TEXAS BUZZARDs IN DEMAND.
Few Carloads Wanted For Shipment to
the North

Henry Fielding Of Bangor, Me-, ar
rived in the city recently and Is stop
ping at the Bexar hotel. His mission
in the Lone Star State is to purchase
and acquire Texas buzzards Of various
ages for shipment to Maine for scaven-
ger purposes. He is representing
number of the boards Of trade, cham
bers of commerce, business clubs, etc.,
Of Maine cities, which have recently
awakened to the fact that the supply
Of buzzards in Maine is rapidly de-
creasing, which is injurious to the ru-
raj districts in Maine.
Mr.. Fielding was instructed to select
the most strategic point as headquar-
ters in section Of the southwest well
populated with the crimson headed
creatures, and to begin operations. Mr.
Fielding says it is a matter Of general
knowledge that buZZards are thickest
In a cattle country, and inquiries by
mail and otherwise proved that south
west Texas is we'll stocked with what
he Is seeking. The shipments will be
in carload lots to various points Of
Maine. Most of them will probably
move out of San Antonia, coming here
in less than carload lots. However, II
Mr. Fielding secures a carload at any
particular point in the southwest the
shipment will be made from there.
Mr.. Fielding admits that his mission
Is unique and seems strange in COM
munity where buzzards are plentiful
yet one that can be perfectly appreciat-
ed in a community where the stock OF
buzzards has been almost wholly de-
stroyed. He says the last legislature
in the state of Maine passed stringent
laws relating to the slaughter Of buz-
yards and that during the next two or
three years an effort will be made to
undo the damage that has been done
and to remedy present conditions.
Naturally" said Mr.. Fielding, "any
one will admit that the bu2zard Is a
very necessary bird to rural districts.
He is not only a destroyer Of carrion,
but he is great detective and calls the
attention of many a farmer and ranch
owner to the presence Of nearby car
rion calculated to injure health. If not

Representatives last week. The
chaplain had barely finished his
morning prayer when hand clap
ping and laughter were heard from
various directions. The prayer
was as follows:
Good Lord, deliver us, we be-
seach Thee, from the jingo, the
demagogue, the bigot and all other
desirable citizens, and give us in
ST al the patriot, the statesman,
the broad-minded, the generous
hearted, manly man, that Thy
kingdom may come and Thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven,
for Christ's sake, Amen
The prayer was the talk of the
House for all hour or more after
its delivery, and many of the Rep
ublican members declared that the
visit of William J. Bryan had
something to do with it, but the
Democrats when confronted with
this suggestion declared the chap
lam was taking politics into the
pulpit.

many respects llnperlallStlC, more
over. The President scolds Con-
gress, which he has no right to do.
He threatens, which is a crime
against the Constitution, and he
rants, which is bad form always.
Opinions differ, too, as to the in
fluencing cause of the outbreak.
Some intelligent and widely exper-
fenced men believe that his purpose
was 20 promote the interests o.
Taft in New York and others are
quite confident that his idea was to
resuscitate the third term corpse.
Neither would be commendable
in a President.
Those who contend that his pur-
pose was to help Taft point TO the
fact that he mentions the Secretary
of Wars name as recommending
legislation in the interest of labor.
The gravest objection to Taft is hi,

was the first Judge to invoke he III

since held him as its arch-enemy.
Besides Friday night had been fix
ed on as the time for Governor
Hughes 10 formally announce his
candidacy for the nomination and
Teddy thought it would be clever
trick to take the centre of the stage
and draw attention to Taft rather
than to Hughes on the occasion.
1t wasn't altogether a bad idea

welt had the big type and front
page of all the newspapers and
Hughes got smal. space in obscure
corners. Still l think that those
who took the trouble to read both
thought we'll of Hughes in the end.
The theory that he was simply
trying to revive the third term pro-
ject is not without plausible argu-
ments either. Everybody in Wash
ington knows that Roosevelt would
rather have another election to the
Presidency than a choice seat in
heaven and that he has been as
mad as hornet ever since he was
forced to the last declaration that
he would not accept the nomina-
ton. Many believe that his abuse
of what he calls the predatory
wealth" is more for the reason that
those very rich malefactors"
made his reelection impossible than
because they have despoiled the
country. Even his last declaration
had a sort of string to it and he
was chagrined that the public took
him at his word In any event he
is not the striking figure that he
used to be and he doesn't like the
change.
The effect of his message on Con-
gress is conjectural and the subject

ton, If the Republican Senators
and Representatives thought he
would not come back again" they
would promptly tell him Ito 60"
and leave the completion of the
phrase to himself. But they have
dread of more messages of that
kind and because of that may make
a pretense of carrying out some of
his suggestions and trust to luck
for the result of their ultimate
failure.

A Healthy Sign of the Times,

1t is said that LibpincoHS is one
of the fortunate few magazines to
thrive in spite of depression tim
es." People seem to realize that
such a bargain twelve hrst-qual-
ity novels year-is not luxury,
but a necessity. Hence they feel
justified in holding on to this safe
investment with It's big paying divi-
dends. Libbine0tfs is sometimes
referred to as "a sure thing" and
in America this expression covers a
good desl-all of which must be
highly gratifying to its publishers.
A glance at the February con-
tents guarantees its popularity and
explains its prosperity under these
adverse conditions. THE Woman

number. Jimmie Bulstrode" fig
ures in this new story; he has made
many friends in short stories which
have appeared in Ha,pFr's and
Sfribner'S, SO that a new edition of
this jolly bachelor bids fair to meet
with an ovation from old and new
acquaintance. The scenes of The
Woman He Loved" are laid about
the estate of the Duke of West
boro' in England. The Duke is
estranged from his American wife,
and Bulstrode's tender heart-made
teuderer, perhaps, by seemingly
hopeless love affair OF his own
let's the troubles of his friends
trouble him to the extent of evolv-
ing a plan to smooth out their diff
ferences. How kind fate helps
along his scheme, incidentally re-
warding the benefactor, rotwith-
standing interesting complications
which threaten to wreck his craft,
makes a deeply absorbing tale,
while the vibrant, magnetic style
of the author charms to the very
verge of hypnotism.
The LipbineoH short stories are
marked by wide variety. In Feb,
ruary there are four distinctly live
ly plots. Thomas L. Mason con-
tributes one of his wittiest under
the title "a Story That Went
Wrong" Elsie Singmaster's story
of domestic life among the Penn

clever and amusing sketch by Har.

like "the rickies," on Monday.
Commenting on the Presidents re-
markable message Of last Friday,
he affirmed every proposition of

Republican party and added that

was that which composes the Re-
publican majority in the House.
This wonderful message of the
President bas been thorn in the
Republican flesh of Congress.
When it was read in the House on
Friday it was cheered vociferously
by the Democrats and listened to
with disgust by the Republicans.
And, by the way, the alert young
Democratic Congressman from your
district, John G.. McHenry, led the
applause. At the outset of the
message the President urges the
reenactment of the employers liza
bility act, recently declared uncon-
stitutional by the Supreme Court,
with such notifications as will ov-
ercome the objections of the court.
Mr.. McHenry, who has been trying
to get some legislation along simi-
lar lines, for the benefit of labor,
expressed his approval by mildly
applauding. At the next express
ion of Democratic policies Mr.. Nc
Henry again applauded and was
joined by some of his Democratic
colleagues. Finally the House
fully abandoned itself to enthu-
siasm.

scowled at this demonstration
