LBELING THE BOA AND GRIZZLY
Big Snake and Bear Not as Bad as
They are Painted.

Boa constructors and grizzly bears
have long been thought of as crea'
lures to be dreaded, but Enos A
Mills. the Colorado naturalist, has d
good word for the bear, says Youth s
COMPANION, and DR.. Frank Baldwin
recently returned from an exploring
trip to the Philippines, speaks SYM
pathetically of the snake.
Mr.. Mills declares that the grizzly
is the most maligned of animals. He
minds his own business, except when
he is attacked, and lives on nuts,
fruits, barks, grass, carrion, garbage
and insects, and, as rule, kills moth
ing larger than a mouse. Mr.. Mills
SAYS he is an excellent mouser, pa
tient and thorough in his methods.
DR.. Baldwin says of the boa con-
strictor:
"All my reading life l have re-
garded the boa constructor with hor-
ror and aversion. When l got into
the Jungle, my great desire was to
meet a large boa, in order that |
might do him some very real harm.
When l did find one, my sentiments
we're those Of pity for TIE snake. He
was stretched across the path, and
when the natives saw him they
pounced upon him with yells of de-
light. On the other hand, he seemed
dazed.
with a native for every yard of
him. holding him firmly, the journey
on legs through the jungle and down
to the beach. He wriggled feebly
and Missed in a hopeless manner.
There they cut his head off with no
more ceremony than they would have
used if he had been a chicken, folded
as much as they could get of him in
to a kind of clam-shell about nine
feet in diameter, and built fire. In
an hour he was cooked, and IN an
other hour this great snake, which
had been painfully accumulating feet
and inches for years, had disap-
peared. must say that felt a little
indignant"

Big Year in Church Building.

Reports received here from vari-
Gus parts of the country indicate that
this will be buster season in church
building than for 10 years past, de-
spite the talk of financial and indus
trial depression.
Contracts thus far let call for
structures that will cost between
s35,o0O,0OO and s4O,O00,0oo. While
all of this money may not be spent
upon the buildings before the end Of
this year, contracts uncompleted at
the beginning of the season will make
the total expenditure this year ap-
proximate s40,000,000.
This sum is about s5,0O0,OO0 above
the average for the last 10 years.
The Roman Catholics are among
the most active this season. They
are following the pattern Of Vienna,
Paris and Rome in multiplying the
numbers of parishes in large cities,
feeling their parishes in many cases
are too large. In the Southern States
much building of small Catholic
churches is going on.
The Episcopalians are also active.
They are building cathedrals in sew
eral important cities. The Christian
Scientists report fewer building pro-
jects this year than formerly.
New York will spend from 5,000,-
900 to sS,OOO,OO0 this summer, chief
ly on Manhattan island. Chicago has
in hand some s3,0O0,O0O in church
projects. The South and Southwest,
New England and the Rocky noun
tain regions report the largest num-
bers of projects, although in many
cases amounts involved are small

1.-THE South's Going Dry"

Lay the jest about the julep in the
camphor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened, and
the .olden days are past!
That which made Milwaukee famous
does not foam in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouri is as tight
az can be;
And the comic paper Colonel and
his cronies we'll may sigh,
For the mint is waving gayly, and
the South is going dry.
By the still-side on the hillside in
Kentucky all is still,
And the only damp refreshment
must be dipped up from the
rill.
Nawth Ca'rina's stately ruler gives
his soda glass a shove,
And discusses local option With the
So'th Calina's guv.
It is useless at the fountain to be
winkful Of the eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty, and
the South is going dry!

Though younger science thunders out
An awful warning as to wedding,
Any Hymel's torch is screened about
To keep the tricksy fire from
spreading
While warnings of the wise
Are far displayed
Dear, look me in the eyes!
Are you afraid?
By medic bugbears grim and raw
And story teller's soiled sophistics,
By snarling lions of new law
And grinning skulls Of old statis-
tics, o.

Frights man and maid,
Yet-look me in the eyes?
Are you afraid?
Ay, render unto Caesars clan
The hearing human owes to human,
Yet, after them, man will be man
And woman probably be woman.
Birds will be in the skies,
Nests in the shade
Love, look me in the eyes!

The governor of South Carolina has
exhibited all over the State a cata-
logue of Benedict college, containing
a picture Of the negro students with
some white teachers, taken together.
The governor has been South Caroli-
mas chief executive for four years
and was in the State senate for sever
al years, and did nothing to remedy
this condition, which he says is social
equality. After having had years of
opportunity while in the State and
accomplished nothing, We do not see
how he proposes to remedy it by go
ing to the U. S. senate. Still he ex-
poets the catalogue to get him votes!

GAME IS PLENTIFUL
 IN THIS STATE
And 26,3oo Hunting Licenses Have
 Been Sent to Town Clerks.

Reports received at the office of the state superintendent of fisheries and game indicate that this is likely to be one of the most successful hunting seasons for many years. Birds are very plentiful and many hunters have bagged the limit of five birds per, day in an hours shooting. Before the recent. rainfall hunters were somewhat hanpered by the. thick foliage on the trees, which made it difficult to see the birds. But even with this difficulty the shooting has been satisfactory.
 The number of hunters is more this year than last, in fact more than for some years. The superintendent has sent to town clerks to date 26,300 li- censes. The number for the same time in 1913 was 23.29S and for 1912 19,103. The receipts last year from licenses amounted to $26.253. It is expected that the amount realized this year will be considerably in excess of that sum. The birds which may be shot are ruffed grouse, quail, woodcock and partridge.
 It is just as we'll to remind hunters that the law places a limit on the number of birds which may be shot in a day and in a season. Not more than five of any single species can be taken in a. day and for the season the mum Der must not exceed S6. There is also a restriction on the number of birds which may be in a. persons posses sion at any one time. The limit is five. ts r --
