BALANCE OF NATURE.
/ Destruction of Certain Animals Is
Soon Repented.


Soon Repented.
1t seems that the grounding is I'M
der the ban in Illinois. A bounty has
been put upon the head of the animal
that on Candlemas Day each year
tells us whether winter is to pass or
to linger Col Watterson of the
Louisville Courier-Journal comes to
the defense of the grounding. He
bespeaks consideration for it in the
name of Kentucky. He might bespeak
consideration for it in the name of
humanity.
The grounding of Illinois and the
West generally is the woodchuck Of
the Eastern States. 1t is charged
against him that in digging his home
he throws gravei up over the surface
Of the ground to an extent that in
jures the farmers prospects of rails
ing crops. The grounding is also &C
cused Of being a prowler in the veget-
able garden, and it is said that the
early cabbage that should go to the
farmers table is sacrificed to the ap-
petite of the unbidden guest in the
field.
We hold no brief for the ground
hog, but it is pretty well known that
nature keeps the balance Of things
even. Not many years ago the Penn
sylvania Legislature passed a law
giving a bounty to every man who
killed a hawk. The thought of the
legislators was that if the hawks
were killed the poultry industry Of
the state would thrive threefold. The
price put on the head of the red
shouldered, the red tailed and the
broad winged hawks resulted in
thinning of the ranks of the preda-
tory bird family and in the depletion
of the treasures of most of the coun-
ties of the Keystone State.
After Pennsylvania had spent $780,.
900 in payment for hawk scalps the
farmers of the State suddenly found
out that the rats and the squirrels
were eating up their crops unchecked.
They tried to stem the tide of de.
struction but failed, and then they
called on the lawmakers to make life
possible again for the hawks. The
red shouldered, the red tailed and tho
broad winged birds had lived mainly
on the animals that were preying on
the crops of the agriculturist The
farmer found it out little late, but
he found it out in time to save the
hawk family in Pennsylvania from ex-
tinction
Out in Kansas few years ago the
Western redtailed hawk was abund-
ant. About once every six months
the readtail would pick up a chicken
and the act aroused the owner of the
chicken to anger. The lawmakers of
Kansas declared the redtail an outlaw
and put price on his head. There
were so many red tailed hawks killed
that the count was lost. Coincident
with the killing of the birds the
plague of prairie dogs increased and
menaced the very means of livelihood
of the majority Of the Kansas dwell
lers. They called on the Biological
Survey of Washington to help them
out of their trouble. The scientists
sent this prescriptions: Repeal the
law placing bounty on hawks. This
was done, and since that time nature
has kept the balance even.
All this perhaps has comparatively
little to do with the grounding of
Illinois, but it may be said that the

A GIANT AT PLAY

MO more remarkable figure
IN has ever been in the United
States than Leo Slezak, who is
acknowledged to be the greatest
dramatic tenor that has come
from the music laden hooks of
Southern Europe since Tam
agno. Fully seven feet in height.
and with his huge frame fairly
radiating gentleness and quiet
good nature, an unusual thing
in big men, Slezak is tasting
the enjoyment of success COM
mensurate with his build: for
he is as great in art as he is IN
size.
Only a few years ago Slezak
was struggling not for fame. for
he never dreamt of that, but to
make both ends meet. and in
this praiseworthy effort he had
the able and faithful assistance
of a charming young bride.
Those days were full of little
incidents which at the time were
looked upon as necessary evils
of a struggling existence or the
sunny sidelights of an otherwise
monotonous contest with Fate.
To-day these incidents are
looked back upon as the hap
piest moments of the singers
early married life. and Slezak
has recounted his delightful
little anecdotes in his own
naive way:

HARD SCRIMMAGE
Second Team Tries Lehigh's
Style of Play.

What viii be the last scrimmage Of
the season was held on Georgetown Field
yesterday afternoon. and tho two OF more
hours work was characterized by snap
and vim that has not Zen equaled since
the strenuous workout of two weeks ago,
wien the Hilltoppers were undergoing
the crucial test of preparing for Virginia.
Nearly three teams were on hand. the
squad being one of the largest for some
weeks; all hands buekling down with a
determination of defeating Lehigh on
Thanksgiving Day
Coach Nielsen took charge or the sec
Ohd eleven, having drilled them during
the past two days in Lehigh's style Of
play and trick formations These were
used against the varsity in the serim-
mage. and although they worked welkan
some instances, the regulars often smash
ed things up before they were well
started.
Dunn was used during the whole after
moons practice and showed that he has
lost none OF his old-time speed by his
recent injury. Carrigan was in the other
half. while Furey was kept out Of any
hard work. owing to a slight injury.
This fast little player will be in good
condition for Thursday, and the West End
aggregation are placing much OF their
hopes on him. Walsh's lame ankle VIII
no doubt keep him from playing a full
game against Lehigh. but he will be a
good man to put in at a crucial moment.
The game on Thursday will be the
hardest on the Hilitoppers' schedule.
Coach Nielsen and Capt. Daley have
instilled into the players new energy.
and they have all realized that they must
win against their adversaries on Thurs
day.
A meeting will be held among the stu
dents this evening TO get together the
cheering section and give the players
ali the support possible. Manager Joliat
expects a crowd nearly as large as that
which witnessed the Virginia game.
