GETHSEMANE


In golden youth when seems the earth
A summerland OF singing mrth,
When souls are glad and hearts are light
And not a shadow turks In sight.
We do not know IT, but there lies
Somewhere yelled under evening skies
A garden which we all must see
The garden Of Gethsemane
With joyous steps we go our ways,
Love lends a halo to our days.
Light sorrows sail like clouds ufar.
We laugh and say how strong we are.
We hurry on and hurrying 20
Close to the border land of woe.
That waits for you, and waits for me-
Forever waits Gethsemane
Down shadowy lanes. across strange
streams,
Bridged over by our broken dreams.
Behind the misty caps Of years,
Beyond the great salt fount OF tears
The garden lies Strive as you may,
You cannot miss II on your way
All paths that have been or shall be
Pass somewhere through Gethsemane.
All those who journey, soon or late,
Must pass within the garden gate,
Must kneel alone In darkness there.
And battle with some fierce despair.
God pity those who cannot say,
Not mine but Thine" who only pray,
Let this cup pass" and cannot see
The purpose OF Gethsemane

killing animals and for the suppress.
sion of wild animals affected with
rabies in the western states. An eX.
tract from the recently issued annual
report of this bureau follows:
During the fiscal year IA force of
from 400 10 500 skilled hunters was
employed under the direction of the
various inspectors. The salaries of
part of the hunters are paid from the
federal treasury and of the others
from cooperative funds supplied by
the states or by contributions from 10.
cal organizations and individuals. As
heretofore. the hunters are not permit
ted to receive bounties, and the skins
taken by each become the property
of the federal government, the state,
or the organization or individual pro-
viding the money for salary. Skins
taken by federal hunters during the
year netted the federal government
ST6,12S.56. which has been turned into
the United States treasury, making the
total received by the government from
this source TO date Sl97, 3S737.
The number of skins or scalps taken
by official hunters during the year Is
as follows: Wolves 5S4; coyotes,
27100; mountain lions, 149: bobcats.
4,123; Canada lynxes. 43; bears, 81.
In addition, as result of poisonous
operations so many dead coyotes are
reported by stock growers to have
been found on the ranges where poi
soning operations We're conducted that
II is safe to estimate the number de- |
stroyed in this way as more than
equaling tina approximate $4,000 preda.
tory animals of which the skins and |
scalps were taken.
Predatory animal hunters are d. |
rected to consider bears under ordl.
nary circumstances as game animals
and have positive instructions to take
every precaution not to kill any ex.
cept those known to be destructive
to live stock. Unfortunately, occa-
sional unoffending bears are taken In
traps set for other animals, thus max.
Ing the number Of bears killed during
the year considerably larger than
would otherwise be the case. The
vast majority of bears are inoffensIve
so far as injury to stock Is concerned.
but occasionally individuals In all
parts of the range country become
stock killers, some Of them being no.
toriously cunning and destructive in
their activities. Naturally such ami
mails must be eliminated, and the more
this is done the less preiu.
dice there Is likely to be created
among the stock growers against all
bears.
From much study and experimental
tion, great improvements in methods
Of poisoning predatory animals have ,
resulted. Larger and more thoroughly
organized poisoning campaigns than ,
ever before attempted were conducted $

The government hunters captured dur.
ing July.
In western Colorado. In an area OF
about 10 miles In diameter which was
poisoned two successive, years,
through cooperation between local
stock growers and the bureau, sheep
owners reported formerly loss Of
about % sheep day throughout the
season, but the destruction Of preda-
tory animals has been so thorough
that at present the losses are nominal.
and sheep are reported to range freely,
sometimes unattended for several days
in succession, without loss.
In New Mexico, the wolves. which
were estimated to number between
800 and 400 at the time the campaign
began there. have been reduced to less
than 30 individuals, and this number
Is now being steadily decreased by
the persistent campaign against them.
These remaining wolves are mainly ex-
perlenced adults, causing annual
losses of live stock amounting to
about $1,000 each. In southern New
Mexico the stock of wolves Is con-
stantly renewed by stragglers from
the mountains Of northern Chihuahua.
In addition to the ravages from the
native predatory animals. live stock in
parts Of Texas, Arizona and other
states suffer from depredations by
dogs which have gone wild and have
taken up the predatory life of wolves.
In some places the dogs join the
wolves. and the half-breed offspring in
crease the packs.

res occur In the West, several of them
having wide ranges and existing In

tlnuous Investigations are being made
to provide improved methods Of
and Of organization for
their destruction. The poisoned grain
used for operations against ground
squirrels on private lands is prepared
under the supervision of field repre-

local organizations. In this way 1,349
