In Harper's James B. Connolly, who
has just returned from trip to the far
north for Harper's Magazine, tells of
the modern method of shooting whales
with q harpoon gun. Mr.. Connolly
made trip on the whaler Skytten:
"Only eighty feet over all, with less
than two feet Of freeboard at her waist
the Skytten seemed q puny craft for
the rather large business of whale-kill-
ing" says Mr.. Connolly. "It was her
equipment, Of course, that made her
strength. Forward. on a platform set
directly in her bow, she mounted a
heavy built muzzle loading harpoon
gun, and on her forward deck she car
ried a lot of appurtenant machinery
winches, hoists and one thing or other,
which were to warp in the whales by
and by.
"The skipper hesitates, and we try
to remember the tales they tell of his
skill.
Wee-hay" he roars, this man who
has killed his thousands-'Wee-hayv he
bellows, under the strain Of it, and he
has been hunting whales for thirty y-five
years. Wee-hay. and boom!-they come
together-the flame and the cloud of
smoke. The harpoon we are not quick
enough to see, but the line that follows
it We do see. From our bow to the
back Of that great creature it leaps-a
long leap-a hundred feet-and where
the line stops We know the harpoon is
buried. Back of the shoulder and Just
above the water line we know it has
gone-lance and shank beneath the
shiny dark blue skin-five feet Of iron
into the middle Of the whale"

= When one of Chicagos two educa-
tional institutions, the University OF
Chicago and the Northwestern Univer-
sity, cannot supply news for the papers
of that city, something is surely the
matter. The latest item comes from
the latter university, and concerns the
goods, who have not yet been 'segre-
gated" as have their sisters Mt the
Harper institution. 1t seems that the
young ladies who live in Willard Hall,
one of the domitories, are frivolously
inclined. "Fudge-parties' and similar
dissipations engross their attention at
the expense of their work Recently
some of the young women got together
and formulated rules of conduct which
barred out all parties OF this kind and
cut down "calling" evenings and hours.
Hitherto the inmates Of the hall have
been allowed to receive callers on two
nights in the week, from 7.30 to 10.
Under the new rules callers may come
but one night in the week and stay only
from 7.30 to 0. The result of these
stringent rules has been a terrific rum
pus on the part of minority of young
women who are socially inclined, and a
strike is threatened.

A GAME BIRD OF CIVILIZATION
The Bird Has Gone West and Become
Common There.

Common There.
Reports of the scarcity of quail in
Northern Ohio are 50 general that
there Is no room for doubt that adverse
weather conditions last winter cut
down the stock of the most popular
American game bird far below the
normal average. Bob White" seems
in danger of determination in some
localities where there are usually quail
in plenty.
But it is only an apparent danger.
With ordinary seasons and little bet
ter protection than Is commonly given
by farmers and game wardens the
quail will rapidly make good their
losses and be as plentiful rs ever. The
bird is hardy, brave and adapted to
civilization. Unlike the grouse or
partridge, often called the pheasant,
quail prefer open fields and flourish
much better where the land is quite
generally titled than they do in wild
and forest-co, cred regions.
1t Is not doubtful that the numbers
of quail in the United States very much
exceed the highest average in good
seasons when white men first landed
on American soil. The bird has gone
West with the plow and become COM
mon where it was unknown in the days
when the Indians held the land. Its
range is lar greater than it was two or
three centuries ago, and it is more COM
mon where it was found at that time.
So quail will never die out if given
n decent chance by the laws and by
public sentiment. The lac: of fair
opportunity to flourish ir the United
States would L, q disgrace to the coun-
try. Not only is Bob White" 4 fine
game bird, but his CHEEKY call is
pleasure to lovers Of nature, and he
has brave American spirit which
ought to make him the National IA
vorite, which he is.-Clevcland Leader.

The Value of the American Hen.

The growth of the poultry industry
In this country is one of the wonders
of the time. AS producer of wealth
the American hen is a marvel. To il
lustrate the increased earning powers
of this industrious autocrat of the
barnyard 1t may be stated that in MIS-
souri,, during the last fiscal year, the
sum derived from the sale of poultry
and eggs ran SIT, 900 ahead of all other
products of the State combined. The
totals show that the old hen, neglected
and left by the farmers to forage for
herself while he devoted his attention
to the field crops, outstripped them all,
including corn, wheat, oats. fax, timo-
thy seed, clover seed, millet seed, to-

Mississippi is doing pretty well il
the hanging line just now and the
hanging is done in a legal way too.
Tomorrow there will be four legal
hangings in the state and others will
follow soon. The northern states
cannot say that this state never
takes time to try nergoes by jury and
when found guilty execute them in a
legal way. A merge nor any other
man has been lynched in the state in
a month or two, but on the other
hand several have, with those today,
been legally exeucted. The time has
come when the people Of some other
state should cease to shake their CORY
locks at this state and point US out to
the world as being so inhuman as to
lynch instead of hang people in the
legal way.

There are five candidates for gov
ernor and all of them will make an
active canvass. Perhaps this is the
largest number that ever ran through
the campaign for that Office, but this
is the first time the nomination is ia
be made by the primary election.
Every candidate will stand q better
showing before the people than he
would before convention for the fac,
that there is not such great amount
of lobbying and trading and such a
good chance for the weakest man to
go in. But the primary mode has
never been tried and it may prove to
have many defects and after the
election the author of the primary
bill will not be certain what the
thing was 1t is hoped, however,
that it will prove all right and that
the strongest man may win.

SOCIAL CLUBS
DISBANDING

WARNING FROM CIVIC LEAGUE
Will Leave But Little For The Cir.
cult Court.
IN THE WAY OF LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Numerous Plans Discussed Fail Il
Suppress Them.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Feb. l8.-Yazoo City has
Inugurated a strong fight against
the blind tiger element in that town
and the fiat has been issued that the
social clubs must be abolished
| Quite a number of these organiZa-
| tions have already disbanded In re-
Spouse to a warning from the civil
league, and when Judge Powell con-
venes the circuit court in Yazoo
City on the 23rd of February there
will be very little in the way of Illicit
liquor traffic for the grand jury to
look after unless the body desires TO
probe past violations.
In this connection an interesting
suggestion comes from Yazoo City
citizen, Mr.. r. l.. Bennett, who pro,
breaking up the blind tiger that the
office of district attorney be changed
from the salary to the fee system,
contending that these officials Will
be more vigorous in prosecuting
offenders if they are paid a fee for
each conviction, the fee to be taxed
rs portion of the costs In each case,
and to be paid by the person convict
ed if he is solvent. !.
Mississippi had her district at
torneys on the fee system number
of years ago, and quite a number of
the wealthiest men in the state are
indebted to the system for the crater
portion of their wealth, as the Office
was quite profitable. and was one of
the most sought-after In the state.
1t is well-known fact that certain
district attorney once had himself
indicted by the grand jury on the
charge of playing poker in order to
collect a fee for his own prosecution,
the fee being larger than the usually
assessed in such cases.
Numers plans are discussed from
time to time for the suppression of
the blind tiger, but none have yet
been brought toward that promises
to prove universally successful, and
it is not likely there will be so long
as there is strong public sentiment
against giving evidence against the
violators, and goodly share of the
population that patronizes the Illicit
joints.
