Regret has been often expressed re-

many species of wild animals.
OF late, however, some of the worlds
millionaires have begun to devote their
attention to the task of preserving
them, and numbers of wealthy men
have established or endowed parks
and private geological gardens, in
which buffaloes, antelopes, giraffes,
gnus, and other dwindling species are
carefully cherished. In some cases
herds of bison are kept, after the fash

CoIIapsible Boats of Canvas Which

The soldiers Of the United States En-

of the greatest problems which has
confronted generals in command of an
army when on the march. Small un-
fordable streams are often encountered
by the army and these must be crossed
in the shortest time possible. In fact
large rivers often confront an army
when about to give battle to the enemy,
and it would take weeks, if not months,
to construct even temporary bridges
to allow the men with their heavy
ornaments to cross. The pontoon

Patti Lyle Collins, head of the "Open-
ing and Unmailable Division" of the
'Postoffice Department.
Each holiday season brings to her
desk thousands and thousands OF
Santa Claus, letters and were she of
the ordinary type of clerk, thinking
only of the salary she draws twice
month, these letters might go into
Uncle Sans waste basket without so
much as a thought for the writer's.
Not so with Mrs. Collins. Through
her generous heart, her love for chill
dren and, possibly, with a memory or
two of her own when she, too, believed
in the real existence of the children's
patron saint, this lovable woman at
tends first to her duties of returning
the letters to their writers If this is
possible and then she plays Mrs.
Santa Claus" to her army of little
friends.
Christmas Presents to the Children
When such a thing is possible Mrs.
Collins finds out the addresses Of these
children, sends them some little thing
they have asked for and gets her
friends interested in them until she
has now earned the title which came
to her so long ago merely through her
associations with this part of Uncle
Sans postoffice.
This is rather the sentimental side
of Mrs. Collins work, but there is an
other and scientific phase of it which
has made her invaluable to the Gov
ernment. She is the official chiro-
graphical expert of the Department
and through her efforts each year
ninety per cent of mail matter bear
ing manifestly indecipherable ad-
dresses finds its way to the person to
whom it is addressed.
Mrs. Collins is linguist and deep
student. Added to this she has stored
away in her brain fund Of general

ineligible. Among the hundreds of
such which she received the other day
was one addressed to "Ygnac Lech,
Combryja Co, brot stryt no 9O3,
SZanony Pan"
How many, or rather how few, peo-
pie would have known how to go about
locating this person. The letter was
postmarked Florence. Mrs. Collins
own store of information told her that
the Cambria Iron Works of Johns
town, Pa, was employing a large num-
ber of Italians and she sent the letter
on. Sure enough Mr.. "Yanac Lech"
was there and received the letter
which, without Mrs. Collins assist
ance would never have fallen into his
hands.
A facetious s'adent al the University
of Virginia wrote to a young society
girl in Washington an addressed the
envelope entirely in Greek. 1t takes
greater obstacles than that to balk
Mrs. Collins and the young woman re-
reived her letter as promptly as if
it had been addressed in the most
legible English hand. The list of such
letters is almost unlimited in length.
A Spaniard sent a letter to "Sr. Fer
nado Maya, Fuerte galen Colo" and it
was promptly forwarded to Mr.. Maya
at Fort Garland, Colorado"

and occupies a tiny apartment in one

POLITICAL TAXATION.
LEGISLA TON LIKELY REQUIRING
PUBLICATION OF ALL LARGE
CONTRIBUTIONS.

such a Bill, introduced Last Year,
was Looked upon as Crank Meas
ure-Will be on a Different Basis
This Session.
Exposure of the practice of the
great lie insurance companies and
other corporations, OF making contri-
buttons to political campaign funds
and Of devoting large amounts of
money to influence legislation will
bring before the next session of
congress the question Of the passage
of bill similar to that introduced at
the last session by Representative
Bourke Cochran, of New York, and
Familiarity known as the Corrupt
Practice" bill. 1t may not be that
this bill will be taken up and given
the serious consideration which it
was denied at the last session, but
that a bill containing provisions of
the same general description as those
of the Cochran bill will be introduced
and pressed to a vote is a moral GER
tainty.
The Cochran bill provided that
every contribution of more than 500
to a national campaign fund should
be reported to the clerk of the dis
trict court of the United States,
The Breckenridge news., 1905-12-20
Criminal penalties were provided for
violations of the law.
Looked Upon as a Cochran Oddly.


Looked Upon as a Cochran Oddly.
The bill was treated with derision
last winter, both by the daily press
and by gentlemen of the house of
Representatives, the Senate and
Third House. 1t was worth laugh,
people said. There was very little
corruption, they averred. The idea
that corporations employed legisla-
tive agents and disbursed huge sums
of money for or against certain bills
was moonshine doled out by sensa-
tionalists to crafty the morbid fancy
and the appetite for scandal OF a Pc
culiar class of people.
The legislative inquiry into the af-
fairs and conduct of the Equitable
Life and Mutual insurance companies
at New York seems to have placed
the matter of campaign contributions
and legislative disbursements in
other than a humorous Tight. 1T mat
ters not whether the corporations
come forward voluntarily with their
contributions to campaign funds or
whether they are solicited and hound
ed by campaign collectors until they
contribute-the result is the same.

is pre-eminently the home meal of the
year the French chefs have to give
way to women who know just how to
prepare the generous wholesome
dishes that an American citizen looks
forward to finding on his dinner table
on the joyous holiday. President
Roosevelt also shows a fondness for
carving the turkey himself.
A good old fashioned Christmas din
ner, moreover, with all the essentials
from turkey to plum pudding is a reg.
ular institution at the White House
during the present administration.
Perhaps President Roosevelt, with
his assertive good health and his fam
lily of lively young folks, are particu-
ly well qualified to appreciate rous-
ing yule-tide feast, but whatever be
the reason certain it is that during the
Roosevelt regime the Christmas re-
past has become one of the most inn
portant as well as one of the jolliest
meals of the year.

To Be Family Reunion.

President Roosevelt and his family
follow the general policy of all pre-
vious occupants of the White House in
observing Christmas as a family fes-
tival. This year it will have especial
significance as a reunion, since of late
months the junior members of the
Roosevelt household have been scat
tered as never before, by reason of
their attendance at different schools
and colleges. The Roosevelt Christ
mas, while a family affair, is by no
means confined to the immediate
household. The Roosevelt children
have long been allowed to entertain
their numerous cousins on Christmas
and other relatives are likewise in at
tendance, while the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt usually ask a few per-
sonal friends to also join the party.

House is served in the evening and the
