such that it would be difficult to in

and therefore tho problem has been
solved by the incorporation of Il new

ton to exchange share in the old

in the fight thu. the Audubon societies
have made for the protection of the
o1rd life of this country. \ recently
enacted law gives to the federal de-
partment OF agriculture the right to
prescribe the season during which mi
gratory game birds and migratory in
sect eating birds may be killed. A
clause in the tariff hill. now before
congress. absolutely prohibits the I'M
portation of the feathers of wild birds.
The sale of wild bird feathers has
been forbidden by law in the twelve
states which contain all the big cities,
With the single exception of Chicago.
Only eight states have refused to
adopt the Audubon law protecting
non-game birds. Bird refugees have
been spotted all along the Atlantic
coast and almost ali the states arc
giving a considerable measure of pro-
lection to their game birds.
In securing this the National Asso-
citation of Audubon societies has been
forced to fight the pot hunters and the
greedy amateur shooters and resort
owners and feather hunters and
manufacturers of firearms and powd-
ers. and, above all else. m%illiners, mil
liners. milliners. Millions of dollars
business. IT was once testified that
$4,000 people were employed in it. The
Audubon leaders had to create public
sentiment to. accomplish these things.
Mr.. T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary and
executive officer of the National Audu-
bon association, has been in direct
command of the fight for bird protec-
ton. And he showed by the books the
other day that in the thirteen years
of vigorous lighting only 5000, 900 has
been spent for all purposes by the Ma
tional Audubon association. Its most
effective weapon today is the SYSTEM
attic instruction of school children in
bird protection.
Who says that sentiment doesn't
pack the punch?

There is none which yields a poorer

There may be a few high class. in

Tho Allspice Tree.

The pimento, or allspice, tree II cul-
tivated in the West Indies and Jamai.
ca. This beautiful tree usually grows
TO height OF about thirty feet. II
has straight trunk, much branched
above and covered with a very smooth
brown bark. The leaves vary I'm size
and shape. but are always OF a dark,
shining green color. During the months
OF July and August the tree IL IN full
bloom. the blossoms consisting OF very
fragrant small white flowers. In ia
vorable seasons the plmento crop IL
enormous. a single tree often yielding
a hundred or more pounds OF the dried
spice. The berries are picked while
green. because n left on the tree until
ripe they lose their pungont taste and
are valuelcss. The green berries are
exposed 20 the sun for a week or ten
days. when they lose their green color
and turn a reddish brown. When per
fectly dry they are put In bags and
casks ;or expectation. The odor and
the taste OF the pimento berries are
thought 20 resemble u combination or
those OF cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves;
hence the familiar name "allspice."

While hunting one day he came upon a
fne large deer not more than two rods

was TO stand there aud watch the deer

After awhile he came upon the deer
