NO SLAUGHTER OF CAME IN CoR-
 BIN PARK.

As one who lives within half a stone s throw of Corbin Park, the writer has been somewhat amused but more dis gusted at the sensational stories which have recently been published concern ing the alleged slaughter of deer, elk land buffalo on this great New Hamp- shire preserve. These widely circulated stories all agreed on the main point which was that the Corbins were killing off their game by wholesale, to avoid the expense of winter feeding.
 The accounts varied from pale green color to bright yellow, to harmonise with the particular papers in which they were published, but in one par ticular they were exactly alike-they were all utterly false. And what is more there was no excuse for these falsehoods, as the truth was accessi- ble to any one who cared to print It. And the truth, in nutshell, is this; there was less game killed in Corbln Park this winter than has been killed there during any previous winter for several years back The writer knows dll lllt DTOltSSlUudl anu pibC- tically every man who has fired a gun in the preserve this season; he knows exactly the number of deer elk and wild boar which have been shipped, and that fewer were shipped this winter than last, for instance.
 The aforementioned stories would have been trtfle more plausible had they been circulated last year or the year before This is the mildest win ter New Hampshire has known for a long time, There was practically no snow in Corbin Park until the 9th of February and consequently the animals with the exception of the buffaloes, have required much less feeding tlan has been necessary in previous years. But even had the winter been severe one, the extensive operations in scien- tific numbering now going on in the pre- serve, insures the elk and deer an enor- nous amount of browse at no expense to the owners.
 Of course there has been large amount of game shipped from the park this winter as usual. Any one who gives any thought to the subject must

account. The discontent among officers is largely attributable to the fact that all advancement depends upon the fa- yor of the conspirators, whose unpopu- larity naturally increases with the number of disappointed candidates for promotion. The fact that some of the journals now dare to attack the con spirators by name and to publish thrill ing narratives of their crime is regard ed as in itself significant. The popular desire for renewal of diplomatic rela- tions with England encourages these onslaughts, and a society has been formed flor the settlement of the ques- ton of the conspirators by legal means" The phrase legal means" has a peculiar significance, for the. vendetta survives in Servia, and the friends and relatives of those who perished with King Alexander and Queen Draga are awaiting their opportunity. The mur- derers themselves are said to be well aware of their peril and to exhibit many signs of unmistakable nervous ness.
 If these murderers should also be murdered some day it wouldn't be any thing strange, and there wouldn't be any general mourning.

JACK LONDoN,s cALL.

Some particular people might we suppose, have a prejudice against a man who can call himself Jack London, but perhaps that prejudice wouldn't be warranted. Anyhow, Mir. London says something in the Cosmopolitan which seems to be honest and earnest in a way that is uncommon nowadays. This is part of it: I discovered that 1 did not like to live on the parlor floor of society. Intellectually I was bored. Morally and spiritually I was sicken- ed. remembered my intellectuals and idealiste, my unfrocked preachers, broken professors, and clean minded, class conscious worklngmen. remen- bered my days and nights of sunshine and starshine, where life was all a wild, sweet wonder a spiritual paradise of unselish adventure and ethical TO- nance. So I went back to the working class, in which I had been born and where I belonged, I care no longer to climb. The imposing edifice above my head holds no delight for me- It is the foundation of the ediflce that inter- ests me. There I am content to labor, crowbar in hand, shoulder to shoulder with intellectuals, idealists, and class conscious workingmen getting a solid pry now and again and setting the whole edifice rocking. Some day, when we get few more hands and crowbars to work, VFe Il topple it over, along with all it's rotten life and unburied dead, it's monstrous selfshness and sodden materialism. Then we'll cleanse the cellar and build new habitation for mankind, in which there will be no par lor floor, in which all the rooms will be bright and airy, and where the air that is breathed will be clean, noble and alive.
 There is hope for the world as long as men can feel like that, and there are many who do feel so, though few of them can say it as well as MT. Lon- don does,

realize that a given area contains just so much grass and so many trees and shrubs and no more, and that, con- sequently, 1t will support just So many deer or other animals which rely on the grass and trees and shrubs for food. If q greater number were allowed to re- main upon that area, the food would be eaten faster than it is produced, and the final result of such folly would be starvation for all the animals. This is as true of twenty-four thousand acres as one so every year the surplus ani- mals in Corbin Park are removed, to make room for those to be born the following spring.
 This thinning out" is not done hap hazard. The superintendent. MT. Blaine s. Viles, is himself a profess sional forester, and well-informed as to the amount of available browse in the preserve each year. He supplements his own knowledge with expert advice as to the number of animals the park will support under existing conditions, and then he goes ahead. First of all he make arrangement to fill the numerous orders which have been received for live animals required for the stocking of other parks and game preserves. Many deer, elk and wild boar are driven or coaxed from the main park into small CT inclosures, where they are kept until they are needed; then they are put into crates and shipped to different parts of the country.
 But besides these are always large orders from the market in Boston, New York and elsewhere, and such orders are filled by professional hunters, who shoot and bring in the game as it is | needed. These men are expert marks men, kill almost everything they fire at, usually with little or no pain to the animals themselves, I sometimes ac- company these men on their hunting trips, and I can testify to their skill

NOT SURPRISING.

