SEEK PRESERVATION OF ELK
Nation Is Waking to the Danger OF the
Extinction Of Animal In This
Country.

There are. according to estimates
made by the National Sportsmen.
about 100000 elk in this country, Of
which 1900 are in captivity In 125 diff
ferent places. The largest herd, num-.
bering, according to the government
census, between $4,000 and 5000, Is
in the Yellowstone region. In the
summer these elk range in the vicinity
Of the continental divide in the park.
Since the settlement Of the valleys the
elk which are forced to descend from
the mountains in the winter In order
to obtain food have starved in large
numbers. Since 1909, winter feeding
has been provided by the state Of
Wyoming and the federal government,
and recently congress appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase of 1000 acres
neal Jackson. Wyo., where sufficient
hay car be raised each year to feed
the herds during the winter. During
late years the government has expert.
mented with small herds numbering
about 100, which have been transferred
to IS different states for the purpose
of restocking reservations. In this
way it is hoped that wild elk can be
retained in this country permanently.
The Adirondack herd IA rapidly ap-
preaching extinction when the govern.
ment and the state Of New York took
n hand. 1t is believed that after the
fnte of the buffalo many states will 0t.
tempt to encourage the propagation Of
elk in country which is unfit for farm.

there to make u people very rich
more than that, to make them con

treasures wisely. What shall we do

They stood silent, grave. looking
from one to the other and at him.
He extended before him the folded
parchment which he had taken from
tbs treasure chest.
This" said he, I'VE found in the
treasure chest. 1 have brought it
unopened. l have fancied it may
be some document OF Importance to
cur state. 1t was not for me to open.
Will you, your excellency"
He offered 1t to tie prime minister
OF the government. The latter grave
ly took it in his tands-gazed at the
great seal which fastened it-broke
the seal-undid the combining band
and gaZed upon IN contents OF the
parchment thus unfo.ded. His hands
shook-the great sheet almost fell
from them as he read.
Read, then" demanded Count Fred
erick. What is it that you have
found?" 1t was natural for men to
obey his voice when he spoke thus.
1T is strange and wonderful-it is
incredible!" said the prime minister.
Count Frederick caught in turn the
parchment in his own hands. In turn
his cwn face showed amaze, aston
ishment-hIs own strong handu shook.
"Ycur majesty" said he, smiling at
length as he turned toward the cover

In the great throne room Of Gretz-

power Of all the realm.
Count Frederick entered the room
at last-but not alone. At his side
there walked one whose presence was
greeted with q frown by those grave
and revered seigniors-it was q
woman.
Gentlemen" said Count Frederick,
smiling as he saw this reception.

with me one whom l honor. whose wis.

brought this young woman to our
shores. We have found the lost treas

A signing silence fell upon them
all. Alone OF all these-till now al.
most unnoticed. in the corner where he
sat sunken down-tbe weakling king
made some show Of resentment at
what he heard. A snarl, a growl Of
rage al1cst i~narticulate, came from
him.
You, Michael. our king" said
Count Frederick. suddenly turning to
him. growing wrath in his tones now.
Il call you your majesty as yet, but I

The AntjclImax,

The revival meeting was tense In
Its interest, and the evangelist was
waxing eloquent. He arraigned the
laxness Of the church people and pres
ent-day evils in general, and every
n was too absorbed to notice the
growing uneasiness of two lads on
the front seat.
With the question, "What's the mat.
ter?" pronounced in tones of thun-
der, the preacher reached his climax.
The two boys had risen and were
starting for the door. One Of them,
hearing the preachers question,
wheeled and said: Jaw, I got the
noseblced."-The Christian Herald.
