is best known to his many thousands
of youthful admirers simply as Won G.
That is the signature on the cover of his
well known yankee Doodle Gander"
book, and that is the emblem which
you will find scrawled in some odd
corner of each of his drawings. His
whole name. however, is Oscar Ii. Won

In spite of his German name.
I'm Yankee Doodle Gandcr' the artist
author has IL lot of fun with our Revo-
luuonary heroes, depicting some well
known scenes in new and dcliciously
humorous manner. Perhaps the boys
who have read the book and know the
pictures by heart will wonder, when
they come to study American history
why odd Put" and Mol Pitcher and
other characters are 50 familiar to
them. But Won G.. knows.
This year two new books 10y Won G.
are ready for the young folks. One il

pictured not only many wild animals.
but the uses to which they are put
after the hunter has captured them
The bears drawn by Ernest Thompson
Seton may be more exactly true to life
than those of Won c., but they are not
half so funny to look at, as any boy
will tell you after he has compared
Lives of the Haunted" with Lives of
the Hunted" SO with the other ami
mails. Every boy who has grown tired
of the stereotypcd reindeer of the ge-
ography or natural history book will
welcome the Won q. reindeer.
Mr.. Won Gottschalck's other book,
which is soon to come from the press,
is entitled In Gnome Mans Land" 1t
tells the story of Il boy who wandered
into the vegetable kingdom.
Mr.. Won Gottschalck is an artist who
has been engaged in New York news
paper work for several years. His
yankee Doodle Gander" book was the
outcome of stories which he told his
own children about American history,
He drew some funny pictures to illus
trate the stories. Finally he turned the
stories into jingle and put them all into
the book which has been so successful
as to create demand for more work
from his pen and pencil.

property can be made source of eX-
cellent income by being held as a sane
tuary for the animals and birds that
are sought by the sportsman.
Moose and elk have been reintro-
duced into New York state. New
Hampshire, by protecting deer. moose
and caribou the whole year round. has
so fostered the increase of the deer that
it is uncommon to march a day through
the woods in some parts without see
ing at least one. Maine is gathering
more income each year from the biz
game hunters. New Jersey, under the
influence of especially clear and espe-
cially well enforced game laws, is fast
becoming one great hunting preserve.
AS a result of wise game laws the
SOUTH too is fast becoming Il magnfi-
cent game country. From Tennessee
east and from the Chesapeake south ii
furnishes today every variety of wing
shooting from turkeys to snipe and in
big game it offers deer and black bear.
Next to the moose the largest game
to be found in the east is the caribou
A few of these rare animals are found
in Maine, but the best shooting is in
the province of Newfoundland. Per-
hapS one of the most satisfactory out
ings sportsman can take is to this in
teresting country in quest of caribou.
Maine is the great moose and deer
state, although the latter are by no
means uncommon in New York, and in
the south and west are plentiful. I'm
der the present protective laws, and as
n result of the watchfulncss of the
game commissioners and Wardcns, the
deer and moose in the Pine Tree State
have greatly increased in numbers dur
ing the past decade.
Deer particularly have become re-
markably abundant, despite the fact
that from 10000 TO $1,000 animals fall
annually to the sportsman's rifle. 50
vast are the forest lands of Maine,
however, and so eXcellently adapted
are they to the breeding of game ami
mails that despite the great inroad
made upon their ranks each year by
native and visiting hunters the gap
has not only been made up with the
arrival of each new shooting season,
but both deer and moose seem actually
to have multiplied well beyond the fig
ures of the season passed.
Another shooting that is feeling the
effect of game laws is the wild fowl
shooting along the sounds and inlcts of
the coast from the Chesapeake capes to
Florida. Especially is this the case in

A Successful Evening Paper.

From the Baltimore News.
The Washington Star has been celebrat-
ing the close of half-century of life by
the issue of very handsome and interest
ing special number. The Star has seen the
day of small things in Washington has
shared signally in the development which
has turned the yilage-like town of ante
bellum times into the beautiful, populous
and wealthy city of today The Star Is
one of the most striking examples of the
success which is attainable by an afternoon
paper that studies the needs of the COM
munity in which it is published. 1t Is one
of the most valuable newspaper properties
in the country, and has steadily maintained
it's hold on the newspaper public of Wash
ington, where it has long been held to be
Indispensable in nearly every home. The
evening newspaper has an indisputable ad-
vantage as a paper for leisurely reading by
the entire family circle, and The Star is
one of many instances of the prosperity
that may attend the skillful utilization of
this advantage.

honest endeavor wise conservatism and

fled by artistic skill of high order.

What the Star Represents.


The Washington Star was 30 years young
yesterday and it INDUCED in high old
anniversary celebration. n special edition,
which is so big that We haven't been
able to count the number of the pages. and
which is so good that we'd like to take
day off to read the whole of it, was issued
in honor of the day and occasion. The Star
represents sanity, honor, progressiveness
enterprise and brilliancy in journalism. It's
constituency, influence and facilities repre-
sent newspaper expansion at it's best es
tate. The Star has never tried to master
the art of being either dull or dishonorable.
The growth and prosperity of the property
are deserved and we hasten to ask our
contemporary to include our congratula-
lions in its collection of semi-centennial
condiments

Race Feeling ct South Bend.

dispatch from South Bend, Ind, says:
-Four shootings and one murder, in which
negroes took part, have been followed not
only by closing clubs and saloons conducted
by negroes. but many colored people are
leaving the city. They are afraid to stay
here, owing to a feeling against them among
the white people. The negroes say they
cannot get food and service at the restaur-
ants. although they have the money to pay
for 1t.
A committee has raised more than $50
among business men to offer as a reward
for the capture Of three negroes who killed
John NJ. koonsman. No further clews to
the negroes have been found
