It is related that an earnest Maine Prohibitionist came on a lone fisherman, who happened at the moment to be qui- etly drinking something from a black bottle. He was so much scandalized by the sight that at the prayer meeting that evening he referred to the incident as follows: 70 Lord, we ask Thee to turn from his evil ways the poor besot- ted sinner I seen this afternoon swig- ging rum from black bottle against the peace and good order of the State" It so happened that the sinner referred to was present at the meeting, and at the conclusion of the prayer arose and offered the following petition: 70 Lord, Thou knowest that when the brother seen me I was not drinking rum, as I don't like it, but Scotch whiskey, which the doctor ordered me to take to keep away rheumatiz and Thine be the glory forever. Amen"

A Wichita (Kansas) man has invent cd and patented machine out or Whlch he expects to make a fortune. It is a machine for stringing seeds of all kinds on thread. The idea is that when planting garden and other seeds they will be put into the ground an equal distance apart and in straight row. It is said to be we'll adapted to cotton planting in the South. The machine strings, for example, radish seeds on a thread and all the gardener has to do is to dig d trench and lay the thread in 1t.

Japan, like the United States, is suf- fering from shortage of naval officers, and has resolved upon the novel ex- pertinent of transferring a considera- ble number of army officers to the naval service. These are to be selected officers from the Japanese army. They will be volunteers and must be spe- cially recommended by their command ing officers. They are to be appointed to the navy on probation for two years, at the expiration of which time they will be required to pass an eXamina tion in nautical and naval subjects, when, if successful, they will be per manently transferred to the navy.

their stomachs with liberal pieces"
(mostly bread and butter and sugar. DE
tween meals"
All the tables but one were waited on
by Mrs. Nelson's hired girls" but at one
table they sat down the same as guests.
These girls we're the daughters of well-to-
do neighboring farmers, were quite as good
socially as Mrs. Nelson and helped" in
her kitchen chiefly as an accommodation.
Mrs. Nelson herself and the minister's wife
waited on that table.
The sun was low when the last table
was swept clear Of it's holiday feast and
then Brother Nelson called in as many
as could get into the spare parlor and
asked them to listen while he made a lit
tie speech. He stood up and hemmed and
hawed a moment, after which he said he
thought, having found out that Christmas
day was the minister's birthday, that he
was deserving OF a special present, and
ended by presenting the astonished young
preacher with a purse containing a gold
dollar for each of his years.
The minister then made a little talk
which he followed by a short and rev.
erent prayer and the district schoolma'am,
who boarded at Brother Nelson's, was
asked 20 sit down at the melodeon-the
only musical instrument in the settle
ment-and play hymns while all present
sang.
There was Coronation and Green
lands Icy Mountains"-and Rock Of Ages
and then-the boy slipped AVA in a
dreamless sleep, which was not broken
till he and his father and mother were
half way home. He woke in the bright
moonlight OF a clear cold winter night and
listened without speaking for a long time
to the rhythmic beat Of the horses hoofs
on the snowpath to which the sleighbells
jlngled in perfect time. while the minister
sang softly one OF the hymns in which all
had Joined at Brother Nelson's.
Then he snuggled up comfortably under
the warm buffalo robe.
TITS been a pretty good Christmas he
told his father before dropping to sleep
again.

