One hundred and twenty-five chik
dren and . sprinkling Of older folk
we're present yesterday afternoon at

ladies who are among the best known
Of all the inhabitants Of Laramie, Mrs.
M. C. Brown and Mrs. Edward I~vinson,
while Miss Grace Peabody added the
charm of her beautiful voice by singing
two solos.
Librarian W. 8. -1ngham briefly an
nounced the program and stated that
there will, be similar STORY hours"
every two weeks. Mrs. M. c. Brown
then, in her inimitable manner. adj
dressed the children upon what 1t is
hoped to accomplish by the work, pay
ing a well deserved compliment to
Mrs. W. H. Holiday for her initiative
and owe Of children.
An Incentive to Study.
Mrs. Brown caught the attention Of
the children by the hrst words she
spoke. She told them Of the powerful
effect which their present thoughts
and deeds and the books they read will
have over their future lives, and Of
how beautiful deeds and great works
can only spring from a mind well
stored with the right kind Of informa-
ton and accustomed t othink beautiful
thoughts. She drew a comparison be-
tween the steam which animates a To-
connective and the spirit and love which
should animate everyone to work, not
only for their own good, but for the
good Of others. Mrs. Brown spoke Of
the opportunity which the STORY hour"
affords to bring the great thoughts of
great minds before children and en-
phasize the work which the children
themselves can accomplish by attend
ing the meetings and bringing others
with them.

the subject.

Farmers OF U. S. $500 600 900
Annually in the Loss of Crops.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Because of
the decrease in birds the United States
is losing yearly without protest sum
larger than the capitalization of all the
national banks in the country, was the
statement made by President w. M.
butcher of the National Association of
Audubon societies at the annual meet
ing of the association here. The pub
lie, declared Mr.. butcher, placidly
allows agricultural crops valued at
$500, 600, 900 to be annually destroyed
by insects, which destruction is entirely
due to the rapid decrease in the number
of insectiverous birds in the country.
IF a million or more dollars are lost
through the management of bank or
other fiduciary institution" he said,
lit creates wave of protest through
out the entire country, yet yearly loss
equal to the entire capitalization of the
national banks of the country creates
no comment whatever simply because
the public does not realize what is going
on"
Mr.. butcher said the association was
in position to do good work along the
line of the protection of birds, but that
in order to successfully carry on its
work it should have larger endow-
ment fund and far larger member
ship.
