you have evidently been doing, attract as little attention as possible, do not make fuss about the newspaper men camera creatures, and idotS generally letting it be seen that you do not like them and avoid them, but not letting 1 them betray you into any excessive irritation. I believe they will soon drop you, and it is just an unpleasant thing that you will have to live down. Ted, I have had an enormous number of unpleasant things that I have had to live down in my life at different times and you have begun to have them now. I saw that you were not out on the football field on Saturday and was rather glad of it. as evidently those internal idots were eagerly wait ing for you, but whenever you do go you will have to make up your mind that they wil make it exceedingly un- pleasant for you for once or twice and you will just have to hear it; for you can never in the world afford to let them dirye you away from anything you intend to do whether it is foot ball or anything else, and by going about your own business quietly and pleasantly. doing just what you would do if they were not there. generally they will get tired of it. and the boys themselves will see that it is not your fault, and will feel if anything, rather sympathy for you. Meanwhile ] want you to know that we are all thinking of you and sympathizing with you the whole time; and 1t is a great comfort to me to have such confidence in you and to know that though these creatures can cause you a little trou- ble and make you feel little down. cast, they cannot drive you one way or the other. or make you alter the course you have set out for yourself
 We were all of us. I am almost ashamed back in the White House, simply be- cause we missed Sagamore Hill so much. But it is very beautiful and we feel very ungrateful at having even a passing fit of blueness, and we are en- joing it to the full now. I have just seen Archie dragging some 50-foot of hose pipe across the tennis court 10 play in the sand box I have been playing tennis with Mir. Pinchot who beat me three sets to one, the only deuceset being the one I won.
 This is just an occasion to show the stuff there is in you. Do not let these newspaper creatures and kindred idiots drive you one hairs breadth from the line you had marked out in football or anything else. Avoid any fuss, if possible.
 White House, Oct. II. 1905. DEAR TED:

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec 11.-Men women and even little boys. armed with high power repeating rifles are shooting down elk by the thousand in southern Montana just outside of Yel- lowstone National park. as the half tame animals. driven out of their mountain refuge by terrible storms and deep snows, pour across the park boundary
 South of the park, in the state of Wyoming, thousands of elk which travelled in that direction when the storms occurred, are starving to death about the fenced in hay-stacks of the ranchmen. Not many of them are being shot, but nearly all of those in Wyoming will starve to death unless Congress makes an emergency appro- priation to buy hay for them.
 H. M. Albright. superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, after doing everything he could to save the Yellowstone elk herd in the west, has now come to Washington to make known to Congress and the people the fact that unless emergency legisla- ton is passed promptly, one of the finest of American big game animals may be nearly extinct before spring. A mere nucleus about which to re- build the herd is all that can be saved under the best of circumstances.
 I National park is generally estimated at about forty thousand individuals although no one can do more than guess at the number. In all of the rest of the United States, where elk form erly existed in millions. there are not half as many elk as in the Yellowstone Many of these elk outside the park are of another and smaller species, and few of them are adequately protected. Tn other words, the Yellowstone Park is the last stand Of the elk against extinction.
 the most splendid and beautiful treas ures Of animal life possessed by any nation. The great elk herd in its wild natural habitat is one of the principal sights for which thousands of people annually travel to the park. Artists and naturalists go there to paint and study them. These elk, overflowing the boundaries of the park by natural increase, keep the adjoining states stocked With elk, furnishing sport to the residents, and to visiting sports men from all parts of the world. Fur thermore, elk are captured. alive in the Yellowstone and sent to any state county or municipality which applies for them. Some fifty Shipments of elk have been sent from the Yellow stone to twenty five different states since 1913. Some of these have been small shipments for geological parks but many of them have been small herds, for stocking purposes. Tn this way elk have been planted in Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and other eastern states where