It is not surprising to read that the murderers of King Alexander and Queen Draga are in danger. A corre- sponent of a London journal writing from Belgrade, maintains that their po- sition is daily becoming more perilous. The reaction in the army, he says, of which the eounter-conspiracy at Nish in June. 1904, was the first symptom, is growing rapidly, and scores of letters have been received by public men from officers who declare that, should the political leaders hesitate to remove the culprits, the army will act on it's own

AN UNExPEcTEp PRorEsr

Some play-actors are given to the use of local gags" to please their au- dience and increase their own reputa- tion and money. These gags some- times do please audiences, and even the subjects of them have been known to pretend to be pleased by themb although inwardly feeling embarrassed or insult ed. But occasionally such a "gagger" finds that his or her jokes are not ap- preeiated, Such was the experience of Miss Pearl E. Elvyn night before last in an Indiana town, She took a notion she would be just as funny as she could be and so made several pointed ''local'' remarks. Some of the audience applaud ed but man in the rear of the house rose with an oath, drew a revolver, and aiming it at the actress, fired The bullet struck Miss Elvyn in the leg and she fell to the floor.
 Fortunately Miss Elvyn wasn't seri- ously hurt, but it will probably be some tims before she ventures to be very "local' again. Such "gagging'' must be done with much skill and dis crimination in order to be wholly pleas ing, and all actors don't have the need ed skill and discrimination. The prac- tice isn't as prevalent as it used to be, and perhaps it shouldn't be as prev alent as it is, It isn't very high art

on big game than almost any other men in America. One of them has a record of about two hundred deer in a season, besides the elk and boar which fell to his gun. went out with this man one day, and saw him shoot seven deer between daybreak and dark. Of these only one had any suffering to speak of; the others all died within iTalf minute of the time they were hit, and three of them were dead literally "at the crack of the gun" make this statement here because I have had no time to reply directly to a little maga- zine which recently made rude remarks concerning ttsis thinning out process, in the name of humanity, and which in cidentally criticized me for being in favor of shooting made necessary by the rapid increase of animals on a game preserve.
 It is hardly necessary, I think, to argue in favor of the desirability of game protection in this country, or to state that it is desirable that we have fenced game reservations. Generally speaking, the more successful the game preserve, the faster the animals in crease and the more they have to be thinned out. Corbin Park is the largest game preserve in America, and the shooting of the surplus stock which is not shipped alive is one of the practi- ees which tend to make it successful. That it does cost money and lot of it to feed great numbers of boar and buffalo in winter, cannot be denied, but there IS no connection between this ex- pense and the killing of the animals. The biggest expense by long odds, is entailed by the maintenance of the great buffalo herd, yet not a single

Baltimore, which received in the Johns Hopkins university and the Johns Hopkins hospital and in other forms $1O,OOOOOO from it's famous phi lanthropist, is to erect a memorial in his honor. The institutions named are his greatest memorial, but the city feels that it must itself do something to show it's appreciation of one whose cit izenship and services so greatly bene- fted it. The form the memorial will take has not yet been decided, and probably will not be until the entire sum needed for the purpose is raised, One suggestion is that a fountain shuuld be erected in the heart of the business section of the city, crowned by a statue off the philanthropist, and with the figures of Charity and Educa- tion on either side.

The German empress recently had a somewhat disconcerting experience. While staying at one of the imperial hunting castles in Alsace she paid a visit to a village school few miles from Strasburg. Before leaving she gave the pupils the customary permis- sion to ask any request they pleased, with the promise that she would grant it, if in her power to do so. Fully ex- pecting the favor would take the form of whole holiday or supply of cakes, she was not little embarrassed when one of the elder girls stood up and in a somewhat trembling voice asked that the French language might be taught in that school.

Judge Harvey B. Hurd, who has just died at his home in Evanston, Illinois, was known as the father of the Chicago drainage canal. When the canal pro- ject was first considered there were constitutional provisions that stood in the way of raising the great amount of money required for carrying 1t out, and Judge Hurd conceived the plan of leg islation by which those obstacles were overcome. Before the Civil war he was the counsellor of fugitive slaves and an active promoter of the under ground railroad. As secretary of the national Kansas committee he did much to secure the admission of Kansas to the Union as free State, He did im- portant work as reviser of the Illinois statutes and in general practice at the bar.

The late Horace Gray for many years chief justice of the Supreme court of Massachusetts, afterwards an associate justice of the Supreme court of the United States, had pronounced dislike for typewriter documents. His habits had become fixed many years before the typewriter came into general use, and long after machine made documents be- came the rule he let it be understood he preferred that such court papers as were not printed should be submitted in handwriting. The New Bedford Standard is authority for the statement that though he had a stenographer at his disposal, he never used his services, writing with his own hand his letters and opinions, and that he told the clerk of the court never to send him any typewriter paper

"THE SONG OF THE SHIRT"


II Proved the Most Popular Thing
Hood Ever wrote.
During his last illness Tom Hood in
an idle moment made an imaginative
sketch of his own tombstone. He drew
himself reclining at full length on
thick slab OF stone ON the edge of
which In large capitals he wrote, He
Sang the Song of the Shirt This
was the only inscription, and, as he
himself has said Tom Hood needs no
other
How much lac felt and prided him
self upon the song by which lie became
known and loved 10y millions Is shown
by this and the following fact: IF
We're ennobled these are the arms

Ing rough yignette 10 friend. The
sketch contained very beautiful and
pathetic Idea. II represented heart
pierced by II needle threaded with sill
yer tears, and beneath was the motto
he had Inscribed on the Imaginary
tombstone.
The Song of the Shirt" appeared In
the Christmas number OF The nth vol
ulne OF Punch. 1t was unsigned but
every paper IN the land quoted it, and
1t speedily became the talk OF the day
Hood himself did not think it very re
marhable, but Mrs. Hood had said to
him as she folded 1t for press: Now.

things You ever did
Mrs Hood was right. The SONG was

Italian. 1t was printed on cheap cot
