Which Has ~, IN from Twelve
Liberated Ten Years Ago.

Concord, N. Hin the sparsely set
tied town Of Andover, reaching from
Ragged mountain on the north to
Kearsarge mountain on the south, is
the only herd of wild elk east Of the
Rocky mountains.
A party of Boston lawyers recently
visited Andover on snowshoeing trip.

tains and returned full Of enthusiasm
for the region as winter resort.
Leaving Boston at nine o'clock in the
morning. they left the train at noon at
Potter Place. the principal station In
the town of Andover After dinner
snowshoes were put on and the party
started up the south slope of Ragged
mountain over the property Of the
Ragged Mountain. Fish and Game club.
1t was on this property that herd of
IL elk was liberated about ten years
ago. 1t has now increased to the
number of SO.
The cottages Of the club members
are conspicuous on the southern slope
OF the mountain, occupying picturesque
sites. but most Of them are grouped
near Cold pond, a famous fishing pond
on the club property. Soon after the
pond was closed to public fishing some
one took revenge for his exclusion by
placing In the pond several pickerel.
These increased at marvellous rate.

practically extinct. The club then
rid the waters Of the lake Of all fish
and stocked 1t anew. until the fishing
Us once more excellent.
The Boston party were much disap-
pointed in not getting sight Of the
elk, but their tracks were everywhere
to be seen, ranging from the tracks
of small calves to the hoof prints OF
two-year-old heifers. Instead Of being
pointed, like deer tracks, these tracks
were blunt in front and nearly oblong.
1T was learned later that the herd had
taken up its quarters on neighbor-
tng farm, where they were feeding
contentedly on young orchards.
The owner of the farm has instruct.
ed his men to protect the property,
and reports are daily expected that
some Of the elk have been slaughtered.
AS elk are protected in New Hamp-
shire lfr thlrroughpnts the year. interesting
legal questions viii be raised If any OF
these elk areskilled. It IL said by land
owners that they haveR right to pro-
beet their property from depredations
OF wild animals. but how far this right
extends has never been determined In
New Hampshire. !.

Sweet Influence.

Is it not entertaining how to make
the best of ones powers, how to ar
range ones stores, how to exert a
sweet, quiet and fragrant influence
throughout life, over all whom one
meets? II an advanced education does
this for one, then it is the education
one should seek. Our difficulty is that
we cannot allow time enough for seed
time and harvest. Mothers are in de-
spair If daughters occasionally drop
out of school for six months or year
We are much too apt to insist on put
ting all our children, irrespective of
their natural bent, through the same
educational factory. We do not make
sufficient allowance for temperament
and tendency, and thus it comes to
pass that some of us carry burdens,
beneath the weight of which we are
crushed.

COYOTE HUNTING AUTO SPORT
Horseless Machine Is RevoIutlonizlna
Method Of Hunting Wild Game
In Kansas.

Topeka, Kan.-The automobile is
revolutionizing the method of hunting
wild game in western Kansas. No true
sportsman now starts on any kind Of
a hunt there without an auto. The
old way Of hunting from two.horse
spring wagon is too slow.
A wolf hunt under the new plan is
the most exciting of all. One man
runs the auto and another does the
shooting. A machine can run miles
and miles on the open prairie of the
west without coming in contact with a
fence or creek. WheA a wolf, or
coyote. as they are called, is scared
up the auto takes after him. A wolf
runs in an easy circle. He doesn't
dodge back and forth. So it is com
paratively easy for the driver to keep
right behind him. But the auto must
go some.
A coyote can knock of 30 miles an
hour with ease. A few days ago some
Garden City hunters ran down a coy
ote and killed him with the wheels.
This was considered a great hunting
feat. When hunters used to chase
coyotes on horses and with dogs there
was never record of where they drove
the coyotes to their dens. But it is
different with autos. Coyotes run until
they are about to be taken in and
then make for their dens. In order to
Smoke them out" the driver attaches
a rubber tube to the gas tank Of his
car and runs the other end down in
the hole. That soon brings the coyote
out. And the race is again resumed
until the animal is bagged.

Mexico Expert Studies American
Forecasts to Improve System.
Work in That Country Particularly
Difficult Owing to the Peculiar
4! Typographical Features
Of Country.

Washing ngton.-Mexico Is seeking to
improve its weather bureau service
by studying methods in use in the
United States. The Mexican experts
work Is particularly hard, owing to the
peculiar Typographical features of the
country.
In Mexico there are three mountain
chains running parallel to the coasts.
Along the western border lie the Pa
cific coast mountains, link between
the great Rocky mountain and the
Andes, while along the eastern coast
lie the gulf mountains. Stretching be-
tween Is the central plateau, the aver
age height of which is 1000 feet. Since
these ranges modify greatly the high
and low pressure and the course of
storms which drift over the country,
the problem Of forecasting plainly be-
comes complex.
The Mexican government has sent
Sencr V. Castaneda to observe the
systems in the United States and
Canada.
Senor Castaneda came to the Uni
ted States some ten months ago. He
first visited the weather bureau in
New York, where he remained for sew
eral weeks. Thnce he proceeded to
Canada, where he visited the stations
at Montreal and Toronto.
Recently he went to Boston and will
remain there three or four weeks be-
fore going to Baltimore, where he will
have conference with Prof Ahbe,
one of the Oldest men in the weather
bureau service and really the founder
OF the system. Senor Castaneda ex-
poets to profit greatly under his able
tutelage, and, with the conclusions he
has drawn from observations of fore
casting methods. believes he will be
able to recommend some definite plans
to his government.
The Mexican government has been
forecasting. weather sssfors about : ave
years, and during that time has en-
ployed largely what is known as the
mimeograph process More recently
It adopted the chalk plate process,
which ts far more practical and mex
pensive than the former, and is the
method generally in use throughout
the United States.

