An interesting Story In View OF
the "kill lncurables"
Bill.
LIVED TO BE UNHAPPY
Widow of Traction Masnate and Bride
of Fortune Hunter Affords Object
Lesson to the Iowa Leg
islature.

New York. March l4-A remarkable
story of the widow of Charles Il.
Yerkes, who married Wilson Miner a
few weeks ago. within a month after
her former husbands death, is old in
the current number of the Saturday
Evening Post by DR.. JOIN V. Shoemak-
er, president of the faculty of the Med
tco-Chirurgical college of Philadelphia.
The purpose of DR.. Shoemaker's arti-
Gle is to point out the absurdity of TIE
theory that so-called "incurables'
should be killed after they had been
pronounced incurable by a corps of
competent physicians to save them
selves needless suffering.
DR.. Shoemaker illustrated his view
with the remarkable case of Mrs.
4erkes-Mizner, who might have been
killed several years ago had the adj
vanced ideas" of surgery been in OPP
Grafton.
AT the outset of his article DR.. Shoe
maker writes:
The wife of a famous multi-mil-
lionaire lay dying in Chicago-her COM
plant the rare and incurable malady
known as Addison's disease. Half a
dozen physicians of the highest repu-
tation We're at the bedside, and all of
them declared the cas- hopeless.
She could not live, they agreed,
more than six months at the utmost.
1t would nave been a mercy to put her
out of her misery, though nobody sug-
gested such ar idea on that subject,
being less advanced than neY.
and, being summoned in a sort of ac-
cidental way, 1 ventured the opinion
that the patient was suffering from
nothing worse than a disordered liver.
My temerity provoked frowns Of re-
Duke. but proof that I was correct may
be found in the circumstance that.
though the incident to which I refer
occurred eighteen years ago, she is
now alive and WELL"

Tillman then read the resolution and
also from an act to regulate commerce

Tillman went extensively into the
OF a%ppropriating money for
purposes of the resolution, declaring It
could be taken care of in the sundry

against the president lightly and flip
insulting the senate. He said
he could pardon many things on &C
count of the great burdens OF the
president and because Of his i'm
petuosity.
In reply to Tlllman Lodge said:

he did not see how the president

Mr. Crawford rejo!ces at the revival OF otter
hunting. 1T is the only Scottish sport under
perfectly natural conditions. with nothing I'M
real" He thinks II is good for the spirit OF
sport ana not bad for the spirit Of the other.
THE chase breaks the monotony. the too dreamy
flow OF a streamside existence. To be hunted Is
just the other side OF hunting. and lends the
contrast. which puts a sharper edge life.
Slumbering powers are called into play 10 add
10 the sum OF its activity. The otter. on the
tran or the salmon. would be ever much
poorer but for the otter In it's holt. listening to
the hounds on the far bank. with a track of
scentless stream between. and deciding the
next move" Perhaps the otter would prefer the
monotony to the excitement. yet surely no one
Ia better qualified TO speak for the birds and
beasts than this enthusiastic friend OF theirs.
Otter hunting Is sport without social or sex
distinctions. Women Join In the chase. and In

FROM FOXS EARTH TO MOUNTAIN TARN
BY j. H Crawford. With seventeen ilustra-
tions from photographs. Svo. pp. x. 274 John
Lane Company.
Mr. Crawford modestly calls his latest volume
"a contribution to the natural history of Scot
land" Such in truth. 1t Is; but there is moth
ing of the textbook scientific treatise IN these
random, breezy essays about the wild life OF the
lowlands and the highlands. The scope of the
book is best described by the author himself:
1t ranges from the border to Shetland. from burn
to river, from shaded lane to fenceless moor and
bare mountain. Trout and salmon. singing bird to
current ripples; the rings break out on the pool
in the twilight the voies come forth from their
of the hound. the crack of the gun echo through
the pages Il is confined to the North, Scotland
the term wild life has much meaning.
The book embodies the authors protest against
the killing off of the few forms Of wild life that
still exist in Great Britain Some of these forms
are of course. In no danger of determination.
The fox, the pheasant, the trout and other fash
ionable' game too carefully protected TO be
in any danger of vanishing from the scene. The
fox may even eat the pheasant and escape pun
ishment for his crime; but the wildcat and the
hawk and other "vermin"-to borrow the Ian
guage Of the gamekeeper-are ruthlessly de-
stroyed in the supposed interests of the birds
and beasts that are the more favored quarry of
the sportsman. An ardent sportsman himself.
Mr.. Crawford regards this warfare against the
wild things of the woods as equally inimical to
the interests of true sport. Deprived of their
natural enemies, the deer and the fox and the
grouse become less alert. and. half tame them
selves make for tame sport.
And tame they will become: by degrees. perhaps
but steadily. Half the wildness of wild creatures
is a continuous fear and watchfulness: half OF the
of nature, and you have no nature In either
scale The falcon. which strikes the fttest. points
is reversion the reality behind, barely covered
out of sight Kill her and with the same bullet
you kill the grouse as you know It, and arrest
sport
In scotand-in parts of IL. az least-wild life
has freer range than in England and persists
under more natural conditions. Owing to the
lowed in England. Is impossible. but the author
puts in a plea for hunting the fox afoot. All
that is wanted. he says. is a sportsmanlke spirit
There is a waste of good material, marvellous
lack of ingenuity. Can no come to the aid
OF heavy wittsd man?' Mr.. Crawford comes,
but apparently he finds few TO follow him
Americans and Germans monopolize the sport
of Scotland. Comparatively few Englishmen go
there. and the scotchmen seek their fortunes and
fun In foreign lands. Those who stay at home
play golf The golfers lay out their links upon
the moors, and the birds are driven from their
nesting sites. Not single inland course that
does not In way alter the wild nfel" he
cries.
