President Roosevelt the Second 70
Wear a Mustache-Most Of the Chief
Executives Clean Shaven-Chester
Arthur's Facial Adornment.

When Roosevelt is inaugurated ON
March 4. 1905, he will be the second
President with a mustache. Cleve-
land was the first.
Whatever the presidency of this
country has done for the i~ncumbents,
1t has not been productive of boards.
The first Of our chief executives
were al clean shaven as Be%nedictine
friars. j.. @. Adams was the first to
break the rule, but he was not a full
bearded President. His facial growth
Of hair hardly came up to what are
usually termed side whiskers, but they
were a trife more expansive than the
Scotch Presbyterian type.
When he retired the beardless presl-
dent came in again with Jackson, but
his successor. Van Buren,, brought to
the White House almost an exact pat
tern Of the whiskers grown by J.. q.
Adams.
William Henry Harrison again set
the beardless face. The seven who
came after were clean shaven.
When Mr.. Lincoln was elected there
was not a hair on his face, but before
he finished his first term he wore a
sparse beard, with clean shaven upper
lip. One OF the authenticated stories
is that he did this to please a child
Grant was the first President 18th
a full short beard. His immediate
successor, Hayes, was the first to veal
full, long whiskers. covering his shirt
front. Garfield also wore a full beard,
but was less luxuriant than that OF
Hayes.
Arthur. who was the most correct
dresser of all the Presidents. was the
first in the list to grow the Burnside
type of whiskers.
Benjamin Harrison's beard was full,
with a slight tendency to curl at the
end, and was tinged with gray.
After Cleveland the clean shaver
face returned with Mckinley. The
mustache came in for the second time
when Roosevelt succeeded.

Election Bets Won and Lost.

One of the heaviest eastern winners
by the Republican victory is Thomas
L. Woodruff. ex-iieutenant governor OF
New York state, whose bank account
has been swelled about $50 900. OF
this amount $4,000 was wagered with
Senator McCarren and his friends that
Parker would not have $4,000 plura,i-
ty in Kings county. $10,0 O that Roose-
welt would carry the state and $500
even that Higgins would be elected.
The bet or the state was made at 2 to
l. TIE morning Of election Mr.. Wood
ruff sent word to the McCarren peo-
pie that he had 100000 more to bet
tfat Parker would not get 5000 in
the county. He could not place the
money. Congressman Tim Sullivan
backed Parker and is a heavy loser
on the result.

We have no law limiting the num-

torious fact that many pseudo-sports-
men are satisfied only when the am
munition is exhausted or the birds are
all killed. This defect in our laws
should by all be cured by limit
ing each hunter to a certain number Of
birds per day"
The warden believes there should be

ly recommends the passage of a law
imposing severe penalties for such
waste, and requiring all hunters to ac-
count for the meat of every big game
killed.
In relation to private propagation
the warden says:
Legislation to encourage the prop
aeation of game animals and birds
ought not to be postponed. 1t is bet
ter to have them in the private pre-
serves of our citizens than to suffer
them to be wantonly destroyed. A
stringent law to prevent hunting upon
the premises of a t%axpaying resident
Except with the consent of the owner)
ought to be enacted.
According to the reports received
from one hundred and five guides, non.
resident hunters killed in this state
during the past hunting season one
hundred and n~inety7six elk, fifty-eight
antelope, seventeen deer and twelve
mountain sheep. About twnty bears
were also killed by non-residents. Each
big game animal killed legally by a
nonresident represents an outlay OF
about $275."
I'm conclud ng his excellent report
Mr.. Nowlin says:
AS a rule, the pioneer-the man
who came west when buffalos were
reckoned by the hundred thousand
is more friendly to game protection
than the settler of a more recent date,
whose knowledge of big game was de
rived from books or tradition. 1t Is a
well authenticated fact that some grad
uateS Of the leading universities and
other men of prominence, who never
handle firearms outside of a shooting
gallery, will eagerly bargain with a
tusk hunter for the unlawful spoils of
his nefarious calling. Education and
moral suasion will not entirely over
come the inherent propensity to kill
regardless of season or limit. Any
law for the protection of game which
fails-to provide the means necessary
for its enforcement VIII be a useless
encumbrance upon our statute books

and fish matters are advised to send to

A PROM INENT
Lawyer Praises VinoI.

The manager of the Red Cross Phar-
macy states he is continually receiv-
ing such letters as the following in
regard to his famous cod liver oil
preparation, Vinol.
Mr.. John Kinney of So West 2Sth
St, Indianapolis, Ind, M of the most
noted lawyers of the state of Indiana,
writes: The grippe left me in a
nervous, weakened. run down condition.
l took Vinol with the very best of re
suits. 1t made me feel like a different

run down, weak or debilitated, to cure
stomach troubles or chronic colds,
coughs or bronchitis. What Vinol did
for Mr.. Kinney | can guarantee it will
do for others or | will return the money
paid me for it every time.
Remember, Vinol is not a patent
medicine; everything in it is printed
on the bottle. 1t contains in a concen.
trated form all of the curative,