It had been hard to get so many specimens
OF the precious fruit at all.
From this and other circumstances which
the citizen remembers of that mid-century
Christmas It is clear in his mind that
Brother Nelson was the rich man OF all
that region. Indeed, the settlement had
been named for him. He had a big farm,
which kept himself and his three or four
hired men busy all summer and fall, and
he also owned a sawmill, the running of
which occupied their time and attention In
the winter.
The pond which furnished the power to
run the mill was the source of great sport
that Christmas day for the young Nelson's
and their guests. It was covered with ice
a foot or more thick, with a surface as
"~glairy' as glass, and the bigger Nelson
boys, the three or four mill hands and a
lot OF the neighbors spent the morning
skating upon It. while the children made
a slide at one side, which they enjoyed i'm
menseiy. Some Of the boys had sleds on
which they rode down hill'-nobody
''coasted" then in that neighborhood-nn-
fishing up their rides on the ice, each one
striving with much screaming and laughter
to make his sled go farthest over its level
surface. Few of the women and girls ven-
tured to skate. for that sport was gener-
ally thought too boisterous for members
Of the fair sex. but many Of them took part
in the rides on the sleds.
Fires of other Days.
II was quite as cold on that Christmas
as It had been the day before, and someone
built q great bonfire of pitch pine stumps
and logs on the ice, exactly in the middle
Of the group OF happy. red-cheeked young
folks. who joked and laughed and told
stories whlle they warmed their fingers
and toes. Some OF them brought apples,
which they roasted in the fire and ate with
much gusto. .
with all this the boy was pleased hugely.
though mostly as an Onlooker, for ihs cop
p~er-toed boots had a way Of slipping out
from under him when he tried 10 slide, and
he had no skates. He rode down hill on
the sled a few times with the biggest Nell
son boy, and that was lots Of fun and highly
exciting. On the last trip the sled was
overturned, and the boy had to be hurried
10 the hre to be dried and warmed. When
the biggest Nelson boy was ready to take
the youngster on another trip he shivered
and said in his politest way, "No, l thank
YOU" to the invitation.
The great event OF the DAY was the din
ner. Brother Nelson and his wife were
hospitable souls and had invited half the
settlement to sit round the board with
them. So many accepted the invite
that there we're four or hve tablesful and
the serving OF the meal, which began in
the big kitchen with the FIRST tableful sharp
-, was not completed for the last table,
full till nearly 3 in the afternoon. The
minister and his wife ate at the FIRST table
full and the minister asked the blessing
at each. The children ate last and would
have been pretty hungry by the time their
turn came II Sister Nelson had not stayed

he states, is only half patrolled by a hand
full Of guardsmen, when IL should be fenced;
while the v~enality of these few in accepting
brides is so open, notorious and well known
that westerners have long since ceased to
express surprise at It. Most any wealthy
eastern man can afford to pay 500 for a
buffalo head. and it is ridiculous to expect
the few soldiers placed around the park to
be incorruptible on $13 per month with
temptations Of this sort meeting them at
every turn. Even with a strong fence sur
rounding it, four troops Of cavalry, Mr..
Fullerton insists, is no more than sufficient
to guard the place against poachers.
Mr.. Fullerton cited a number Of in
stances to show the insuflciency OF the
park guard. One man, he states, entered
the park, built a cabin there, remained a
whole year. trapped $500 worth Of beaver
n escaped without being detected. 9th
ers are busy at the same work., and the
fact that game is being killed in the park
every week is so notorious that even those
in authority hardly have the heart to deny
it. One Of the standing jokes at the yell
lowstone concerns a certain sergeant who
for several years superintended the guard
ing Of one section of the reserve, and who,
at the end of that time, retired from the
service a rich man, owning a fine cattle
and sheep ranch in an adjoining state, the
result, as he claimed, of rigid economy on
$13 a month.
A herd of 700 horses, owned and used by
the Park Hotel company for transportation
purposes, are allowed to monopolize the
best range on the reserve, and to devour
the heritage that by right belongs TO the
game. Last season the company harvested
1000 tons of hay from land in the park,
for their stage horses and mules, and this,
too, in the face of the fact that 1t left the
game without sufficient winter pasturage.
To this is due the steady determination Of
elk and buffalo beyond the park limits.
where they have strayed in search Of better
heritage.
Something in the neighborhood of sos, 900,
Mr.. Fullerton claims, has been wasted and
f~rittered away in building useless roads,
or in fooling away time on roads ordered
by the government, but prejudicial to the
interests Of the company, and. therefore,
never completed.

