THE DIVERSITY OF WANTS

The diversity of positions that
are mentioned in the Wants from

Employers and employees are con-
stantly seeking each other.
Some of the most common
classifications are: Chauffeurs,
housekeepers, nurses, cooks,
maids, managers. stenographers,
"a espeople superintendent,
bookkeepers-as wei as many
workers in less skilled lines. All
have their place in the Wants.

William T. Hornaday, director of the
Geological park, the Bronx. n. Y, has
issued an appeal TO the Boy Scouts to
protect the birds and wild animals of the
country He urges them not only TO re-
frain from killing wild birds and ami
mails, but to watch sharply for the viola
tions of the game laws and TO help to
bring such violators to punishment His
reason is that unless something is done
quickly all the game animals and birds
will be exteTminated.

for the slaughter of wild creatures never
before was so fierce as now The lust
for killing seems TO be universal. Gun

mote and inaccessible regions OF the
earth. in order to find something new
to kill
eIn the United States there are owned
TODAY over 100000 shotguns. and al
least 100000 of them are used every
year The hunting licenses will prove
that. Every year, in round numbers.
100000 new shotguns are sold in North
America. and 775.000,O00 new cartridges
are made OF the new shotguns sold
each year, it Is estimated that $4,000
of them are automatic and pump guns
firing from five to six shots without re-
loading-most unfair and unsportsmal-
like weapons to use against the pitifully
small remnant of wild life.
The farmers, fruit growers and forest
owners, who have millions of dollars al
stake in the contest, are as a rule ter
Tibly apathetic when it comes to active
fighting. They leave it TO the sports
men, the naturalists, the nature lovers
and the Audubon societies, to save the
lives of the birds that work to protect
the crops and forests from destruction
They do not give this cause one-tenth
of the active aid that their own indus

ing according TO law The remnant of
wild life cannot stand the attacks of

of wild game should be stopped, every

THE BLooDHoUND FAKE.

From Dallas (Tex-) News
The bloodhound, which was made to
play, if not the hero's, at least a con-
spicuous role in Mrs Harriet Beecher
Stoves dramatized novel was a myth
We say this on the authority Of
X. r. Craig, of Dallas. who writes to
applaud State Press for having Joined
in the iconoclastic work of destroying
the popular notion as to bloodhounds.
'Iconociasm" writes Mr.. Craig, is a
vicious habit, as rule but there are
some images that ought to be broken,
and the bloodhound fake is one of
them" Then he goes on to write very
eruditely about hounds as follows:
Runaway negroes were hunted with
hounds, but they were black and tan,
or otherwise colored, fox or deer
hounds. trained from puppyhood to
scent negroes exclusively. They were
not even called b1oodhounds. They usu-
ally freed the negro on whose trail
they started. and 1T was as hard for
him to throw them off as 1t was for
the willy fox to throw off their ances-
tors. Mrs. Stoves bloodhound couldn't
have followed Eliza 40 yards in the
dark. Mrs. Stowe, who drew on her
ina gination for most of her facts. was,
with reference to bloodhounds, like the
modern sheriff-misled by the name.
The bloodhound is not, and never was,
q man hunter He is not even blood.
hunter. He prefers his meat cooked.
The name is an abbrevfation of
'bloode hound Dog historians say
that SOME ancient monks bred the
strain and made 1t one of their re-
iigious duties TO keep the blood pure
and uncontaminated, without crosses
What use they had or made of them,
other than as companions. does not ap-
pear. But they became known as
FLOODED hounds or hounds Of pure
blood. They have been bred for many
generations solely for bench show pur-
poses, and whatever hunting or trail
ing instincts their ancestors may have
had have been bred out in the effort to
produce more wrinkles in the face and
a more exaggerated head and ears 1t
is doubtful If one of them could scent
a frightened polecat. The average
sheriffs pack is made up of a cross
of this bloodhound On the common
hound. Hence it is dismal failure on
a man hunt"

ROOSEVELT TO
"BoY SCOT

(By Theodore Roosevelt. }


Let the Boy Scouts see TO it that
the best use is made of the parks
and Fairgrounds in their villages and
home towns. A gang Of toughs may
make a playground impossible; and If
the Boy Scouts in the neighborhood
Of that particular playground are fit
for their work. they will show that
they won't permit any such gang of
toughs to have its way. Moreover, let
the Boy Scouts take the lead in seeing
that the parks and Fairgrounds are
turned to a really good account
hope. by the way, that one of the
prime teachings among the Boy Scouts
will be the teaching against vandal-
ism. Let il be point Of honor to
protect birds. trees and flowers, and
so to make our country more beautiful
and not more ugly. because We have
lived in 1T.
1t should be matter of pride In
Boy Scout that he is not
afraid Of anyone. and that he
scorns not to be gentle and con-
siderate to everyone, and especial
ly to those who are weaker than he
is. If he doesn't treat his mother and
sisters well. then he is a poor crea-
ture no matter what else he does; just
as a man who doesn't treat his wife
well Is poor kind of a citizen no
matter what his other qualities may
be. And, by the way, don't ever
forget to let the boy know that cour-
tesy, politeness, and good manners
must not be neglected. They are not
little things, because they are used
at every turn in. daily life. Let the
boy remember also that in addition
to courage, unselfishness, and fair
dealing. he must have efficiency, he
must have knowledge. he must culti-
sound hAdV and a mind
and train himself so that he can act
with quick decision In any crisis that
may arise. Mind, eye muscle all must
be trained so that the boy can master
himself. and thereby learn to- master
his fate.
