffalo is doomed, OF
course; not more than 200 specimens OF
the American bison now survive in the
United States, out Of all the millions that
roamed the plains Fl ty years ago. Hap
ply the other creatures i'll the reserva-
ton are increasing. There are immense
numbers OF antelope and elk mot less
than 5000 OF the latter-and the beaver,
once nearly wiped out, are reappearlng
in the streams. Porcuplnes are Plentiful
too. The coyntes-wolves, whose exter-
mination would be blessing-are nu-
merous and bold. Last winter they
killed seventy-6ve of herd OF 500 ante
lop.s, and during the summer just past
they destroyed many lawns and elk
calves. 1t is intended to kill off enough
OF the coyotes to prevent them from hunt
ing in packs.
Expert hunters and trappers are en-
ployed as game-keepers in the Park. 1t
takes a clever hunter, acquainted with
the habits and haunts of the animals, to
catch a poacher. Unfortunately many
INSCRIPTIONS persons make business OF
poacning on the national preserves, act
ually selling the meat of elk, antelope,
and buffalo on the outskirts OF the reser-
walton. A buffalo-hide, formerly pur-
chasable for 81. now brings good price,
and buffalo head, mounted, is worth
from $3.50 to 5000. Enterprising indi-
viduals recently have found large profits
in making artificial buffalo heads out of
papier.mache. dyed fur of other kinds,
etc. Elk are shot by the poachers tor
their horns, which are worth IRON $40
to $75 pair. They are bought by anna
teur hunters, who exhibit them as tro-
phi.s of their own.-[ Harper's Round

The Wrong Hat that Time.

Mr.. Perkins has been visiting his wife's
relatives up in Maine. While. there he
attended church one Sunday. He did
not want to go, but his wife thought it
would do him good.
The sermon was long and prosy, and
Perkins went to sleep. As he did not
snore, his wife did not notice that he
was in the arms of Morpheus. She was
busy taking mental notes of bonnet
worn by lady from Boston who occu.
pied the pew just in front of them.
The sermon came to an end at last, but
Perkins slept peacefully on. The deacons
began to take up the collection. When
the hat was passed to Perkins, his wife
was surprised to see that he did not re-
spond. She nudged him violently to
bring him to his senses. Perkins sat ar
with start. Gazing in bewildered
manner at the extended hat, and then al
the deacon, he shook his head sleepily
and said:
That isn't my hat. Mine had blue
lining. Life.

Women In Business and Social Life.

1 cannot conceive Of anything that
women could do in the future that would
shock the public now as the things they
actually are doing would have shocked
the public OF thirty, twenty, or even ten
years ago. Women attend the business
meetings of corporations, and in some
cases, notably small manufacturing or
business concerns, if they have a large
amount OF money invested, they serve as
directors, even as president and treas.
urer. They vote on school matters in
the majority of the states. They have
full suffrage in Wyoming, Utah. Colo
RADIO and Idaho and municipal suffrage in
Kansas. Even in states where they do
not vote. women are frequently seen at
the polls, notably members OF the w. c.

foot. 1t was generally supposed that
the moral tone OF the place was such that
she would not wish to go there if she
could. Customs have changed so mnch
that women not only visit the club on
ladies nights" but they are actually
invited to the restaurant on ordinary
days. Almost all the newer clubs, es-
pecially those in the country, and those
connected with athletic interests, make
provision for women, and in some cases
the club suppers are almost as domestic
as family parties. Last winter at
tended meeting Of womans society

The club men were not invited to the
meeting, but the courtesy OF portion of
their house was extended for the day,
because the society was noted one and
the club could offer finer accommoda tions
than any hotel. Some of the ladies, when
enjoying the perfect appointments of the
dressing and dining rooms, remarked
that it was pity that women should
ever undertake housekeeping when men
had shown that they could do it so much
better:-[From "a Comparative View OF

1t cannot be repeated too often that
the stomach is the fountain which sup
plies every part of the body. If the
stomach is sick, the brain, heart, liver,
bowels and kidneys are all sick. The
trouble may all be felt in one spot; it
may be in the stomach itself, or it may
be in the brain, or in rheumatic muscle.
1t will be felt in the weakest place.
Paine's celery compound is fully compe-
tent to correct all such disordered con-
ditions of the stomach, and to restore
healthy, hearty tone that will enable it
to meet every demand made upon it by
hardworked brain, heart and nerves.
A dyspeptic stomach cannot furnish
sweet, healthy chyme, as the digested
food is called, but acids and poisonous
gases, and the brain and nerves thus get
poison instead OF food. 1t is not food
swallowed, but food we'll digested that
produces flesh and blood. Paine's celery
compound disposes the body to take on
flesh. 1t makes the breath sweeter, the
strength more enduring, the body plumper
and the spirits better.
Dyspeptics and nervous, sickly persons
whose whole lives are failure, both as
to enjoy ment and usefulness, ought to
learn how closely their debility, aches
and pains depend on their general run
down condition, and that the sensible
lasting cure can only come from building
up their general health and constitution
This is the grand mission of PaiDe's celery
compound. II cures neuralgia, rheuma.

to forget your stomach, and will do for

How Aigrettes are Obtained.

Ii every woman cOulu TeailZe tHdt nat
trimmed with aigrettes was ornamented
at the expense OF little mother lite,
would she still wish their adornment
Aigrettes are obtained in the breeding
season, when the mother bird-anxious
to protect her young will not hover far
from the nest, and thus is an easy mark
for the sportsman. Then, when the
proud, happy mother is gone, killed in
the moment of her terror, the cries OF the
hungry baby birds are lett Tor the echoes
of the woods to soothe until death, at
last, bushes them into stiffness.
Women laugh in their thoughtlessness
at sentiments akin to these, calling them
the foolish exaggerations of one of ma
lures enthusiasts. They cannot see the
necessity OF going without the wings
and aigrettes which make their headgear
more stylish and becoming. What a
few among many" they say. These
ornaments are in the shops. We did not
kill the BIRDS"
Pardon me; you are as much MUIR
derer, at least, as the hunter sent at your
demands to bring hose bird lives for
sacrifice to the altar of your love tor
fashion. You will wear the evidence oil
cruelty, and smile and be merry under
the burden OF your guilt.
What would nature do il the sunshine
OF the world were not put to music in
the trees? Think of spring without the
love calls OF the birds! Can we get along
without our songsters in the land Then
how can we stop their destruction Only
by women, in one great body and in the
love OF humanity, standing up for the
right; lifting their voices IN one mighty
chorus of determination against the
awful devastation OF lite and song, this
sacrifice OF joyous existence to VAN desire
for ornament. - From IAN Appeal to
