This Letter Should Reach
Every Man and Every
Woman

This letter ought to reach the
heart and the brain of every
man and woman of common
sense and common sensibility
in our land.
1t ought to reach the hearts
of mothers of young sons who
have arrived at an age where
they want to express their
manly qualities by using a gun.
Airguns are only a degree
less mcnacing in the bands of
young lads than revolvcrs in the
hands of gunner.
Every year distressing acci-
dents are reported in the daily
press from the use of these
toys" by boys. Companions
are blinded or crippled, and the
precious lives of beautiful birds
are sacrificed, while the killing
instinct in growing children IS
cultivated and fostercd.
All because women believe
themselves to be good moth
ers, and consider they are
cultivating the manliness in
their little boys by providing
them with guns for amusc-
ment.
Meantime, if the mother be-
gan as soon as her little boy
could talk, or understand, to
awaken in his heart a love and
sympathy for birds and beasts,
and if she then stipulated that
his gun practice should consist
wholly in target shooting I'M

~ EAR FRIEND: Please
~ permit US to call your
attention to a great and serious
evil now menacing our insect
eating birds. Millions of small
birds in migration are destroyed
yearly by. the people of the
southern states and used as food.
This destruction, now increasing,
is having serious effect on the
numbers of song birds in the
north. Negroes are armed with
guns, and many are proficient in
other means of destruction. In

ties in New York city, and they
are still sold by thousands in
the south.
"The Audubon societies, which
have already checked the killing
of native birds for millinery pur-
poses, now purpose to stop the
slaughter Of song birds for food
in this country. This is stu
pendous task. 1t must be done
by educating the public through

der proper guidance and in

up skilled as good marksman
and yet humane and kindly in
his instincts.
Every man should know how
to use a gun and revolver.
There are occasions when
such knowledge is important.
But there is no part of a
youths education which needs a
more careful and wise prepare
ton and guidance than this.
Not one boy in . thousand re-
ccives this preparation and
guidance.
The average boy leases for a
gun, and receives it as birth

ceeds to use it after being told
to "be careful" by the loving

leaves him to his amusement.
Unpopular Because She
Forbade Boys to Shoot
Birds
At one of the resorts not far
from New York city, a woman
made herself unpopular with
her neighbors (mothers of sons
of the airgun age), by telling
the boys they must not aim at
or shoot birds of any kind on
her grounds. Her action was
considered unneighborly and
her words of advice to the boys
to study bird lore and learn
kindness were considered i'm
pertinent.
There is nothing our public
schools need more than to in
clude this education which the
Audubon society offers in the
school courses. If you, dear
madam, who perusc these lines,
want to help make this beauti-
full world more beautiful and
less sad, if you want to aid in
forming higher ideals and kinder
instincts in the rising genera
ton, in ordering or trimming
your autumn hat, try and use
good common sense, and a little
individual taste, and wear hat
which is becoming and beauti-
full and entirely devoid of any
part of a dead bird. Plumes
from the ostrich do not mean
the destruction of that bird, for
the ostrich is a robust fowl and
the plumes grow while the os-
trich exists, just as the goose
grows new down each year. But
besides plumes, there are c,-
quisite grasses and flowers. ano
laces and jets, and velvet, and
ribbons and other trimmings
which can make headgear at
tractivc.

COYOTES RUN
DOWN DEER
ONE OF THEM SAVED WHEN
EXHAUSTED BY BOYS WHO
SHOOT THE PURSUERS.

Rapid City. S. D.-That the State
Game Preserve now being established
near Harvey Peak is needed towards
preserving deer and other wild game
in. the Black Hills is becoming more
apparent each year.
While a considerable number of
deer have been killed this season,
those hunters who have returned re
port deer are + than usual, due
partly to the lack of snow for track
ing, but chiefly on account of the
COYOTES. These p%estiferous animals
while singly no match for a full
grown deer, usually chase in packs of
three, by relays, until their quarry is
exhausted when it is an easy matter
to dispatch the largest buck. Last
the two sons of ex-county COM
missioner Miller were engaged in
breaking the ice in Castle creek at
their ranch in the western part OF
this county, were surprised to see a
full grown buck, apparently in the
last stages of exhaustion, rush by
within a few yards: lying down in
the water as oon as it reached the
creek. Almost Immediately three
COYOTES in full chase appeared. The
boys fortunately having their rifles
with them, dispatched the coyotes.
The deer out of sympathy was per-
to escape.

