MORE GAME WARDENs.
Special Wardens Will Be Appointed to
Protect Birds,

Denver.-In an open letter State
Game and Fish Commissioner j.. NJ.
Woodard announces that farmers and
others interested in the preservation
Of birds that live on insects may apply
to him for commissions as special war
dens to serve without salary.
The special wardens, however, have
under the law, the same powers as the
deputy game wardens. An induce
mont for them to keep n sharp lookout
for violators of the law lies in the
statute which provides that they shall
receive one-third of the fines collected
from offenders, and in addition to this
they will be allowed mileage to and
from the place whence the prisoners are
conveyed, and regular wardens fees.
1t is anticipated in the office of the
game and fish commissioner that there
Will be numerous applications for COM
missions. The special wardens will re-
ceiye instructions to arrest any and ali
persons who are found shooting such
birds as quail, blackbirds, pheasant,
lark or robin. The fine for killing these
birds is heavy.
During the last month over 200
hunting licenses have been issued in
the Office of the chief commissioner at
the state capitol and many hundreds
more at the offices of the county clerks
throughout the state.
The open season for doves began
July 1st and ends August 18th. A
thirty-day open season for sage hens
also began on the list.
There are five chief deputy game
and fish commissioners in the state
and ten deputies, all under salary. Mr..
Woodard says that this force cannot
cover the entire state, and so he will
call for special wardens to protect the
Dlrds and animals of the type that is
being killed out OF season.
w. f. kendriclI, owner of large
ranches, who has raised hundreds of
pheasants at his yards at 103 South
Corona street, called at the office of
the state game and fish commissioner
recently and made complaint that
many persons have been in the habit
of shooting pheasants and other pro-
Ittltu DlGuS from the various roads In
the state. AS a fancier of pheasants
Mr.. KendriclS has placed numbers of
the birds at his own expense upon va
rious farms, and ranches in Colorado
but in many instances they have been
killed off by pot hunters. Mr.. Ken
drick raises the imported golden
pheasant, the ring necks, the silver
and the Reeves. He also raises the
quail and the partridge, and this year
will spend more than $1,000 for new
pheasants.
He says that if the pheasants are
left alone by the hunters it will not be
long before they will have increased
so that it will be possible for the Leg
islature to declare an open season on
them. Within radius of twenty-five
miles of Denver, he says, there may be
found at least 1000 ring-neck pleas
ants, the progeny of birds placed out
by himself and the late Senator e. o.
Wolcott
In the state of Oregon is an open
season of ten days per year on pleas
ants. The pheasants will clear field
of mice and will consume all the
larvae from wheat and barley. 1t is
probably the most valuable of insect
birds, says Mr.. Kendrick.

he made up his mind he couldn't stand
Ostracism any longer, and he went to

Herbert spencer,s Painted Carpet


Herbert Spencer once had a carpet
which began to fade when it had only
been down few months. 1t consisted,
or, rather, had consisted, of clusters of
blue flowers ON a drabbish ground.
Now, with the principal color gone, 1t
had become far too dull for the taste
of that lover of brightness. He there
fore conceived the unique idea of hav-
ing each flower stamped over with red
Ink. For this purpose he invented a
small tin tray, which was made so that
1t stood quite fiat on the floor to pre-
vent any possibility of the ink being
spilled or dropped about. Bent In 1t
were little wells about as large round
and twice as thick as a halfpenny.
These depressions were filled with the
liquid. The sempstress-whOm he was
always glad of an excuse to employ
because she was so Woodworking and
so poor-was soon set to carry out his
plan. Down on her knees she had to
go, and as she was decidedly stout 1t
was no light task. With a cork cut the
exact size and dipped In ink she press
ed firmly down on each flower, thus
leaving it as If covered with red cher
ries. No wonder 1t took her over
week, working all day, for the carpet
was from twenty-five to thirty feet
long and proportionately wide.-Har-

A most curious utensil of a Bahaman
dwelling is a big cement oven, like a
cone. at the back of the house. In this
the family bread Is baked. Bahamans
are physiolOgically starved, and their
thin, attenuated forms show 1t. An
unvarying diet of fish and fruit is not
nourishing enough, and the fact speaks
for itself In these islanders. The white

A MIRACLE OF NATURE.
The Wonderful Growth of the Amt
1ers of the Wapiti.

