REPLACING GAME BIRDS.

Those commOnwealths which are act i've ir. the work of protection and propagation of game birds have grown to realize that something must be done to replace quail. prairie chickens and other native birds, said Wallace Evans of Oak Park. III. who is at the New Ebbitt. in speaking of game. Iowa IS now stocking it's wild regions with pheasants. and Indiana and Oklahoma also have realized the qualities of the pheasant and now welcome it as an inn migrant
 The pheasant makes huntsmans paradise. In England it is slain m numbers which would he considered slaughter in this country. A single days bag of many hundreds is common. Immense killing has been going on for years-to such an extent indeed that 1t would arouse the protests or Amerf- cans if inflicted on our own native game. But there are more pheasants i'm England now than there were twen- ty-five years ago. and the number IS always increasing Thickly settled country regions are found habtable by this valuable bird Iowa and a few other states realize this now, and their game commissioners are particularly active in settling the country with pheasants in abundance.

year or two these predictions bid fair to be realized, but since then the traffic of the canal has increased rapidly, and it is now one of the most profitable artificial waterways. By its means cotton loaded on ship board at New Orleans reaches the British mills at Manchester direct without any necessity for reshipment
 In 1894, the first year the canal was open for traffic. the total tonnage handled was 925,659 tons, and the canal receipts from tolls were e97,- 901 During 1910, or seventeen years afterward, the tonnage handled had grown to 4,937, ,631 tons, and the re-

with a population among whom prac- tically half of the adult males would be in a rebellious frame of mind-cry- ing out in no uncertain terms against the infringement of their sacred per sOnal liberties
 Add that the heads of families az gregating probably not less than three million people would suddenly be de- prived of their sole means of liveIi- hood. and that properties valued in the aggregate at perhaps two billion dollars would as suddenly become worthless. and the seriousness of the social and economic crisis that would be precipitated begins to reveal itself in something like it's true proportions.
 Personally am al a loss to under stand how any one who has the slightest grasp of economic questions can contemplate with equanimity the anarchistic pOssibilities-nay, certain ties-which reveal themselves through the slightest use of the imagination in connection with these figures. To me at least it seems obvious that the only thing which has kept the prohibition movement before the people of the United States is the simple fact that prohibition does not prohibit. PrOhi bitiOn that did interdict the sale of liquor over large territories would quickly sound the death knell of the prohibition movement as a National issue
 Education the Remedy.
 I believe the time to be not distant when individually. eommunally and nationally we shall grapple with the liquor problem as never before. have predicted that standing among nations may ultimately be largely de- termined by the adequacy of the rem edies provided. But these remedies will not. in my judgment. be found through the endeavOr to force upon a very large minority of the people habits of abstinence that contradict their own interpretation of personal well-being and happiness
 Real progress must come through educating the masses of people tO a recognition of the evils of alcoholism; training up a future generation tO the understanding that alcohol in any quantity, taken habitually. is deleter- ious to mind and body and does not make for individual well-being or hap pinesS.
 When we have produced a genera ton thus educated to the simplest physiological truths regarding alcohol we may pass prOhibitory laws If we wish. but they will not be needed. popular sentiment will prove far more effective substitute.
 Meantime let me very gladly record my recognition of the good work which the great body of earnest and high minded prohibition enthusiasts have accomplished and are accom- plishing. through multitude of chan nels. in promulgating information re- garCing the evil effects of alcohol Prohibition laws have not stemmed the alcoholic tide. but the educational propaganda issued under prohibition auspices must ultimately have an enormous influence for good.

WHY THE TURKEY IS BALD.

The Indians of our country have many legends connected with certain peculiar habits or customs prevalent among them If one should chance to visit the home of an old Indian he would perhaps notice a turkey wing hanging near the fire.
 This the Indian uses to fan his fire into flame and make it burn brightly. or perhaps. in the sultry days of sum mer, to fan himself. If asked why he uses the turkey wing instead of the wing of any other bird, he would, no doubt, relate the following story:
 Many years ago the fire of the world was nearly extinguished This hap pened just at the beginning of the win ter season. The birds of the air were filled with anxiety, for their intuition told them they would need heat to keep them warm through the winter.
 bird council was held and it was decided that birds which could fly the highest should soar into the air and see if they could find a spark of fire anywhere The efforts of the eagle. lark and raven were in vain. The hon. or was left to the little brown spar row. who spied a spark of fire in the hollow of an old stump in the heart of a deep forest
 The birds flocked around the stump and tried to decide who should pick the spark out But all their efforts were in vain. To their oismay they saw the spark growing smaller and fainter. The turkey then volunteered to try to keep the tiny coal alive by flaming it with his wings. Day after day the turkey kept flaming. The heat became greater each day, until the feathers were singed off the turkeys head. If one notices carefully he will see Jumps on the head of a turkey that appear as blisters.
 It is believed that the turkey was so badly burned that all turkeys since have had bald heads and wear the blis- ters as a mementO of the bravery of the turkey The faithful turkey lost his beautiful feathers. but he gave back fire to the world; so in his honor and as a memorial of his faithfulness the Indian uses the turkey wing to make his fire for tim.-The Redman.