cladstone's Memory.

Gladstone's power of memory was
always one of his greatest assets. In
his last years he often lamented that
1t was not what it had been; but even
SO, it came triumphantly out Of some
remarkable tests. In his eighty-third
year he set himself to recall Manzoni's
ode on the death of Napoleon, which,
as a young man, he had translated
into English. He had entirely forgot.

hard digging or fishing up" as he
called it, he wrote down 104 Of the
1O8 italian lines. Two years later he
essayed to write from memory a COM

his cabinet colleagues. and enumes-
ated 60 Of the 20.

in the selection OF the cast. The piece

To those who witnessed the play
on its presentation In the Lyceum last
season, the most notable change In
the cast Is In the role of Hilda Nc
lavish, daughter OF the brutal old
Scotch settler, who Is the only wo-
man in the company. IL Is In the
hands OF Miss Mildred Hyland this
year and her work shows marked
Improvement over that OF the young
woman previously seen here in that
part. She reads her lines we'll and
shows much ability In the stronger
scenes. The Jules Beaubien OF the
cast is +. Fernandez, who, several
seasons ago, was the Mexican In AR
iona" He has a good command OF the
French Canadian dialect the role calls
for and has a pleasing personality,
two things quite essential TO the sue
cess OF the role. Mr.. Fernandez,
moreover, can act.
The other parts are taken In a
creditable manner without exception.

But complete satisfaction comes only
when, after the fight In the dark that

splendidly executed.

TWO CLERICS wHACK EDISON
FOR VIEWS ON RELIGION
Pastors Fixes and Barley Declare In

"Thomas A. Edison is dear old
man, but he is in his second child
hood" was the Rev. Maurice p. Fixes
charitable summing up OF "the wizard"
after delivering a series or resound-
fng whacks at the great inventor for
his recently expressed religious views,
IN q sermon, Sunday evening, In the
Woodward Baptist chrch.
II would not take up the subject at
AN were II not for the widespread
}pnblicity given Mr.. Edison's utterances
and his influence over many" said Mr..
Fixes. MIR. Edison is quoted as de-
CLEARING that there is no such thing as
creature, and everything in this and
soul; no future life for any living
any other world as far as his deduc-
Ptions are concerned is material; and
no such thing as thought
In an able way, Mr.. Fixes went on
to prove by citations of fact in sci
ence, philosophy and religion that Mr..
Edison hasn't leg to stand on in mis-
contentious.
The same subject was taken up by
the Rev. j. Nj. Barkley. in the Forest
Ave. Presbyterian church, Sunday
morning, who also argued down" the
great inventor on his own ground.

logan his religion limps as does his
PHILOSOPHY as the traditional fish out

that the !; ,lden rule is "A practical
imposition but he does not follow the

Rep. Tawney Renews laIk
For an Extra Session

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.--The talk OF
an extra session" OF congress was re-
newed today when Rep. Tawney, IRE
publican, Minnesota), chairman OF the
house appropriations committee, de-
clared that he considered ii almost
necessary. Tawney was defeated in
the primaries this fall. and his state
ment today reflects his bitterness to-
ward the insurgents.
1T is doubtful whether even the
regular appropriation bills can be
passed at the session opening today
declared Tawney.
"All that | can say is that at least
forty-five days will be needed for the
passage OF these bills. They cannot
possibly be disposed OF under that
time.
1T must be remembered that there
are about sixty actual working days
for the present short session. with
all the days set aside for special busi-
ness, such as Calendar "wednesday and
Committee Friday, and District day
and Pension day, | do not see where
we are going to find the necessary
forty-fve days for the regular appro-
priation bills"
Tawney blames this situation on he
new house rules which the insurgents
forced through last session.
This Is what the new ruIes of the
house have done for legislation, he
said THE days set aside COR special
business must be used for that pur-
pose. Very few days are left for the
actual passing of legislation. think
all members of congress, when they
think the matter over, will agree that
the extra session is not as improbable
as all seem now to agree

which silly urls have lain awake

Miss Brandt, as Lena Rivers, gives
a good representation OF sweet and
unaffected young girl, forced to bear
a series OF troubles, with the temper
airy loss of her lover and distrust by
her grandl. other as the climax. Her
charming girlishness won the audi
