WALMSLEY'S SNAKES.
Game and Fish Champion Finds Two
 In Park.

From the Kansas City Sun.
 1ney were very ordinary rattlesnakes these that x-Representative Harry R. Walmsley found in Swope park. It was in March, In that first early warm spell that he saw them. They had Just come out of their winters sleep. They weren't t particularly afraid of anything or any one. Perhaps they recognized Represent ative Walmsley as their old friend and protector. Maybe they were just grouchy because their long sleep was broken q month too soon. but whatever 1t was and whatever happened a story grew out of the day.
 Representative Walmsey has fought for the fish and game of Missouri-fought for everything that lives, and moves and breathes. Cold hearted legislators tore holes in his game law at the last session of the legislature but heNfought on till the shutters were hung up on the capitol and a sign "All Over" was nailed to the door.
 It was after this fight, so MT. Walms-

 There is man in Louisiana, Edward Wisner by name, who is harborng an unique idea of so absolutely utiltarian or isn that if properly developed, il must have q far-reaehlng humanitarian. ef- feet
 He has stated to friends that he has notion to appeal 10 President Roosevelt to procure a large colony of storks to be domieiled in Louisiana. At present there are really no storlls in North Amerlcd-a fact which may have q hitherto unsus- pected bearing on conditions loudly ll- mented by our President. As the habitat of the storll is the marshy regions of IIu- rope, Asia and Africa, where they are very abundant during the warm season. making long migrations as the seas1n3 change, it would seem that they should find physical conditions in Louisiana very much to their liking
 Wisner, who lives in New Orleans, by the way, a city surrounded with allnvia1 lands that are vacant because undrained Is interested in projects for extensive drainage work for the purpose of making fruitful for the benefit of mankind vast tracts of fertile lands now too wet for cultivation. Drainage involves the build ing and the maintenance of levees. CrdW- fish are the greatese enemies of levees, many a destructive crevasse having had It's origin In the seemingly insignificant borrowings of the crawfsh. Storls seek their food on the borders of streams and crawQsh are to the stork what diamond back terrapin and canvas-back duck ere to the human gourmet.

ley admitted last night, that he took his boys one day to Swope park to get away from the noise of the city. The weather was warm. The party tramped over the green, watching the birds and listening to the first call of the wild.
 Dirtcly in front of the ex-legislator a writhing. wiggling forTR suddenly moved in the grass. A rattling sound was heard and the representative halted ab- ruptly.
 "A snake" he commented.
 Another similar sound near it, and
 Another snake" he said.
 His boys came running up. The three looked at the rattlers. Then something terrible happened.
 MT. Walmsley picked up a stick. In a flash he had plnioned one O. the snakes to the earth.
 "Go to that policeman. h. command ed one of his boys. Tell hih, have a rattler."
 "what did he say?" the friend of all lvings things asked.
 Said to kill him." the son replied.
 Nearby was a gopher hole Slowly and carefully Mr. Walmsley herded the rat tier to it. And then the other.
 "I had just twinged my conscience all I could when I sent for that policeman to come to the snake" MT Walmsey said. Law, me! I wouldn't have killed it."
 But why did you ask the officer to kill it?' he was asked.
 'T didn't ask him to kill it." MT. Walmsley corrected. q just sent for him to come and get it.
 But you thought he would kill it?'
 "I didn't know what he'd do. It wasn't my snake"
 And then MT. Walmsley launched into an explanation of how the rattlesnake lives on the mice of the field and how the mice of the field and the young rabbits ruin the farmers orchard.
 'No," he summed it up, its not right to kill snakes I wouldn't do it"
 And he didn't, eith'c.

From the New York Times.
 Two young Irish girls, one of whom Ina dapparently only 'lately landed,' were walking through West Fifty-third street the other day and the following scrap of conversation was overheard by a woman who was close behind them. In front of the Catholic church of St. Benedict the Moor the girls paused to read the name. and then glanced upward at the large figure of the saint, which adorns the front of the structure.
 "Why, Mary" exclaimed the green born," clutching eXcitedly at her com panion's sleeve, "it looks like a black manra

Is National Bird.

Thus 1t comes about that the storll ls the national bird of Holland, because It benevolently assimilates the erawfish that would otherwise destroy the dykes be- hind which the Hollanders live and move and have their prosperous being. Incl dental 10 this necessary work of destrue- ton of crawfish. the storlt has become the gladly hailed agent or intermediary in the promotion of the humanitarianism of which President Roosevelt is the world wide recognized advocate and exponent lie will, therefore, 1t Is believed by Wis ner, recognize at once the vast opportua- ity for the humar race offered in the purely material notion of Wisne" gr9und- ed upon the crawflsh.
 President Roosevelts reasoning will probably take some such route as this Louisiana is not supporting the popula- tion justified by its natural resources. It has on the average only about 3l per sons to each square mile of it's territory. It's deficiency in that respect becomes ap- parent when 1t Is considered that Rhode Island has 4O7 persons to each square mile of it's territory, Massachusetts 3lS, New York 152 and Pennsylvania 140. /

To Increase Population.

Louisiana is resortng to all sorts of de- vices to increase it's population, and at the same time has 8 number of progress sive. far-seeing citizens like Wisner who desire to accentuate the natural advan- tages to make opportunities for new corners to share in the prosperity that must surely come with full population by getting in on the ground floor, as it were the rich soil reclaimed by drainage Louisiana has, for instance, an alert com missioner of immigration, seeking far and near to induce settlers to come to the state.
 It has lately been concerned deeply in providing a commodious station for the temporary accommodation of folk from foreign lands seeking their fortunes in the new country. It has more recently become interested in efforts to bring into the state waifs and orphans from north ern cities and to find them homes In the country districts, where they may grow up as productive citizens. absorbing as they approach adult life the 2manners customs and feelings of the people who nurture them This latter plan has many attractions, especially from the stand point of the little left-overs from the fierce struggle for existence in the pur- lieus of our great cities. But 1t has it's drawbac cks
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-08-04
Controlling Force.

The question naturally arises, will heredity or environment be the greater controlling force in the lives of these wafs when they have reached adult estate?" The very fact that they are waifs deserted by their parents or or phans with none of their kith and kin fitted to raise them suggests at once an ancestry not promising of valuable citt- zenship in the descendants viewed by and for the large The little victims of poverty or crime have had the misfor- tune of bad introduction into the world. To be sure, hereditary influences may be overcome, but that involves certain amount of moral and material waste absolutely uncalled for if only the storl idea be grasped and vigorous ly pushed.
 For 1t is obvious that the introduction of storlSs in large numbers into Louis lana and the making of them feel at home amid the hospitality offered in an abundant supply of crawfsh, otherwise a menace to the real progress of the state. will insure constant and steadi- ly-inereasing stream of immigrants fresh from heaven. They will have no possible hereditary taint; they will not be obliged to overcome the influence of Old World life or to adjust them selves with difficulty to new surround ings; they will be to the manner born. Arganized labor, disorganized land pro- prietors or splitting immigration officials at Washington can raise no complaint against them that would hold water for moment. The only objector would possibly be some vixen ed Malthusian, afraid that he might meet his deserved fate and be prema- turely crowded off the earth.
 The Pelican state is kind of stork state, anyhow. Let it hail the bird of Holland and give it home for ever and ever Amen.
