IDLE MEN SPURN 40 JOBS
Offer of S1.75 a Day to Pick Apples Rejected by James Eads

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 1.-There is no unemployed problem to cope with here, if the meeting that James Eads How called for idle workmen can be taken as a criterion.
 Twenty men answered How's call to discuss the problem and see about getting work for them. Before the meeting had fairly begun, however, an apple grower entered the room and said he could use 40 men right away, give them $1.75 a day and guarantee two months work for them.

Hard to Please.

<tT TNCLE NED was a remnant of the
- old plantation days. Still faithful
to the family he had been reared by, he
had seen more than one generation come
and go. And now the youngest member
of the family was Miss Liz BETH who,
though holding that place, was older
than most of her forebears whom I'm
Gle Ned had seen married. The old
man could not accustom himself to the
new idea of a womans passing twenty
and even twenty-five without entering
that stage known by old naiddom. and,
being an outspoken old darby. he did not
hesitate to speak his mind.
Miss BETH he said one morning.
why dom you git married, chill. Hit
certainly am time. Now. there's Marse
Henry; he's a nice young man."
But Uncle Ned" protested the young
lady, Mr.. Henry-Mr. Henry-oh,
don't like him; he's too stuck up
He sure is a nice gent'man.
NO" came the positive rejoinder. "Mr.
Tom and I are not suited at all. He is
out Of the question"
The old man continued to cross-ex-
anime his young mistress for several
minutes and always with the same lack
of success. This one had blue eyes, the
other was too old. some were too fat:
but one and all did not meet with the
requirements. Finally the old man
scratched his head slowly and. looking
at his mistress intently, relieved his mind
as follows:
Miss Liz'beth. the trouble with you
is youse too choositive, you'se too

now held in check by the birds, the vegetation
creatures would be destroyed by the insect
enemies. So it would seem that II this French
scientist is right, that in making their fight
for the birds the defenders have been making
their fight for man, a fact which Is not ap-
p~reciated by. some of those who would suffer
were 1t not for the constant saving efforts OF
men whom on occasion they have seen fit to
call cranks.
To lead up to the establishment Of the Au-
dubon societies, of which nearly every state
In the Union has one, 1t might be said that 1t
was not until the year 1888 that the public IN
the United States awakened to the fact that
too many wild birds were being slaughtered,
largely for millinery ornaments and other dec
orative purposes. In addition, thousands OF
song and insectivorous birds were killed annu-
ally for food. In his story Of the movement
for bird protection President butcher told Of
the beginnings Of the crusade to save the
lives of the songsters which year by year were
coming back to the farm and the garden in
greatly decreased numbers Mr.. butcher said,
speaking of the condition in 1888:
'The newspapers published items almost
daily on the subject, and many strong edito-
rails were written. A quotation from one Of
these entitled The Sacrifices of Song Birds

spect to the situation: The destruction of
American wild birds for millinery purposes
has assumed stupendous proportions. The un-
holy work gives employment to a vast army
Of men and women and this army wages its
campaign Of destruction with a diabolical per-
lection OF system
1.-THE editorial in question further refers
to details of the work published in other col
umns of the paper, which furnishes evidence
of the CHASTITY character Of the business. The
logical result of this newspaper agitation was
that the American Ornithologists' union at It's
annual meeting held in New York city Sep
TENDER 80, 1884, appointed a committee of Its
members to investigate the extent Of the al
legged wild bird destruction and to devise
means to stop the slaughter by legal or any
other legitimate method.
This committee found that the claims Of
the press and of individuals were not in the
least exaggerated, but on the other hand did
not fully represent the terrible inroadS that
were being made on the non-game birds.

AS William butcher says further IN MS
story of the protective movement:
I'm recognition Of the action taken by the
American Ornithologists' union in securing the
apprcpriation, the secretary OF agriculture IN
yited the council of the union to select a SUI
perintendent to carry on the work and at d
subsequent meeting held In Washington Dr'
Clinton Hart Merriam was selected as the su'
perintendent and DR.. Albert X. Flsner as his
assistant. Both Of these noted ornltnoloslsts
we're among the founders Of the American Or
nithologists' union"
It was from tnis humble beginning that the
present biological survey, a division or the
limited States department Of agriculture, has
grown. IL Is pelISClly aPPaiSh AN
tiers which agriculturists send to Washington
constantly that the work Of the biological sur
vey has its value appreciated more and more
every year. The survey has published a great
mass of valuable statistics of the food habits
of birds and their relation to agriculture and
forestry.
AS has been said, there are Audubon soci-
cites for bird protection in nearly every state
in the Union. They are affiliated in one great
society called the National Association OF Au-
dubon societies. The writer of this article
from personal knowledge can speak OF the be-
ginnings. of one of the largest and most ac-
tive of the state organizations.
Persons who were known to be Interested in
birds were asked to meet to form a protective
organization. A good many persons not par
ticularly interested In bird protection also
we're invited. Several women came to that
first meeting, wearing the plumage Of wild
birds in their hats. At first the society In
tended to do its work by persuasive mission
airy efforts, and along this line to a consider
able extent the endeavor has been ever since,

culture Of the United States government. The
biological survey has been Of great service 10
the farmers Of the United States and to all
men engaged either directly or indirectly IN
any form Of agricultural pursuits. When the
survey was threatened with extinction a few
years ago by the apparent intention OF con-
gress to refuse it an appropriation, the farm
ers Of the United States with the bird pro-
tectors and the real sportsmen, rose in its de-
tense and saved 1t. The survey probably will
be spared to continue its useful work as long
as the agricultural department has existence.
The history of bird protection in the United
States naturally and of right, is connected with
the history of two organizations, the various
state Audubon societies for the protection OF
wild birds, and the American Ornithologists
union. Recently William butcher OF New
York, who is the president Of the National AS
sociation of Audubon societies and a fellow OF
the American Ornithologists' union. told the
ornithologists Of the world assembled In con-
vention in a European city the story OF the

which to make speeches. It is next to

the chamber, and affords an opportu'

At least a dozen senators, accord
