necessaries Of life, although fully able
to do so; has earned good wages all

is physically able to provide the plain

That defendant has often cursed the
plaintiff and called her vile names and
accused her falsely; that such con-
duct and such accusations We're of al
most daily occurrence. That the de-
fendant is of a very jealous dispo-
sition, and objects to the plaintiff at
tending church, and refuses to allow
her to receive lady friends, as callers
and visitors. The plaintiff was not per-
mitted to go down town to do shopping
and other work necessary to be done
which would take her upon the streets

PROTECTION FOR GAME.
Department Shows the
Need of Action to Prevent Ex-
tinction of Animals.

Washington The thorough restock-
ing of game covers is urged In a re-
port ISSUED by the department of agri-
culture in report on game condi-
tons in January"
Now that the hunting season Is
practically over" the report says, the
biological survey suggests that efforts
be directed toward insuring more eff
fective protection of game and an ade-
quate supply for the future. Owing to
the nonmigratory character of quail
and the consequent depletion OF vari-
Gus localities where hunting has been
excessive or the birds have been killed
off by the severity of the past two
winters, restocking is frequently nee
essary, but the demand for live birds
for this purpose far exceeds the avail
able supply.
"The difficulty is augmented by the
fact that southern birds are scarcely
hardy enough to stand northern win
ters, and hence Ii is difficult for north-
ern states to secure birds suited to the
climate.
''Perceiving that absence OF food and
shelter is the principal cause of NOR
tality, state officials, game associations
and many private individuals have
united in attempting to make good
these deficiencies. Grain and other
food have been distributed freely and
Systematically after heavy snowfalls.
when the usual food is covered, and
suitable shelter has been provided.
Much activity prevailed last year in
Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts,, Mary
land, New Jersey, North Carolina and
West Virginia. Such measures are
needed to preserve the quail from pos
sible ultimate extinction"

SEEKS NORTH POLE
CAPT. BERNIER WOULD DRIFT
TO COVETED GOAL.
Journey Of wreckage of Jeannette
Gives Navigator idea Which He
VIII Demonstrate in His Pro-
posed Voyage

From information, the gathering OF
which he began in 1864, Capt. ]. E.
Bernier, a French-Canadian naviga-
tor, of half-century's experience as a
sailor, is forming plans for an actic
expedition In the interest of the
Canadian government, in which he
feels assured of discovering the north
lOle and laying bare secrets which
have baffied the worlds most noted
scientists and explorers since time be-
gan.
This French Canadian skipper of SIS
ships-whose work as a pilot on the
coast of Labrador, as sealing master
of Newfoundland and navigator In
arctic waters, has afforded him a wide
nautical experience--began years ago
to interest himself in polar discov-
cries. The result of his study and OBJ
servations may be summed up in the
bold generalization that, hitherto, In
attempting to reach the pole man has
failed because he has gone against
Nature instead OF following her and
seeking from her the solution of the
problem he was attacking. Capt. Ber-
nier's guiding principle is that Ma
tura always tells the truth, and she
alone is the safe guide. Following
out this principle he has come TO the
conclusion that the only way for a
ship to reach the pole is to allow the
natural currents to carry her across
the Arctic basin. In support of this
theory, Capt. Bernier advances the
case of the unfortunate Jeanette.
This vessel was not specially built for
ice navigation, but was originally, I'M
der the name of Pandora, pleasure
yacht, left San Francisco in July,
1879, under command of Capt De
Long, an American of French de-
scent. She was fitted QUIZ with a
view to exploring Wrangle Land and
Behring sea- Passing through
Behring strait this vessel was pushed
within close quarters. of the land and
became fast in the ice on September
G. She drifted with the ice pack for
nearly % months when her crew were
forced to abandon heron 18th Of June,
1881. For three years no trace of the
Jeanette was found; then wreckage
from her was discovered at Julian's
Had on the west coast of Greenland.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of Capt Bernier's plan is that which
deals with his probable movements
after the salt water current has taken
lis ship into the ice. 1--WE are then
