ELK HERDS IN WYOMING NOT
IN DANGER OF STARVATION

Recent statements hat the elk
herds are now starving in the Jack
son hole section of Wyoming are not
in accordance with the facts, and are
resented by the residents of that sec-
ton, who offer to cooperate with the
state and federal government in any
way requested to help cary the elk
through the winter.
About 5000 elk came to the elk
refuge in Jackson Hole to be fed in
December, says the United States de-
partment of agriculture, but con0i-
tons have improved since then, 20

half that number remained about the
feeding grounds, the others having
gone back to the hills.

HOUSE CUTS JOY
RIDES FROM BILL

Recent dispatches from Washington
state that the house of representatives
sliced off another 100000 from the
agricultural appropriation bill when it
was up for consideration on the floor
by reducing the item of 1892, 600 for
treatment of hog cholera tor $780,, 900.
Those who are responsible for this
additional cut in expenditures say
they cut off 100000 worth of "joy
rides" from the department men who
travel around over the country lee
turing on and treating hog cholera
epidemics. 1t is asserted that the
amount of money Topped off repre-
scented unnecessary train riding,
which has been INDUCED in in recent
years and that the amount left, 1892
900, is ample appropriation for the
real work that is to be accomplished
by the department experts in that
line.

from a relief organization in the Unit

arrived, addressed to 'The Priest of

clothes. There was almost every kind

inspection, l smiled at the kaleido-

As we stood before the coach of our
train we said good-by TO the priest.
In response to q noisy meowing from

Po~elcapelle is a pleasant sounding
name, isn't 1t? Something like the
name of the Mexican volcano, that al
ways fascinates the youthful geog-
rapher. Po~elcapelle is not a volcano,
though IL might as well nave been built
on one as to have been located in West
Flanders. After the Germans and the
Belgians and the English had finished
sending shells and bombs through II,
nothing but the musical name Of the
town remained.
Now, one by one, little wooden
houses are growing out Of the battle
field. The people of Poelcapelle are
coming back TO reclaim their land.
There's n house larger, longer than
the others-that is the church. Near
1t is a smaller one, to which you'll be
invited II you visit the lost village.
We were there.
The young priest kicked his cling

There seems to be a revival of interest in the game of checkers in town. Some of the old-time players are trying again to get into form, and before the winter is over there will probably be many inter esting games played. At the present time there is quite a question as to who is the champion of the city. but a certain well known lawyer and a gentleman from the foundry district seem to be the leading contestants for the honor.
 That the Christian religion is neither dead nor dying, but remains powerful verile force, which, combined with the patriotism of the people, guarantees the future of the nation, was impressively demonstrated here Sunday afternoon, when nearly 5000 Catholic men repre- senting the various parishes of Windham county marched through the streets of this city in a remarkable demonstration in honor of the Holy Name.
 Thousands who thronged the line of march and were representative of about every section of this part of Connecti- cut coulwd not but feel that such a dS- play of confidence in faith and the church and veneration' for the Savior means much to the nation so this particular time.
 It was patent to the thoughtful ob- server that here was a force Of good, a force which, having dedicated itself to clean speech and respect for holy things is to be depended upon in any of the crises that may face the nation, to be on the side of right, that religion, under liberal and benefcient government, may continue to furish and expand it's good work as the nation reaches toward the
 great destiny that the founders of the
 republic concenved for it
 All the modern day isms seemed puny
 Sunday as the splendid demonstration
 enacted on even larger scale in every other county in the state, shed light on
 the forces who still cling with profound faith to the Christian teachings of the
 ages, who continue to venerate the nams of Christ and who will stand like noun tains of granite against any trend of modernism that threatens Christianity and free government, the blessings O. which seemed to be lost on mdliitudes n this turbulent period.
