numbers of eggs. OnA collector who
visited the island in April, 1894, rec
ords the fact that in about an hour
he gathered some 1876 sets, which
must have represented a very consid-
cradle proportion of the eggs then in
the nests.
Even tourists often did consider
able harm by shooting at the pell-
cans merely because they furnished
an easy mark or drove them from
their nests, thus exposing the young
to the scorching, often fatal, rays of
the sun. All this is now changed.
For the last twelve years the birds
have enjoyed the protection of the
state law. In 1903 the island was
made a government reservation by
executive order and placed in charge
of the Department Of Agriculture, and
the warden was duly commissioned
as an officer Of the department. For
several seasons the birds have bred
free from molestation, and the colony
is now in fiourishing condition. The
island has been visited by naturalists,
who have made careful studies Of the
birds. Data never before available
are being collected regarding their
food, melting and nesting habits, and
the reservation is fast becoming a
point of interest for visitors and stu
dents Of nature, who are attracted by
the exceptional opportunities afforded
by observing the birds and studying
their habits

he resembles Themistocles, the ruler

his young son was the real ruler OF
Athens, because, while the father was
the nominal head of the government,
he was ruled by his wife, and she in

It is with the kaiser with this differ

results more or less successful. An
American observer says he found the

to the fact that in that country the

BY CHARLES N. LURE.

When the army men tell us, with
solemnly lifted warning hands, that
the United States needs horses for its
army and must have them if the eff
cheney of the force is to be maintained
the natural reply is: "Well, the gov
eminent has money in the treasury.
Go out and buy horses" But that is
not the correct answer, for there are
no horses Of the proper kind to be
bought At any rate, there is not
sufficient supply of them. This coun-
try is rich in many good things, and
as Uncle Joe Cannon remarked few
years ago in profane but expressive
language, it's a great big country, but
it's pbor in horses good for cavalry
or artillery service.
According to recent figures, the
army must procure each year 5000
new horses for its service. We have
a regular army of 10000 enlisted men
and 1880 officers when the army is on
its present peace footing. These men
need $4,000 horses, $4,000 for the fif-
teen cavalry regiments, 1000 for the
field artillery and about 1000 for the
use of messengers, orderlies, etc. Then
there are the 5000 required for mount
ed officers of the other regiments. 1t
get each year 5000 horses for those
lost through death or disability, but
It is by no means easy, and army of
ficers charged with the solution of the
problem are worrying about it. They
are appealing to the nations horse
owners and breeders for assistance.
Our Horses Not as Good as Foremrly.
Good authorities agree in asserting
that the quality of the horses bred
and brought to market in this country
has deteriorated in the past two or
ply of poor horses, for which there is
little demand, but shortage of the
better animals which command good
prices. The case of the seventy-five
horses bought annually by New York
City for it's mounted policemen is
cited. They are animals of the type
which makes good cavalry mounts
and they are purchased for almost
S4OO each.
The virtual disappearance from
American farms and ranges of harE e'
suitable for cavalry and artillery use
is attributed to the neglect by breed
ers of the old and we'll liked Morgan
standard bred and thoroughbred
breeds. The introduction of the bis
draft horse, favorite nowadays among
the men who breed horses as a bust
ness, and of the automobile has ha9
the effect of displacing the othel
types. Now the government, acting
through the bureau of animal industr!
of the department of agriculture, il
encouraging interest in the production
of horses better fitted for militar!
uses. In this endeavor it has been as
sisted by some wealthy owners o
thoroughbred running horses.
The activities of the racing mel
have been curtailed by the drastic an
ti-betting laws of New York and othe
states. Several months ago Angus

What MakeS a SavIgS Bannk

The man or woman who thinks Of
making a deposit of his or her little
savings, oftentimes his or her all,
naturally does some hard thinking
with reference to the matter of safe

institutions which parade at the head
of their announcements a long list Of
distinguished names, names which
are an ornament, and names Of men
whose association with any Savings
Bank ought to make bank worthy
of confidence.
Depositors should not be deceived
by these names. The names Of Gen
eral So-and-So and Hon. So-and-So
and Col. So-and-So do not add to the
safety OF the bank, If they belong to
that class of directors who do not d.

that the managers of this bank have
