The Nest Wisely Read

Time has demonstrated that the
Thrice-a week World stands alone in
its class. Other papers have initiated

is, in fact, almost a daily at the price
of a weekly and you cannot afford to
be without it.
Republican and Democrat alike can
read the Thrice week World with
absolute confidence in its truth.
In addition to news, it publishes
first class serial stories and other
features suited to the home and fire.

JUSTICES OF TIE PEACE

Somebody proposes to stock part of

TO say nothing of the English sparrow,
have already been domesticated in
this country al one time or other, and
candor compe.s one to admit that
when strange beasts and birds from
foreign parts have lived here at all
they have usually become a pest. The
balance of nature is disturbed. and the
result is that there is discomfort al
round.
Ii seems as if, instead of introducing
new species where they do not belong,
some effort might Well be made to pre-
serve native birds and animals. The
gray squirrel, which is certainly an
animal worth preserving. has been al
most exterminated III many parts of
the country. Native song birds and
some species of game have shared the
same fate. 1t would take compare
lively little money and trouble to es-
tablish preserves of these creatures.

enemies, and see that they were fed
until their original haunts were re-
stocked with them. Then, by judic-
ious legislation and enforcement of
the game laws, they could be pro-

of them would be kept up. and the
whole country would be the richer for
