that two plume hunters were at work
near McClellanville. shooting the
herons in order to obtain their plumes

that poachers were at the preserves
Of the Sar,tee Gun Club, the only COL

exist north Of Florida. hence the birds
are afforded the strictest protection
by the culb authorities. Warden
Beckman. desiring to apprehend these
hunters. summoned two men to aid
him, and went to the scene Of trouble.
though he did not catch the men, his
two assistants saw them shooting and

Must Be One or the Other.

The Commoner says Senator Elk
ms has invented a new phrase which
is likely to be used quite frequently
In the next campaign. He applies
the name spotted protectionists" to
those who want a high tariff on
things sold by their constituents and
low tariff on things bought by their
constituents. His criticism is en-
tirely justifed-a man who wants
protection must give protection. II
can not be one-sided. The Spotted
protectionist" is as inconsistent as the
spotted tariff reformer." The spots
are, as In the case Of deer, sign OF
youth. They will come off after q
while. man must be all protec-
ton or all reformer--he cannot be
hsslf and half. If the South Carroll
ne. Congressman votes to protect
lumber because some Of it is pro-
duced In his State, he can't consistly
refuse to vote to protect the products
of other States. To be consistent, he
must vote 10 protect the wool grow
er' the sugar cane growers, and all
other interests that may want pro-
lection. After all these interests are
protected they plumber the people of
Solth Carolina out of millions of dol
lars, while the tax on lumber does

timber in the South is owned by the

Women and Enthusiasms.

sade Is often useful are ways and
works OF the quiet-voiced unknown
women. May their days be long in
the land. These women go softly all
their years, and only the census-tax-

virtues OF the simple woman who is
able to be glad when q new book by
Kipling is brought home. to find a
keen pleasure in an afternoons troll

go miles to hear q new lecturer,

momentarily attractive in the atti-

tasted of 50 much experience as to
be slightly tired and always aware
OF the next move. But live with one

CALUMET GIRL SEEKS LOST
SISTER IN DETROIT, MICH
Waits in the Detroit Postoffice for
Younger Sister Who Vanished From
Parents Home at Lucknow, Ont
Letters Received Indicate That She
is in Detroit.

Sitting on a chair in the west wing
OF the main floor OF the postoffice Miss
Catherine Mckay of Calumet Mich,
took up a unique vigil Wednesday
morning. says the Detroit Journal.
Throughout the day. until . o'clock at
night, she sat there. Thursday morn
ing she resumed the watch and was
still on guard at noon. She is looking
for her missing sister, Miss Sarah Nc
Kay, 20. who is said to have run away
from her home on a farm near Luck
now. ont, five weeks ago. Friends i'm
Lucknow received letters from her, in
dicating she was in Detroit. There
are now three letters for her at the
general delivery i'm the Detroit post
office and Miss Catherine is in hopes |
Of nabbing her when she calls for her |
mail.
Miss Catherine, who is a boolxkeeper.
and slightly older than Miss Sarah.
came to Detroit last Sunday from Call
umet to investigate the disappearance.
She found no trace of her and then
notified the police. Later she went to
her parents home. near Lucknow. and
got particulars Of Sarahs absence.
She determined to do her own detec-
tive work and Assistant Postmaster
Swan gave her permission to sit in the :
corridor as long as she liked. ;
''Tll stay here all today and tomor- {
row." said Miss Catherine Thursday
il I don't get any trace of
Sarah before then. l am pretty sure {
she will come for her letters. If she I
does l shall approach her in gentle i
manner and inquire into her conduct. \
If I find she had any just reason for t
leaving homo and is doing what's
light in Detroit then I shall not inter =
ere in her plans. She was a good 7
girl at home and I can't understand o
Why she ran away There was no love a
flair about it; at least, there was o
iothing Of the kind we know of. Sar-
