PRESERVE WILD LIFE
Posterity Entitled to Consideration
I'm the Matter.

New York Commercial: Posterity
has some rights. We should not de-
prive those who are to come after of
sources of innocent pleasure by *
terminating the beautiful and gener-
ally useful creatures with which this
world was filled by an all wise provi-
dence. We protest against the de-
struction of temples and works of
art in this war. but ii is a greater
crime against p~osterity to destroy the
creatures whose beauty is far beyond
that of anything made by the hand
OF man. DIR. William T. Hornaday,
director of the New York geological
park. recommends that all the states,
the federal government and other
countries in North America shall
make a united effort to stop the
slaughter of birds and harmless ami
mails. To do this he would stop the
sale of wild game. prohibit all spring
and late winter shooting. prevent
unnaturalized aliens from owning or
using firearms. establish closed sea-
sons for all game threatened with
extinction, forbid the use of destruct-
i've pump" guns and stop absolute
ly the killing of insectivorous birds
and of all birds for millinery pur-
poses. DR.. Hornaday believes that
the number of public and private
game preserves should be increased
and those who wish to establish
"sanctuaries" for the protection and
propagation of wild life should be
encouraged and their property
should be protected from p~oachers
with great strictness. The poacher,
as we find him in this country, is
twin brother to the degraded ruff
fan who kills squirrels in Central
park.

alarm being quickly given the fire
men were soon on the ground and

firemen were bafned for a time to tell
Just where the body of the fire was,
but by a generous supply of water
drenched the building and kept the
flames from spreading far. Some
damage was done to the partition,
walls. roof and ceiling in the imme-
date neighborhood of the flames, and
more extended damage from the de-
LUCE of water on the goods in the
store. How the fire originated is
still a mystery. Mcdonald Bros. set
the damage as $4,000. while the in
suranee carried is between $4,000
and $1,000. The prompt work of the
firemen and efficient service of water
supply Is to be commended as they
no doubt saved that portion OF the
city from a great confiagration.

THIS SQUASH Is A WHALE.
That Is Its Name, and It Weighs For
ty-two Pounds.

Battle Creek, Mich.-One OF the vege-
tables that weren't sold at the city mar
ket was a huge squash of the whale"
variety weighing forty-two pounds and
measuring nearly a yard long and
twenty-nine inches In circumference.
The mammoth squash was exhibited
by Frank linus, who owns a farm In
Battle Greek township, three quarters
of a mile west of Battle Creek.
The squash is whale" by name
and whale by nature. Mr.. linus has
other squashes that weigh as much as
100 pounds, but zone measures as long
as the yard long one. The Whale
squash is better for pies than for use
as a vegetable. though it is not as
watery as the regular pie pumpkin.
Its flesh is golden. and the shell is
nearly as hard as the Hubbard squash
The vines bear heavily, many Of them
having several large squashes OF the
same vine.

GIRL WIDOW WITNESS
AT FATHERS TRIAL
He Killed Her Boy Husband,
and She Is In PitIfuI Dilemma.

Haverstraw, n. Y.-Unique In dra-
matte situations that murder trials
have brought about is that which will
arise when William V. Cleary, the
Haverstraw, comes to trial In New City
shortly for the killing OF his eighteen
year-old son-in-law. Eugene NJ. New.
man.
1t lies in the narrowing position In
which the dead lads girl wife, Cleary's
daughter, will find herself. TO appear
upon the witness stand In defense OF
her father involves the necessity OF
aspersing the memory OF her youthful
husband; to ignore her fathers des
the courtroom or to take the stand
and be forced to give evidence against
him obviously carries with 1t poignant
distress. the torture of flial affection.
Newman was shot dead In Cleary's
office last July.
Eugene Newman and Anna Marie
Cleary Were first attracted to each 9th
er when be was In knickerbockers-a
lad OF f~ourteen-and she at sixteen had
just assumed the dignity of shoe tor
skirts. The only shadow on it all was
Cleary's attitude. He didn't like the
boy. There wasn't the objection OF
their being so youthful. for they did
not ask to be allowed to marry i'm
mediately. They said they knew they
were too young and were willing to
wait. But when Newman was eight.
cen they were married. When young
Newman entered Cleary's office with
the marriage certificate In his hand he
was shot.
The state declares that Cleary was
prompted by vicious spite against the
boy because he had overridden Cleary's
opposition and outwitted him by mar
rying the boss daughter.
On this crucial point, Of course, the
testimony Of young Mrs. Newman
might prove all important. In her
tragic quandary she has said of her
problem:
II dare say my father was so furi-
Gus to think Gene and I had run away
and been married that he absolutely
lost his head. For any one to attribute
any other reason for my father killing
my husband is to cast a slanderous re-
Election on my husband that l will not
permit. Now that my husband Is dead
his memory is too sacred to me for me
TO stand by and allow persons to throw
mud on his character.
please do not ask me IL l have
forgiven my father. You must realize
that ] am In a terrible position. My
husband Is dead. and no atonement my
father could possibly make can bring
him back to me. The least | can do
is to protect his memory. On the 9TH
er hand, my father stands In danger
Of dying In the electric chair, and even
to protect my husbands memory l can
not allow my father to suffer that fate.
My one hope Is that l will not be called
at the trial"