MANcHEsTER's SHIP CANAL,

The annual report of the Manches-
 ter Ship Canal company, which has been recently issued, shows that the canal has had prosperous year dur ing 1910 and has continued to increase
 the volume of tonnage handled, as well as it's profits. When the canal was built, with a view to affording an economical means of bringing Ameri- can any Egyptian cotton to the very doors of the great mills of Lancashire, it was freely predicted that the ven ture would never pay For the first

ceipts Ot e555.755. Last year showed the largest receipts in tolls since the opening of the canal, in 1907, when it reached 5,21O.759 tons.
 This is certainly a record to be proud of, and it has amply justified the courage shown by the people of Manchester in constructing a canal which many laughed at in the be- ginning, and which many more freely predicted would always be operated at loss. It has not only been profit able, but it accomplished the purpose of forcing cheap freights upon the railroads between Liverpool and Man chester-New Orleans Picayunc

WhtePmelons in January.

San Antonio, Feb. Ripe wa
termelons In January are rare, in
fact few countries in the world pro
duce this delicious vegetable in mid
winter. For the past three years,
however. Southwest Texas has beat
any other section of the United
States to market with melons But
not until last Saturday was it dem
onstrated that Texas could go to
market with melons in January
Now this is a demonstrated fact and
it came about in the most peculiar
way Last summer a company of
engineers was at work near the
mouth of the Rio Grande river. The
members consumed a great many
melons The seeds from these were
thrown on the ground, Saturday
Owen Haworth of this city and
number of other gentlemen were
near the mouth of the river on bust
ness and discovered a number of
melon vines from which they pick
ed melons ripe and ready to eat.
They partook of these and declared
that they were of excellent flavor.
quite AS fine as those grown in mid
summer. The vines from which these
melons were secured were ''volun-
teers, having sprung up from the
seed left by the engineers.

The Sins of the Father.

The Galveston News has the fol-
lowing regarding Thomas Dixon 8
new play:
Galveston saw Thomas Dixon as
an actor and attended his latest
play, The Sins of the Father at
the Grand Opera House last night.
The size of the audience and the en-
thusiasm displayed were unusually
good for Sunday night.
Mr.. Dixon, the author of the play
and its star, possesses natural abil-
ity as an actor. Moreover, he has
evidently learned much from his
constant writing and directing
plays, and this, combined with his
oratorical experience, qualities him
well for the role of Major Daniel
Norton, the principal character of
the production.
Besides Mr.. Dixons role and act
ing, there are several other good
parts. Those of the negro butler
and cook are particularly well done
by Mrs. Charles G. Craig and Arthur
Cowell. Miss Ethel Wright had
difficult part to play as the girl sus-
pected of being part negro. She is
pretty. appealing to the eye, grace
full, has emotional qualities OIL
voice and represented the love and
self-sacrsfice of the young woman
with rare power. An agreeable
performance was that of Hamilton
Mott as the young lover OF Tom
Norton, while Lydia Knott puts sub
tlety and feeling into the role OF the
octoroon.
On the whole, The Sins of tn,
Father" is a more coherent, NOR.
potent drama than THE Ciansman
which gave it's author u wide rep
putation as playwright. MIR. Dixon
said in his speech after the second
act that the play portrayed actual
conditions as they existed perhaps
even more in the North than in the
South, but he had laid the scene OF
the story in the South because he
knew the South better. 1t did not
need the authors saying it to drive
the lesson home that THE Sins of
the Father" is a dramatic plea for
the separation of the white and col
ored races. Mr.. Dixon's individual
appearance here is not only the
atrical novelty, but proved of the
highest interest and power as a his
trionic exhibition before last nights
audience.

BALDHEADED MEN.
Ignorance of the Hair Causes Much
Badness Among Men.

Early piety doesn't cause badness
neither does any kind of piety. Some
| baldheaded men console themselves
with the idea that badness is caused
! by a superabundance of gray matter.
| and would have the world believe
! that a baldhead is sign of great
| intellect.
Such, however, is not the case
Ninetynine time in one hundred,
badness is caused by dandruff
germs which dig down deep into the
roots of the hair destroy its vitality
and cause II to fall out.
All this may come gradually and
take time, but as an up-to-daie hui
morist would say, What's time To

If you have dandruff, the little in
visible, persistent devils called dand
ruff germs are at work. Destroy
them at once, or sooner or later they
