GAME BIRDS ARE MENACED.
Migration of Goshawks Threatens
to Play Havoc in Woods.

BOSTON, November 39.-A warning to
sportsmen and others that a dangerous
migration OF goshawks from arctic
regions is in progress has been issued
by the state fish and game commits
sioners, who urge the destruction Of
these birds, described as deadly enc
mics of native game birds.
The present invasion is said to be the
most serious since that of eleven years
ago, when the birds. owing to a scare
1ty of hare and ptarmigan, their usual
prey, came southwark and devoured
grouse by the wholesale. The goshawk,
which, unlike other hawks, flies straight
away instead of in circles, is some
what larger than a pigeon.

Leonard Is Getting Rich.

Benny Leonard hasn't been a cham
pion for a year yet. but he has been
lighting with considerable speed ever
since the rainy night when he, clouted
the mark of lightweight supremacy
off the Welsh brow of Freddie Welsh.
He has taken in several thousand dol
lars in that time, and only recently
Dick Curley announced he stood ready
to give Ben the biggest cut out of a
S20.0 pot II he would consent to bat
tel Charlie White somewhere in the
west. Benny hasn't taken on Chicago
Charlie yet, but he is likely to do SO
at any time now. even if Charlie has
been relegated to the has-been and
never-could class, in the opinion of
most ring followers.
Johnny Kilbane. the king of the
featherweights. won't have to battle
the wolf the rest of his life if he goes
easy and doesn't throw money away.
Since he whipped Abe Attell. Johnny
has had few dull seasons. In Cleveland
he owns considerable property and is
something of business man. Kill
bane's fortune has been estimated in
six figures and that probably is where
it belongs. For his disastrous affair
in Philadelphia with Benny Leonard
Kilbane drew down more than $4,000
and he wasn't in the ring three rounds.
Since that time he has done no boxing
and says he won't until tie war is
over. at least. But it probably won't
hurt his bank account any to lnger
without the padded circle, for he al

Richie Coined Money.

When Willie Richie was reiening
over the lightweight class he usually
made it a rule not to fight for less
than $4,000. and several of his purses
ran over that. In fact, he pulled off
$4,000 when Freddie Welsh induced
him to risk his title in England. For
his endeavors with Ad Wolgast at Mil
waukee he shared $4,000 in cold, hard
iron men. He had a $4,000 purse when
he met Charlie White in Milwaukee.
and there was another tremendous
load for him to carry to the bank
when he fought Leach Cross in New
York.
Jim Jeffries retired rich man. ami
so did Jack Johnson. They demanded
and received enormous purses for eX-
hibiting their bulk in the ring game
Jack johnson had a well developed
habit OF never stepping into a ring for
less than 100000. and that sum always
was guaranteed him. When Jeffries
met Johnson in Reno for the world
heavyweight championship there was
a crowd present which paid more than
100000 to see the two gladiators.
Jeffries carried away the biggest slice
of this.

Pete Herman,s Turn Now.

Pete Herman, the bantamweieht
champion. hasn't made such an awful
lot Of money since he succeeded Kid
Williams. but he has been getting
along In a fashion. His match with
frankie Burns recently at New, Or
leans set n new record in attendance
and receipts for a bout between ban
tams. Hell took $4,000 with him when
he went home that night to tell the
new Mrs. Gulatto that he had success
fully defended the bantamweight
championship Of the world.
Mike Gibbons isn't recorded as the
worlds middleweiGht champion, but
that is just what he is, and his bank
account proves it. Mike has business
interests in st. Paul that would look
good to many a capitalist. He owns
several hundred acres of Minnesota
farming land, his own home in ST Paul
a summer home and other pieces of
real estate. Mike is an astute handler
of his money and doesn't squander
what he gets his hands on.

JONES AND SMITH.

