What Roosevelt May Kill.

According to the statement of the
laws regulating the shooting of big
game in Africa, Mr.. Roosevelt will
have himself to blame if he does not
have a "corking" time next year and
does not beat the average hunter Ito
a frazzle" in the jungles of the Dark
Continent. The law permits him to
shoot two male elephants; two rhinoc-
crosses; ten hippopotami; twenty -one
antelope, including two kudos, two
gemboks and one bongo-whatever
they are; two earth hogs; two earth
wolves; ten chevrotains; two musk
deer; two marabu storks; two os-
triches; two egrets, and one chimpanzee.
He will be forbidden to shoot gi-
raffes, wild asses, Gland, zebras, female
or young elephants, vultures, owls,
whale headed or saddle billed storks.
crowned cranes, Okapi, female buffalo,
female or young ostriches and Specke's
aphus-whatever that is.
These lists of permitted and prohib-
tied victims contain many names which
are strange to the average ear. At
first glance it would appear that some
may be killed which ought to be pre-
served, and that more are spared which
ought to be extirpated on general prin-
ciples. For instance, why should the
mild-eyed antelope be doomed and
>pecke's tragelaphus spared? Does any
body know of any good ever done in the
world by Specke's tragelaphus! Is it
l friend of man or does it add to wom-
ms joys? Does Specke's tragelaphus
serve any useful purpose at all. What
'eason can it give for roaming the At
lean wilds immune from prowling nim-
'ods, while the rhinoceros must flee
limbly for safety and the graceful hip
'opotamus may have its beauty lost to
he world by the rifle OF whomsoever
can?-kansas City Journal.

PSYCHIC CLINIC
FOR THE BLUES

THOSE whose minds rather than
their bodies need treatment are be-
ing received these days at the Cor
nell University Medical College in the
first clinic for psyche therapeutics ever
established in this city in connection
with professional school.
On Thursdays from ten to fifteen pa-
tlents are being treated, and the results
attained in some cases have been excel
lent. The patients are selected, and only
those are retained whose treatment bv
this method is especially indicated. The
history OF each is carefully taken and
studied. Hypnotism is used in some in
stances, and the whole method of treat
ment is based upon the ability of the
physician to reach the subjective mind
OF the person to whom he ministers.
PERSONS down on their luck" or
whatever the professional equivalent for
that lugubrious condition may be, are
cheered by comforting words and sooth-
ing accents and told to keep up heir
courage. Often they are put to sleep
while these inspiring suggestions are
given to them.
In instances of acute melancholia the
physicians of Cornell are said to have
achieved very encouraging results. Some
times the conditions of sadness are asso-
'lated with feeling of vague unrest the
morning after a night of drifting over
many bars on the borders of the great
ocean OF life.-New York Herald.

MEXICAN REVOLT
STILL A MENACE
President Seeks TO Check
Marauders Who Find Ref
uge in America.

Determined to suppress the Mexican
fusuTreStionists who are taking refuge
IN Texas. and making occasional raids
into Mexico, President Roosevelt nas
written TO the Department OF Justice
and TO other departments urging vigil
lance IN tho guarding of the Rio Grande
border.
The President has suggested also the
advisibility of appointing special coun-
sci to investigate the claims OF i'm
nlunity from prosecution made by some
Of the Mexican subjects. who assert
that as political offenders, they are not
subject TO extradItion.
The State Department contends that
they might be punished for violating
the neutrality laws. but the Department
OF Justice is disposed TO act slowly in
proceeding against them on such
grounds.
Frequent correspondence on the sub
ject has passed between the State De-
partment and the Mexican government.
It is not unlikely that the War De-
partment will be directed to increase
the number of garrisons along the
Mexican border.
