letters and cards were not admissible
to the mails in connection with any
Chain system.
In many cases these are extremely
annoying, particularly when the mat
ter is upon a postal card and the
threat is made that misfortune Is
liable to overtake the recipient of the
epistle, unless he or she complies with
the request to continue the chain.
1t seems that quite a number of
people in the northwest have been inv
duced to enter this scheme, because Of
their religious inclination, or in con-
sequence Of the threats made, but 1t
is probable that none of them was
aware that they were breaking the
postal laws and regulations by taking
this course.
A formal complaint to the p~ostofice
department would undoubtedly get the
senders into much trouble, as the
handwriting is generally easily recog-
nized, no matter whether the caro- is
signed or not. The only safe way to
treat such requests Is to simply ignore
them, and thereby not break the law,

Or. Reede's remarkable Indian
drama. depicting the Custer tragedy

the original work of the noted Indian
missionary. Or. Beede merely trans
lated the Indians version OF this not
able incident that occurred on North
Dakota territory.
For many years the Indians acted
out this drama. almost exactly as
It was staged at the agricultural col
lege last evening. in their camps on
the banks Of the Missouri river. 1t was
O great annual even with them and
was finally suppressed by the govern
ment because Of the effect it was haV-

fearing it might lead to another out

The Indians"would not have dared at
tack Custer as ferociously as they did,
had there been even one cannon with
the white troops. The red men had great
ffear of the laundering cannon and
they believe to this day that "Wakan-
tanka," the Indians God, made the SOL
6iers leave their cannon behind because
! he wished to give the Dakotas the vic
tory.
The Indians had great respect for
Custer. They knew his faults but over
hooked them. They did not call him a
ksoldier. They called him a man.

that an Indian can bestow.
DR., Beede's translation is given after
the closest study of the Indians in their
hown camp. With an ordinary white
man the Indians are close-mouthed
and reticent. But DR.. Beede is re-
garded as one of them. n living with
them day after day, he has watched
their every movement, when they did
not know he was watching. He has
taken into consideration he converse
ton of the women and children. as
they worked and played among them
selves. and has given expression to
the real Indian life and thought.
Undoubtedly no other audience OF
white people ever caught such an in
innate glimpse Of Indian life as did
the thousands who gathered on the A
C. Campus last night. 1t was the first
time that DR.. Beede's drama was ever
given and Professor Arvold, who con

During the first season it attains a

still darker in color and somewhat
larger in diameter, BY the end OF tne
second season they r nearly an inc

third season they have changed put

larger in size. During this season they
go into the pupal stage emerging later
on as beetles. The beetles select
grass lands, or stubble lands that have
lain barren for a year, in which to lay
their eggs. The eggs hatch in the TALL
and the insect hibernates in the
larval stage. If this land is put into
any kind of a grain crop in the spring
the wire-worm will eat the germ out
Of the kernels just as they are sprout-
ing. They are especially injurious in
this manner to corn and wheat.
Some Of the farmers this spring

sown. After the first of June they go
to a greater depth, feeding then upon
the roots of the plants n doing
! comparatively little damage.
The question naturally arises as to
what can be done to fields where corn
or wheat has been destroyed. 1t has
been found that late soWn mlllet or
barley does not suffer much from the
wire-worn6, even on and where wheat
had been completely destroyed. This
is in part due to the fact that the
/ wire-worms are working deeper IN
the soil and possibly also to the FUR
Their fact that they prefer wheat TO
barley and millet.
As the wire-worms are not dispos"
ed of in any one season it is equally
important to know what to SOW after
| the millet or barley are taken off. The
land should then be plowed and put in

over. At that time the wire-worms
are still deep down in the soil and are
not likely to damage h crop mater

