Birds Made to Order.

"The Japanese can make birds to
order" said an ornithologist. With
their indomitable patience and their
Incompatible ingenuity, they can pro-
1uce new kinds of birds as mil
liner can produce new kinds of hats.
They have a pet sparrow that is
perfectly white. DoN you know how
they make him? Well, they take a
pair of the palest sparrows they can
find, and keep them in white cage
in a white room, where their only
attendant is white-robed servant.
The result, after series of genera
lions, is a pure white sparrow. Or
so, at least, the Japanese have told
me.
"They breed also rooster with a
tail almost as big as a peacock's.
First, they say, they select a rooster
with a very fine tail. They make him
stand on high perez. and they drag
his tail downward they stretch it out,
with weights So they do with the
oest-tailed of his descendants for
some ars. and in the end an eno7
nous tailed rooster is obtained"

OWNING THE FOREST.

1t is entirely true that if the
state had not disposed Of it's pub
lie lands it would still own them.
That point, made by the advo-
Gates of the state forest reserve,
is indisputable. But suppose the
state still owned it's public lands,
how much better off would it be?
1t could not tax them. There
would be no inhabitants, at
least none of the two-legged
variety, except Indians and trap
pers to occupy the forests. The
whole northern portion OF the
state would be a wilderness. Do
thehighbrows at Madison really
believe such a condition would
have been better for the state
than the present condition OF
growing cities, developing re-
sources and comfortable homes?
This conservation business takes
one off his feet, if he doesn't bal
last himself with a moderate
amount of common nse.-Wau-

The youngsters had started a

osity of S. w. Smith, who saw
smoke issuing from the place, the
result might have been disas-

fire.
A strong southeast wind was
blowing at the time and had the

New York, Oct. ga summary OF
the evidence which the board OF man

duced against Governor Sulzer at his
trial in Albany will be made public by
the lawyers who represented the
board. The greater part of that evil
dence had been prepared for use
against the governor on cross ex.
animation should he take the witness
stand and for rebuttal in the event
that any strong defense was put up.
After the governor was convicted,
the opinion Of the board and OF the
men who had worked so hard to cause
the eviction OF the governor was that
1t should be buried and forgotten

Say Sulzer Is Millionaire.
From information obtained IN
reliable sources, 1t is believed that
the summary or circular which will
be issued will contain charges that
Mr.. Sulzer, instead of being a poor
man, is worth several hundred thou
sand dollars, II he is not a millionaire.
The statement will tell of various
other election contributions which
Sulzer received when a candidate for
governor and which have not been
made public so far. There are even
hints that he collected more than
$500, 00O
100000 In Toronto Bank.

close to the impeachment board, twas
what he was doing with 100000 on
deposit in a Toronto bank. There is
no doubt that he did deposit that
much there"
The sun mary will go into detail not
only concerning election contributions
but other activities Of Mr. Sulzer. It
will be an answer in several ways to
the statement which the governor
has made since his removal from the
gOvernorship.
That bitter fight will be made on
Sulzer and that every effort will be
made to prevent his election to the
assembly was learned from various
sources. The publication of the state.
ment will be aimed to dscredit him
