what in the book world, and others in
terested in giving children the proper
book pabulum.
Modern study of the child looks zeal
ously to physical welfare, and, of course
the Child-Lore library is not behind
hand in this matter. Aspecialist on the
fumigation of books has charge of fumi-
cation of volumes in this library, and
every book is fumigated on it's return to
the library. 1t is thought this precau-
ton is especially necessary in children's
libraries, as most children's diseases are
contagious, and contagion turks in the
home of the rich as we'll as in that of the
poor Children's circulating libraries
have been held in the past rather dan
gerOus, because of the spread by their
means of contagion; but fumigation re-
moves this evil.
In regard to the aims of the new H.
brary, the lady who has direct charge
made this statement to representative
of the New York Sun: Pedagogy tells
us that the science of education is the
science of interesting If q child is ever
aroused and interested, he can and will
interest himself. That is the secret OF
the success Of the Child-Lore library:

..R|'OMULUS, PET WOLF.
a MISCHIEVOUS BUT VERY EN-
! GAGING ANIMAL FRIEND.
A Neighbor Dog Leads Him Astray-
He Meets Prize Gobbler and
the Doughty Bird Falls
in Battle.

Up to December 81, 1904, "Rcmu-
lus," my tame prairie wolf, stood upon
pinnacle of virtue. Not that he was
what you would call extremely SANITY"
for he had spells of mischievousuess
which were trying to those about him,
and during which he would nip the
bear, and pull tufts of hair out of the
deer, or run off into the woods with
his masters cap or gloves. It has
even been recorded that he once tore
the trousers of a certain gentleman
from the city, but in that case the cir
cumstances justified severe methods.
But the property of m; farmer neigh
bors he had never inter cred with.
But, alas for his cha. one OF
my neighbors had a dog, whose hide
was black, and whose reputation was
blacker. He had no regular occupa-
ton, and hung around our house
large part of his time, trying to scrape
acquaintance with the animals. Most
of them would have nothing to 90 with
him, but the coyote was a friendly lit
tie fellow, and after day or two be-
gan to rub noses with the dog. The
latter was much older than Romulus,
and his influence upon the young wolf
was very marked from the first. They
romped about for day or two, and
then one afternoon they were seen
walking away down the road together,
as nearly arm-in-arm as two four
foots can walk. That evening Romu-
lus did not appear at supper, and, for
the first time in his life, he was liter
ally ''out all night" Next morning he
came back, still in company with the
changed for the worse; he did not
want to be caught, and finally, when
We did catch him, he was very irri-
table, and tried his level best to bite.
We kept him in day or two, but on
New Years eve we reiented and once
more set him at liberty.
He was nightly pleased, and showed
at every opportunity throwing himself
on his back, that we might come up and
caress him. But in the afternoon he
sauntered off, met the black dog some
where down the road, and again failed
to answer tattoo roll call. Next morn
ing early, a farmer drove up to the
| door in a sleigh. Some one suggested
that he had come to wish us a happy
New Year, but this proved to be a mis-
take. He had come to inform me thai
my wolf had, in the cold gray dawn,
attacked his flock of turkeys, and had
killed the biggest gobbler in the bunch.
The family had attempted to drive him
off by setting the dogs on him, but the
J wolf wagged his tail and refused to run.
and the dogs simply turned round and
played with him. 1t would have been
easy enough to shoot him, but there was
no desire to be unneighborly. Hastily
strapping on a pair of snow-shoes, l
hurried off across lots to the scene OF
the tragedy. 1t was something over a
mile from my house, in a swamp, and
there l saw a sight which recalled de-

THEHOMES7EAD ACTS.
ALMOST FIFTY YEARS SINCE
THE FIRST WAS PASSED.
This Great Change in the Land sys-
tenn Made Only After Hard
and Persistent Battle by
It's Adherents.

Recently, before the American For
est Congress, bitter attacks were made
on various features of the homestead
laws, which makes the reader ask con-
corning the length of time these laws
have been in operation, something con-
corning their origin, and the results OF
their operation.
1t was back in 1852 that the granting
of national free homes from and on the
public domain became a national ques-
ton. The free soil democracy adopted
this plank in their platform: '"That the
public lands of the United States belong
to the people, and should not be sold to
individuals nor granted to corporations,
but should be held sacred trust for the
benefit of the people, and should be
granted in limited quantities, free OF
cost, to landless settlers"
It grew into burning question, and
war was waged anent it until its passage

