Things are really bad in our line"

"Poohr' he said, with a friendly
sneer. "That's all rubbish, my young
friend; there's as much money to be
made now as ever there was. Look
Mt me, for instance; I'm making plenty
Of money, but do look overworkedi
Do ever seem pressed for timel

"You certainly seem to take life
easily" replied the younger doctor
smoothly.

DO BOTH GOOD AND HARM
Results Of Experiments Into the Feed.
ing Habits Of the Pheasant
Are Interesting.

A. @. Maxson, head Of the expert
mental department Of sugar COM
pany at Longmont, Colo, is conduct
Ing experiments to determine whether
pheasants are more harmful than ben
eficial. After many complaints had
been made by farmers, Maxson OBJ
tanned permission from the state
game warden to kill IL Of these birds
and make an analysis of their crops
and gizzards. Thus far he has killed
but seven, leaving the remainder to
be killed after the grasshoppers have
increased in number.
1t has been found that the birds
feed locally. Where the bird had
made its home near a wheat field, the
crop contained mostly terminated
wheat; II near cornfield, corn was
found to be the principal food eaten.
Two Of the seven killed were found
near beet fields, and in each instance
the crops were found to contain beet
pulp and insects. An examination Of
the beet fields showed that the crown
had been eaten out Of many of the
beets, but 1t was also found that in
sects Of different kinds had habitated
the crowns, which gives the impress
sion that the birds may have been
after the insects rather than after the
vegetable matter. Maxson states that
the complaints Of the farmers are
founded on facts, but whether the
damage done overbalances the good
the birds do In destroying the insects,
the experlmenter is as yet unable to
decide.
Should It finally be decided that the
birds are nuisance, an effort will be
made to have an open season declared
on pheasants, in which case they
would soon be wiped out by the sports
mans gun.

King Canute the Great ordered his
throne to be carried down to the sea-

"Oh, WE'LL" said Canute as he dried
his coronation robes before the kitchen
fire, II didn't really think they would
go back, but I'm willing to try any
thing once"

NOT AFFECTED BY THE WAR
Indian Makes HIs Own Dyes and Can
Afford TO Laugh While Other
Manufacturers Worry.

Manufacturers all over the country
are complaining Of the shortage Of
dyes; clothing makers are threatening
to dress us In garments white as
snow; the time Is coming, say the Ink
manufacturers, when we must rely on
the red fluid made famous by Captain
Kidd and other pirate bands when we
want to write a check, but Chem, bet
ter known as Steve, an Indian and a
manufacturer of British Columbia, wor-
ries not.
He makes his own dyes, and wheth-
er any more are ever imported from
Germany. or whether American chem
lists solve the secrets, are alike matters
Of supreme indifference to him. So
long as his klutchman and his tenas,
or, In English, his wife and daughter.
retain their strength, he will pose az
a manufacturer and turn out the same
mat and basket goods, having the
same bright colors rs the utensils his
forefathers used as berry containers
and cooking vessels when the foot of
the white man was foreign to these
shores.
All the specimens Of the handiwork
Of the women shine forth In gay col
ors, and all colors are obtained by the
klutchman, according to the simple
process known for thousands Of years
The black, and 1t is black that win
not fade, is obtained by covering the
rushes, grasses or bark with the black
mud of the swamps, which gives a
lasting Jet equal to any imported dye;
the red Is obtained from the bark of
alder, pink from weaker solution of
the same bark; brown comes from the
familiar bark Of the hemlock and yell

Oregon grape.

PLACING NEW MAIL BOXES
A PROBLEM FOR MORGAN
Federal Authorities to Send Several
Thousand for Manhattan and Bronx

Postmaster Morgan began yesterday
to study the problem involved IN plac-
ing a large number of additional letter
boxes in the streets of Manhattan and
The Bronx He has reached no decision
"a 10 how many boxes will be needed,
but it il expected that the postal
authorities will send several thousand.
A few hundred boxes are stored in
the basement Of the old Postofice.
Many more are being sent from Wash
ington, Philadelphia and other cities.
All arc of the old style. Borough Presi-
dent Marks having decided, for the
sake of public convenience, TO override
the demands OF the Municipal Art Com
mission for boxes of new design.
These could not be ready for delivery
for a cons idersble time.
Members OF the commission declared
yesterday that while a design for new
boxes had been approved more than
eight months ago. and the boxes could
have been manufactured during that
time If the postal authorities had
placed orders, they would not at the
present time oppose the action OF the
borough president. They said that the
city charter provided that designs for
such contrivances as letter boxes
should be submitted to the commission
for its approval, but that the commits
sion had no power TO enforce the pro
visions of the charter Enforcement
might, however, be brought about by a
taxpayers suit.