Christian Herald: Jim Jones is an
optimist, and Sam Smith of the same
town is a pessimist When it rains,
Sam Smith complains that It is going
to be muddy; but Jim Jones, wreathed
in smiles, says that rain is a mighty
good thing to lay the dust. When the
sun shines again Sam kicks about the
dust; but Jim, still smiling, sees that
sunshine dries up the mud. Sam com
plains that business is not half as good
as it was when it was twice as good
as it is; Jim cOngratulates himself that
business is twice as good as it was
when it was only half as good as it
lis.
These two men, living in the same
town and under the same natural con
ditions, see things OppOsitely, and the
one is always miserable. The differ
ence lies back of their eyes, not in
front of them.
The pessimist goes about with a
lantern, peering into the dark places,
looking for meanness and things TO
fird fault about. The optimist goes
about in the bright sunshine, looking
for the beautiful things, and finding
lots of them.
The pessimist not only warps his
mind, but his physique as well, and
his influence on others is decidedly de
pressing. The optimist rises in the
morning with gladness in his heart
sunshine in his face and smiles upon
his lips. The mere privilege of living
is priceless joy to him.
Happiness, it has been said is mo
sale composed of very small gems
Each, taken singly, may be of little
value; but when all are grouped to
gether, arranged and set, they form a
pleasing whole.
One who must try to get away from
himself and out of his natural environ
ment to find happiness will never find
it. We carry with us the beauty we
visit and the song which enchants us
or else they don't exist for us at all.

HARDSHIPS OF A JOURNEY TO

Duiner, WyO., May 1S.-During our

We also passed a ranch which would
attract notice. The fences for miles
were painted white, also the individ-
ual hog houses, barns and all Outbuild-
ings. The house was a large one and
near it stood the little neat cottage for
! the workmen. All the houses were al
so glistening in thir white coat of
paint.
On Saturday night we stopped at a
small place called Big Yet, small as

a lake in the road and promptly de-
cided to remain for an indefinite time.
The other car together with our

and the other Montana mans car halt

The fortunes of war that have

of leading the first army which this
country has ever sent to a battle field
of Europe will not be begrudged to
him by any American. He is the type
of American soldier that his country

its army by, for his career as fighter

which he has been called has approved
HIM worthy of that army's best tradi-

The force General Pershing will
take abroad will be composed of sol
diers worthy of their leader. They are
veterans who already have seen for

is said to have in view the building OF
1000 vessels OF all types with an aver
age of 1000 tons each in the next two

The new tonnage will, of course,
prove invaluable in the event that the

AN IcELEss REFRIGERATOR.

Refrigerators can be made to do
their part in conserving food this sum
mer. Preserving milk, butter, and
other supplies and keeping left overs
and unused portions until they are
needed will be their service. If ice
is not obtainable, an iceless refriger-
ator cooled by evaporation can be
easily constructed. Women demon
starters in extension work. South, of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
tell how to make such a cooler at a
small cost.
This refrigerator consists c: wood

burlap or heavy duck. 1t is desirable
that the frame be screened, although
this is not necessary. Wicks, made
of the same material as the covering,
resting in pan of water on top of the
sides and ends of the pan and allow
it to seep down the sides of the box.
The evaporation from this moistened
covering causes a lower temperature
inside. On dry, hot days a tempera-
ture of so degrees has been known to
be obtained in the cooler. This is the
way to. build it,
Make a screened case 3H feet high
with the other dimensions II by -
inches. If solid top is used, simply
place the water pan on this. Other
wise fit the pan closely into the open
ing of the top frame and support it by
1-inch cleats fastened to the inside Of

in the frame, IL to Is inches apart.

large pan to catch any drip. The pans

covering of white canton flannel should
be made to fit the frame. Have the
smooth side out and button the cover

so as to keep out the warm, outside
air and retain the cooled air This

hooked around the top edge also. TWO
double strips One-half the width OF
each side should be sewed on the top
of each side covering and allowed to
extend over about ~ or 3 inches in
the pan OF water. The bottom of the
covering should extend into the lower
pan.
Place the refrigerator in a shady
place where air will circulate around
! it freely. If buttons and buttonholes
are used on the canton flannel instead
of buggy hooks, the cost will be re-
duced.
