Wild Birds and Animals Ruthless1y
Slaughtered by Hunters.


Slaughtered by Hunters.
After spending two months in the
lake region of Southeastern Oregon in
vestigating conditions and studying
bird and animal life in that locality,
Herman Il. Bohlman and William l..
Finley returned to Portland Sunday
night. These two ethnologists have
been working in the interests of the AT

protect anG to preserve the Wild birds
and animals i'll this State, says the
Portland Oregopian.
"Our trip was full of hardships, es
pecially while we were on the lakes"
said Mr.. Finley. Il believe there are
to-day less than 5000 antelope In our
State. Their destruction has been rap

equipped by nature, but he cannot hold

Model Husband Test.

Chicago contains at least twelve
women who believe they have model
husbands, and they do not use the term
model as meaning small imitation of
the real thing. They had an exhibition
the other day at which the husbands
proved their right to the title. The
final and supreme test was given when
the men were called upon to fasten a
twenty-four-button embroidered shirt
waist; the waist was decorously put
on wooden dummy, so that the men
might be I'm no way embarrassed Two

To Prevent Lint sticking.

when pieces OF felt are pasted TO the
bottom of ornaments that are to stand
on a polished surface, care must be
taken that the surface is not damp or
the varnish fresh. or the lint from the
felt will stick to the wood and be worse
than the scratch. This happens quite
often in the slides of old mahogany
desks. The unsightly mark on the top
can only be removed by scraping gently
with piece Of fine ;andpaper and then
rubbing up with sweet oil and vinegar
