FOR FEATHERED FRIENDS

New York, Nov. 5-That $4,000
was raised by American bird lovers 20
fight for their feathered friends this
year through the National Association
of Audubon Societies was announced
in this city today, following the an
nual meeting of this organization. In
creases of A per cent in sustaining
membership. &c per cent in life men,
berships and fully Sc per cent in gross
income within one year and the doub-
ling of its working forces and income
since 1910 are reported at the head
quarters of the Audubon workers as
evidences that the bird protective
movement is beginning to receive the
support of men, women and children
in every section of the country If the
interest of the public increases pro-
portionately in the future. it is calcu-
lated that at the end of the coming
decade, three-quarters of million dol
lars will be spent annually for the ben
eft of the nations bird life through an
organization of ten times the fighting
strength of the present national Au-
dubon army of wardens, field agents
and educators
That at least 80 cents in every dol
lar contributed by sympathizers with
the wild birds was directly spent in
pleading their cause before congress,

AN EpocHAL ADMINISTRATORS,

The republican partisans who car
only see evil in a good democratic ad
ministration. and only good in a bad
! republican administration, the progress
! sive, democratic. yes, epochal admin
istration of President Wilson is Very
unsatisfactory
! To the people OF ali political creeds
who place the interests Of the nation
/ above the interests CT any group OF
I politicians, the Wilson administration
( is highly satisfactory and recognized
as epochal
! For the first time in decades we have
president over whom the mighty
! powers of combined corporation wealth
have no influence except that which is
necessary to guarantee a square deal
He is fair to the great and TO the small
as considerate of the latter as the
forrner-a president truly democratic
and an official of brilliant intelligence
and exceptional ability.
Words like the following falling from
the lips of President Wilson relative
to the attitude of the administration to-
ward Latin America, cannot help but
make this administration epochal
On March il President Wilson de
clared:
We have no sympathy with those
who seek to seize the power of gov
eminent to advance their own personal
interests and ambition. We are the
friends of peace. but we know that
there can be no lasting or stable peace
in such circumstances"
Last Saturday at Swarthmore, Pa.
speaking OF the conquest of America
for freedom and self-government, he
said:
Il would like to believe that all this
hemisphere is devoted to the same sa-
cred purpose and that nowhere can
any government endure which is stain
ed by blood or supported by anything
but the consent Of the governed"
Later. in an address before the
Southern Commercial congress at Mo-
bile, after repeating in substance the
sentiments above expressed. he said
of European interests in America:
You hear of concessions to foreign
capital in Latin America, but you do
not hear of concessions to foreign cap
ital in the United States States
that are obliged to grant concessions
are in the condition that foreign inter
ests are apt TO dominate their domes-
tic affairs. It is emancipation
from this Inevitable subordination
which we deem il our duty TO assist"
His position on the tariff, the cur
rency, the Monroe doctrine and other
towering issues of the day, marks him
as another Jefferson and another Lin
coin.
Peanut politicians may drivel about
this administration, but they cannot
fool an enlightened and delighted peo-
pie. They have a big, broad, ten-story
president who stands out above the
general run of presidents like sky
scraper among cottages, and they
know II

The Daily Story
Pink Pearls for Polly-By Clarissa Mackie
Copyrghted. 1913. by Associated Literary Isursan.

1T is to be nay birthday present
dubbed Polly Newton as she paused
with young Or. Mills before the jew.
eler's window. Father allowed me to
select what 1 wanted. ard 1 chose the
pearls. Aren't they Iovefy?'
Frank Mills looked long and earnest.
II at the string OF delicate pink pearls,
perfectly matched. lying on bed of
white velvet. He was not judge OF
gems. but it happened that these par
ticular pearls were famous, and he had
heard their value discussed at his club
where IT was said they were worth
$4,000
To a physician whose heart was
wrenched with the bitter needs of the
suffering poor in a great city 1t was a
sinful price to pay for jewels.

party" went on Folly as they turned
away from the window. You are

happens. / may have a call. You
know. Miss Newton. that my evenings
are at the disposal Of my poor people.
Somebody has to look out for them"
"Oh. yes" said Polly. vaguely con-
seious that a filmy gray veil had
dropped over the roseate happiness of
the moment. II suppose DR.. Rudd
takes care of them occasionally"
DIR. Rudd is very busy just now.