scriptions of the battle of Liaoyang.
For more than an acre the snow was
strewn with feathers, and there was
scarcely a square yard in all that
space which was not splashed or
streaked with blood. Near the center
of this grewsome field lay the body of
an old gobbler, famous for miles
around, and said to be the largest tur-
key in Sullivan county, N. n. The
wolf had evidently made a full meal,
but all he had been able to eat had
made but little impression on the car
cass of this giant bird, which even in
death, torn and minus half it's feathers,
still looked majestic. The wolf, whom
l especially sought, was nowhere to be
seen, and though followed his trail for
upwards of two miles, did not get so
much as glimpse of his gray fur.
My next move was to visit the out
ragged farmer, and discover to what ex-
tent I was indebted to him. l found
him discussing the affair with his
wife, aud by the way they were both
smiling I judged they were more
amused than angry. When We finally
came to the question Of the damages
a question they seemed in no hurry to
thrust into the conversation-theya adj
mftted that turkeys of that weight and
appearance usually sold for five dollars
at this season, and even offered to
hitch up and deliver that particular
bird at my door; an offer gratefully
declined.
AS I approached my house. there
was a furry of snow, a streak Of gray,
and Romulus lay at my feet. whiEing
and wagging his tail, as stopped to
pat ais head. He's rather expensive.

From New York con ss the intelli-

frequenting his Office less and less, some
times an entire month separating his

All the enormous transactions which

to guess the reason for the action of Mr..

A CH|LD'S LIBRARY
NEW YORK SHOWS INTEREST
IN THE SMALL READER.
Modern Study Of Youth Provides
Wisely-Experts Help the Par
ent in Selection of Books
and Papers.

For some little time libraries here and
there have set apart a "Children's
ROOM place made attractive with
pictures, flowers, berries, wild grasses,
low shelves, low tables, and comfort
able small chairs. Now modern inter-
est in the child has brought forth a Ii
brary all for children.
It is called The Child-Lore library,
and is situated at 81 East Fifty-ninth
street, New York, in the center of
residence district wherein dwells folk
of goodly wealth. Why, it is asked,
should this somewhat-on-the-or
missionary enterprise be put in the
midst Of wealth and fashion, and the
answer is that the children of the rich
as well as those of the poor need guild
ing in the matter of literature. And
the Child-LOre library, not combining it.
self by any means to the people of it's
immediate neighborhood, sends forth to
public school and community-groups
collections of carefully chosen reading
matter, and thus escapes the criticism
Of aristocratic leanings.
Rich mothers and poor mothers both
are so engrossed with duties, often real,
often imaginary, that were it not for
outside assistance the little child in the
family of each distracted parent would
be sadly neglected. And both are very
fortunate that there is offered them the
expert help of the ones in charge of this
new enterprise for directing young
+ readers.
The lady at the head has had much ex-
perience in teaching children, and says
now she is very glad to be able to do
her teaching with lightness of touch:
unknown to the attendants at the Ii
brary study their tastes; unknown to
them gently lead them in better path.
Once week, on Saturday morning, there
is held what is called the children's
hour, when a flock of little ones and
those not yet too grown up to be ranked
as children, gather under the wing of
the director, and, in informal assembly,
"swap Stories" 1t is not a meeting
| where elders hold the floor, but where
even the wee-est is encouraged to enter
| tain the company. These mornings are
of value in many ways; here one can
get indication of honest preferences;
one can help timid ones to have faith
in their own tastes, and one can find oc-
casion for the word of advice the moth
ers are anxious to have bestowed.
1t is doubtful if many parents, no mat
ter how devoted to the right training OF
their children. have even passing ac-
quaintance with juvenile literature, and
when called upon to purchase a book of
this class, are all at sea as to selection.
To be sure, there is anystquantity to
choose from; but right there is the
trouble-so much quantity and so little
quality. There is great mass of jul
! venile reading offered, but lot of it is
only pictures and good printing. At
! least, this is the vesdict of the Child
| Lore library. And this library is in
| dorsed by no less personages than John
| Burroughs, hater of shams; Mary
Mapes Dodge, beloved editor of the St.
Nicholas, tried and true friend of chill
dren; Laura E. Richards, who writes

Fort Gibson, the oldest town in the
territory, is rich in historic lore, very
little of which has ever been recorded in
print. The town was settled shortly
after 1903, the date of the Louisiana
purchase, and about Is years later q
military post was established there
From that time to this many distin-
guished men have made the fort their
rendezvous, living in the old church,
md to-day one may see headstones in
the United States cemetery, less than a
mile from the church, bearing the names
of past war heroes who were killed or
lied there in the service Of the flag. In
the graveyard there are buried about
$500 bodies of soldiers, all Of whom fig

