LEFT THE DRUGGIST GASPING
Youth Drove Sharp Bargain, but Ac.
cording to Agreement, He Was
Entitled to a Guess.

Nicholas ]. Pizagno, superintendent
of the Southwark postal station, in
telling how he was called to the phone
in the middle of the night some time
ago and effusively thanked for the re-
ceipt of letter, said that his emo

liar to those recently experienced by
a druggist friend of his.
The druggist, in order to stimulate
trade, according to Mr.. PiZagno,
placed a jar of beans in his show win.

that every purchaser would be en-

the jar contained, and that a hand

"Oh, yes,' was the smiling reply of

Arrowsmith tried hot water bags
and plasters before meals and pow
ders after meals, and still he knew
that he possessed a stomach.
THE worst part of it is" Arrow
smith would say, that 1 can't tell
whether it aches for lack of food or
because of food. 1T is most confusing.

4 Nobody ever did anything at the
Arrowsmith house but sit around and
discuss Arrowsmith's affiiction and
read dyspepsia cures.
When Aunt Melissa came to visit
the family was much concerned at
sight of him.
: Arrowsmith passed long and de-
lightful evening relating his sufferings
to her and describing his hopeless at
tempts at cure.
, "Shucks!" said Aunt Melissa. 81

king all those things and doing all
these gymnastics! Now, if you'd take
one of these pep'mints after each
meal, like 1 do"
Arrowsmith groaned hollowly. "You
don't understand" he explained, chow
serious a case mine is! Why, I've
consulted some of the best specialists
in the country"
Aunt Melissa made such a nuisance
of herself about the peppermints that
after dinner that night, Arrowsmith
ate two to get rid of her.
"There!" cried Aunt Melissa half an
hour later, when she caught Arrow
smith laughing. You feel better, don't

nephew, severely, Il have no pain.

insisted his aunt. They'll cure you!
And eat what Henrietta calls human

Whether or not it was time for his
dyspepsia to stop, anyhow the family
will never know, but the fact remains
that Arrowsmith's dyspepsia was
quickly cured. But Arrowsmith has
never forgiven his Aunt Melissa for
depriving him of his one topic of con-

REGIME OF LINWHACK

proachfully, Il can't eat that"
Thereupon Mrs. Arrowsmith or the
waitress, or whoever had offered Ar.
rowsmith the rejected dish, would fall
back abashed and clutch her head,
wondering what on earth she could
concoct to stay Arrowsmith's hunger
and yet not collide with his dyspepsia.
Arrowsmith was greatly pleased
with his dyspepsia. 1t was not the
acutely painful kind, but a comforta-
BILE sort Of unhappiness, giving him
something to talk about which he
could use to attract sympathy to him
self when attention in his direction
seemed to be tagging
Then, too, he derived a certain
pleasure from trying new remedies.
Linwhack, who had taken an expen-
sive German cure for the same trou-
bic, had talked to him throughout a
whole bridge party explaining just
how Arrowsmith could take the scme
cure without the trouble of travelling

Linwhack said, Ito take this thing in

you, as l did! My, how I suffered"

Arrowsmith made life miserable for
the members of his family for weeks
after this, groaning and suffering un-
der Linwhacks regime. Then he de-
clared that the was worse than ever,
and announced that he desired no
more prune soups or cream steaks

The chopped beef interlude was also
trying for those about him, for Arrow
smith would look so desperately re-
proachful at the sight of the others
devouring fried oysters and spicy sal
ads and rich desserts, whiG he dined
off something similar to the dish ordi-
narily set before the family watchdog.
Still, as Mrs. Arrowsmith pointed out,
he really could not expect every one
else to go on a chopped beef diet.
"This is not a follow-my-leade
game, darling" his wife explained to
him, as she devoured chocolate cake,

Who Owns the Birds.

Ourlawmakers have been care
fully trained to believe that the
men who kill are the sole dlcta-
tors of the fate of the game
birds and many others. Nine
Americans out of every ten to-
day have in their head a well.de-
fined state of mind which pas
sively conceeds that the sports
men, gunners and game hogs"
actully own all the game birds
and may dictate their fate.
But every tenth man has
learned differently, and the day
of,reckoning has arrived. Nine
ty-fve per cent of the birds,
game and not game, belong to
the people who don't shoot and
never kill. Whenever they de-
cides that there shall be no bird
shooting anywhere in the United
States for five years that decision
will prevail. The real sportsmen
will concur; the gunner will OBJ
ject. The game birds do not be-
long to the gunners any more
than to the BARRIERS OF the
stationary engineers. The ques-
ton of what the gunners will
agree to in the line of real con-
servation is now a matter OF
academic interest only.
Through their greed and sci.
fshness in shooting up the bag
limit" and beyond, the needless
sportsmen, the gunners and
''game-hogs" of this land have
brought our once boundiful sup
ply of legitimate game to an
alarmingly low point. They have
shown us that the way to bring
back the birds is to stop killing
them. If this spells ''prohibl-
tion." as some of the killers al
ready declair, then prohibition
let it be, for our bird fauna must
and shall be saved. N York
