They are pretty particular about
some things in good old Massachusetts.
For instance, the picking of cranber-
ries A judge of the Superior court in
Plymouth county has decided that the
gathering of cranberries to save them
from threatened damage by weather
conditions is not work Of necessity or
charity within the meaning of the Sum
day law of that State. The decision
was rendered in the case brought
against a grower on Cape Cod who was
trying to save his berries before the
coming Of the heavy frost of last
month which overlook many growers
with their crops half gathered and
spoiled great quantities of berries, and
who to gain that end permitted his
gatherers to work on Sunday. The de-
cision was rendered Notwithstanding
the testimony of the five largest cram
berry growers in the State that in or
der to harvest the crop properly it was
necessary to pick every available day
during the harvesting season.
The case IS to be carried to the SUI
|preme court, and in the course Of time
we shall know of.course picking cram
berries on Sunday to save them isn't
as important as saving souls on that
day, but It looks important to the own

CHEERING

It is announced that Great Britain
and Russia have agreed to submit the
question of the responsibility and pun
ishment Of Russian officers Of the Bal
tic squadron concerned in the North
Sea tragedy to mixed commission or
court of inquiry. The Car has approx
ed the agreement. The inquiry will be
held at The Hague under the rules of
The Hague Convention. The talk is
that quite independently Russia and
Great Britain offered each other the
same solution. Thursday night in
structions were telegraphed to AM
bassador Benckendorff in London to
propose an international inquiry to the
British government, and Friday MORN
ing Ambassador Hardinge, who had
received almost similar instructions
during the night, submitted a proposal
for commission to Foreign Minister
LamsdorG. ## ~
Good and cheering. Every such ac-
ton is a gain and points promisingly
to the time when all wars between
civilized people may be avoided, What
q pity that commission couldn't have
dealt with the trouble between Russia
and Japan. It could have done the
right and just thing, and thus spared
the world the contemplation of a war

THE AMERICAN ELK.

Think OF deer as tall as a sixteen
hand horse, with head, neck and chest
of rich dark brown, body a light vel
Iowish brown, with yellowish-white
area on the rump about the base Of the
tail, and crowned with a pair Of mas
siye brown antIers, perhaps sixty in
ches long and with six sharp tines
apiece, and you viii have a fair mem
tai picture of a full-grOwn male elk,
as he appears in the fall and winter.
The female, or doe, has much the same
appearance, except that she has no
antlers at any season Of the year. To
my mind, the elk is the most kingIy Of
deer, not excepting the moose, which is
larger and heavier.
Years ago, the elk was found in all
the northern States and in Canada,
and along the mountain ranges, much
further to the south. But owing to
the advance of civilization and many
less noble causes, this splendid ami
NAL has disappeared from many parts
of its former range, and is practically
extinct east of the Mississippi river.
In fact, it is now abundant in but
one loeality-The Yellowstone National
Park and the country Immediately sur
rounding it. 1t is altogether probable
that within a few years it will dis
appear from all other parts of the
country, unless 1t is quickly protected
by much better laws than are now in
force. Many elk are butchered for
their meat but the craze for mounted
heads, and the barbarous demand for
elk-teeth to be worn as insignia by
members Of the Order of Elks, are re-
sponsible for the slaughter of many
these great creatures every year.
At my home near the Blue Mountain
Forest Game Preserve, we hear every
night sweet-toned, long drawn whis-
tie or bugle note, which is the chal-
lenge call Of the male elk, which he de-
livers through his open mouth, and
with his head thrown back. Sometimes
the call is answered by a rival stag,
and the two will come togther and
fight for mastery and for the ownership
of a herd. Sometimes steal out into
/ the forest, and watch band of these
great creatures, In the dusk or in the
moonlight, and perhaps I come upon
them feeding on the fallen apple in
some ancient orchard. From time to
time the stag will throw back his head,
and the long-drawn whistle will go
echoing through the hills, and at the
end there is often a series of braying
notes which are much less pleasing,
and which suggest those of a donkey.

POLITE POLIoE1f EN.

Policemen are seldom accused of be-
ing too polite, but the chief of police of
Hoboken has come to the conclusion
that the politeness Of some Of his men
needs restraint. 1t appears that he has
argued with the officers that lady" is
not a proper term to apply to the class
Of women commonly brought before the
court, but in vain. The end of his pa
tience came the other day when a po-
liceman brought in woman who had
SO hit him about the head, in resisting
his arrest of male friend that he
could scarcely see. But in his polite
ness he still called the woman ''lady,"
and Chief Hayes has issued a formal
order forbidding the use Of the term In
that way.
OF course the use of "lady" by the
Hoboken policemen has indicated their
respect and consideration for the sex
rather than for such members of 1t as
they have been reluctantly compelled
to take in" And no doubt their appli-
cation Of the word to the perfect la
dies they have arrested has been
pleasing to the said ladies. We suppose
that a lady is one who acts like 9
lady, and ladies are not supposed te
get into trouble with the police on the
street. So there is some justification
for the Hoboken chiefs order, though
| it may for a time lead to a hazy con-
dition of the Hoboken police mind
Policemen and everybody else ought tt
have clear motion Of what lady is.

"bull'' elk is about as dangerous a
brute as ever killed a man for the joy
Of killing him. I have been told by ex-
perienced hunters that on an open
plain and unarmed they would sooner
face wounded tiger than savage
elk. The insane nature of an elH's fu-
ry. they say, would preclude all posi-
bility of escape. If there are trees
about, a man stands good chance:
that is, if he knows anything Of the
ways of the elk. A savage stag gives
little warming Of his murderous inten-
tons. If he sees his intended victim
lat distance, he does not rush at him
wildly, like mad bull, but slowly
saunters over, stopping now and then

Until quite recently there was a
baboon acting as switch tender on one
of the railroads in South Africa. He
was powerful animal, nicknamed
Geese, and was the property of a native
switehman. He had been taught to
turn the switch at points while his
master looked on, but he soon showed
such intelligence in the work that he
came to do it alone. locking the rod and
doing other details as well as a man.
The engineers did not object to his
work and had great confidence in his
ability. He would often Jump on the
shifting engine as it passed on its way
to move cars about the yard. but only
after he had opened the switch for it.
But as soon as the story Of the
baboon's work came to the ears of the
officials they were forced to bounce
Geese for fear of popular indignation
among the patrons of the road, who
might object to their safety being in
the hands of a balloon. +.