The wife Of Admiral Dewey, in the
early days, married to Gen. Hazen, left
her home in Cincinnati and for many
years lived at the fort, and was de-
clared to have been the most stylish wom-
an who ever visited the place. Zachary
Taylor, afterwards president of the
United States, and Jefferson Davis, aft
erwards president of the confederacy,
both lived at and commanded the fort
From this place Jeff Davis. then an I'M
tried lieutenant, eloped with Miss Betty
Taylor to Van Buren,. Ark, without the
consent of either of the principals

commanded the fort, living within it's
precincts until the time of the Mexican
war, in which conflict he won distinc-
ton by saving the day for the Amer
leans at the battle of Buena VISTA Gen.
Taylor after that exploit exhibited
great pride in Davis, and, it is declared,
almost forgave the act which bereft him
OF daughter and gave him son-in-

Gen. Samuel Houston, character who
is surrounded by veil of mystery. came
to the fort after resigning the governor

welded wife, coming west and joining a

after his arrival at Fort Gibson, he mar

OYSTERS ON PACIFIC COAST
Culture of the Succulent Shellfish in
Several Bays Carried On
Successfully.

1t is boast Of the people of the Pa
cific coast states that somewhere in
their specially favored section of Gods
green earth they can raise anything
that is produced anywhere else in the
world. There may be exceptions, says
the Pacific Monthly, but the oyster is
not one of them. If the average inhab-
liant of the east or middle west were
to be approached with the query, do
oysters grow in the Pacific ocean? she
answer would probably be no. Indeed,
very few of the Californians, Oregon
ians and Washingtonians themselves
realize to what an extent the oystsr-
raising industry is being carried on.
Among the leading points where the
oyster is being grown the bays about
San Francisco, Yaquina and Netarts in
Oregon, Shoalwater and Olympia in
Washington must he noted.
Probably the earliest clustering on
this coast was done at San Francisco
away before the days of the '49ers. In
1851 six men from San Francisco char
tered the schooner Robert Bruce and
SET sail for Shoalwater bay, WASH,
some 20 miles above the mouth of the
mighty Columbia. They were con-
vinced from Indian reports and other
wise that oysters were abundant there,
and this they found to be true.

Bridgeport, they began to lay plans 10

Among the men that came on the
Bruce, John S. Morgan has been most
successful. For years he lived in the
old village of Oysterville, across TIE
beautiful bay where he saw his first
venture go up in smoke San Franc4y-
co now numbers him among her many

THE <taoDERN TAxIDERMIsT
Must Be Possessed Of All the Wood
craft Of Trained, Hunter and
, - Experienced Naturalist. =

To understand the work of the modern
taxidermist, it is best to accompany him
on a:hunting trip in search of material;
for, like the sculptor and the painter,
the animal modeler, as this expert alse
calls himself, studies his subjects in
their wild and natural state. Aside from
being q sculptor and an artist with both
pencil and camera, he Is possessed of all
the wCodcraft of a trained hunter and
an experienced naturalist, says Grandon
Nevins, in Pearson's Magazine. He
must know when and where to find his
game; how to steal upon the willy quarry,
not merely within gunshot, but within
the range of his lens. He must be pre-
pared to tramp miles through wilderness
on the trail of a startled herd. Like the
big game hunter, hunger, thirst and ex-
haustion are his at the end of a. days
work, and not infrequently months pass
before he has succeeded in sketching or
in Swapping" his subjects in sufficiently
picturesque poses to guide him in his fu-
ture work.
The task Of taking these pictures, how
ever, is mere incident compared with
other field work in which, often, the ex-
pert spends as many months as it takes
him to complete the long, interesting
process OF mounting his group. Rarely
it happens that the peaceful hunter can
snap a herd on sufficiently striking
landscape, and to find this latter
requisite itself involves hunt. Once
found, the real work begins, for, as it
were, the entire scene must be dissected.
Each rock is photographed from sew
eral different view points, measurements
are taken and noted, and samples of the
local rocks are taken to enable accurate
imitation of the coloring and the grain.
In some cases, rocks are transported
bodily, as are also, size and weight per-
hitting, saplings and tree trunks. Notes
and measurements, and photographs of
leaves and grass and shrubs and berries,
are made Individually and collectively,
and many of the original specimens arc
gathered and shipped direct to head
quarters. Molds are made of leaves and
fruits and f1owers-as many as 30 molds
of the same kinds of leaf. in order to
each leaf, plaster of Paris is poured just
as it is about to harden, and then each
mold is carefully packed and prepared
for transportation out of the wilderness.
In the case of bird rock group, plaster
lnOlds were taken even of 1alf-eaten
fishes, while the original, delicate, half
broken egg shells were gathered, to-
gether with the legs and feet of num-
Der Of various sized birds, to be used in
forging impressions of bird tracks on
the white, yielding sand.
In the case of single moose group
shown in the American Museum of Nat
ural History, in New York, six months
were required for this preliminary field
work, and the hoofs of a. score of car
casses were removed, simply to insure
variety in the tracks on the trail of the
game. 2 s s1nonnted.