Mr.. ]. Fullerton of Red Lodge, Mont, has
written a letter to President Roosevelt con-
tanning disclosures relative to the manage
ment Of the Yellowstone National park
and calling the attention Of the executive
and congress to the necessity of remedy
ing certain abuses. Mr.. Fullerton, like
Buffalo Jones and other western men, re-
ports the Washington Post, is interested In
the protection and preservation of the
native game animals Of North America, es-
p~ecially the small and constantly dwindling
remnant in the National park, and about a
month ago came to Washington with a view
to laying the matter before the proper au-
thorities. He was unable at that time, how
ever, to gain what he desired, but at the
presidents request wrote and forwarded the
letter above mentioned, which, to say the
least, is an eye-opener as to the way things
are being carried on in the nations great
game preserve.
While In Washington Mr.. Fullerton was
seen by a Post reporter, to whom he re-
lated the following facts. which form the
body Of the letter to President Roosevelt,
but which he at that time was unwilling
to have published. Now, however, that he
has inaugurated his crusade in behalf Of
better game protection, the facts are IRE
leased and are given in the following, just
as stated by the captain, who proposes to
sustain and defend all that he charges:
He first states that the latest report Of
Captain John Pitcher, the park guardian, is
utterly misleading as to the number OF
animals in the park. Among other things
this report states that there are now from
80, 900 to 50, 900 elk on the reserve, while Mr..
Fullerton declares the actual number to be
less than one-tenth Of 80, 1000. He states that
before coming to Washington he took n
drive over two-thlrds of the
reservation, and that during this trip he
failed to discover tracks or any other
evidences Of elk. That number Of elk, he
claims, would soon exhaust the pasturage
in the Yellowstone reserve.
The truth In regard to the elk, he states,
is Just this: Owing to the growth and ex-
pansion OF the secret society known as the
Order Of Elks, a great demand has arisen
of late years for the canine teeth Of elk,
and this demand has extended into other
Omaha daily bee., 1902-12-14

quarters to such an extent that today elk
teeth are almost as valuable as some of
the varieties Of precious stones.
As a result OF this they are being slaught-
cred by the thousand in the forest reserve
to the south OF the park, by unprincipled
hunters, who kill them in season and out.
These men, who, according to Mr.. Fuller
ton, literally swarm around the borders OF
the park, make no use Of the carcass, ant
lers and hide of the animals which they
thus w%antonly slaughter, merely removing
the teeth, and leaving the remains as a
feast for the wolves and bears which infest
this neighborhood.
This, however, is only one phase OF the
question. The states bordering the park
have each a law authorizing the payment
Of a liberal reward fer the destruction Of
wolves, bears or other destructive carni-
vores. These laws we're enacted at the
instance of the sheep ranchers. who hope
by this means to protect their herds from
the attacks OF natural enemies. The people
living in the immediate neighborhood of
the park are, for the most part, engaged in
sheep raising, which, he states, is becom-
ing more burdensome and precarious year
by year, by reason Of the protection and en-
enlargement afforded by the Yellowstone
park to this class of animals. Aside from
the fact that the park management makes
very little effort to keep dow or to ex-
terminate these animals, which are thriving
and increasing at the expense of all the
others, the wanton destruction Of elk to
the south OF the park for the sake OF their
teeth has attracted wolves, bears, pumas
and lynxes from every direction, and when
the elk becomes scarce and the beasts OF
prey can no longer thrive and fatten upon
what the teeth hunters have destroyed they
turn their attention to the sheep folds Of
the ranchmen. Then, when the latter take
arms against the c%arnivores all they have
to do to escape destruction Is to retreat
within the national reserve.
The buffalo, he states, are reduced to
twenty-five head, and sre driven about
over the reserve in an aimless, addle-
headed fashion by the park employees, Oft
entlmes resulting in their straying beyond
bounds and being killed. The reservation,
