Mr.. Gladstone once confessed
that only twice In the whole course
Of his career be had been afflicted
with sleeplessness. The first occa-
sion was during the formation of
his first cabinet, when he lay awake
one night trying to think out how
certain ministers would agree with
one another. His second sleepless
night was due to a gale Of wind.
He had almost cut through the
trunk Of a large chestnut that after
noon, but had left the tree standing
IN order that Lord Napier who was
coming next day might see it.
Hearing the wind. he lay specuIat-
ing what we're the chances Of the
tree remaining standing.

BIRDS KEEP us ALIVE

| Birds lire to eat. TX ia lucky foi
man they do, for il the birds did
not breakfast man would not dine
soma years ago a French scientist
told the world that il all the birds
should suddenly die man would
have only years life left to him.
The Frenchman proved his point to
the satisfaction of other scientists,
, but laymen laughed and tho usual
proportion of them kept on killing.
It always has been my belief that
the sin Of bird persecution had its
beginning with other sins in the
garden. Adam probably saw e robin
picking away at cherry and IN
stantly said, 'sThe bird 10 thief. I"
Then Eve very likely saw . scarlet
tanager summing itself and straight
way coveted its plumage. So II Is
that the hand Of man and the head
of woman have been raised against
the bird ever since.
Why should not a robin or a
cedar bird or catbird or any other
bird eat an occasional cherry Their
dinners Of cutworms, caterpillars
and other things noxious make
cherry dessert their due.
How much does bird eatS Take
the robin az an example. IL eats
at certain seasons of the year eoout
double its weight in insects and
worms every day. A man in order
to satisfy an equally well developed
appetite would have 10 est about
800 pounds of food all told at his
three daily meals. To do this he
would need to be thirty feet tall
ten feet thick from front 10 back
and about five feet across the shout
tlers.
The birds dinner hour begins at
sunrise and ends an hour after sun
set Amy legislation looking to the
shortening Of it's hours Of labor,
which are coincident with it's hours
Of eating, would bring famine. All
the song birds and all the silent
birds give their service to man and
they ask no pay for ii except to DO
let alone.

DATA GATHERED
IN LEGISLATURE
Plan TO Amend State Constitution and

By Register Jenness of State Land
Board In Boise Capital News.
1.-The laws of Idaho are, in large
measure, made up of fads and hob
bies expressed in language so ambi-
guous. contradictory and meaningless
as to make many Of them useless and
laughing stock. and should be inn
mediately amended, revised, and
where necessary repealed by men
qualified to do the work. We hold
that no body of men, for the most
part inexperienced, can, in brief
session once in two years be expect
ed to enact suitable laws. We favor
a plan by which state legislation
shall be enacted by commission
which shall sit in a continuous body
