elk 10 the region Of Jackson Hole Is equal to the
revenue derived from stock raising in that dis
trict. The amount Of money which the animals
bring into the country is very , large. Many
hunting parties are attracted thither every
year. being allowed to kill a limited number OF
elk under certain restrictions. Hunters are
Obliged to hire guides. packers, cooks and pack
animals and to buy con siderable quantities Of
food supplies. The average daily expense Of a
person hunting in that region is at least $14.
Thus a thirty days trip would cost each non
resident s420, all Of which is spent In the vicin-
ity of the hunting grounds.
About 1000 elk are killed each year by hunters.
There is considerable p~oaching, !. e.. illegal kill
ing Of the animals. by men who frequent and
even reside In the Jackson Hole region for the
sake OF making their living wholly or in part from
game. The law-breakers regard the elk as their
natural prey. But the lowest in the scale Of all
the enemies of the elk is the tooth hunter-the
human brute who for the sake of gaining a dollar
or two kills the noble creatures. and, taking only
their tusks, leaves the carcasses to rot Under
cover OF the mail he forwards his booty unde-
tected to dealers in the cities, who dispose of 1t
to thoughtless purchasers.
The governments present work Of elk preserva,
ton is unique. Had similar measures been un.
dertaken in behalf of the buffalo, the nation would
not now be mourning the almost total loss OF
those animals. which at one time were much
more numerous in the west than are the elk
today.

CONSTRUCTS A FAIRY GARDEN
Remarkable Back Yard Transferma.

Remarkable Back Yard rransfsrma.

The city back yard can be made a
place Of beauty and attractiveness, &C.
cording to A. F. Meissner Of Chicago
He transformed a so by 1875 foot lot
into veritable fairy garden, where
varieties of flowers bloom around a
real pond In which real fishes swim in
water flowing from miniature water.
fall on the face Of a rugged cliff.
The garden is the result Of I've years
work. which began with tile creating
Of pond in the back yard. Leaving
crescent shaped island. on which
stands a summer house In the center,
Mr.. Meissner excavated around It to
a depth of about two feet, lining the
hole thus made with a water retaining
coating Of stones and cement The
earth removed was used In building on
the lawn q half dozen hillocks, to be
artistically covered with flowers. Young
willows planted around the water add
a natural touch. and rustic bridges lead
to the summer house.
When he had finished the pond MI.
Meissner decided that he would have
to revise some Of the existing scenery
Down with the back fence" said
he, and he started In to haul more
rocks and cement. The new idea re.
suited In a cliff twelve feet in height
from the brow Of which rushes a va.
terfall. The fall Is ingeniously con-
structed Of a length Of skylight glass;
which gives an appearance Of depth
and swiftness to the shallow film Of

concealed pipe on top Of the cliff.

An Idea In Carters.

Kant the German metaphysician.
stands at the head Of the class Of tru-
~ great eccentrics. De Quincy, the
Englishman of letters, took great de-
light in making a close study Of this
queer philosopher. One Of Rants hob.
bies in the art Of taking care Of him
self was to avoid garters. He permit
ted no ligature to be placed on any
part Of bis body, fearing to hinder in
the slightest degree the circulation Of
the blood.
He found it necessary at the same
time to keep up his stockings. Ac-
cordingly he had loops attached to
them. and outside each hip he wore a
continuance that may be called box
windlass. These affairs somewhat re-
sembled an anglers reel with spring.
which secured the line at any given
point.
The idea Of this grotesque fancy SO
tickled De Quincy that he often lin
gered on the odd sight 1t must have
been to observe the master paying

Then Hans left him in charge Of the
Instrument and hurried for the train.

Among DR.. George Haven Putnam's
early recollect:ons was a meeting with
Washington living. He tells Of 1t in
his Memories of My Youth" The
Irving home was near YOnkers and
the Putnam family occasionally visited
their neighbOrs. DR.. Putnam remem-
bers one Sunday afternoon when his
father was busy arranging some Of Mr..
Irving's papers and the old gentleman
took pains to give him some word
about his own childhood. His mother
told him some years later, when he
was old enough to be interested in his.
torical events and personages. that
when he was year old the nurse, TAX
ing him out in his baby carriage. saw
at the corner Of Broadway General
Washington passing by on horseback.
The nurse, holding up the little boy.
called out to the general that here was
boy that had been named after him.
and she hoped that the general would
be willing to give the boy his blessing
Little Washingtons were not so
plenty in 1874 as they became in later
years. and the general was quite ready
to delay his ride for the purpose Of Civ
ing greeting to his little namesake.
He took the boy up on the saddle and.
placing his hand upon the little ones
head, gave him a formal blessing.
looked up with interest at the head
that had been touched by Washington.
and then found myself perplexed at
Mr.. Irving's word that I should not see

had rested.

about the incident. and he said.' why.

that Edison should draw an engine. a

have an elaborate design. Edison add

several imaginary parts.

LIBERTY DEFINED.

Standing In his place In the
convention during the Hateful
spring Of 1893. Robespierre pro-
nounced this definition Of lib
erty, which Is almost the best Of
Its kind: Liberty Is the power
which Of right belongs to every
man to use all bis faculties as
he may choose. Its rule is JUS
tice; its limits are the rights Of
others: its principles are drawn
from nature itself: its protector
is the law" Whatever judg-
ment may be passed upon Robes
pierre's conduct, certainly his
thought on this fundamental
question Of liberty was clear
and sound.
But during the years that have
passed we have moved far away
from this view Of what IL I'm
portant in life. There has grown
up. not alone In America. but
throughout the world. an aston.
ishingly widespread belief in the
value Of regulation and restric.
ton not only AZ a substitute for
liberty. but directly In opposition
to It That against which the
leaders Of the race revolted .
century and more ago Il now
pressed upon Us In another form
as a desirable end at which to
aim. Not liberty. but regulation
and restriction are the watch
words Of today. and they are
made so In what Is sincerely be-
lieved to be the greater public in
terest.-President Nicholas Muir

To Preserve Plants.

their roots have taken hold Of the
ground IL to cover them with inverted
dower pots Of suitable size. These
should be In place only during the