The Wonderful Growth of the Ante
1ers of the Wapiti.
Wapiti antler growth is one Of the
miracles Of nature that we never cease
to consider a miracle. About the end of
winter-that is in mid March-the ant
lers Of the year before break off flush
with their base an inch or more above
the skull. Usually they are found close
together, showing that they fell nearly
at the same time.
At first the place Of each antler is a
broad raw spot. In few days it
shows a thick rounded pad or blood
gorged skin. This swells rapidly, and
In a fortnight the great Dubious fuzzy
horn beginning has shot up to a height
Of several inches. At exactly the right
time, place and in just the right direc-
ton bump comes forth to be the foun-
dalton Of the brow tine. In a few more
days the bez tine is projected by the
Invisible architect. In a month the
structure is nearly a foot high and all
envelOped in turgid mass Of feverish,
throbbing blood vessels-the scaffolding
and wOrkmen Of this surprising struc-
ture. Night and day the work Is push
ed with astounding speed, and in four
months this skyscraper is finished, a
wonderful structure indeed, for a score
Of natures forces have toiled, a myriad
Of invisible wOrkmen have done their
part, and an edifice that, according to
ordinary rules, should have taken a
lifetime is here rushed through in q
summer and all in absolute silence.
August sees the building done, but it
is still cluttered with scaffolding. The
supplies of blood at the base are re-
duced and finally discontinued. The
antler is no longer in vital touch with
the animal. 1t begins to die. The SEN
sitiveness leaves each part, the velvet
covering soon dies, cracks and peels,
and the stag assists the process Of
clearing off the skin by scraping his
horns on the brushwood. September
sees him fully armed in his spears Of
dead bone, strong in body, glorying in
his weapons and his strength and ready
to battle with all corners. - Ernest
Thompson Seton in Scribner's.

There may be an advantage in birds
living In colonies. but cannot see how
any other birds would want to live
near a colony of gulls. A gull In his
own country will steal like politician
and murder like pirate. They swarm
about us like vultures after a battle.
The minute our approach drove q
murre or cormorant from it's nest the
sanity looking scalawags swooped
down to eat the eggs and young.
While the gulls are freebooters and
robbers on the island, 1t Is only when
other birds are frightened from their
nests that they have a chance to carry
on their nefarious trade. Eternal Wig
ilance Is the psice the latter pay for
their eggs and young. Except when
they are frightened by the approach
Of some person, their possessions are
never left for an instant without q
guard. But the f1ttest manage to sur
vive on the rocks, and these gulls are
the most useful birds In the bays and
rivers about the waterfronts Of our
cities. They are valuable as scaven-
gers and should be protected In every
way. Three Of them are equal to q
buzzard. Ten of these gulls are equal

EDO look at that girl just sitting
down at the table by the door" ex-
claimed Molly suddenly. Did you
ever see such a hat? There must be
a special kind of bird to grow such
stupendous plumes."
Gordon turned. "She completely
overshadows her companion" he said,
with forced interest.
The newcomer settled herself in her
chair and moved the amazing hat to
one side.
by Jove!' exclaimed Gordon, with
a low whistle.
He glanced quickly at Molly. Two
red spots like danger signals burned
on either cheek; her wrathful eyes were
fastened on the girls companion. He
looked up, their eyes met, and Molly
stared at him with no hint Of recogni-
ton. He half rose to his feet; then a
hot wave of color suffused his face as
he turned sullenly to his companion.
Amazement, indignation, relief, chas-
ed themselves in quick succession over
Molly's face. She met Gordon's eyes,
and her own fell before their message.
The strains of the violins died softly
away; the crowd thrilled with enthusi-
asm. Encore, encorew they cried.
and again the gay little French song
echoed through the rooms. "With all
my heart" swung the refrain.
Gordon leaned over the table. "Say
it," he whispered.
The delicate color dyed her cheeks
crimson; he bent nearer.

