But it is impossible for a beaver to climb a

cannot climb a ree."-'' The dogs were after

There dawned one time on the vision OF
President Roosevelt at the White House the
spectacle Of a large, COrPUlent American beaver
sitting at the foot OF a tail tree In the near
foreground were the dogs 1t occurred 70 PresI-
dent Roosevelt to suggest TO the beaver that

what they knew about the resources of Amer
lea. These concluded that much information
OF an interesting sort could be and ought % be
compiled. Their conclusions are appalling.

A Strong Accusation

WE are the most lawless and the most waste
w ful people in the world. On the other
hand we have many amlable and redeemIng
qualities. many handsome attributes and ad-
mirable traits. We have the largest balance of
trade in the world, and more Salome dancers
than all the Powers of Europe combined. We
are running SIX Devil companies in one city at
the same time. more than all Austria, Hun
gary. and Bulgaria together possess. We have
the light weight, middle weight, and heavy
weight champions of the world dwelling IN our
midst We use more divorces. more wood.
more coal. steel. and iron, per capita than any
people of the world. We spend more on ath-
letiCs and politics per capita than any people IN
the world. We have, SO far as native Americans
are concerned, one of the lowest birth rates IN
the world. France SurpasseS us; but we NAV
vet equal France. We are going down hill
physically faster than any other country in the
world. Others may now be lower; but they
are not going low SO fast as we. We eat faster.
swear harder. drink more. ride more maniac
ally. run faster, dive deeper, come up dirtIcr,
and are prouder of our dirt than any other
people IN the world.
Thirty centuries ago Tyre and Sidon might
have disputed some of these claims with US.
In three thousand years they have taught us
nothing. We intend no disrespect to Pitts
burgh by the comparison; but the similarity Is
natural and striking More coal originates and
passes through Pittsburgh than through four
OF the greatest maritime capitals of the world
London. Liverpool. Hamburg. and New
York. But we must time that anthracite coal
supply for fifty years. And al the biturninous
end of the next century. Bats fly in the tenn
pies Of Syria. VIII the wild dogs one dav dwell
where Pittsburgh stands to-day2
Such things have happened. This is Amer
lea; not the land of milk and honey, but of
water and velvet; but things may happen here.

Decline of Game and Fish

N/E had game birds IN America once We
w were a nation of SpOTtsmen once, al
though we are not now. \ nation of sports
men Is a nation Of soldiers, but we are not that,
to-day. You pay now three dollars and fifty
cents for an illegal prairie chicken. Once 1t
went legally begging at ten cents. No one ever
planted game. We only reaped It; sold it.;
wasted it. In some future war We shall shoot
about we'll as England did against the sport
ing Beers. Never mindl 1t will cost Us only a
few hundred thousand lives more; and lives
are cheap to-day
We had some fish once on a time. Also we
had fish trust The firm of A. Booth & Co.
tried benevOlently to asslnIlate all the tSh
firms in the country. 1t was a handsome bust
ness, whose basic idea was that OF Tea ping where
no sowing was required: in the public waters
of this country. do not know how the present
head of the Booth firm figures it; but twenty
five years ago | talked with old 4. Booth, then
its leading figure. He told me-twenty y-tvc
years ago, remember-that there would not be
a whltetish living IN the Great Lakes south OF
Lake Superior were 1t not for the continuous
planting done by the adjacent States. That
was twenty-five years ago. To-day the tISh
trust, which has reaped what Nature or these
States planted, and done no planting of con-
sequence on its own part, attempts to harvest
many fields that utterly are exhausted
Once we had some Shad, and some still ad-
mire that many boned fish. The United States
Fish Commission plants Shad in millions This
year 1t says that IT IS only with extreme dIth-
Guilty it can get fry enough to keep the balance
even. SO great is the commercial reaPing that
goes on.
We have salmon also; planted largely for
the sake of the CannerieS In Alaska to-day
there are many rivers now utterly barren of
salmon which once swarmed with them. The
netters cleaned out and canned all those which
once reSorted there. To-day the fish COM
mission declares that the nets at the mouths
of the rivers let UP few salmon that they
can get scarcely eggs enough TO run their
hatcherieS. Once | saw fifty thousand salmon
thrown overheard at an Alaska cannery. There
was no oil to run the soldering plant. 'Ah.
very we'll" said the captains of the fShboatS,
W II go out and get some more" The salmon
we have killed and wasted cannot be numbered
by any geOmetriC progression of infamous de
struCtion.

to advise Church on husbandry duties

Miss Rudd sent for George l.. Stone
and gave to him the hand which he
had sought long and persistently. The
wedding was held Saturday evening.
