HIS CONSCIENCE IN REVOLT
Killer Of Condors Refused to Practice
Profession for Any PaItry
Remuneration.

In his book, "In the Wilds of South
America" Mr.. Leo E. Miller tells US
that when he went into Argentina on
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 recosd for one day was
ia. Naturally, they had become
greatly reduced in number, for con.
dor lays no more than two eggs, and
II 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
doris had gathered about to feast lie
pulled a-rope and ensnared them. On
ore occasion he shared 81 at one
throw of the net. The captured birds
were dispatched with 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 it 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
dred birds We're 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 wonderful, magnlfi-
cent and rare a bird as the condor for
ten pesos each? No, senior Not me -

Emily Dickinson.

She was never known TO have a
lover. She seldom left her fathers
house in Amherst, Mass, and when she
crossed its threshold ii was to wander
alone in the quaint garden. And she
has written SEINE of the most impas-
stoned verse in modern literature. Her
solitary life set into the frame of her
glowing verse is the answer TO the
question, do writer's have to go
through the varied phases of. life to
know love'?' Emily Dickinson was
born in Amherst in 1880. She died
there in 1886. OF her extraordinary
verses that were witchery of new
forms of expression, regardless Of
poetic rules, prominent clergyman
and distinguished author of New Eng.
land, Thomas Wentworth Higginson,
said, "When a thought takes your
breath away, a lesson on grammar
seems impertinence."-Chicago Jour
nal.

Extend body fat downward on the

Kneel, wiring hands, mediate up

groan twenty-five times.
Assume sitting position, hands or
hips, sway gently to and fro, and
concentrate on proiiteering until a
generous frothing at the mouth sets
in, till exhausted.
Collapse on floor, grovel vigorous

tFrom Chicago Tribune, Jan. 81
Imagine, Mr.. and Mrs. Chicago. an
Utopia where there are no police
men, no robbers; where human e IN
duct is based upon personal code
of honor which is never violated;
where, for purposes of daily CONNER
cial transactions, ones word is
equivalent to a government bond
Imagine that, if you can, which
YOU can't, and we will introduce you
TO Mooseheart, site of the complete
child's republic. where 500 orphans
are achieving realization of many
blessings of which Plato dreamed,
and many more beyond his comprc
tension. And chief OF these is the
blessing of Americanism.
Mooseheart. which was once one
OF the finest stock farms in Illinois,
comprising 1000 acres, is situated
rear Chicago, in the Fox river val
ley. The child's republic is known as
the school that trains for life" sup
Ported by the Loyal Order of Moose
1t is the realization of the dreams o.
James j. Davis of Pittsburgh, Pa,
director general of the order.
Great Ideals are on trial at Moose
heart. One is that of self-goyernment
for the orphan inmates, the ages of
whom range from l year to g. They
lave their self conducted bank, daily
newspaper, store, and all other APP
purtenances appertaining TO modern
communal life. Neither the store nor
the bank is run for profit.
The educational system is most
thorough If under and above 8 the
child starts in the kindergarten.
After that there are three classified
tions-children between and II
years old are assigned to the acade-
mic division, between II and IA to

Beauty Due to Geometry.

Why is Greek statue, building or
vase of the best period more beautiful
than statue, building or vase of any
other nationality or period? Jay Ham,
bidge, an American, thinks he knows.
He says IL is because every Greek
work of art conforms to definite geo.
metrical proportion which he has dis
covered. Hambidge has profoundly
impressed officials of the British mu-
scum and art authorities to the extent
that the London Times carried two
columns about his dynamic SYM
metry" on the editorial page of its edu-
cational supplement.

OH exclaimed the bunny gentle

Just then.
But, to the bunny's surprise, the UNI
brella wouldn't stay up. No sooner was
raised than suddenly It came down,
Just like tent when the poles break

away he splashed through the rain,
not getting any of Uncle Wiggily's souse
at ALL
And, no sooner had the bad chap
gone than the rain lstopped. the sun
shone and Uncle Wiggily didn't need
the umbrella at all. He reached the
school just as the squirrel boys were
coming out.
What's the matter with your UNI

"Oh, it's just busted" Billie answered
cheerful like. 1T won't stay up less
