TOUCH UP THE LOCAL VAeRANT.

Naming no names" a weekly paper
in northern Iowa town tells OF a
young mans arrest for vagrancy. He
Is the son of washerwoman and lived
on his mothers labor. Some one had
him arrested as a vagrant, perhaps
with a view to soaring him into some
sembIance Of manhood. The justice
gave him a lecture and discharged
him.
II will not do him good. The young
man who is willing to loaf and eat on
his mothers wash wage needs some
thing stronger than lecture. He needs
hurting. He Will not be of any real use
on earth until he IS hurt and hurt
hard. He will hang around the pool
halls. beg -the nnakins," and eat and
sleep at home so long as his mother is
able to earn wages unless he Is hurt.
And yet II he had the right handling
him.
There are hundreds of s,1ch feIlows
crawling around ashamed to look de-
cent men in the face subsisting on the
hard work Of mothers or fathers, it
doesn't matter much which. When
they grow older they will steal AS
they learn boldness they will "frisk''
drunken men In dark alleys. Some of
them Will land in the penitentlaries, af-
ter having developed into yeggs;
others viii tramp and know the inside
Of half the jails.
The maternal tenderness and pater-
nal idiocy which permits a boy to be-
como . loafer Is worse only than the
indifference Of the public which neg
lects children and builds scaffods and
penitentiaries and jails for men. We

"The whole truth Is, there Is abso-

Yet, despite all this. San Francisco
is not more wicked than eastern cities;

been said, which Is brutality frank to-
ward all pretension and pose, whether
in religion or anything else. Not that
the church out here is pretentious in
any arrogant and vulgar sense. but
that the west somehow Is quick to de-
tect any obsolete method and insipid
dogma. Expediency is not in its phi

season OF the year, now, Q single small
flock attracts general attention
flock OF q couple Of dozen wild geese
will stop traffic on the street until the
/ geese are out OF sight. Hunters that
80 out all day and get q small bag OF
the fowl are thu exception. 1t strikes
US that there should be . closed season
on water fowl In the spring. They are
winging their way to the breeding
grounds in the north. A hen duck KILL
ed in the spring means the loss OF a
dozen or so young ducks in the fall.
II the season was closed in the spring
there would soon be splendid hunting
every fall and the time of the open
season could be heightened in the
autumn to make up for the time closed
in the spring.
Then too, the hunters are not par
ticular what they shoot. A few days
ago we heard of q hunter that killed
a couple of blue heron along the river
near town. We would like to hear his
! excuse for slaughtering the beautiful
and stately birds. They are rarity
here and they are not killed for food.
The carcasses are simply showed about
as a trophy Of the good craftsmanship
of the shooter and then thrown away
to rot.
A year ago last summer we camped
on the bank of the river few miles
above town. A pair OF heron We're ev-
cry day visitors in the vicinity. They
flew leisurely UP and down the river
past the camp or alighted on the sand
bars and waded about in sight OF all
Of US. They lad learned that we
would not harm them and they were
not much afraid. They we're always
objects Of interest to all of the COM
pany. Then one day some good-for-

and not seeing anything else worth his

our fine blue heros. We afterwards
saw the remains on exhibition in a
market window in town, where they
laid in state until they began to smell

peared.
The same thing happens to many of
the rarer birds. especially of the water
fowl variety. They are slaughtered
without cause or regard TOR the sur
vival Of the species. The killing Of such
birds should be punisha BILE misde-
meanor and the spring season for
water fowl should be a closed one to
hunters. Let the birds live to propo-
gate the young and soon the streams
will again be pIentifully supplied with
ducks and geese. The prairie chicken
Is a thing OF the past. At the present
rate the ducks and geese will soon be
rare birds of passa ge.

A FAVOR FROM THE GODS.
TOdoho1f Cbrnnio1o1


To be permitted to live in an agricul-
tural community is to be favored by
the Gods. On all sides are the things
of nature and he would be spirit sad
~ lacking in the finer sensibilities who
did not appreciate and love the grow
ing things about him. Now that spring
has come and all plant life is budding
forth in Its newness and beauty we
should not need to look far to see a
lesson Of advantage to all Of US; to
throw off the lethargy Of winter; to
surround ourselves with new thoughts
and new ideals, but most Of all to grow
intellectually, morally and CONNER
cially. To be student and lover OF
nature Is to tend to love Of good lit
erature and to high ideals of citizen
ship; to wish to broaden out and to
avoid dragging our thinking into a rut
and the conduct of our business with
it-that is the lesson of spring.

MONEY OR MEN.

A great deal has been done to get
the money back to Iowa. but nothing
to get the young men. Yet the Iowa
money that has gone west, with its old
and wealthy owners. is Of little loss to

amount Of money that has gone with
the young men into the western states.
1t Is men, and not money, that make

the old gentleman took the baby while
the child slowly climbed down, as
sisted by her mother and Bonnie.
MY, my!" exclaimed Miss Selma
Lue. Looks like when you git 'em
all together this Bluff is rich in chill
dren. Who's going to take Blossom?
Everybody have got a armful and
more" And she was just about to de-
posit Carrots on the steps when she
exclaimed: Lands alive, If here amt
Miss Cynthie in the nick of time
Give Blossom to her please, mister"
And Sc it was into a pair of very
lovely arms that the old gentleman
lowered the gurgly baby, and he had
a look into beautiful and very deep
blue eyes; and with the look some
thing welled up and overfowed a GER
tain arid and anger-wasted area in his
large old heart, and in the twinkling
of his keen, dark eyes the waters of
forgiveness had made it TO bloom with
its accustomed flowers of good cheer,
generosity, and the star-bloom Of
peace. His journey for the purpose Of
determinations became one of discov-
cry of treasures long possessed but
unacknowledged-an others to be
possessed.
It was at this auspicious moment,
as the mothers were all absorbed IN
questioning, in listening 20 the chill
dren and exclaiming over the wonders
of the expedition with Miss Selma
Lue. that Mr.. Alan stepped from
around the corner Of the grocery and
stood at the side of the "ottermobile"
before he knew of its presence. And
before he had time to do or say any
thing the old gentleman reached down
and gave him a tremendous squeeze
directly before the astonished gaze
of Miss Cynthia and Blossom. Then
he went to still greater lengths. for
he hoped down as nimbly as Bonnie
could have done right between Miss
CYNTHIA and Mr.. Alan and gave them
both a tremendous squeeze, Blossom
included. And all the time never a
word passed between them, only Mr..
Alan's q es were very bright and his
hand trembled so that Miss Cynthia
took It in her free one and Blossom
caught his sleeve.
Well" said Miss Selma Lue, well!
I oughtn't to ever pray keerless, for
the Lord shure listens to mel Mr..
Kent, ougnter have knowed you By
the eyes Of faith. All Of you come