! and try not to call on him to help me
out with these evening cases"
"Ah. but you are busy. too" she
cried impulsively. Father says you
are the hardest worked man in New
York. and yet you sacrifice your pre-
cious evenings to them"
at is not such sacrifice as you
think. They need my help" He smiled
down at her.
II suppose they do" murmured Pol.
ly in a troubled tone.
When DR.. Mills left her at the door of
the great house where she lived Polly
had a sudden presentiment that some
thing would happen to keep DR.. Frank
away from her birthday party. Some
dark eyed foreign born baby would be
attacked by Group, and away DR.. Frank
would go and forget all about her! She
could not down the fear that clutcbed
at her heart, the terror that perhaps
he did not care for her at all and that
never could she swerve him from his
allegiance to his poor people.
OF course Polly was in love with DR.
Frank or she would never have cared
a jot whether he came TO her party or

delicious way that the earnest young
physician had lost his heart to her.
There had been nothing said. no
question asked or answered, no prom

certain understanding between them.
Benjamin Newton liked the young doc.
tor and. poor though he was. would
have sanctioned the match.
Yet the specter of the poor people
came between them, and Polly felt in
stinctively that DR.. Frank would al
ways be loyal to his patients in the
profession he had chosen. and pretty.
spoiled Polly hated to think that she
would not be cmnipotent in her hus-
bands esteem.
Two days later came Polls's birth
day and with 1t the wonderful string
of pink pearls. During the day there
arrived many other gifts. among them

These Polly placed in a tall cut glass
vase in her own room.

was looking lovely in her simple white
satin gown. with the string of pink

IL Was Her Fate,

The young woman sat before her
glass and gazed long and earnestly at
the reflection there. She screwed up
her face in many ways. She fulfilled
her hair and then smoothed it down
again. She raised her eyes and low
cred them; she showed her teeth and
she pressed her lips tightly together.
At last she got up, with a weary sigh,
and said:
It's no use. I'll be some kind Of
a reformer."

Resting.

Resting is not merely sitting
In peaceful nook somewhere
While the precious hours are lifting
And the sky oerhead is fair.
Resting is not merely letting
Care PASS on or Duty wait.
Nor In strooornIy Forgetting
Sorrow standing at the GATE
Resting is not turning sadly
From the strife and stress and noise;
Resting Is in Doing gladly
Duties fraught with future joys.

A CUNNING Scheme,

How do you happen to be retained

Uncle Sam has become the leader OF
all the rations of the world in the sup
preston of bird butchery for the feath-
er traffic and the preservation of his
game birds by the new federal laws,
the Audubon workers declare.
Two million birds are reported to
have found safe refuge this year on
the Audubon reservations and guard
ed colonies On both coasts and in in
land sections, as well as some ten
thousand egrets over which 16 armed
agents have watched in protected
breeding grounds throughout the
southern states Fifty-two thousand
boys and girls have been enrolled as
junior members of the National Asso-
citation of Audubon Societies since last
June and thousands of dollars have
been spent in supplying the coming
generation of the whole country,
through the schools, with educational
matter that must make bird protec-
ors of every scholar in future years.
The demand of the public for expert
information on the economic value of
bird life to agricultural prosperity, as
we'll as for general pathological data,
has caused the educational activities
of the association to be doubled dur
ing the year.
I'm addition to the lines of work IN
which we are already engaged, there

tary' of the National Association Of Au-

sage of the splendid federal bird pro-
teetive laws in the past year and the
of state laws do not
mean thst our troubles are at an end.
These measures will doubtless be as
sailed in the courts. and never has
there been a time when the influence
Of wise and earnest educational en-
deavor on behalf of the birds was more
