It's Coming is Locked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
/, Safe Arrival il Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival of the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event of married life. The yours
wife who is to become a mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for hel
when the little one shall nestle upon hal
breast and latterly she shall hear it LISP
the sweet and holy name, mother. u
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness-
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of Mothers Friend"-a scien-
tific liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event t.'e entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which is in store for them. moth

PROTECTING WILD ANIMALS.
Preservation of FRst-Vanishing Spe-
cies Necessary to the student
of Natural History.

The London Quarterly Review in re-
viewing ten recent books telling of
the experiences of hunters in quest of
big game makes them the text of
an article on the human passion for
killing other animals. At first, 1t says,
man slew for meat and clothing, then
for sport and trade, but nowadays he
seems to be actuated merely by the
passion for slaughter. 'The curse of
the gunner broods over the close of
the century" 1t is on this account
that game once so plentiful has al
most disappeared.
The time was when great herds of
beasts roamed over the habitable
globe, but with the approach of men
they have become more scarce, and
the animals that used to come to gaze
! in wonderment- at the explorer or
| hunter are killed with reckless slaugh-
ter. Theodore Roosevelt said that the
rife is responsible for the eXte.mina-
ton of the buffalo, which previously
was not killed faster than the spe-
cies was propagated when bows and
arrows were the weapons used against
it. The extinction of this animal, most
apparent to the American, is not
unique in the animal history. The war
against the elephant in Africa is near
ly as relentless because of the quest
for the ivory. In India the sporting
zeal of officers on vacations has al
most killed off the horned beasts even
faster than the government rewards
have destroyed the tigers and the ven
omous snakes.
The problem of to-day is to protect
the fast vanishing race of animals
from their unequal contest against the
rifle of the hunter. In America game
preserves for buffalo have been es-
tablished and similar preserves exist
in South Africa and in Russia, as well
as in the parks of noblemen and
princes of Europe. Such measures are,
however, Intellectual. The animals pre-
served in parks lose their wild traits.
Three plans are suggested for the
protection of the wild animals. These
are close seasons, gun anu game IL
CcHScS WHICH WOuIu A-lult InG size O1
the bag, and the forbidding of the
shooting of certain species altogeth-
er or the closing of certain areas to
the hunter for specific period. The
Quarterly Review suggests that this
properly is a matter for an interna-
tional congress. 1t indorses the sug-
gestion of NJ. Foa for an international
geological peace conference to enact
the necessary measures for the preser-
walton of the animals. It would not
only be a movement of mercy toward
the wild beasts, but it would be q
matter of international concern, in
asmuch as science is of no national
ity. The preservation of the species
is necessary for the student of nat
ural history. The moa, dodo and
great aux have become extinct in |
modern times and persisted, while
unknown to the scientists.
The Quarterly Review truly says that
the new century might be inaugurated
most happily by an international
of mercy to the beasts.

very respectable English magazine,
and in one of its short stories the
inevitable American millionaire is in
troduced thusly: MI. Van Doren was
seated in the study library of his fine
brown stone palace, at the top Of Fifth
avenue, near Central park Now, that
is strictly in accord with tradition"
continued the man in the news stand
FOR British magazine writer's believe
firmly that all American millionaires
live in brown stone palaces on Fifth
avenue, and j accept the statement as
a matter of course. But accompanying
the tale is full page illustration, de-
picting Mr. Van Doren in the afore-
said palace. Observe Mr.. Van Doren:
He is attired, as you see, in short sack
coat, patent leather shoes, white spats
and light gray trousers, with two-inch
black military stripes running down
the seams, which, as everybody knows,
is the usual afternoon costume of the
Fifth Avenue millionaires. Taken al
together this is fine example of Brit
ish realism. But Van Doren doesn't
approach another American plutocrat
who figured in story in one of the
leading London weeklies about fort
night ago. That gentleman was pres
ent as a guest at dinner in an aris-
tocratic English home, and, directly
after seating himself deposited big
six shooter under his chair, much to
the alarm of tho lodfac tnop't ba
skerred,' said the millionaire, genially,

but once, and then it didn't hit nobody

establish college for the gratuitous
tuition of English magazine writer's in

can barbarians. The faculty should be

A Very RcstfNl Rest.

Adolf Menzcl, the German artist,
was at one time engaged on mural
decoration. lie had rigged up a scaf-

model was requested TO stand. For
two long hours the poor ''poseur" stood
up aloft in most fatigulng posture
Mcpzcl in the meantime worked at
his sketch, needless Of the fact that
his model was growing tired.
At length the model found it necessa-
ry to speak. Herr professor" said
he, chow about recess"
Menzel apologized profuscly for his
forgctfuness. Certainly, certainly,
my dear sir" said he. Come down
and rest yourself Bit
The model had clambcrcd from the
scaffolding to the ladder, which led
down from it to the studio floor.

"rhat pose is fine! Don't move q

And once more the model was forced
into strained rigidity, While the on
thusiastic craftsman set about sketch
ing him.
At the end of half an hour Mcneil
looked up from his work "There,"
said he, that will do nicely! Get back
OH the scaffold. We have had our rest
Let us get back to work again"
What the model said is left to the
readers imagination.

turned the Joke to Account.
Some friends once invited the late
Tiny Waterman to their shooting club
at Kings Lake, near st. Louis, and the
first afternoon they stationed Tiny in
a ducking fank, or sink box, where they
well knew ducks had never been seen.
He took the joke good naturedly, and
that night at dinner he pulled a shell
out Of his pocket and tossed it on the
table with the remark that he Thought
he had put all of his shells away"
Most naturally one Of the diners cut
the shell open with his pocketknlfe
disclosing the contents. Tiny seemed
astoundcd at the number of bullets"
as lie. called them, and asked how
many were in shell. OF course no
one could enlighten him, SO he said,
'If you fellows who are hunters really
don't know, it seems to me that it is Il
good betting proposition"
Good scheme" exclaimed one Of his
hosts. lets make 1t dollar each as
to who guesses nearest to the actual
number In the shell"
AS there is only one het in this
proposition Tiny suggested, ''let's
make it So Il corner" Which was agreed
to.
Each one wrote on the tablecloth his
guess as to the number contained In
the shell, and when the pellets were
counted it was found that Tiny had
guessed the exact number. He ac-
cordlngly gathered in the $50, and
when he had 1t safely bestowed he
casually inquired what do you fel-
lows think was doing in that blamed
