To FIGHT For SQUIRRELS.

Money was raised at the meeting of
the League of American Sportsmen the
other afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Henry Fairfield Osborn in New York
Tor the purpose of conducting cam
paign to obtain laws to prohibit the
shooting of gray squirrels. Unless this
is done the squirrels will soon become
extinct The league also seeks to pro-
h1bit the killing of wild fowl on their
way north as well as to prevent the
use of the automatic shotgun. There
are twelve state legislatures now In
session, and it is the aim of the mem
bers to induce each of these to pass
laws prohibiting these practices.

ANECDOTES OF PROCTOR.
How the Vermont Senator Got Even
With Congressman Capron.

How the Vermont Senator Got Even
With Congressman capron.
Redfeld Proctor, United States sena-
tor from Vermont, who recently died
at Washington, was not only a sue
cessful fisherman, but could tell a
good story, as is shown by one he told
at d fish and game league meeting at
Fort Frederick one summer. Congress
man Capron of Rhode Island was one
of the guests and had succeeded in
spinning yarn that brought a good
laugh at the expense of the Vermont
senator.
Unfortunately for the Rhode Island
er, Senator Proctor had the last
chance. He said no sportsman worthy
Of the name would tell a fish story
that was not true He happened to
know of one good fish story in which
the visitor figured
He proceeded to tell how, in Rhode
Island there were two fish and game
clubs. Congressman Capron belonged
to one of them. The record maintain
ed by Capron's club was the constant
surprise and envy of the members OF
the other club, the secret Of which was
not discovered until some time after
ward.
One day a neighbor came rushing
into the Capron clubhouse and wanted
to use the scales. He said there was
a new baby over at his house and
there was controversy over its
weight. The nurse was sure it was
ten FOUNDER. Capron hardly wanted
to lend the scales, but could not well
refuse, SO the baby was weighed.
"And what do you think the baby
figured On Capron's fish scales?"
smiled the senator. "Well, it tipped the
beam at an even forty-seven pounds"
Senator Proctor liked to tell of an
experience he had some time ago while
making tour of the west. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Proctor and
some fifteen or twenty other men and
women. The party made a stop at
Salt Lake City, and the senator and
his wife went for walk about the
place, half a dozen ladies following
them. That morning large party Of
tourists from the east had arrived
there, and some of them caught sight
of Mr.. Proctor and his friends. Said
one Of the tourists in stage whisper:
There's an old Mormon out for a
walk with his wives. l wonder il he

Democratic State Convention En-

Omaha, March with the Demo

party leaders from every county and
practically every primary district in
the commonwealth gathered here to
pledge allegiance to the presidential
aspirations of William Jannings
Bryan and to consider means for
furthering his interests before the
Democratic national convention at
Denver next July.
Enthusiasm was prevalent through
out the day. 1t broke loose early in
the session of the convention and,
gradually gathering volume, broke out
in tumultuous vociferations when the
resolution endorsing Bryan for presi-
dent was adopted.
The platform advanced little that
was new. The Fowler and Aldrich
currency bills were condemned
Emergency currency, it was declared,
should be ISSUED and controlled by
the federal government Immediate
revision OF the tariff was emphasized
as necessity, the "stand-pat" policy
being ridiculed in terms that made
the delegates shout with laughter.
A straight declaration in opposition
to Asiatic immigration and a clause
favoring the eight-hour working day
were decidedly popular. So, too, we're

Measures Hardness of Metals.

An instrument to measure the hard
ness of metals has been recently de-
vised, moro especially designed and
found very useful in the manufacture
of tools like twist drills, where the
hardness has to be kept between mar
row limits. 1t consists Of a glass tube,
within which a steel ball of 40 grains
weight, treated by a special process
SO as to have jewel hardness, falls
freely The height Of the rebound of
the ball measures the hardness Of the
metal it strikes Were the area of
contact between the dropped weight
and the metal larger, SO that no APP
preciable dent were made, the rebound
would be a measure of elasticity yath-
er than hardness. The height of the
rebound is measured on scale, of
which 100 is the average hardness of
carbon steel, which is also found to be
the safety limit for steel tools after
relocating and tempering ready for use.

order 10 sst the Importance of It's pre-
vsadon well Fixed In mind 1t is
recognized Fact that the greater ma
jority OF those persons who die from
this cause arc between the ages Of 20
and IS. Basing ones estimate upon
the value of human life as given in in
sarance estimates. the average value
in life capital that Is thus destroyed
is about $1,000. In tho summer of
1907 there were studied In the Seventh
and Ninth wards Of Pittsburg 1914
cases, with especial reference to the
actual cost In money expended These
cases occurred in LAG families; from
Thorn there were IL deaths; 81 wage
carriers lost 1914 weeks work; care
takers (not professional nurses, but
members Of the family) lost 1872
weeks work; there were IS of the
cases treated in hospitals; total cost.
in these three factories alone, $24 800.
This being proportioned among the
1900 per death 1t is without ques-
ton that the cost more nearly approx
imates $4,000 per typhoid death on
account of the inability of the
patient to resume work at his
normal rate. This makes a total
cost per death Of $4,000 There
is, then, with tho sole question of the
money cost in mind, deep problem
for solution before this one cause Of
