HIS CONSCIENCE IN REVOLT
Killer of conders Refused to Practice
Profession for Any Paltry
Remuneration.

In his book, IN the Wilds of South
America" Mr.. Leo E. Miller tells us
that when he went into Argentina on
a collecting trip he found an Italian
who claimed to be the champion con
dor hunter of all South America. Dur
ing ten years he had killed more than
sixteen thousand of the magnificent
birds. His record for one day was
ia. Naturally. they had become
greatly reduced in number, for a con-
dor lays no more than two eggs, and
it takes many months to rear the
young
The mans method was TO drive a
burro to some lonely gorge among the
bleak mountain tops favored by the
birds and then kill the animal. He
was very particular in stating that the
burro had TO be fat--a poor one would
not do for bait He then spread nets
about the carcass, and when the con
dors had gathered about to feast he
pulled a rope and ensnared them. On
one occasion he shared 81 at one
throw of the net. The captured birds
were dispatched with a club and the
long-wing feathers extracted, to be ex-
ported to France to decorate women's
hats.
With his accumulated wealth he
built powder mill but 1t promptly
blew up, and he was virtually penni-
less. OF course there were condors
in the mountains-in fact, he knew of
a ledge where more than eight hun
6red birds were accustomed to congre-
gate to spend the night; but the price
Of feathers had gone down 80 per cent.
He ended his speech in a very dra-
matte manner
what" he said, me go out and
slaughter such a wonderful, magniti-
cent and rare a bird as the condor for
ten pesos each? No, senior Not me I"

She was never known to have

REBUKED FROM THE PULPIT
Pastoral Admonltion, Gently Conveyed,
Should Have Been Enough for
Even Choir Boys.

The pastor OF small parish In a
New Jersey town was known far and
wide about the countryside for his
quaint ways and eccentric habits. He
had small choir which he augmented
on special occasions with boys from
the neighborhood. These recruits were
sometimes unruly and he did not al
ways find 1t easy to hold them within
the proper bounds.
In the course of a Christmas morn
ing sermon several choir boys began to
eat peanuts surreptitiously and the
cracking OF the shells was plainly
audible to the congregation. At first
the rector paid no attention to them,
but finally they got on his nerves.
Pausing after an impassionate out
burst OF oratory. ne fixed his gaze
sternly upon them and thus addressed
them In reproving tones:
"Boys-you choir boys, / mean. II
you must eat peanuts in church, please,
oh, please, do not crunch the shells" !"
then turning again to the congregat ti0n.
he resumed his discourse,

Fortune Telling by Bones.

It is strange that in the Transvaal
the belief in Kaffir doctors and their
wizardry has not died out. Nearly
every old Kaffr has always with him a
bag of bones, knuckles and joints of
animals. With these he pretends to
be able to foretell the future. He
throws the "dolod" as they are called,
and then reads out the omens. Should
a white man wish to confer with the
oracle, he must throw the bones him
self Many white men firmly believe
in the ability of the Kafir doctor to
cure them from sundry Ills, and in
Rhodesia there have been many cases
where the Kafir doctors have saved
whites from the ravages of the terrible
fevers that rage there, in addition to
coping with the toothache and other
ills

AROMA FROM THE BUTTERFLY
Perfumes Pleasant and Unpleasant to
Human Nostrlls Are Secreted by
Both Male and Female.

Peculiarly transformed scales on the
wings, or tufts of hairs on other parts
of the butterfly exude an aromatic Sc
cretion, the secondary significance Of
which Is that it appeals to the fe-
male Insects. Some Of the scents pro
duced by the male Lepidoptera are
pleasant to the human olfactory sense,
resembling musk, mint, vanilla, honey
and the like; others are suggestive of
mice and bats. 1t is interesting to no
tce thar in some cases, though glandu-
lar scales are abundantly present, we
cannot smell anything, which probably
means that the aromatic substances lie
outside our range Of olfaetory stimu-
lation just as many rays of light lie
beyond our range of vision.
It may be that the volatile poison Of
toadS, known as phrynin, inflames the
olfactory membrane if we sniff it, yet
there is no smell

MICHAELS, STERN & co.
Clothing To Bear Label
Max Ephrath Local
Distributor

It has long been the dream of the
United Garment Workers and organ
lied labor in general to break into one
of the large clothing manufacturers
and have their goods bear the union
label. This has been accomplished
after a long strike of the garment
workers employed in the large plants
of the Michaels, Stern & Company, in
which the workers proved victorious.
The Michaels, Stern & Company is
one of the oldest and one of the larg-
est, if not the largest, manufacturers
of clothing in the country, employing
about 4500 people The company has
been doing business for 81 years.
Good dressers know the quality of
this company's product. Michaels,
Stern & Company make nothing but
the highest grade and quality of cloth
ing; suits, overcoats, top coats and
odd trousers. These will all bear the
union label in the future.
The Max Eph-Rath Clothing Com
pany, in the Hotel Hamilton building
on South Second street, are the local
distributors and agents for the Mich
aels-Stern clothing. In fact much is
due to the efforts of Mr.. Eph-Rath
and the large clothing concerns that
he is connected with, here and else
where, and other large retail dealers
in clothing, for the victory gained by
the union garment workers. Il was
due to the pressure brought to bear
by these concerns that the Michaels,
Stern Company signed the agreement
with the organized workers. These
efforts should be appreciated by union
workmen.
Mr. Eph-Rath says that about 60 per
cent of his total stock, consisting Of
suits, overcots, top coats and odd trou-
sers, will now bear the union label.
Mr. Eph-Rath is highly pleased at the
thought of this and he is to be con-
graduated on carrying this high gade
of goods bearing the union label
There is no doubt that the union work
ers of the city will show their appre-
citation in substantial manner.

handling of children's cases. At least
one court in every state reported that
children awaiting trial were detained

such separation is required by law in

tent with branding as q myth the story
Of George Washington and the cherry

the idol-smashers have sought TO prove
that the tea party was, In fact beer

Duggan's tavern which animated the
immortal 81, disguised as Indians, ac-
cording to the assertion made by a
member of the United States congress
few years ago. This assertion nat
urally aroused much indignation. and

According to the defenders OF the
tea party, John Duggan, the saloon
keeper who is said to have supplied

seven years old at the time of the
Boston occurrence. and. moreover, was
