what can they-do among so many hun
dred poor by personal ininistration?
They administer to the needy as best
they can. but what arc a handful OF
women In great town like Richmond?
Where their personal Efforts and per-
sonal means fail. they teach others to
care for themselves. srhey go into the
homes and show ignorant women how
to nurse sick babies: they show young
girls how to make invalid mothers
comfortable; they preach gospel Of
good cheer and hope; they carry a
message of love and of sympathy.
Some of their good work is known.
Many man IS walking the streets to-
day whose life has been saved by their
instruction and care Many woman
has a home which was saved from the
ravas es of disease by their enlightened
advice. Many child is happily work
ing IN our schools, with a future before
hin, who was saved from desperate
naladies by their efforts.
But not even those who have worked
with these devoted women know the
half OF their good works. Indeed. the
whole will not be known, or valued, or
rewarded, until the Great Reckoning
of All Accounts. In the meantime,
though, by supporting these women.
by encouraging them. by giving them
our constant help, we people OF Rich

ministers in the grand old State Of

something out OF the ordinary, for the

HIRING BAcI\ TIE BIRDS.

All lovers OF nature will regret the
apparent unwillngness of the AS
sembly to strengthen our game laws
All who remember Virginia as it used
to be will regret that the Assembly
will not try 10 restore it. beyond the
provisions of the present laws and the
pending King bill. All who recall
the wild birds that filled our forests
and made musical our woods will la
ment the sentiment that prevents the
passage of a law that would bring
back the singers.
III old times our bird life was per-
hans as varied and as interesting as
any i'll America. From the little tom
tits that used to fit about the sand
hills along the coast to the larks that
scared over the Alleghanies and the
cranes that fed on the river banks,
Virginia had a glorious feathered
kingdom. The wild pigeons used to
fly over us in the spring; the hooking
birds used to sing in the laurel gladcs;
the robins could he heard In every
strip of woods about this time Of year.
IN every forest of the State there was
music and over every meadow there
was song.
II is different now. One may walk
for hours, even in the woods far dis
tant from the cities. and there will
be scarcely a sound, except the chat
tering of the English sparrows and the
occasional note of q nondescript little
bird that knows no melody. rhe pot
hunters have brought this sad silence
They have Killed the robins and have
driven off every Wild songblrd a

Twenty-Five colonies were born yes
terday. Twenty-Five proud eitizcns
ordered new stationery and wondered
how they could buy or rent horses
when they received the commissions
sent them by Adjutant- General Andcr-
son. Twenty five men, long and short.
tried 10 add cubit or#two to their
stature and bought themselves hats OF
new dimensions. Judge Mann bound to
himself by hoops or steel the twenty
five men whom he made his aids.
We announce these facts with no
trepidation or shame. To be sure.
supercilious men dwelling beyond this
chosen land will have their gibes at
the Old Dominion for adding twenty
five new titles to its long array. The
New York SUM- for example and that
wiscacre, the Springfield Republican,
will, of course. feel called upon to
deplorc the Southern. tendency to vest
men with military titles, and will
doubtless gambol in their stiff-knecd
fashion about the tableau Of our
TWENTY-FIVE new officers. We are
willing to undergo this without shame
and without an inward panG.
AS matter of fact we are glad
these commissions have gone out for
two reasons. III the first place, we
want the Louisville Courier-Journal
and the Atlanta Georgian to know
that here in Virginia we make only
twenty five new colonies a year. We
know that when the truth is thrust
home those sheets will blush as they
reflect how colonel is made every
day in the bluegrass country, and how
among the Georgia hills a new gen
eral appears with each rising sun.
We are glad that these men have
been appointed. because we want our
friends to know that the breed OF
| Virginia colonies is not extinct There
has been some misrepresentation on this
point, and the ignorant have been
led TO believe that the colonies who
sraced Virginia in olden days had
given way to the stock not so hearty
| in War or wise In counsel We chal-
| lenge all corners from every quarter
to produce twenty five full-fledged
colonels who. can compare with these
gallant troopers.

Just for your information, we would
say that Due West was formerly
known as Due West Corner. because
it WAS so situated in survey of land

the Aborisines some of tho tricks OF
