THE PECULIAR LOON.
This Bird Has q Hide About ms Tough
us That of an OK.

The loon differs from other birds in
number Of ways. | have reason to
think that many people are unaware
OF some at least of these peculiarities
The loon has Il hide as tough as an OK,
and its feathers cannot be plucked
without first scalding the bird as you
would hog. This incident will giva
some idea Of the toughness of the hide:
About thirty-five years ago, when
was living in Michigan, a loon was
shot at with II shotgun industriously
all summer without apparently doing
him any harm. In the fall | killed him
with rifle just to convince the people
that loon could be shot and killed.
lie had many times been shot at with
rifle by the same people who had
used the shotgun, and they had become
he lodged the shot in that way. / had
seen them shoot at him number Of
times, and l could see the splash Of
bullet or shot in the water before the
loon dived. | ridiculed the idea of the
lodging, and that led to my shooting
him to support my contention. When [
skinned the bird l found and counted
over hundred No. shot, all of them
stuck to the inside of the hide and SO
doing him no permanent harm. 1t Is
remarkable that he was never hit in
the eye nor sustained a broken wing.
Another thing peculiar to the loon Is
that after the chicks are hatched If the
mother wishes to move far, she Will
make shallow dive and come up un-
der her babies and swim off with them
on her back. The person that succeeds
in photographing her under such condi-
tons may well claim the pennant. On
ly once have | seen loon shoulder her
young, although for over twenty years
l lived in the part of Michigan where
then there was the best chance imagl-
nable to watch looms. Now the timber
has been cut off around most of the
lakes, and such favorable conditions
for observation no longer exist
Although | have only once seen a
loon shoulder her babies, have seen
her swimming with them on her bacH
many times. Once one swan within

GAMBLING is VULGAR.
1t Is an Irrational and Ignorant
Struggle For Money.

1t Is an Irrational and Ignorant
Struggle For Money.
All gambling is vulgar. Call it what
you WILL assign for it whatever mo-
tive you please. 1t is an irrational, an
ignoble struggle for money.
Money got for nothing on the turning
of card or the revolution of wheel
bringetli good to no man, not even to
him who wins it. And to him that
losoth? Sometimes perdition, often,
very often, that sinking sensation, that
tired feeling. even where the value loss
is immateral, which follows futile ef-
fort and says as plain as whisper in
the ear "The worlds against you"
Gambling, like everything else, is rel
ative. The sin lies in the overplay,
with its collateral vices, chief among
them improvidence. The reigning SOW
ereign, who has only his money to lose,
and plenty of that, Is not to be classed
with the banker or the banker ssconfl-
dental. clerk or secretary, who has ev-
erything at stake, character included.
though each plays for the same end
that Is, the diversion and excitement.
Asked what was the greatest pleasure
in life, Fox said, 'Winning at cards"
and'the next, Losing at cards" There
was a gambler for the love of 1t, and
yet Fox played never for high stakes
after he was forty. If he played at all
