Our troubles" said taxiderm,st, ARE
many, but our chief complaint is that not
a single American millionaire has gone In
| strong for a collection of heads and horns.
! Nor can a single public institution in the
United States ightfully boast Of a COL
lection that will compare favorably with
even the third rate collections in Europe.
For some reason or other. the directors
OF museums do not seem to comprehend
the full biological value OF a good coll
lection. and hence they do not care to spend
money to secure heads and horns Of animals
that are rapidly becoming extinct. In the
twenty-five years have been in business,
do not believe that have sold SIS 900
worth Of goods to museums, and l am the
largest importer and dealer In my line in
America.
As for the millionaire, II seems to I've
almost an impossibility to awaken him to
the importance Of making a collection.
He will buys head or two and couple
of dozen pairs Of horns and then he viii
b. satisfied. Maybe. during the course of
his lifetime, he spends as much AZ 5000
with taxidermist; and. then again. maybe
he doesn't.
Il attribute the American millionaire's
neglect OF the field OF taxidcrmy to his
hobby Of establishing game preserves. He
says to himself: Instead Of having mere
horns and heads around me. IN have the
real things-the live animals. But he for
gets that he cannot have many Of the most
noted animals Of modern times in his pre-
serves, for the simple reason that the few
specimens now alive cannot he obtained for
love or money.
take the Alpine ibex, for instance.
The King Of Italy owns the only twenty
now alive. and to kill one Of them means
lifelong imprisonment. A millionaire could
not secure one Of these animals. no matter
how much money he might offer for IL, bu.
he could buy quite few heads and horn.
at prices ranging from SIS to $3.50, which arc
reasonable when you remember that the
Alpine ibex is extinct for all practical pur-
poses.
As this Is also eve o. many other ani-
mals-not a few of y aioh are American-tt

people of Holly were aroused from
their slumber by cry of fire.
The residence of B. L. Ferguson,

to be ablnze. and the fire had
gained such headway before assis-

be done except 10 remove all Of

CRABBE CANED

The Senate this morning presented
President Clarence L. Crabbe with a
handsome gold-headed Kauwila wood
cane, suitably inscribed. The original
idea had been to make it a pleasant
First of April jocularity, but it was not
possible to have everything prepared in
time, so it was postponed to this morn
ing.
The presentation took place at roll
call. Senator Cecil Brown made the
presentation in a speech which under
a yelled roast" expressed his fellow
members good will and esteem for the
president of the Senate President
Crabbe was very much in the dark
while the speech was being made, and
was aghast at some of the things said.
His surprise and confusion on this point
only giving way to embarrassment at
the fattering esteem and opinion of
him expressed in the fift presented.
He made a very suitable response
thanking his fellow members of the
Senate for their good opinion of him
and their kindly feeling of him. The
gold headed of the cane bears the in
scription ITO C. l.. Crabbe, with the
good wishes of the Senate April l.,
