Criticism of Public Men.

No one who has given any candid attention to tho subject will question that the men in congress. at the head of the departments and on the bench, are as 0 whole more than fairly rep resentative of the average character and ability of the people. They are above the average or they would not as a rule be selected. Any one who has been brought into contact with them to any considerable extent knows that taken throughout they are a. body of upright, conscientious. patriotic, well meaning men, intending to do within limitations what they think best for the country.
 As a matter of fact, however those chosen are good representatives. but no sooner are they in their seats than a hue and cry of depreciation and criticism begins, against congress es- pecially. It is seen in the press, and especially in reform journals and mag azines the writers of whose articles one must suppose from their tone are so superior mentally and morally to the sugjects of their animadversions that they belong to a distinct and higher race. Were they but in the place of the miserable imcompetents. most of whose characters and motives are at least open to suspicion. how vastly better off the country would be. The same sort of thing is heard among business men who org ght to know bet ter, and really do. fc they stopped to think; it is also current in fashionable drawing rooms among their more it. less and ignorant habftues.-Cinoan- nati Enquirer.

Poor Bob White"

From many quarters come reports of the finding of quail coveys huddIed in fence corners and other poor shelt- CTS, frozen to death when weakened by lack of food. They have perished because the snow was too deep and lasted too long to enable them to find their usual winter sustenance. never more than meager. This is a result of severe weather which must sadden lovers of nature, for the plump, cheery little Bob White is one game bird that t1rives on mans cultivation of the soil and mans occupation of the country. The territory in which quail live. in North America, has widened greatly with the coming of the white mans blow and his grain fields.
 The forests never did appeal to the most popular of American game birds Quail shun the deep woods. They flourish in fields and orchards often close to the barns and houses of the farmers. The white mans way of us- ing the earth makes it easier for Bob White" to find food, and that is the vital question with birds. Heat and cold are secondary, if they can get enough to eat. Some farmers have taken pains to feed the quail on their premises in winter. They will be glad, all through the spring and summer and fall, when they hear and see the cheery little Abene6cfaries of their nesses-Cleveland Leader.
