from 30 to 50 are no uncommon sight, any many of them have become 50 tame that they race the railroad tracks for miles.
 The law against the killing of ante lope contains clause allowing their being hunted from October 15 to october 25 in 1907, for the first time in several years During the past few years the antelope have been increasing rapidly. They ire quent the neighborhood of the smaller towns and many families in Fort AIor- gan have captured young antelope and raised them as pets. They have also increased in the South, Middle and North parks, although they frequent the prairies more than the mountains
 It is said that the cactus covered plains in the counties in the eastern part of Colorado furnish the best adapted place in the country for the rearing of the young of the antelope. The young are usually born in hol- low scooped out of the sand by the mother in the midst of a thicket of cactus. In this way the baby antelope
  are safe from the depredations of prairie wolves and coyotes, who are not able to penetrate the cactus thick ct, while the mother can jump over the hedge without injuring herself. The coyotes are only feared by the young antelope, the older animals being able to protect themselves.
 An agitation is now spreading among l5portsmen to have the short open sea- son for antelope provided for next year permanent for a week each year, They claim the animals have increased so in the past few years that no injurp will be done in a short open season. The season for quail, however, which will also open in 1907, will probably be abolished by the coming Legislature. Denver Republican.

BRAGG AND THE BISHOP.
The Confederate Commander Was

The Confederate Commander Was
 Confirmed on Eve of Battle.
 Thousands of Southerners remember the Rev. Dr. Charles Todd Quintard, Episcopal Bishop of Tennessee, and General BraXton Bragg, commanding the Confederate forces in Kentucky and Tennessee. While the Bishop was an open book, whose pages all might read, only one man was ever known to penetrate the shield of dignified auster- ity which the general raised between himself and the world, and that man was the Bishop himself
 It was just before the battle on that bloody field known both as Murfrees- boro and Stones River, and the Con federate army in and about Murfrees- boro, Tenn, was gradually thawing out of winter quarters The Bishop was exerting hiself to the utmost for the spiritual welfare of the army, and his united Bible and confirmation class was growing into the hundreds. Men from every regiment were preparing them selves for confirmation and the com

 Few buildings link the London of the present day with so many of the litera- " characters of the London of the past as does the house at No. ? Brick Court, Middle Temple. The dominant memory which clings around it is that perpetuated by handsome tablet which has now been placed on it's front elevation bearing the words: "In these chambers died Oliver Goldsmith on the 4th of April, 1774, and a medal lion of the poet.
 Goldsmith's, however, was seldom a lonely figure, and he gathered around him at Brick Court all the wit of the metropolis of his day In 1765, on the strength of the success of "The Good Natured Man" and the fact that he was making some five hundred pounds year, "Goldie" expended four hun dred pounds on chambers up two-pair right and fitted them with showy car pets, gilt mirrors and furniture extrav- agantly upholstered in blue velvet. Thus equipped, he embarked on a course of expenditure in which fine clothes for himself, grand dinners to a literary coterie and pretty trihes for venal beautes all bore costly parts. Johnson, Dr. Arne, Percy Reynolds, Francis and Bickerstaff were among the frequent visitors at No. ? Brick Court, but their arrival was not the

SOME OBJECTION TO GRADE
Otherwise Plans Are Endorsed Re-
gardless of the
Cost.

Shall Seventh avenue be cut to a depth
of 371a feet lower than it is now at
the highest point i'll the vicinity OF
Thirty-fourth street. shall the avenue
be improved at the grade originally
proposed, or shall a compromise grade
be established? These are questions
with which the board of local improve
ments will have to wrestle Tney were
discussed to some extent at the public
meeting held at the city hall last even
ing. 10
Syndicate Objects.
The only thing standing in the way
OF the proposed Improvement of Sew
enth avenue upon the desired grade is
the syndicate which purchased the
Harper Robinson tract. which includes
lots On each side of Seventh avenue
between Thirty-tirst and Thirty-fifth
streets M h. Sweeney and DR.. Pat
ton represented these interests at the
meeting. In speaking on the subject
Mr. Sweeney said that they were dis
posed to favor any reasonable improve
ment and were among the first to sign
for asphalt paving, but the objection
is to the deep cut that would leave
their highest lots about 30 feet above
the street. 1t was suggested that the
grade be the same from Thirtieth street
east as it is from Thirtieth street west.
Unite in Favor.
Among those present We're Hon. Will
liam Jackson, president of the park
commission: Otto Huber. member OF
the same organization; w. c. Maucker.
with resolutions from a Rock Island
club committee; Charles McHugh, c. J.
Larkin. E. H. Guyer, and w y. Rosen-
field. They were not there as proper
ty owners, but as the city has the bur
den OF the proposed extra grade to
carry are interested financially to that
extent. and each one endorsed the
proposition OF drive through TO Mo
line on Seventh avenue. 1t WAC sug-
gested by some OF these gentlemen and
endorsed by others that an agreement
be reached with the syndicate by
which the city should bear some of the
loss that would accrue to it in the cut
ting OF the avenue 1t was suggested
by Alderman Anderson that while the
city was engaged in doing the grading
OF the street it might cut down two lots
for the syndicate TO whatever degree
might be agreed upon.
Damage to Property Secondary.
1t was the opinion OF these men that
the damage to the bluffs as to affect
ing their sale was secondary to the
matter OF getting drive through to
Moline ON Seventh avenue. Mr.. Guyer
referred to his experiences with sim
| liar property in Moline. only it was
not quite so high, his being 80 feet
which was plated and sold at good
round price. being in demand for the
| best class OF residences. He failed to
| forsee any great damage to the inter
ests of the syndicate in the proposed
| improvement.

Hon. William Jackson.

Hon. William Jackson, as president
of the park commission, was called
upon to speak especially with refer
ence to the making of the boulevard
on the avenue, as this, If done, will be
under the supervision OF the commits
sion. In beginning, however he spoke
OF the proposition OF a drive as a whole.
saying that it is q question OF now or
never. He told of how hard ii was To
get brick paving started In the city,
the council trying TO substitute cobbIe-
stones or wood He said that in this
country there has been a tendency to
do everything in hurry, this being
because the country was in a primitive
state and something had to be done
without delay. The result was thai
things were not always done as they
should be. In his opinion the work of
improving Seventh avenue should be
taken up, the street made as wide as
possible, the boulevard placed in the
middle and the car tracks constructed
on the outer edges no matter what
the cost may be- He considered the
dangers on Fifth avenue in driving very
serious and considered this the one
opportunity of the people OF Rock Is
