Don,t KiII the Birds.

In nearly every state in the
Union there are laws on the statue
books to protect the birds from
wanton destruction by alleged del
vers into the science of ornithology
and those sent out by firms for the
collection of rare plumages to be
worn upon the hats sof the beauti-
full sex,
West Virginia has made ineffect-
usl and fatnous attempts through
the legislature to stop the needless
slaughter of the songsters, but it is
evident that the woods do not ring
with their notes as in years past,
for they are surely and certainly
being exterminated.
1t has been we'll said that bird
less land is dreary land; when the
silence is unbroken by the songs
of birds there is a loneliness that
is oppressive. They are our friends
and We are their enemies. From
the fine lady who decorates her hat
with the remains of the dead song
sters of the fields and the forests,
to the thoughtless boy who cruelty
robs the nests of the birds for his
own diversion, including the idle
sportsman who regards everything
with feathers and that fly as tar
get for his senseless workmanship,
a war of determinations has been
going on against the songsters, un-
til everything points to their ap-
preaching determination.
That they are the farmers
friend, considered from no higher
standpoint than the protection of
growing crops against the depre-
dations of harmful insects, is a
fact that will not admit of denial,
but they are the friends of univer-
sal mankind in a nobler and high
or sense. The man who does not
love to see and hear the birds has
a good deal of the savage remain
ing in him and he who wantonly
destroys them is in need of some
restraining influence in the shape
of law. that will open the wsy to a
higher and better state of civiliza-
tion.
In those states where the lives
of birds are jealousIy guarded, it is
surprising to see how plentiful
they are.
The game warden of West Vir-
ginia might give some attention to
the growing evil and his time
would be equally as well spent as
in looking for the unlawful de-
etruotion of fish and game

FOR OLD YOUNG MEN.

In these days of fast living and
hard thinking most men feel old at
thirty five or forty and think that
their best days are past; ten years
later they believe that they are
nearly ready for the grave and that
there is no need to strive for sue
cess if they have Lnot attained it,
and if the world has smiled upon
them, they labor under the delus-
ion it is just as well to "take things
easy" thereafter and calmly await
the gathering to their fathers.
To such, John Pierpont Morgan
aged sc. has set an example that is
worthy of consideration. Up until
the half century mark was passed
he had been a fairly we'll to do
banker who had no noed to fear
about where his breakfast was com
ing from, and his credit at the re-
tail stores was A l. Yet he did not
measure up with the top notchers
in the financial field, and had there
not been indomitable ambition and
courgage in the makeup of this
wonderful product of the nine
teenth century, he probably would
have passed the remaining years of
his life in comparative obsourity.
But buoyed up with a strong,
healthy body, an active mind and
a stiff back bone, Mr.. Morgan did
not quit as the majority do; on the
other hand, hh ignored his age. he
buckled down to seriyus work and
he hustled with the fervor of youth.
He cracked his fingers at millions
and forced Sage and and the Goulds
and the Vsnderbilts all to bow to
him.
AT sixty years of age he took a
fresh start in life and ventured on
wider and more dangerous seas in
the financial world. He originated
the combination idea that has ia.
ken such hold of the country, and
in single concern, he united all
the great iron and steel companies
of this country. He taught Eng
land to forget that "Brittania rules
the waves" through his efforts all
the steamships of this country and
most of those of Greal Britain were
brought under one management.
For the fellow of thirty-five and
over. who has had some hard
knocks and who is likely to get
more; who is half discouraged and
prematurely old, this man Morgan
should be an inspiration.
If the mind is kept clear and
courage alive, success should come
to any man at fifty or even at the
allotted time-three score years and
ten. A mans work is done with
the brain, and that most wonderful
component of the body does not
grow old, unless you drown it with
whiskey or undermine it with faint
heartedness. 1t is we'll to keep in
mind that even though one does
not succeed to the limits of his am
bition, it is satisfaction. to know
that he has faithfully tried, and
that is all that is expected.
Mr.. Morgan has taught us that
there is no age limit to succefs. for
he began building the worlds
greatest aggregation of capstal at
sixty years Of age.
He kept plodding away and sue

A Common Destiny.

God is working out a plan in
the world, and all his movements
are directed to common destiny.
This destiny is the saving of the

ages and see the steady march of
the events toward the realization
of this end. We move on togeth-
