DUBUQUE'S HERMIT
Is A CHANGED Man

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Aug. 2o.-Bereft
of his wild bird pets. F. H. Rhom-
berg, Dubuque's nature loving hermit.
is a changed man.
For more than a score of years he
has surrounded himself in his home on
rolling bottom land of the Mississippi
river with song birds that Learned to
love their captivity. But as the years
ran on the state lawmakers forbade
.caging song birds, and recently the
old man was arrested, fined and the
birds set free.
In one cage larger than the rest a
beautiful Kentucky cardinal fingered
when q. recent visitor called. It's door
was open.
He will never 60" said the lod man,
wiping his brow with a bandana as he
gazed upon the row OF empty cages.
fHe is the one friend 1 have left, be-
cause the law tells me that 1 am
abusing my friends the birds, for
whom I have always labored and
loved.
There you see." and going to the
window that overlooks an orchard,
meadow and strip of rolling hills, he
pointed to a host Of bird houses and
natural bathing pools.
If that is abusing the things I
love-" he said, then ] am guilty"
Squirrels, rabbits, with young, cats
that refuse to bother the birds, and
two great mastiffs, held in leash by
heavy log chains, completed the life
Of the little farm home.
The birds were his dearest possess
sion. Hundreds more of them built in
the vicinity of his home. Fearful of the
law, yet with desire to aid the crea-
lures he has ministered to so long,
the old man still prepares food for
the songsters and watches them low
ing as they Fly to him for the delica-
cies he always has.
He does not fondle or caress them
now. He is afraid of the law.

RAISING HAY FOR
HERDS OF BUFFALO

YELLOWSTONE PARK. Wye, Aug.
2o.-Tt's daytime on the 1900 acres of
ranch land maintained in Yellowstone
for the wild game.
Six hundred tons OF hay are being
raised this year for the buffalo herds
alone. For 1YeIowstones winters are
long and severe and unless food IS
provided the buffalo and elk would
drift down the valleys and out of the
park.
Three ranches are operated as part
.of the parks game protection pro-
gram.
This year a drift fence" is being
built to prevent the buffalo from
drifting to the lower ranges before
winter SHOWS make 1t desirable to let
them roam in the lower valleys. 1t is
seven feet high and of such strength
as to Withstand the terrific onslaughts

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Bear pressure
increased in wheat today, and Deem
Der wheat and all deliveries OF corn
sold at new lows on the crop. The II
quotation which has been in evidence
in coarse grains of late extended to
wheat, and while there was fair
showing of strength early, the advance
was short-lived.
Trade was not large, however, and
was mainly Of local character, with
some buying of September wheat at
tributed to seaboard account. Prices
closed weak, 2 IL to &c net lower, with
September at LA 1-2@1143-4. and
December at LIS 1-4@1.I5 IL. Corn
closed weak, a shade under the open
ing, with September at 81 1862,
while oats closed Lac higher.
Provisions averaged somewhat lower
with some buying Of lard credited 20
packers, while commission houses sold
on the break of 25935c in hogs and
weakness in grain.

placed by motor driven machine. The
old time vehicle will not be cast en-
tirely aside. however, police officials
said, but will be held for possible SER
vice when winter SHOWS make the mo-

those which cater to foreigners in the
