there is any one influence which has

the same railroads which now are

SENSIBLE Mr.. STEPHENS.

On the question of game preservation
T. c. Stephens. of Sioux City, talked
good sense TO the members of the
State Park and Forestry Association
at its meeting in Des Moines. He
would pay The salary of the game and
fish warden from the state treasury,
put deputy wardens under civil service,
and establish fish and game commits
sion Of FIVE men including lawyer,
sportsman, a fish expert, and an au
thority on birds. Some changes in the
law proposed by this Mr.. Stephens, who
seems actually to seek game preserva-
ton along with sport are:
Make state laws conform with fed
statutes.
prairie chickens. grouse, Wild turkey
and similar fowl
Limit hunters to ten birds a day.
possession to fifteen.
Prohibit unnatural!zed residents from
obtaining licenses or carrying guns
Provide for conservation of lakes Is
breeding places for birds and wild
fowls.
So far as the five year closing IS
concerned such a closed period would
make extra good shooting for one fall
Immediately after the reopening fol-
lowing the closed period. 1t is doubt
full if it would have any other effect
for the birds will be shot down closely
every season. Further hard winter
and Wild turkeys may be dismissed.
We shall never have wild turkeys for
sport in this state again whatever we
may do. The other provisions should
be adopted by the legislature without
question. So fas as quail are con-
| cerned northern Iowa would not OPP
pose a proposition to protect that
gentle and useful little bird from year
end to years end.
! The zen man limit 90 large enough.
But it should go farther and limit the
number Of birds any one person may
kill in single season to fifty. That
| would be better than a closed season
Of five years. 1t would prevent the
game hog and hunting loafer from
cleaning out every head of game in
a neighborhood by hunting every week
day and Sunday.

is to take over the game machinery and
put the gun license into the general
treasury, pay wardens out of the gen.
on the game question as on other i'm
portant matters.

TWO MEN AND THEIR WIVES.

The man came along with his little
son, a mighty pretty boy and bright as
a new silver dollar. He was proud Of
the boy, proud as Cuffey. And the lad
was one to be proud OF. Nice looking.
we'll behaved and interesting as well
as interested.
No. the child was not born to him
and his wife. They adopted him.
Sought him out IN an orphans home,
homeless baby and took him to their
arms and their hearts. Glad of it?
Simply and wonderfully glad and
thankful And they should be. He is
their child as much as tho he had been
born in their home. They are his
father and mother The probabilities
are that they never think Of the fact
that the little boy isn't their own flesh
and blood. So far as that goes he is
as much so as a new growth of tissue
is of the body upon which i; grows.
The other man came along later. He
hasn't a chick or child. The house
is lonesome of nights. There are no
lights to be seen in the chambers of
his house when folks go past between
IS o'clock and midnight. Just the one
light IN the sitting room and perhaps
the night light at the bedroom por-
there later. Good people. he and his
wife. Care lot for each other. Live
happily together. But there's a touch
of loneliness about that house. The
passerby feels it. Those who live with
it know it better than the passerby
and the neighbors. 1t is too still there
of nights when he reads the paper and
she does embroidery. Too still. Be
cause of the child than never lived
except in a dream.
Who has the best of ii? The pair
with the little boy and the shine of
pride and love in their eyes or those
with the quiet house and the subcon-
scious sense of lack and loss?

certainly it is true that the smaller

activity in social and civic lines these

DOG WORSHIP"
r Rurlin gton Hawkeye,1

A mad dog passed thru Arcadia
lately and bit number OF hogs and
cattle. And now the animals that
have been bitten have developed rabies
and have to be killed. Thus one worth
less cur that was probably valued at
less than nothing. causes all sorts OF
good people heavy losses. and then
they may consider themselves FORUM
ate that they were not bitten and do
not have to hasten to Iowa City or to
Chicago to take the Pasteur treatment.
If. however some one had killed that
dog before he developed symptoms OF
that disease. there might have been
terrible neighborhced feud resulting
from that ldlungs.and good men might
have been killed because OF II. 1t will
probably take another century and
perhaps longer to break the people OF
their dog worshiping habit They laugh
at the ancient Egyptians. when they
are told that the latter worshiped cats.
OF course, II never occurs to them that
there is no real difference between cat
worship and dog-worship.

WHAT TO DO WITH BEGoERs.
dubuque Times Journal

What shall one do with beggars
This winter with some business de-
preston appeals for aims are in
creased. In many places one can
scarcely walk the street without en-
countering some poor fellow sobbing
with hard luck story. Yet after he
takes your coin you may see him en-
tering the nearest saloon.
This may sound severe to some
tender hearted people. Perhaps the
newspaper men are apt to take a
pessimistic view. They have long dealt
with cornwall roaming gypsies in all
times, good and bad. Usually they tell
their story In their breath. The kind
est thing for many Of them Is to turn
them over to the public authorities.
This winter good many out-of-
works honestly seek a job. One can
not always examine too closely their
record. The strain Of idleness breaks
down moral fber. The man who would
he had work may spend money for
drink when wandering.
No willing man ought to go without
food. There ought to be reserve OF
honest work at some public institu-
ton that could be done by penniless
man
II one gives to the ordinary beggar
he feels that he is simply swelling
the revenues Of vicious resorts, and
helping break down poor mans char
acter. If one refuses he regrets what
seems his own stinginess. The provis-
ion Of public chance to work gives
the citizen a chance to test out the
worthiness of those who ask his help.

The erave.s Of tho Brave.

Now. II you want to know what Is
the supreme showing Of courage in
war, 1t is that called for and shown by
the field artillery riders.
y they are not under fire already
as when I first saw our gunners race
into action at Elandslaagte-they have
to wait until probably the opening OF
fire by the battery brings them under
the enemy's fire.
Now the point Is, the men serving
the guns are occupied. busy-desper-
ateIy, absorbingly busy; but for the
riders theirs is to wait and look on
to walt and see themselves being shot
at.
