Do you know that there is an Organi-
cation called the National Association
of Audubon Societies. that its head
quarters are at III Broadway. New
: York city, and that its object is to pre-
vent the beautiful birds and wild game
generally of our country from being
murdered ard slaughtered off the earth
by greedy and savage hunters who il
this respect bark back altogether to the
times of elemental man. when 4 so

In every state Of the Union, game

the Audubon society has petitioned the
legislature to enact bill making the

America? Do you want the sweet
song of the robin, bluebird. redbrd and
catbird to lie hushed forever, so that
no American will even any longer

Headline in a newspaper, Women
Score the Refreshment Room In the
New Diana Club Oh yes, women
are always scoring" something! And
much good it does! Scoring things is
not the way to reform evils. Then.
again, some of the things some women
score as evils are not evils at all if
the scorers only had knowledge and in
telligent development enough to see
it. If women would stop the scoring
business awhile and study all sides of
the questions they shoot off their opin-
ions about. then when they did at
length speak their judgment would be
worth something and would be listened
to with respect
I have lately read quite taking &C
count of how five working girls rented
a seven room city fat and made hap
py home, doing all their own house
work They have brought their living
eXpenses-food. rent and gas-down to
$3.50 a week apiece and live better
than they would for 81 week in a
boarding house. Their success comes
from two words, harmony and hustle.
A woman in an aristocratic suburb
of New York city went on the hunt of
her long American descent. She was a
Daughter with big d of several la
dies societies that held themselves ex-
elusive because of their stretched out
line of American ancestry. This Daugh-
ter with a big D was looking up the
history of her great-grandfather. She
found it in the courthouse records of
New Jersey county. The records told
the highly descended dame that her
at-grandfather had been hanged as
a pirate She didn't go back any far

Girls employed in the Philadelphia
postoffice have resolved they will cease
to spend their time reading novels and
will not 'mollycoddle" themselves any
more. Instead they will go in for out
door athletics and become noble speci-

hood They have already organized six
basket ball teams. Let novel reading, |
mollycoddle girls elsewhere sit up and |
take notice.
I don't know when I've read any
thing better than the story Of how |
Princess Wah-nah-ho-ko, chief Of the
Kickapoo Indians, gave her evidence |
as witness to a United States senate !
committee. The Kickapoos had criev-
ances. and the woman chief was asked |
to set them before the committee. |
Here is Wah-pah-ho-lzo's speech: We
