PHEASANTS AND MALLARDS
 SENT ALL OVER COUNTRY
American Game Protective Association
 Distributing Birds to Members.

English pheasants and wild mallard ducks have recently been sent to all parts of the United States by the American Game Protective and Prop agation association, according to an announcement just made at it's offices, Ill Broadway, New York. The birds were distributed freely to members of the association who agreed to protect them.
 These shipments are the first to be made in accordance with a plan for restocking the country with game through the establishment of sane tuaries on which birds can increase unmolested. The overflow from these sanctuaries will provide shooting on contiguous lands. With the aid of its members the association hopes to start such refdges in every suitable com munity by supplying the birds to stock them.
 Although only pheasants and mal- lard ducks were reared last summer in sufficient numbers for distribution, experiments with quail, ruffed grouse, wild turkeys. wood ducks and Canada geese proved very satisfactory and resulted in a supply of these birds from which it is hoped that enough can be raised next year to warrant sending them out. Especial attention \ is being given to the native upland birds and if success with quail and grouse continues, they~will in time en- tirely supplant the English pheasants at the associationS farm.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
A DOWNWARD DRIFT.
Most of Leading Issues Drop One Point
 or More.

New York, Dec. 23.-The irregular fluctuations of stock today indicated that the market was still on an uncer- tain footing Prices at times moved with rapidity disproportionate to the amount of trading, shifting about in 8 way which indicated no well defined current of speculative opinion. The trend as a whole, however, was toward a lower level, and at the end of the day large part of the leading issues had fallen a point or more. Tradlng was dull and professional.
 Uncertainty whether the supreme court would announce its decision In the Minnesota rate case today restrict ed trading in the morning, and the bear element took advantage of the situa- ton to bring about recession. With the announcement in the noon hour that no decision would be announced today there came sharp upward movement. during which Union Pacific rose two points above the last quota ton on Saturday. The gains were quickly lost, however, and durir the remainder of the session the tendency was downward.
 The call money rate rose to six per cent. late in the day, which ---~-- have been factor in the heaviness of the Stock market. with the easing or the strain in Europe less apprehension is felt as to the monetary conditions at the end of the year, although money rates will be watched closely during the remainder of the month -ud may constitute a more important influence. Germany, whose needs are more urgent at this season, succeeded in obtaining more than half of the weeks offering of South African gold in London.
 Baltimore and Ohio, the first of the large railroad systems to make it's November reports, showed a. further gain In revenue. The net returns in- creased nearly s500000 over the cor responding month of 1911.

Piper Donovan, H. M. Johnson and George Steward, the famous old pro- fessionals. Flash Donaldson, the South African professional. is about the only one of the present day sprinters, either amateur or professional who has the old pick up down to such 6 degree of perfection as Drew has.
 Drew not only gets of his mark like an arrow from the bow and picks up his speed in a wonderfully short dis
 tance, but he has a truly wonderful burst of speed. His only bad tendency is to ease down once he gets in the lead. That fault some day may cost him an important race. What Drew is to the 100 yard men Craig Is to the furlong sprinters. The negro is the only amateur in the world who has proved himself to be faster than Craig at 100 yards. Craig, however, can sustain his speed for 220 yards and is an invincible furlonger. Drew as yet has not shown that ability"

is not at home amid this play OF un-
wholesome sensibiities and immorali-
ties. The attempt to portray physical
passion fails, but the attempt itself Is
more than mischievous enough. 1t is
a corrupt and corruptlng book; not at
all because Mrs. Wharton means II to
be, but because she has thought 1t
would be possible TO deal innocently
with subjects which the French
writer's, whose pupil she is, never
meant to be innocent. They write for
their own public. Mrs. Wharton must
remind herself that the French and
American canons, whether in ethics or
in literature, do not and cannot coin
eide; If only because the Frenchman
specializes in both. She must limit her
audience as he does if she hopes TO
succeed in this new enterprise; she
must eliminate the American girl; she
must persuade the American reader OF
all classes that between literature and
morals there can be permanent