1t is not healthy in any country, at

Shoes and other articles besides bas-

Of the Russian birch tree, common in
almost all parts Of the empire. It Is
gathered spring and fall, and the proc

tree, and the peasants have knack Of
tearing or unwlnding the bark from

HONEY AS A FOOD,
1t Is NOurishing and Saves Work FO
the Digestive Organs.

1t Is NOurishing and Saves Work For
the Digestive Organs.
Honey, which is described as zone of
natures best foods" Is the subject Of
a report by the Ontario department Of
agriculture. In this it is pointed out
that it is only within the past few CEN
turtles that sugar has become known
and only within the last generation
that refined sugars have become so low
in price that they may be commonly
used in the poorest families. Former
~ honey was the principal sweet, and
it was highly valued 5000 years before
the first sugar refinery was built. "It
would add greatly to the health of the
present generation" it is declared, eff
honey could be at least partially re-
stored to it's former place as a common
article Of diet"
Excessive use Of sugar brings in its
train a long list Of ills. When sugar
Is taken into the stomach it cannot be
assimilated until first changed by d.
gestion into grape sugar. Only too
often the overtaxed stomach fails prop
erly to perform this digestion, and then
come sour stomach and various phases
Of indigestion and dyspepsia. In the
laboratory Of the hive the honey has
been fully prepared by the bees for
prompt assimilation without taxing Ell
Their stomach or the kidneys, so that
In eating honey the digestive machin-
cry is saved work and health is main
tanned.
Moreover, the same report says that
Gin many cases it will be real econo-
my to lessen the butter bill by letting
honey in part take its place. One pound
Of honey will go as far as pound Of
butter, and if both articles be Of the
same quality the honey will cost the
less. Honey is strongly recommended
for children, while for persons Of all
ages a pleasant and wholesome drink
is called German honey tea This Is
made by pouring a teacupful Of hot
water on from one to two teaspoonfuls
of honey"

THE ELYSEE PALACE.

Checkered Career OF the White
House of France.
The Elysee palace, situated In the
Rue Faubourg Saint-Honore, Is cross
between a country house and a hotel.
1t has had a checkered career since its
erection in 171S and has harbored some
queer characters. Louis V. presented
1t to Nine. de PompadOur. Who knows
how many lettres de cachet went out
of the gates to imprisOn those who
lampooned her? Under Louis XVI. 1t
was called the Elysee Bourbon. Dur
ing the revolution 1t became national
property, was put up for sale, found no
purchaser and was turned into a gov
eminent printing Office. During the
directoire there were gay doings in the
fine old rooms, and the merveilleuses
and incroyables danced and gambled
from sunset to sunrise. The rooms
were let to a syndicate who made a
large fortune out of the speculation.
Since then the palace has been Occu-
pied by Murat, Napoleon l., Louis
Bonaparte and Queen Hortense, Alex
ander l. Of Russia and the Due de
Berri. After the revolution Of 1880 it
remained unoccupied until Louis Ma
poleon made it his residence while he
was president of the republic. Nearly
all the subsequent presidents of the
present republic have added to it. The
large glass awning seen from the Eau
bourg, called by the scoffers ''the mon
key palace" was the work of Carnot.
His also Is the large ballroom. The
left wing was built by Louis Napoleon,
and Grevy added a room overlooking
the garden. None of the presidents
seem to fancy its state bedroom, nor
do they write at the Louis XVI. table,
ornamented with brass work chiseled
by Gouttiere. They have one and all
preferred to furnish small rooms away
from the solemn state apartments and
use an ordinary desk such as we find
in any offlce.-Boston Transcript.

A FAMOUS SONG WRITER.

Poe of Music.

