The HuRuRnnfs-

From the Chicago Record Herald
A teacher in one of the Chicago schools
recently requested her pupils to write es-
says on the Huguenots- only two papers
were returned. and we have pleasure in
presenting them here
The Hugonots are people in Francs
that are followers of Victor Hugo Their
leader is a man named Jean Valjean that
was thief but got converted and turned
out well. The Hugonots are very good
people A lady named Evangeline wrote
long poem about them, but 1t don't
rhyme"

CHAPTER XI--Continued.

The shaggy mountains were In deep
shadow. and the sunset was creeping into
the West when Jimmy GraysOn came out
on the porch where the correspondents
yet sat. Harley at once noticed a siSnif-
icant change in his appearance; he look
ed troubled. Before. if he was troubled
he always hid it and turned a calm eye
to every issue; but this evening there
was something new and extraordinary
about Jimmy Grayson; he was ashamed
and apolOgetic obviously So and Harley
felt thrill of pity that a man so intense
ly proud under all his democracy, or per-
haps because Of It, should be forced into
a position in which he must be. seem
ingly at least, untrue to himself.
The candidate hesitated and glanced at
the correspondents. his comrades of many
a long day. as if he expected them to ask
him questions but no one spoke. The
sinking sun dropped behind the noun
tains, end the following shadow also lay
across Jimmy Grayson's face. He was
the nominee Of a great party for PTesi-
dent Of the United States. but there was
a heart in him, and these young men. who
had gone with him through good times
and bad times. through weary days and
weary nights, were TO him like the staff

the strong father who had sheltered him

be a political power. as his father had
been, and the dead hand brought him the
place. Then he came into the West TO
join IN a great political campaign, but II
was his first real excursion into the real
world. and his ignorance was heavy upon
him"
A deep All ran through the crowd,
and Harley noticed a sudden look Of re-
spect upon the brown faces. They were
beginning to see where the thread OF the
story would lead Then Harley glanced

NOTE of serious warning

A NOTE of serious warning
~ IS sounded by the United
States Agricultural Depart
ment regarding the threatened ex-
tinction of wild water fowl that not
so many years ago swarmed over
the entire country in vast numbers,
1t was not until comparatively
recent times" states the warning,
that the tremendous increase of
population and the constantly in
creasing number both of sportsmen
and of market gunners, together
with the invention of that potent
engine OF destruction, the breech-
loading gun, have had their logical
effect in greatly diminishing the
numbers OF the fowl and IN praCt1-
cally exterminating not few spe-
cies."
As a result of present conditions,
the once numerous wood duck, it
may be cited as an example, lis
likely soon to be known only from
books or by tradition" the regal
canvasback and the lordly redhead,
formerly so common along the At
lantic coast, are now exceedingly
scarce. THE great focks that for
merly covered Chesapeake Bay are
of the past; few still winter on the
coast Of the Carolinas.'
Other species are fast disappear

most of the splendid water fowl of
America will have joined the buf-
falo in the realm OF tradition.

part Of Montana, the northern half of

corner Of Minnesota. The whole vast re-

nesting conditions and unlimited food.
Forty years ago every available nook
was crowded with water fowl, and the

The handsome residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Baker, jr., of north
Broadway, was the scene of a wedding
with most charming appointments on
Wednesday evening, when Miss Lucre-
tia Jarvis Baker became the bride of
William H. Sabin. The Baker resi-
dence was a beautiful bower of foliage
and flowers. In the long drawing room
vines trailed their glossy leaves over
the walls and wreathed the doorways
and windows, the palms and ferns in
the end of the room were arranged as
in a chancel and in among the droop-
ing fronds was a huge marriage bell
of white carnations, while tall white
tapers in gold cathedral holders famed
in a semicircle against the green. Mr..
Simmons presided at the pipe organ
and played a programme of ]appropri-
ate numbers, The Evening Star from

grin bridal chorus announced the com
ing of the bride and the intermezzo
from Cavaliera Rusticana was sound
ed as an accompaniment to to the SER
vice which was read by Dean Burleson.
AS the triumphant strains of the Lob
engrin chorus rang through the room
the bridal party entered. First came
Dean H. L. Burleson, followed by the
groom and best man, Roy 7. Baker.

entered with her brother, Thos. Baker
jr. Her gown was a beautiful one of
chiffon and point lace over taffeta and
she carried BRIDES roses. Following
