who KILLED the Ducks7

Farmers have certain grievances
against aE.oists for which they arc not
to blame for kicking. and kicking mighty
hard One is the killing Of fowls as
the auto passes their residences, which
is frequently done, and without any re-
eompense to the farmer whatever. To
be sure, these fowls infest the high
way, especially near night, and a Mltle
caution IS needed to avoid killing them
at times; but too frequently the autoist
seems to take delight in dashing through
a flock OF hens and then leaving it to
the farmers to gather up the remains
We saw a case Of this coming home
from WilIoughy Lake last Sunday. and
Fit Is fortunate for the parties that we
did not know them or the number of
their car Wantonly, and with no ex-
cuse whatever, they run over and killed
two large ducks and sped on. leaving
them dead In the road An autoist who
will do this IS sneak whoever he may
be- high or low, rich or poor. There
may be cases when a fowl may dart I'M
der machine and be killed; but how
much real cash would it take to settle
for one Of these fowls, and leave the
farmer in an amiable MOODY Even
poor mann could settle for a hen, or even
"a duck and still continue to survive
III would be more gentlemanly on his
part to settle whether to blame or not
We only hope the farmer who lost the
ducks will locate the parties and give
them their just deserts. Newport Elk.

From Burlington comes the mournful
information that, instead Of making
progress in population, Vermont has
been going backward, not only back
ward, but showing decided decrease
compared with the figures 81 the proceed
ing census. The information comes in
the form Of newspaper dispatch, and,
being dated from Burlington, the home
OF the census supervisor, u. NJ. Hays, it
demands a certain measure Of recogni-
ton. However, the dispatch does not
quote supervisor Hays ana, In fact,
claims no connection with his Office.
Therefore, the correctness Of the in
formation is in doubt. The announce
ment, with all its vagueness, is as fol-
lows
Burlington, VT, Aug. 25. The forth
coming announcement Of the state cen
sus will show a decided decrease in the
population of Vermont as compared with
the returns of the preceding enumera-
ton. 1t is learned that only two or
three towns in the state have increased
in population in the last decade, and
that startling losses have been suffered
BY the small towns.

ton may cause decrease Of one mem

past decade, a condition which has tend

and women who seek employment in
cities and large towns in other states.
There has been no increase of popula-
ton to speak OF through immigration,
and the birth rate has not held its own.
Vermont, It is stated, win be the only
state in the union to show decrease in
population

New Or,eans-the city would simply
have to be rebuilt
There is another excellent reason why
San Francisco should have the Fair Its
people are more devoted to amusement
than any community in America 1t is
also city noted for its enterprise energy
and originally in business way
San Francisco is unique among Ameri-
can cities in that it will support grand
opera continuously. Its individuality is
further expressed in the innumerable
quaint restaurants of its foreign quarters
where artists and musicians resort and
where one can get the most delicious
thing at prices that seem astonishingly
low to the average American. Every big
restaurants and every big hotel feels an
obligation to provide its patrons with the
most lavish features of amusements: and
the San Franciscan who sits down to sup
per and does not see beautiful Spanish
dance, hear trio of grand opera singers
enjoy lot Of clever comedy, feels that he
has been robbed.
The one thing that could be urged in
favor of New Orleans is the charm of her
people. Yet San Francisco possesses. in
addition to natural attractions and practi-
cal equipment, temperamental character
far more interesting than that of the
southern CITY, In what other metropolis,
for example, except that of the great
West, will one find the principle clubs
devoting their chief efforts to important
achievements in art and music, like the
annual jinks Of the Bohemian Club in the
forests of the Russian River, or the Flight
of the Stork that inspires the artists and
musicians of the Family Club.
When we add the fact that during the
summer months, when practically all the
people of the nation have their vacations,
the climate of San Francisco is usaIly
cooler than at any other time of the year,
that absence of rain or storms during the
period of the Fair can be absolutely guar
antced by the Weatner bureau, We must
concede that this city is pre- eminently the
most desirable Fair site that could be
found.
No. New Orleans is not the place for
the Exposition. Even if she possessed
natural advantages equal to those of San
Francisco, her lack of facilities alone
would make it impossible for her to hold
a World air that would be success
or worthy of the achievement which the
Panama-Paci6c Exposition is designed
to signalize.
