Vices Of Foreign SpsrrOwS Make Native
SOngsterS Suffer. National UniVer-
sity Of OrnithOIOgy May Right
the Wrong.

New York, October st:-Be.
cause not one American in a hun
bred has been found who knows
the difference between the pestifer-
Gus European House Sparrow,
commonly known as English spar
row, and the intensely valuable
sparrows native to this country,
an educational campaign is being
launched in this city to-day with
the object of making every citizen
of the United States acquainted
with his feathered compatriots.
Taking as text the sins of the
foreign bird which are visited upon
the head of his innocent American
cousins, the National Association
of Audubon Societies is planning
to establish what may prove
university of ORTHODOXY for the
nation. When an adequate en-
dowment for such an institution is
provided it is intended to carry the
simple facts of bird habits and
economic value to every mind in
the land.
That ignorance of the distinction
between the native sparrows and
the injurious species from across
the ocean is causing the wholesale
of America most valu-
able bird race has been proven by |
recent Investigations of the projec- |
tors of this scheme. Great num-
bers of the little Yankee birds, who

cousins. That "a sparrow is a
parrow' has been discovered to be

ority of the people Of this country
where the pest Of the English House
sparrow is being more and more
esented.
With a score Of such species as
he Tree, Chipping, Field. Swamp,
ark, Grasshopper, Vesper and
Ong Sparrow, the Junco and eros
eak, enlisted to kill weeds and
armful insects for the farmer and
in every section of this
ountry, the government authori-
es have declared the American
)arrows to be "of greater value TO

A MISDIRECTED APPEAL.
Ddor of Gasoline and the Unsympa
thetic Majestic Person.

With a dubious sniff at her waist
Just cleaned with gasoline, Mrs. Lloyd
slipped into it and went to hear the
famous lecturer at the woman IS CLUB
The assembly hall was packed when
she arrived-only standing room left
but one might perhaps catch a SEN
tence now and then, enough to help
one to appear intelligent at the re-
ception to be given the celebrity after
the lecture was done; so Mrs. Lloyd
edged her way into the crowd and
paused under the wing of majestic
looking woman in an elaborate mauye
gown.
AS the lecture had not begun, Mrs.
Lloyd had leisure to notice and feel a
quick, suspicious glance from the ma
jestic stranger, and Immediately after
that she realized to her horror that
stealthy fumes of gasoline were rising
about her. The closeness and heat Of
the place must have brought it out
again. With her dainty nose elevated
she anxiously inhaled the odor, trying
to decide Just how bad it was, and at
the same time she fancied that the
majestic person drew away slightly,
ostentatiously dilating her own nos
trils.
''Perhaps / imagine it after all, -
impulse she whispered to her naughty
neighbor. 81 beg pardon, but do you
notice the odor of gasoline?'
A surprised glare was the only an
swer. and Mrs. Lloyd felt constrained
to add:
"My excuse for mentioning it is
IL =.
gether. / have friend who says
gasoline smells of poverty and,
while I don't go so far as that, still
it $ not a desirable perfume. And, of
course, to feel oneself a nuisance in
place.
just here, to Mrs. Lloyd IS ehagrin,
the majestic woman gave one last re-
sentful sniff and forcibly wedged her
way through the crowd to a spot some
ten feet distant.
1t was unsympathetic. to say the
least. and gentle little Mrs. Lloyd was
so ruffied by the incident that she
found herself unable to listen to the
lecture and decided to leave the han.
The door had Just swung together be.
hind her when it opened again.
fOh. Jeannette!' called the voice
of friend. :" Had to come out to
breathe. didn't you? So did I. A
woman simply reeking with gasoline
came and pressed against me, and
What woman? Was she tail? Did
she have on a mauve gown2''
Yes, with long white gloves that
she must have cleaned just before she
left horne. Did you get some, too?"
. Ella, was the answer, come
closer to me. Does Ibis waist smell
of gasoline or note
''Not a bit Why? What made
you think it did3"
g Horrors" CALCULATED Mrs Lloyd
with seeming irrelevance. 'sWhat do
you suppose that woman thinks OF
me}''

HAWAI|ANS WILL GET
FIRST CLASS MOUNTS

In the presence of what is expected
to be the greatest audience ever brought
to Cheyenne to watch the Frontier
Days Wild West stunts, Archie Kaaua
and Ikua Purdy, Hawaii IS champion
ropers, will compete with the flower of
the range country cowboys for roping
and riding honors, the latter part of
August.
Jack Low, who is looking out for
the interests of the cowboys, took a
valise full of letters from the local
Cheyenne colony to their friends in
Wyoming, asking them to give the is
landers the squarest of square deals.
"They will get the best deal ever
passed OUT said Ed. Towse yester-
day. ''The cowboys over there will
take the greatest delight in a cham
pion who comes from another section
of the country, and the Hawaiians will
certainly be given the best frontier re-
eeption ever held. / sent about TWEEN
ty letters to friends, and particularly
asked that the two Hawaiians be given
frst-class mounts. There is one thing
about the cattle land horses, they don t
know anything but lariats, roping and
all the tricks which make it possible
for human beings to make roping rec
ords So the Hawaiian cowboys can
be sure of good, strong horses.
"That this Frontier Days exhibit
ton is becoming a great annual feature
is shown by the fact that they are
erecting a $4,000 steel grandstand. -

eft is a common but silly

eft is common but silly opin
ion prevailing among GER
tain class of people that the
worse a remedy tastes, smells CIR
hurts, the more efficacious it is.
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds:
"For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is SO often
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, nc
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which so seriously interfere
with it's usefulness" This was
written years ago; the work of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as q leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all its wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by US from fresh
COD livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos
phites and Extracts of Malt anG
Wild Cherry; creating a medi,
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and fa-
ral among men, women and chill
dren. There is no other remedy
to compare with it. 1t increa.

MOSQUITO FLEET
IS SUGGESTED

William G. Irwin has presented cup
to the Hawaii Yacht Club to be raced
| for under any conditions named by the
club. There will be meeting in the
near future to decide what the course
shall be and how many times the cup
must be raced for before it becomes
the property of one owner. The Hilo
and return course is a very likely one,
and many of the prominent yachtsmen
endorse this course since the wonder
full showing made by the smaller sloops
in the recent race.
The Hawaii win be taken to Pearl
Harbor next Sunday and made fast to
permanent mornings there. Alex. Lund
quist will be left in charge, and will
take care of the yacht while she is out
of commission. The Yacht Club au
thorities feel that they have made a
good choice in selecting this man for
the position. He acted as mate dur
ing the race from San Pedro, and has
shown himself to be a very conscien
tious man, as well as good sailorizer.
1t is probable that, in the near future,
there will be one-design mosquito
feet in Pearl Harbor. Taking a les
son from Southern California, the local
yachtsmen have decided to indulge in
what is perhaps the greatest water
sport in the world.
4 re Of llon al
very little and craft of this kind is !
sailed by one man, and not only brings |
out individual skill, but acts as a
splendid nursery for seamanship.
The South Coast Yacht Club of Los
Angeles has held series of mosquito
regattas in the winter time for several /
years, and each ensuing event has been /
a greater success than the one before. /
It was in 1901 that Captain Dodge, then
commodore of the Yacht Club, made
the suggestion that the square-ended I
dinghies used by most of the yachts
would make excellent sailers if equip
ped with sails. He started the thing
going by having center-board put in
his boat and stepping a mast with a
triangular sail.
This boat made itself famous on a
trip to Avalon bay on the Island of Cat
alma. There were ten yachts anchored
