PASSING OF THE MOOSE.
Hugest of the Deer Family Going
the Way of Animals of Pre-
historic Ages.

Reports come from Minnesota that
the moose is fast disappearing from the
northern forests of that state; that the
game wardens are absolutely unable to
cope with the pothunters bent on eating
their meat, tanning their hides, and sell
ing their horns The moose, driven from
the fOrestsby the swarms of mosquitoes,
invade fearlessly the clearings Of the
settlers in their attempts to avoid their
tiny foes, and fall easy victims to the
firearms Of men, says the Chicago Trib-
une.
The great animal, the hugest OF the
deer family, with his fiat shovel horns
and proboscis like nose, is an anachron-
ism. Like the hippopotamus and the
great aux, he seems to belong to pre-
historic age, an age when lizards 20
fathoms long swan in different seas
from those we know to-day, and when
mighty mastadons refreshed their hairy
strength with foliage now buried thou
sands Of feet beneath the glacier ice Of
Alaska Measuring in the 10000, 600
year periods of geology, the moose has
the look Of the contemporary or immedi-
ate successor Of the 100 feet high swans,
which were covered with tough black
leather and fought the sea serpents.
OF the oldentime kind Of animals, the
most have long since departed and the
few and scattered remnants are quickly
passing off the face of the earth In their
train. man, looking at moose or
rhinoceros, feels within him the instinct
that those animals are not of this age;
that they are surviyals from former
con, whereas the sight Of Whitehall deer,
| or elk, or lions, or Zebras, or gorillas
| raises no such emotions in his breast
| though those beasts be equally wild and
| inaccessible.
The moose is following after the buff
| faloes which are grazing on the happy
| grounds where there is no hunting. May
| he find in his new abode interminable
| forests clad in low hanging foliage, that
| he need neither reach vainly above him
| for his nutriment nor painfully fall on
| his knees 10 get at the low lying green
! things may he find the absence OF mos
quitoes only equaled by the absence OF
man, and may neither bear nor wolves
ever modest his young The greatest OF
all deer and Of all American game ami
mails Is almost gone

LIFE IN A FACTORY TOWN.
Enlightening observations of City
Man Who Passed IA Week In
LabOring Community.

You people who live in the city
| think you are strenuous; you think
your business is exacting; you actually
believe that when you die it will be
from nervous prostration.'
The speaker addressed some friends
who, like himself, were homeWard
bound, says the New York Sun. He
continued
But you go to your homes, or to
your clubs, or to your links, or some
where by the sea, and you rest up for
the whirl Of the next day.
Did you ever go to a manufacturing
town, where everybody in the place is
factory man, woman boy or girl? There
is where you find the tired people.
THE homes, or rather the houses in
which the people live, stand unoccupied
from morning until night. Every day
the occupants walk out In droves and
professions to the factory.
For some reason which | cannot ex-
plain most of the men quit work in the
afternoon before the women stop. !
suppose one reason for this is that the
men belong to unions which won't let
them work after certain hour.
Were you ever in one of these fac
tories when the men quit work? The
women, those who are wives, say to
their husbands who are quitting:
=" Go home and put on the potatoes
and get the meat and vegetables ready,
and l will put them under way as soon
as l come
Then, as the men start away, they
will hear a parting admonition: You
might spread the table and have it
ready when l come
THE men go out as meek as lambs.
They go home from the bench to the
drudgery of the house, don't know as
they call it drudgery, but that is what
L would be to you. The women follow.
Perhaps they are happier than some
women Of the city who go home from
shopping or from the matinee.
"The long line trudges homeward and
lakes up the work of the men. The
frugal meal is prepared. 1t may taste
sweeter to these people than course
dinners to which some of us sit down.
| hope it does.
"The sound of the summer wind in
the gathering darkness Of the night
may be more musical than the orches-
ira to which you listen while you dine.
hope so. But the meal over, the
workers Of the day go quickly to bed,
for they must be up with the break of
day.
Il have had occasion to spend a week
in one of these factory towns, and the
life, as l have described It, left me
jaded as no days work in the city ever
did. l speak from observation only.
don't say that these people are I'M
happy, for don't know. But do know
that after the week spent in the fac
.ory town of which speak | came back
to the city more contented man"

stopped and shortly after the third and

TIE GOVERNOR AND BRIBERY.

In the speech delivered before the
Monona Lake assembly the governor
stated that the legislature was corrupt
and had been controlled by money and
he was able to prove it. If any mem
bers have taken money they are guilty
of bribery and if the governor knows
that as the head of the state, 1t was
and is hs duty to have it proven and
have those parties prosecuted. The leg
islature of 1901 accomplished nothing
and the governor covered the state in
his last campaign endeavoring 10 in
duce the people to give him another
trial because the legislature had been
corrupt The people gave him another
trial; the legislature of 1903 accomplish
ed less than its predecessor and the gov
ernor starts out with the same story, 1t
was because the Legislature was corrupt.
If you go to the bottom of the situation
you will find that there is a certain
amount of corruptness in every legisla
ture, but our other governors have been
men that were above paltrY quibblings
and stood for principal and what they
promised was done Are we going to
give man of LaFollette caliber anoth-
er trial.

WHENEVER the summer and vacation
time arrives thousands upon thousands
proceed to enjoy it. Some in one way,
some in another, but with very few ex-
ceptions all go fishing rich and poor,
men and women, labOrers and ministers.
It il described rs one Of the sports that
all are supposed TO indulge in Beyond
a doubt fish IA we'll AS other animals are
intended for food and must be obtained
in some manner, and yet suppose you
would set line and catch rabbit and
then hang him partly in the water until
it died Of exhaustion, that would be
cruelty. What else is it then TO take a
fish with a hook draw string through
its gills and let it hang in the water or
lie in basket until after an hours
struggle it finally dies? In our opinion
fishing is cruel, from the time live
worm or fish il placed on hook to the
time that the captive is allowed TO die.
But if people must fish as we know they
will, then at least have enough mercy
to kill the fish with knife or sharp
blow on the head after taking it from
the water.