Foster was Called the Edgar Allan
Poe of Music.
Stephen Collins Foster, the most pop
ular of American song writers and
composers, has been called the Edgar
Allan Poe Of music. Like Poe, he was
a genius. He came Of Virginia parent
age, received a good education and died
In New York Jan. Is, 1854, in the
height of his fame, a penniless wander
err. He was born in Pittsburg July A,
1926.
He learned easily, and after receiv-
ing private lessons in music and draw
ing taught himself to play on the
fiageolet, guitar and banjo. He also de-
voted several years to the voice and
piano. Then he turned his attention to
composing songs and dialect ballads
and dialect songs. At the age of seven
teen, while employed in Louisville, KY,
he published the serenade "Open Thy
Lattice, Love-" which was instantly
successful. Then followed "Uncle Ned"
30 Susannah," which were sung by a
minstrel troupe, and Stephen Foster be.
came famous far and wide"
Marrying, in 1874, Jennie Mcdowell,
he came to New York, where in rapid
succession he supplied his publishers
with songs which became famous
"Old Kentucky Home" "Massa's In De
Cold, Cold Ground" "Old Dog Tray"
willie, We Have Missed You" and
"Sweet Ellen Bayne." But the song
that is best known in many lands is
1.-The Suwanee River" for which Chris
ties minstrels gave him at the begin
ming $50. In addition he received roy
alties on its sale of over half a million
copies and the honor of knowing that
eminent singers like Jenny Lind. sang
it to applauding thousands.
His last song, negro melody, "Old
Black joe" is still favorite A fourth
of his $50 songs were In negro dialect,
among which were Nellie Bly," "NelI

Superior Court.

The case of Thomas R. Young
against George H. Reynolds was on
trial last Tuesday. Judge Roraback
gave his decision on Friday, award
ing Young Judgment for So. go, with
out costs. The suit was brought for
$50 damages as a result of a collision
of teams in Mansfield in March of this
year. Mr.. Young's son was riding in
one team and Mrs. Reynolds hired
man, Edmunds, in the other. Mr..
Young alleged that the accident was
due to the carelessness of Edmunds,
and threatened suit. Mr.. Reynolds
said he offered to put the wagon in
good repair, but that would not satisfy
Young. The case was tried in Justice
Hawkins court, Coventry, who
awarded the plaintiff Judgment of $40
and costs. The defendant appealed
and the csae was tried in the superior
court Tuesday. A number of wit
nesses were examined and the case
took all day. The wagon was brought
to court by Mr.. Reynolds for an ex-
hibit, and as it stood in front of the
Memorial building Judge Roraback
and the court officials viewed it. The
vehicle had apparently seen its best
days. One of the witnesses secured by
Reynolds was the man who repairep
the wagon after the accident. He
testified to putting the wagon in
shape, charging therefor So. so. This
was the amount of the Judgment. The
plaintiff will have to pay his own
costs. which with the lawyers fees,
will amount to considerable more than
the wagon was worth.
The case of Charles E. White versus
James MCGUIRE, which began in the
superior court Wednesday, was con-
tinued Thursday. The case has been
ON the docket since 1904. In 1908
Mr.. White alleges that he authorized
James None of Baltic to purchase a
lot, on which to cut chestnut trees
for telegraph poles. The trees were
cut and hauled to Baltic, where they
were attached by Constable James Nc
Guire. Mcclure attached the poles
on behalf of George W. Logan, for an
alleged claim against None. Mr..
White then sued the constable for
possession of the poles, alleging that
they were his and that None in buy
ing the lot acted as his agent. The
lot was purchased from Mr.. Bitgood,
and White says he made the check
payable to Bitgood. White says that
the poles were valued at $500.

Judge G.. W. Wheeler has rendered
his decision in regard to the appliCa-
tion for the $500 reward for the ar
rest of Frank Sherrie, the Somersville
murderer, which was offered by
Sheriff A. Palmer Dickinson of Rock
vile. There were three applicants,
Deputy Sheriff George Wilson of
Thompsonville, Chief Edward Brom-
age of the Thompsonville police, and
Sam Boyken of Hartford. Judge
Wheeler states that the work of
Sheriff Wilson was of considerable
value, but he was in the employ of
State Attorney Charles Phelps of
Rockville, and the law prohibits his
receiving q part of the reward. The
state police, he finds, did effective
work, but they have made no applica-
tion for the reward AS the law forbade
them receiving a reward. He finds
that Sam Boyken is entitled to $75
of the reward, and Edward Bromage
to 500. The balance of the $500 is
not awarded.
