THOUSANDS TO SAVE THE birds.

Mrs. Russell Sage has given much to
charity since her husband left her a
fortune. and her benefactions have not
always pleased those who think that
the establishment OF Il library or tho
endowment of a college Is the chief
end of the man who dies rich. 1t is
more than likely that Mrs. Sage's gift
of $4,000 10 the southern Audubon
Societies, which was announced Sat
urday, will draw forth the ridicule of
these critics and will be regarded as
a waste of money.
AS matter of fact, Mrs. Sage's gift
for the saving of the birds. IL prop
crly applied. will be of genuine SER
vice TO the people of the South. Thirty
years ago our woods, our parks and
our fields were filled with birds. They
sang from sunrise till the moon set,
and their songs brought JOY to the
hearts of thousands. The coming Of
the sparrow and OF that other pest,
the pot hunter, have Hade our forests
mute The Audubon societies, by in
Producing new game legislation and
by arousing public sentiment are doing
much to bring back the birds. and IL
they have funds with which to pros
ecute their work the friends of the
birds may hope in the future TO hear
the mockngbird trill once more in the
moonlight and to hear the lark at
dawn.

reform when he finishes his present
sentence, he intimates strongly that a
man had better be sent to Jail in this
country than to Jail anywhere else, He

This frank confession should re-
ceivc the attention OF all those inter-
csted in prison reform We should, of
course, be anxious in this country TO
give prisoners humane treatment and
not to keep them as NANCY dogs In a
filthy kennel, but we should avoid the

our prisons so comfortable that the

fer to remain in them rather than to

comes comfortable, the reformation