WIPING OUT THE ELK

l they had been exterminated alnos, century ago.
 Thus the Yellowstone elk herd is truly national resource from which people all over the United States de- rive pleasure in some way. If nronar- ly cared for, this elk herd may vel, De the means of re-establishing the elk over large part of it's original range, which was almost from coas to coast.
 Now the question which the National Park service wishes to address to the American public is this Is the United states as nation, strong enough and ricn enough to protect and save this vestige of its wild life, or are the elk to be allowed to perish for the lack of few thousand dollars, with which to buy hay and land upon which to raise hay?
 The situation of the Yellowstone elk IS a peculiar one. That great na- tional park affords them an adeuuate and ideal range in the summer and during mild winters. When an un- usually hard winter comes, their food in the mountains is buried under deep snows, they are forced to seek lower attitudes, and that makes it necessary Tor them to leave the park. and the all most perfect protection which it af- fords them
 South of the park is the state of Wy oming. Wyoming has always been a progressive state in the matter of pro- tecting wild life. It has created just south of the park the great Teton game preserve, state institution. Here the elk are almost as safe as in the Yel- lowstone, and in ordinary winters many or the Yellowstone elk winter in the Teton game preserve.
 South of the Teton preserve lies the famous Jackson Hole. Jackson Hole is a rich little mountain valley, shut in by some of the highest and rug gedest mountains in the world. In the old days 1t was for this reason a stronghold for bandits and badInen Today it is owned by a few hundred ranchmen, who raise hay in the valley for winter feed and pasture their cat tie during the summer in the adjacent mountains.
 Now these Jackson Hole people sim cerely hate the elk. If it were not for the elk, the Teton game preserve would not have been created, and that much more mountain land would have been available as cattle range. Further more, the elk eat grass outside of the game preserve. which the ranchmen would otherwise have for their cattle. They do not see any. use in having an elk herd anyway. They understand life only in terms of beef. They wish all the elk were dead. and say so.
 Tn very hard winters the elk pour into Jackson Hole. That is what they have done now. There are probably ten thousand CT them there. The United States Biological Survey owns a small hay farm in Jackson Hole where it raises hay and stores it for

Red Cross Seals

People buy Cross seals generally perfunctorily Of it is better buy them that than to buy them all. But if people real ized fully what these seals they would buy of them. they would buy them enthusias ticaIly and would induce others to buy.
 To the average purchaser of Red Cross seals the money he pays regarded given away avoid argument just the same he would make a donation Africa. cheaper give the money for a dispute

 These elk in Wyoming cannot be
 shot m large numbers because the fore the hard winter snows set in. wyoming protects its game well.
 But this is not true in Montana The National Park officials are bitter against Montana. Formerly the open
 season for elk there was only about flfteen days. Then it was heightened To thirty days, and finally to abo,lt l seventy-five days. In addition to this. hunters were allowed to kill females as we'll as males. The slaughter of the elk which have crossed the line into Montana will go on until Christ mas, and it means the destruction of bulls and cows alike. The officials say that there is absolutely no excuse for this lengthening of the season by Montana, and that unless public opin- ion forces Montana to modify its laws. the struggle to save the elk is nearly hopeless.
 On October 22nd, there occurred in Yellowstone Park the greatest snow storm that has been seen there since ie51, and there have been many heavy SHOWS since. As soon as these heavy snows began, the elk were seen coming down from the high mountains in herds of thousands on the rum
 For these that went south nothing could be done; it was impossible to stop them. But at the north of the park there is steel fence, built pri- marily to keep a herd of antelope in AnSof the park rangers turned out and managed to stop about half of the north bound herd at this fence- All of the money in the Yellowstone Park fund was spent for hay. The amount was about s30.000- This hay was hauled to the fence on sleds and is now being fed to the elk. Several thousand of them are being cared for in this way. They will be saved un- less another big snow comes along and buries the hay on the ground. If that happens, these elk will break the fence and go north to be shot or to starve to death.
 Some thousands of elk which missed the fence went on north into Mon tana, and these are the ones that are being slaughtered. The Park Service wishes to make it clear that it does not object to the genuine sportsman who goes out and kills his one elk in fair way. It is desired that the elk should stock the country about the park and supply good hunting there. What it does object to is the length ening of the open season by the Mon tna legislature, which has made pos sible the slaughter of thousands of half tame elk fleeing from starva- tion, and also the blood thirsty way in which the citizens of Montana have taken advantage of this opportunity.
 An elk, it should be remembered, is

 N So 1t is about the polo club. In my day we looked with suspicion upon all freshman societies, ansl the men who tried to get them up or were prominent in them rarely amounted to much in the class afterwards; and l. has happened that I have heard rather unfavorably of the polo club. But it may be mere accident that I have thn1 heard unfavorably about it and in 30 years the attitude of the best fellows in college club may have changed so absolutely that my experience can be of no value. Exercise your own best Judgment and form some idea of what the really best fellows in the class think on the subject. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the men who are merely undeyeloped are really the best fellows. no matter how pleasant and agreeable they are or how popu- lar.