BEES TO BE PUT ON
SALOON BLACK LIST

Lead, S. D.-Perhaps the first
case in the state in which a victim
of the drinking habit has gone to AN
official and pleaded that he be placed
on the %''blacklist' at the saloons, is
reported by Mayor Howard, Of this
city. The individual, whose name is
withheld, voluntarily went to the
mayor and requested that he serve
notice on every place in Lead which
%dispenses liquor not TO sell the in
dividual liquor OF any kind. The mar
in question was anxious that the re-
tail liquor dealers make no mistake,
and provided the mayor with photo
graphs of himself. One picture will
be filed with each notice not to sell
the man liquor, so the liquor dealers
will know him if he is unable to re-
sist temptation and appears in their
places of business to purchase "A
drink. The mayor announces thai in
this case he will take special pains
to see that the notices are observed.
The man admitted his inability to re-
sist the temptation to indulge in intoX
icating liquors to excess at intervals,
but believes that the serving Of the
notices and photographs will aid him
in walking the straight and narrow
way.

WHAT IOWA BREEDER SAYS OF

A recent visit to the home of C. f.
Bates, of Letcher, S. D., found him
with a fine bunch of spring pigs. He
has a choice lot of boars on March
and April farrow sired by the good
hog King Wonder. These pigs will
weigh 200 lbs. and better, just in the
right condition to go on and do a man
good. Mr.. Bates showed at his county
fair, winning first on a pig that
should have gone to the state fair. He
is for sale and we believe if he gets
in the right hands will make a great
yearling. Mr.. Bates won first owe the
gilt that won first at the South Da-
kota State Fair. He recently purch-
ased the first prize boar at the Sioux

Because he believes that there is

gresham Charles ii. Dillon, of the
First South Dakota district, voted
for the Glass currency bin when il
passed the House. Congressman Dill
Ion, who was in Mitchell yesterday,
himself gave the explanation for his
vote.
Il have been convinced for a long
time said MIR. Dillon, in response to
an inquiry concerning the proposed
legislation on the currency that
some radical changes should be made
in the currency plan under which the
country has been operating. And

sentiment in favor of such legislation
throughout the United States. ]
voted for the Glass bill on that ac-
count and because ! believed it had
laid the foundations for a good
system.
However, the method by which
legislation is attempted under this
administration is all wrong. In the
consideration of the Glass bill, the
democratic members OF the House
committee met by themselves for two
months. They framed Il measure and
when the whole COMMITTEES was call
ed together, a session OF about fiji
teen minutes was held. during which
the majority of the members adopted
The bill prepared by the democrats

mittee adjourned. Following this a
caucus was held and the bill was
made an administration measure and

s~ideration of any amendments that
might be offered by the republicans
in the House. For the measure

only a question of time until the see

Inquiries were made by Mr.. Dillol
as to political conditions in Soutl

heard of any opposition to him TO

AZ YEARS AS

Behaved THAT FRANK BRAIN
ARD OF THE MILWAUKEE
HOLDS RECORD FOR THE
STATE.

White Lake, S. D.-Perhaps the
railway conductor in the state
or northwest is Frank B%rainard, who
runs on the Chamberlain-Sanborn
line, which passes through White
Lake. There are residents of White
Lake who rode as passengers on Mr..
Brainard's train to Mitchell and 9th
II points west to Chamberlain as
early as 1880, when the Milwaukee
railroad first constructed Il line
through this part Of the state. Brain
ard even AT that early date was some
what of a veteran in tho service of
the Milwaukee company, as he enter
cd the employ of the company nearly
ten years before; when the western
of the road was ut Algona,
La. Thus he has served as conductor
for Il period OF forty-two years or

believed TO break all records OF rail

Aberdeen. S. D.-Buildings i'm
