drop of about SIC 100000 from the

lures, when the trapped animals
turned on their hunter. But in all
events, Smell demonstrated great
skill with his rifle and brought

Bought Game Preserve
His love for the sport some years
ago prompted Smell to purchase a.
game preserve in the Adirondacks.
near his home at Potsdam, N. Y.
He visits the preserve each fall
Tor at least one weeks hunting.
Invariably small party of friends
accompany him, and an invitation
TO a Smell deer hunt is much
sought after in Congressional cir
cles. His trophies of these hunts
adorn the walls of his Potsdam
home and also the walls of his
Capitol office.

skating and isleighing, his home
being not many miles distant from
Lake Placid, famed for its winter.

Since becoming chairman of the
House Rules Committee, with It's
control over legislation in the
lower branch, Smell has devoted
most of his spare time to q, study
of parliamentary law Under the
House rules. his committee can per.

vacation-which came this Sum

to study foreign parliaments at
first hand. He visited Great Brit
ain, France, Belgium, Germany and
Italy, visiting the capitals and
watching the national pariiaments
at work. He also made personal
study of the parliamentary methods
used.
In all probability, Smell will use
the fruit of his observations as the
basis for proposed changes for the
Improvement of the system now
used by the House of Represen-

Wonders of Nature.

The unpopularity of the National
Parks with a vast and growing ele-
ment Of outdoor people who like
to trod the unfrequented trails or
camp BY quiet streams is largely
based on a distaste for activities
and attitudes such as the follow
ing, taken from a recent Yellow
stone Park publicity letter:
Around the great open hearth
of Old Faithful Inn an interested
party was discussing the alleged
transformations in the underground
cone of this celebrated geyser.
Darkness had. wreathed its mystic
covering over the formation out
side, while inside small groups were
lounging around the lobby Of the
Inn, others dancing to the music Of
a syncOpating orchestra. Shortly
the music stopped, and from the
balcony Of a hotel a megaphoned
voice rang out; Within ten min
utes Old Faithful geyser will play,
and from the tower of the hotel a
giant searchIight will throw its
beams upon the spouting fountain
Of boiling water. The best point of
vantage to observe the prismatic
effect Of the lights play will be
found on the opposite side from
the search'ight."
There was an immediate surg
ing of people toward the famous
crater, while already from the roof
top the rays of the searchlight be-
gan playing upon the crater forma-
tion and then upon the groups of
people making their way toward
the now restless mouth of the
geyser.'

East and West

Game administration is becoming
national rather than sectional. This
is perhaps largely due to the diffu-
sion of big game animals from the
West into Eastern states, and the
study by Westerners, of the latest
principles of game administration
rracticed in the East. Recently
Seth Gordon, secretary of the Penn
sylvania game commission, famed
for it's policies, William Adam of
the Massachusetts, commission, with
Major Goldman Of the Biological
Survey, made an exhaustive study
of elk and deer herds in Jackson's
Hole, Wyoming, and in southern
Utah. ACCESSIBILITY of extending
the range of these animals more
generally in the East, was one of
the objects.

Education or Schooling.

The average boy or girl in high
school sees his education as merely
following prescribed rules and COW
ering a course laid out. Our schools
fail if they do not break down that
idea very early in the school life Of
the child. Giving a boy or girl a
half dozen text books and giving
them to understand that they will
have to learn what's between the
covers during the school year, gives
them an erroneous impression of
what they're in school for OF
course it is as impossible to mould
the education IF a boy or girl, as
impossible as it is to make us all
alike in our other requirements.
No two students will get the same
thing out of a years schooling,
and it would be lamentable if they
did Education merely guides the
way to the attainment of know
ledge. What one gets from days
schoo ing depends entirely upon
the child, much as we have come to
blame the teacher for the short
comings of the child.

Pleasure.

Pleasure.
What most people seek is plea
sure-not work. And in the seek
ing they generally derive more fun
than in its actual realization.
Pleasures differ just as all human
tastes do. A man with wide ex-
panse of brow can live happily all
his life on literature, music and
art, but the ordinary human wants
a little fun now and then.
There are several million varie-
ties Of pleasure, and most of them
are harder on the system than
work. If men had to walk in the
hot sun all day pursuing the elus-
i've golf ball, the industrial com
mission would look into their case.
A man will spend valuable time
and large sum of money trying
to shinsup mountain peak several
thousand feet high because he
thinks it is pleasure. But if the
elevator broke and he had to walk
several flights Of stairs, he would
raise a terrible fuss.
Pleasure is anything you don t
have to do Baseball is the great
est sport in the world until you get
good enough to draw salary for
playing, and then it is work.
Driving an automobile is plea
sure and some spend a nice pile of
money each year for the privilege,
but any taxi driver will tell you
his job is one Of the worst in the
world.
Some men find pleasure in a
quiet game Of checkers and others
in reading the newest book on sci
ence. Other men can not enjoy
themselves unless they have money
on a game Of chance and others
think it is sport to watch two big
huskies beat each others faces into
hamburg steak.
Some men get their fun trying
to swim the English channel and
others by batting an innocent look
ing cloth-covered rubber ball back
and forth over a net.
Mems tastes in pleasure have
largely determined the progress of
the world. War was once a lead
ing amusement and watching the
Christian martyrs devoured by
Wild beasts was regarded as a noble
pastime.
We are a bit more particular now
about our amusements, but high
salaried movie actors still amuse us
with stories that never happened
and probably never will and when
q funmaker turns a gasoline tank
into 60-horsepower car and goes
like q juggernaut through town at
mile minute, no one has the
heart to lynch him because it is his
pleasure.
When we can get our pleasure
cut OF driving rascals out of office,
swatting the law breakers and in
flicting awful surprises on the
suffering in the shape of goodfel-
lowship, you may be assured that
the millennium has arrived.
