CIark's ||Gift'' to the Nation
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TT was 1876 years ago-F'ebruary
5. 1779-that the indomitable
Virginian, George Rogers
Clark, started out on his ever
memorable march for "Old Vim
cennes''-the terrible march that
ended in the victory that gave us
an empire larger than that of the
Republic of France or the Ger
man Empire,
On all the earth there is no
finer region than that once known
as the illinois Country" or the
North West" With its splen
did rivers and fertile prairies it is
to-day the pride of our country;
as we'll it may be, for it is the
seat of a progressive population
reaching up into the millions. with
q wealth that runs up into the
billions, while, young as it is, 1t
is able to point to its 'hustling'
metropolis and say: There is the
second city in the United States
of America. and the fourth in the
whole world"
All of which was the gift Of
George Rogers Clark, the incor
ruptible patriot. who has been so

poorly remembered that his rest
ing place is unknown to. the great
majority of his countrymen.
Clark was as far-seeing in
craftsmanship as he was ready in
warfare, and conceiving the idea
of winning for his country the
great region north of the Ohio, he
went TO work with the energy and
promptness that always charac-
terized him, to make his idea
good.
Laying the matter before Pat
rick Henry, Thomas jefferson
James Madison and other promi
nent Virginians, and gaining their
hearty approval, Clark raised
little army of some ESQ men and
resolutely set out on his epoch
making expedition.
When the Commissioners Of
Paris met in 1852 to settle the
terms of peace between the United
States and Great Britain, the
value of Clark's work doomed
large. for, thanks to Clark, our
Commissioners were able to say:
I'VE are in possession"-and tn1

The Terrible Slaughter of
Birds Increases Every
Year.

The resolutions of the confer
ence concern the protection of all
kinds of wild life, including plants
as well as animals, and savage
races of men are not excluded
from it's sympathetic good will
But particular effort was
made to throw a shield over the
birds. How necessary such pro-
lection has become is indicated
by the terrible slaughter of all
winged creatures that goes on
every year with increasing reck-
lessness. l am writing this from
france, where the "chasse'-that
is, the hunting season-has been
just closed by law, only to re-
open next year.
Now, according to my observa-
tons, the "chasse" usually means
little else than bird killing.
Bears. deer and wild rabbits still
exist in certain large forest tracts
and on private estates kept out
of cultivation for the sake of fur
nishing sport to their proprietors
and their fashionable friends, but
the average bourgeois" or plain
citizen, who in imitation of the
mobiles" puts on mis- shining
leather hunting coat, his yellow
leather leggings and his glazed
hunting cap, and jauntily tucks
his double barreled gun under his
arm, to the gaping admiration of
his less prosperous, but more use
fully occupied neighbors, seldom
finds anything to exercise his
craftsmanship upon other than
the birds of the fields and hedges,
many of which are either native
sougsters or passengers from
more northern climes trustfully
making their way sunward for the

and then wrung its neck and put

thicket, covering perhaps an acre

as lure for thrushes, and filed
with hundreds of those devifish
traps. Tho proprietor thought It
was great sport" In that way
he slaughtered hundreds of birds
1t is no excuse that he eats some
of them, for it takes more than
bis table can consume, and I
know by the look I saw in his eve
that it is a greater pleasure 70

| Method of Tortuing
Birds That One Man
Calls Sport.

