 HAS WARDEN

imals. Birds of Every Va
 riety from All Parts of
 Arizona.
 PHOENIX, Nov. s.-Frank W. Rog .ers, state game warden. has assern- bled nearly every kind of animal and bird and reptile in the category of the west in his little space in the Woman's building. By a systematic canvass of the state. by indus trious work on his own part. by cap turing at his home and while on the trips about the state one and another 'of the desired list he has gathered in under his protecting wing as bis show at the fair. an astounding varie- ty of not alone stuffed but of living creatures which abound in the woods and wilds of this state and the west coast
 In the list of living creatures may be found reptiles, rattle snakes. black garter. bull snakes. all kind of snakes. captured in the hills and on the des- erts of Arizona They are penned in i little glass-coyered. screen enclosed cases where the visitors may see them on his entering the booth. In the booth are arranged cages and n the cages are collected the birds and the animals peculiar to this country, well known and not so we'll known. The list of rodents Is perhaps the most complete of the lot. There are mice, rate. field mice and wood rats, moles and gophers, everything but the hodag. eaoh erouching in his lit, tie hay and straw and looking at the visitor with the eyes of the despair ing.
 The birds are arranged in separate cages. The little boot cwl. his eyes closed and his head drawn back 70 his body, presents a direct contrast to the white tail hawk. who looks al the visitor with the eyes of defiance steady. staring and bright. The lit tie doves. their innocence written all over them in plainer language than words can effect, roost and run with the wilder clueking mountain and crested quail
 Pin daif ducks, far from the water strut In their pen unafraid, and unat fected away from their element and other fowl galore are as much uneon' cerned and independent as is tneir custom under like circumstances.
 The coyote is the one which is familiar to the eyes of all Phoenf cians, the little tame coyote, which so long has been seen about the streets of this city under the leash and which is so tame that the child ren of the streets pet and play with i him.
 There is also hog. A big, oushy ugly Texas musk hog who in his ele ment is to be feared and who in the exhibit looks as if he might do little damage with his charge if he were to be turned out. He is caged oy | himself, next to the coyote,
 The most regretable thing to the game warden was the fact that he was unable to have at the show the two deer which he had promised tt the public. They would have been if the pens prepared for them but fol the fact that when they were pre- pared for shipment to the grounds tbey took on so and struggled se ferceiy that one severely injusee himself and the two had to be lef' where they belonged for fear tha' they might injure themselves fataii' before the end of the week.
 In the list of stuffed birds, are a. .ha vell known as well as a majority of the scarcer animals and birds o this state. They are arranged to aS good an advantage as the little space advanced to the warden would per init. and they give comprehensive idea of the variety and number Q members of animal and bird life II Arizona and the west.
 1 Though the list is not so com ulete as MT. Rogers had intended pre- senting to the public. it Is the pes, that the limited time he vas allowed in gathering it would pezmst. and n' ,s to be congratulated on the showins he has made. There are number O men at the booth to see that the 'lst tors are well instructed in the yaias of other qualities of the animals an' hgrds on exhibit, and they do full ias tee to their duty. It would be wei for the many who are on the grouno' to see this display. It is the most T, structive array of living ereasuIs' that has ever been shown in tnli state,
