Securing as permanent homes for the
birds islands and remote tracts that
are their fayorlte haunts Is humane
and perfectly feasible plan Of the Au-
dubon society that has recently re-
ceived a cordial Endorsement from
President Roosevelt. says the Boston
Transcript. This project OF enlarglng
birdland by purchasing from private
citizens breeding places In the island
and coastal region OF the Atlantic, Pa
ctic and Of the gulf and or providing
the birds In their homes with human
guardians Is one taat may be depended
upon to provide every race among our
nations birds with ample quarters for
al time. And it is only by such a
thorough and wide flung measure that
this desired end may be assured. The
aid Of every American citizen Is justly
sought that the best success may at.
tend the efforts OF the Audubon society
- this direction.

A Hint 70 Mr.. WV.


They say you'll soon be with us, with
new question marks unspent,
oh, WI, with almond optics, from the far
of orient
No doubt you'll want to ask us all the ifs
and ands and why's.
But please be easy with us-do not try to
get too wise.
Don't ask US why the home team didn't
win the baseball nag.
II pains us even thinking Of that much
desired rag.
Don't ask us why the grafters, who have
made the righteous rail,
Are on the streets in freedom, stead Of
doing time in jail.
Don't ask why John DIS golf game has
grown just a trifie on
Nor why muck raking writer's I'LL the land
with gibe and soon.
Dent ask US why the hospitals are filled
with athletes priced
When the noble game Of football has been
"debrutalized."
Don't ask such awkward questions thai
we're tempted to evade-
We like to throw our chests out when you
put US on parade.
0e Be- easy on us fellows. and wen toll
the truth 10 you
~ y0u'li stick ia pleasant queries, oh, peSs

love has passed away. For the woman

The present condition OF affairs Is de-

IL think the responsibility for I'M

woman. IL she did not feel she was
obliged to marry there would be fewer
unhappy marriages.
"There Is less excuse for the stage

A Doc Hero.

A vessel was once driven upon the
coast Of England. The sea was very
high, and there was no possible way to
put a boat or to rescue the men, who
could be seen cllnging to the wreck.
Presently gentleman came up with
a great Newfoundland dog. Pl0cing a
stick Of wood IN the dogs mouth, he
motioned toward the wreck.
The dog Immediately obeyed his mas
ter's command and swan bravely out
to sea. He found, however, that he
could not get near enough to deliver
the stick. While he was padding along
one OF the crew OF the doomed vessel
threw a rope to him.
Instantly the intelligent dog knew
what was required Of him. He let go
the piece Of wood. graspad the end OF
the rope IN his mouth and soon made
the shore. Thanks TO the noble ami
NAL. all were saved.

Of the American feet, now that the

are beginning to enjoy hospitality

changed and guns were booming all
day. Admiral Thomas returned the
visit of Admiral Simpson, head of
the Gillian navy offlcials, who came
here on the Chacabuco, to Admiral
Evans, and there were cordial greet
ings on both sides. The officers OF
the American feet have a desire to
call at Valparaiso, but this will be
impossible. Admiral Evans says he
will pass close enough to see and be
seen by the watchers on shore.
There is great enthusiasm here,
and a hearty desire on the part of
the residents to make the stay of
the Americans enjoyable. A ban
quet was given on the Chacabuco and
a ball has been arranged for tonight
at the residence of the American con-
sular agent, Moritz Braun. Rowing
competitions between the champions
of the vessels are being arranged.
1t has been reported that a Chill
can pilot was to pilot the vessels
through the strait, but 1t is announc-
ed that the officers of the ships are
the only pilots necessary.

tered occasional fogs and rains. On
the morning of the 31st Cape Virgin