They go out at sunrise with the
appearance of men called upon
to defend their country from in-
vasion, and they return at noon
or night with a pitiful bagful of
poor, broken winged birds, whose
little heads hanging from their
slender necl1s are not as large as
your thumb.
A month ago visited a coun-
try estate where the proprietor
left me to wander about at will.sE
climbed a pyramidal hill encip-
cled by his vineyards, and near
the top found myself IN a wildens
ness of dwarf beech trees, not
averaging more than five feet
high, forming a thtcket that was
penetrated at regular intervals
by narrow paths While was
wondering what this place could
be, I noticed that there were
many little wire circles suspend
ed in the branches ABOUT me,
with a fuzz of loose and exceed
ingly fine wire threads partly fill
ing them. I could not imagine
what they were for until the pro-
prietor. coming to look me IN
seemed amused at my per-
pleXity.
'Tll show you what they are
for" he said.
He stepped into one of the mar
row paths, stopped down, showed
me one of the circles set on the
ground across a narrow gap in
the thicket, and there, caught in
the cruel web Of wires as fine as
hairs and sharp as needles, was a
beautiful thrush, with it's head
hanging on it's bosom, but not yet
dead.

n n interesting token of the
n spirit of our times is the
recent international con-
ference held at Berne, Switzer-
land, to consider what should be
done in order to preserve the
wild races of the globe from the
murderous propensities of the
only self-styled civilized animal
which at present dwells upon its
surface.
One branding sentence uttered
by Paul Sarasin at that confer
ence smarts and stings in the
readers conscience.
ct is only too true" said Mr..
Sarasin, that the white man is
the great DESTROYER of crea-
ton! He is the kill-joy in the
paradise Of the earth, and wher-
ever he goes his path is marked
by epidemics, poison, devasta-
ton, blood and tears!"
The civilized white man not
only kills lower animals for the
pleasure of seeing them fall and
die, but, directly or indirectly,
swiftly or slowly, he kills all rep
resentatives of his own kind
whose ways of life are less arti-
fcial than his own. He sacri-
fees every creature to his two
great gods-machinery and lux
ury.
Fortunately there Is a leaven of
Righteousness in his composition.

REDUCING THE HIGH COST OF
LIVING.
by NJ. Adelia Fox.)

Few questions are OF more vital
Importance today than that Of the
high cost Of living. Many contend
that the revised tariff will have a
very appreciable effect in reducing
expenses. But we cannot wait TO
find out about thatl We have a re-
putation for being a nation Of liber-
nj spenders. Now, IL is not what we
earn but what we save that shows
our sagacity and wisdom in the use
of money. II is a well-known fact
that Americans set" a better table
than any other people. The French
and other foreigners who come to
our shores could almost live on the
food that we throw away. Many Of
us would be more economical were
il not for the fear Of the opinion Of
our neighbors who would consider
us stingy.

bread all over the house 20 the de-

Of the bread winner, will help to
remedy this useless expense.
Men and boys are improvident
when at the country stores. A
rainy day is the storekeeper's har-
vest day. Apparently having moth
ing else to do, a crowd gathers TO
talk over the latest news or swap
stories and while doing so will take
one or more chances Of getting a
watch or knife for a nickel or buy
candy, peanuts, cheese and crack
ers or canned fruit to the amount
of seventy-flve cents or a dollar. The
same sum invested in a pair of rub
bers would be more beneficial to the
spender, or If spent for a good news
paper, book or lamp would give
pleasure to the entire family, and
be a far wiser use Of the money and
less selfish.

THE BEREA GRADED SCHOOL.

The people of Berea will be given
an opportunity on Saturday the 18th
of January to make one of the best
steps forward that they have ever
taken. They will then be asked to
vote bonds for the erection and
equipment of a Graded School build
ing. The College has done great
things for the community but IL
cannot educate every one as people
are learning at the present time,
and community can rise only as
all of its members are educated. To
accomplish this the people of Be-
rea have voted Graded School,
and the coming election is to de-
termne whether the school will be
built at once, by business methods,
or delayed until annual taxes accu-
mulate sufficient to meet the ex-
penses.
No one, knowing the spirit of Be-
rea people, can doubt the result, but
every legal voter wants to register
"yes" to make progress doubly
sure.

mistaken an idea of economy as it
is for the good woman of the house
to send the eggs to the store, and
serve pork almost the year round

eggs in some of the many tasty

swimming in grease.
Eggs and milk are the most simple

usually to be had in abundance in
most country homes.
