Birds Plant Trees.

An old-time Arizona woodchopper,
according to the Indianapolis News,
says the birds have planted thousands
of the trees now growing al over
Arizona. These birds have a habit Of
burying small seeds in the ground
with their beaks, and they frequently
bury large numbers of the small pine
nuts in the ground, many of which
sprout and grow. He was walking
through the pines with an eastern gen
tleman a short time ago when one of
these birds flew from a tree to the
ground, struck it's bill into the ground
and quickly flew away. When told
what had happened the eastern man
was skeptical, but the two went to the
spot and with a knife blade dug out a
sound pine nut from depth Of about
an inch and half Thus it will be
seen that nature has her own plan for
forest perpetuation.- Chicago Post.

District Attorney BuCkmaster Notifies
Chicago Companies That Work
men Must Be Protected.
PROSECUTIONS WILL FOLLOW
Ice Fields in the County Must Be Closely
Pedestrians From Danger.

With the coming of the blasts of
winter District Attorney Buckmaster
has taken up the fight for the protec.
tion Of the lives of people residing in
the lake regions of Kenosha county
and an imperative demand has been
sent to the Jefferson and Knicker-
booker Ice companies in Chicago
ordering the managers of the COM
panies to fence up all holes which may
be left in the ice during the coming ice
harvest.
On every lake in the county the ice
companies when cutting ice have left
large holes which, when covered with
thin layer Of ice, become dead fall
for the unwary pedestrian who is
forced to take the path across the iceto
reach the other side of the lake. In
seasons past score of lives have been
lost on account of the negligence of
the ice companies and shorl time
ago one of the managers of the
Haegele company while driving across
Twin lakes was caught in one of the
dead falls which had been left by his
own men. Haegele's driver lost his
life in the freezing water and although
Haegele was rescued after being in the
water for more than fifteen minutes he
has never recovered from the accident.
The building of the fences means a
great expense to the different COM
panies and it is possible that they will
make legal fight to test the constitu-
ton atty of the law by virtue of which
the order is issued. The ice companies
own the land adjoining the lakes and
for this reason they hold that they
own the surface of the lake to the CEN
ter. If this claim is good they set up
the defense that all people walking on
the ice are trespassers and that they
venture on the thin ice at their own
risk.
Last season under protest the Knick-
erbocker company consented to build
a few fences but they did not carry out
all the provisions of the law.
With the present cold weather the
ice harvest will begin in another week
and the companies in Chicago are al
ready beginning to get tog ether their
forces of men for the winter. 1t is ex.
pected that five thousand men will be
employed IN the harvest in the county.

The making Of new worlds record for

such extraordinary performances, the max
ing or breaking of the one-mile record
invariably attracts the greatest attention.
In Dick Welles, the three year-old son OF
King Eric and Teas Over, America has
a Thoroughbred able TO cover a mile in
1877 rs, as was shown in a match race at
the Harlem track. in Chicago, last Friday.
Three times within the last three years
has tho one-mile worlds record for oir-
cular track been lowered in this country.
In 1901 Brigadier, four-year-old. carry

pounds up, eclipsed Brigadier's time by

The Irish Land Purchase Bill Law

OF the amendments made to the Irish
Land Purchase bill by the Lords, those
which were denounced by the Irish
Nationalist Members as seriously detri-
mental to the measure were rejected
by the Commons, and the bill, once more
sent to the upper house was adopted
by that chamber without any further
attempt to change it. Having received
King EDWARD 8 signature, the bill is now
a law, and will become operative on the
first day of November next,
OF course nobody pretends that the
Land Purchase act will furnish COM
plete solution even Of lreland's agrarian
problem-m, less that, unaccompa-
MED by any concession to the desire
for Home Rule, it will extinguish Irish
discomfort The congested districts on

Moreover, the new law does nothing
for the agricultural laborers; but Mr.
WYNDHAM, the Chief Secretary for Ire
land, has promised to introduce next
year a measure framed expressly for
their benefit. We have no doubt that
he will keep his promise, provided he
retains his office, which however, is by
no means certain, 1t must also be ad-
mitted that under the terms of the act
the tenants will, MS rule have to pay
for their holdings larger prices than
would have been exacted from them had

eight years until after the third judicial

Gems and Clothes of Comm oner,

The editor of The Commoner has been
lecturing in Indiana on The Value of an
Ideal, Life is not measured by its in

TIoosier hearers. This, as an Indtaru polls
Sentinel reporter kindly tells us, is one
OF Mr.. BRYAN's really beautiful gems Of
thought Mr. BRYANs overflow has
always been large, and his income is
satisfactory at present But he doesn't
want to be rich. II ia his ambition ito
help to make this Government 80 good
that a private citizen here will be equal

once heard an orator at a Washington
banquet, probably a Dollar Dinner, say
that "it is easier for camel to pass
through a needles eye than for rich
man to be a Democrat. Remembering
how many of his Democratic scholars
have grown rich since 1895, Mr.. BRYAN
explains that rich man can be Demo-

a Democrat if his money has him.

Magistrate Hogan and CommisslO Oner
Greene.

Magistrate HoGAN's charges OF cor
ruption and Generalization in the Po-
lice Department prodCced an immediate
effect This was not only because of the
specific instances Of wrongdoing which
he cited, but also because Of his special
opportunities for accurate observation.
For nearly forty years he has been an
observer Of police methods, much Of the
time from the police court bench; and
his deliberate judgment lis not to be
brushed aside as a complaint might be
from less experienced observer.
The public. not less than the officials
of the department, recognized the seri-
BUSINESS of charges coming from such
source. Commissioner GREENE will not
be able by halfway measures to over
come the effect which Magistrate Ho-
CANS words have produced. The vim
dication Of the police by police officials
will not suffice. A whitewashing report,
unless accompanied by convincing evil
dence, will make the situation worse,
rather than better, than it is now; and
nothing to the credit Of Commissioner
GREENE is to be gained by an attempt
to minimize the charges by calling at
tention to the Magistrates political
affiliations, or by recalling the strained
relations that Mr.. GREENE has brought
about between the Board Of Magistrates
and himself
There is another feature of the Hogan
charges deserving consideration. Com
missioner GREENE and his deputies seem
to have had no suspicion that anything
was wrong in the department until an
outsider called their attention to it. Four
highly paid officials, devoting all their
time TO the management Of the police,
were completely in the dark, if their
conduct is to be regarded az a true record
of their mental whereabouts, to condi-
tions which a competent observer de-
clares had been notorious
The fact is that il Magistrate HoGAN's
charges are well founded Commissioner
GREENE is convicted either Of incompe-
tence or Of an attempted imposition on
the public, if, knowing the facts, he did
nothing to remedy the situation.

you say that Native AmeriCanism was founded

Catholics had remained In poverty. isolation
and political inactivity, their presence here
would not have caused the Known othins

The object OF the movement was to keep
the Catholic immigrants out Of politics. as is
shown by the campaign motto. Put none but
Americans on guard" II cannot be said that
its aim WAS to prevent the establishment of a
Catholic State Church or to block the en-
trance of Catholicity into the field OF politics
Our Constitution forbids political action OF a
religious character. and II the whole male pop

the voting strength to secure a respectful able
minority in Congress, much less the two
