THE CRUELTY OF A FASHION

Says the Technical World:
 "High above the marshy wastes which
 border the Klamath Lakes in southern Ore
 gOn lone white heron winged it's desolate
 flight month ago, the sole survivor of once numerous family.
 But one is left according to the of ficials of the United States land office and
 of the national association of Audubon so-
 cieties but one white sample remaining of
 myriad thousands of one of the most beau
 tful of all native birds; the decree of fash
 ion having brought about such butchery
 that biological historians will in future
 works record the fact that A. D. 1908 the
 white heron followed the great auk over the
 dismal trail that stretches backward to the
 ages that are gone"
 This item calls to mind the recent order of Collector Loeb, of the port of New York that some $500 worth of confscated aigrets be burned rather than auctioned because traffic in them has been specifically prohibted-the pro hbition bein imposed in order, if possible, to ward off the utter exterminaton of the beaut- full southern heron upon which they grew
 It would seem that the bare recital of few facts in connection with this agret fashion WOuiQ Sluucc tO luIU dHN WOIUdI Ol ldluGdl Ill., stncts against it forever The particular her on from which the aigret comes-the egret-- bears this plumage only during the breeding season and while it is rearing its young. Often the killing of one mother means the starvation of nest full of young. The maternal instinct latent or fully developed in every normal fe- male creature-surely should prompt instant rebellion against any decree of fashion that n- wolves cruelty so pronounced and unfeeing.
 It does not lie in the mouth of civilized man to revile the savage who wears a scalp lock at lis belt, when in his own household there are women who decorate their hats with feathers pucked from mother birds-beautiful, harm less things-e engaged at the moment of their destruction in propagating their kind and mak- ing more attractive the land of their erstwhiIe abundant existence Whatever the vanities of womankind, seldom indeed are they strong enough to overcome and smother her mother love. If she but stops to think what the aigret fashion means. she would not be guilty of as. sisting in it's popuarity-not for all the worlds. We think we are on solid ground in assuming as much. The maternal instinct is the one womanly attribute that never never fails to re- spond when appealed to.

 MT. Otis Stevens is bewailing the l loss of his watch, which was stolen from him at Madison last Friday afternoon. Otis was doing some work on his launch, and had left his coat and vest in raising boat which was moored some four or five feet from 1 the bank, while he went up to the box factory. When he returned the vest had been fished out of the boat, long pole being used for the purpose and was lying on the bank, and the watch and three dollars in money was missing. The watch was an open face, silverine case, stem wind, lever set, G. NJ. Wheeler Elgin movement. about an Is size. with fob attached.
