RUTHLESS WORK Of HUNTERS
Lovers Of Wild Life Aroused Over tho
Wholesale Slaughter Of Large
Antelope Herd.

Indignation has been aroused among
those interested in the conservation Of
wild animals, over the slaughter by
hunters Of at least half the antelope
In large herd that makes its home
in the open country northwest Of
Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
The herd lived unmolested for years
and at it's maximum numbered 800 ami
mails. Hunters began to make clandes-
tine raids on the herd last fall and
kept up their depredations during the
winter. At the opening Of spring not
more than $50 antelope were left.
Prong-horn antelope, once rivals Of
the bison in number on the plains Of
North America. have been almost ex-
terminated. This Is one Of the few
wild herds remaining on the continent.
When the Hudson's Bay company was
the sovereign power on the prairies
the land which is now rapidly selling
to farm settlers swarmed with ante
lope. Now only few hundreds are
left of the hosts.
The antelope of the United States
have shared the fate Of those Of Can
ada. Except for few fugitive bands
in desert wastes all the wild antelope
have disappeared. The greatest herd
left on the continent is in Yellowstone
park under government protection.
Small herds also are flourishing IN
government parks in Montana and
Oklahoma. Antelope are prolific and
multiply rapidly under favorable con-
ditions.
The Canadian government has
been notified of the defamation Of the
Swift Current herd by hunters and
asked to take immediate steps to save
the antelope from determination.

An unusually pretty home we'd
ding took place Tuesday afternoon
at o'clock at the home of the
groom's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles M. Whitcomb, when Miss
Eleanor Gillette, daughter of George

married to Eben M. Whitcomb.
The ceremony was perforated by
the Rev. Henry w. Conley in one Of
the parlors, the setting having been
very prettily arranged. The double
ring service was used. Invitation
had been issued to fifty guests. The
couple entered the parlors to the
played by Miss Lila Allen of Water
vile. The bride is one of Water
ville's most accomplished young
ladies and has been in the employ

exemplary young men, a graduate of
the high school and Bowdoin col
lege, 1919. He served overseas dur
Ing the Word war, and has been a
valued employee of the U. S. Tariff

Der of beautiful gifts. Their many

IN MEMORIAM.
CHARLES B. FERRIN.

CHARLES B. FERRIN.
He's gone away from us to-day,
But those who knew him all can say:
If we had only just begun
To do the good which he has done,
By living life so fair and square,
Let's own, our chances would be fair;
Our future happiness, when DONE"
Would shine as does the glistening
sun.
I'd known him many, many years.
And so can say, devoid of fears,
In all these years. I never knew
OF those with any other view
Than-Charlie sure was clean and
white,
And all who knew him say I'm right
To claim. that now that he is done,
None better lived beneath the sun.
Good bye, old friend; to you I give
The thought, I'll try to better live;
Your kindly ways, still in my mind,
Perhaps will lend to me the charm
OF never doing others harm;
In truth to tell, I've heard not one
Say wrong of you, beneath the sun.
l. Envoy.
Tender and true; great big heart full
of love,
He's sure of a welcome way up there
above.

INSIST ON CLOSED WINDOWS
Antipathy of Europeans to Anything
Like Fresh Air Strikes Amer
leans as Astonishing.

The most difficult thing for an Amer
lean travelling in Europe, outside of
England, is to have a window opened
in the dining room of q hotel or on a
train. l saw an aged French baron at
Mentone enter the dining room Of
hotel with two Wallets and a tame
waiter who was engaged specially to
keep out the slightest draught.
1t is pretty warm in the south of
France in May and the sun was strik-
ing on the glass sides of the dining
room, but the baron felt chill. The
waiter went to each window and
plugged up imaginary crevices with
serviettes and mallet, but still his
patron called out at intervals: III wa
I'm courant d'air." The two Wallets at
his side fed him with the choicest It'd
bits from the table, but he was not
satisfied. Just before l left the eher-
getic waiter found a keyhole which
had not been used FOR a quarter Of a
century and plugged 1t up.
When l was at 7he Krupp factory
in Essen in May, the chief engineer
took me from one building to another
in fine limousine car belonging to one
Of the directors. 1t was a very hot
day and l suggested that we might.
have a window opened. The chief en-
gineer tried them all without success,
and then spoke to the chauffeur. He
said they had never been opened since
the car came from the factory. The
director had only had it two years, he
added.-New York Times.

A cast was engaged for Corinne
Griffith in moral Fibre" which will
be shown at the Dirigo theatre to-
night which in any other production
would have been listed as all-star.
The list includes Catherine Calvert,
Harry G. Browne, Joe King and
William Parks, jr. The reason for
such an elaborate cast is the fact
that the story is very exacting on
the players, and required more than
ordinary actors and actresses.