Duluth Herald: Cleveland notices
of English sparrows whereabouts, and
the city's Observation-Disclosures has a
city forester as we'll as a municipality
controlled street railway and many
other things worth studying-says
that this is due in part at least to the
fact that the community is cleaner
than it used to be-"that there is less
for this winged scaVenger to live on
than formerly"
If this is true it is a particularly
strong testimonial for the cleanup
policy, which Cleveland has carried
out to a greater extent than almost
any other city. Cleveland claimed
the last year it's clean up was so
thorough that it had practically no
flies, which is a contamination de-
voutly to be wished.
Flies, and to a lesser extent Eng
lish sparrows, are proof positive Of
uncleanliness-proof as positive as
A city with flies has no more right to
call itself clean than an individual

ant even to mention.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer, while
1t is sure that the foresters theory
| partly accounts for the decline Of the
English sparrow, thinks that other
causes are responsible. chiefly the at
tention that has been wisely given OF

from rural places ear Cleveland
agrees that there, too, sparrows have

assert hat such improvement is uni

birds cannot dwell together in peace"
The Introduction by importation or
the English sparrow-as fool a thing
as anybody ever did-unquestionably
disturbed seriously the balance of
bird life on this continent. The spar
rows multiplied with appalling rap
idity, and covered the country in
few years, driving out the song birds
a they went.
Perhap they have reached their
maximum. There have been those
who thought this was happening for
several years. Perhaps the growing
habit of municipal cleanliness has dis
couraged them. Perhaps the cultiva-
ton of native song birds has created
| competition for them, At any rate, 1t
is encouraging to hear that the song
birds are increasing; and the sparrows
decreasing anywhere.
The sparrow, though he has habits
Of industry and persistence that are
admirable, is a scavenger and a van
DIAL and a rnarauder and no good. The
song birds, on the other hand, are vi
tally necessary to keep damaging in

stroped thousands upon thousands of

II SPEED MANIA.

Are the new models in shipbuilding
to be credited with the disasters in the
maritime world in recent years, or are
these tragic stories of the deep a re-
suit of the fact that the sailors of the
new school have not yet adopted the
motto, Safety first?" .
The tendency in shipbuilding in re-
cen years has been toward greater
height, a diminished width, and a
length which would have been regard
ed as fatal to safe movement by the
mariners of an earlier day.
Yet in none of the instances Of
tragedy which have been recorded Of
late has 1t been apparent that the cause
had much If anything to do with the
construction of the vessels. 1t is true
that the Titanic broke in two" but it
did not appear that that vessel could
have floated much longer, even If it
had not gone to pieces.
The fact appears to be that the
speed mania. in n of its many
forms, is still the chief cause of dis
asters at sea. The reports of the ac-
cident t the Empress Of Ireland and
the collier Storstadt, in which many
hundreds Of men and ONE went to
their death in the water, indicate that,
in spite of a heavy fog, both vessels
wsre moving rapidly.
Sailors who are left to their OWE
methods are never In a hurry. They
know what dangers there are in haste

Theodore Roosevelt: Cherrle and
Miller had secured & little owl a month
before in the Chaco, and 1t was travel
ing with them in a basket. 1t was a
tionate. 1t liked to be handled and
petted; and when Miller, it's especial
protector, came into the cabin. it
would make queer little noises as a

Miller had trapped many mammals.
Among them was a tayra weasel, whit
ish above and black be;ow, as big and
tiny opossum no bigger than a mouse.
They had taken four species of opos-
sun, but they had not found the cur
ious water-opossum which they had
obtained on the rivers flowing into the
Caribbean sea. This opossu1n, which Is
black and white, swims in the streams
like a muskrat or otter, catching fish
and living in burrows which open un-
der water: Miller and Cherrie were
puzzled to know why the young throvs,
leading such an existence of constant
imnersion; one of them once found a
female swimming and diving freely
with four quite well-grown young in
her pouch.
We saw on the banks screamers-
big, crested waders OF archaic type,
with spurred wings, rather short bills,
and no especial affinities with other
modern birds. In one meadow by q
pond we saw three marsh deer, a buck

their thickly haired tails raised on and.
