It is unfortuna‘e for those who are caught because they do nmot know any better, but for these who deliberately endeavor to evade tha law or to go into the woods with fire- arms on Sunday or during the season when there is no hunting and deliberats- 1y kill game or song birds for the pleas- ure that may be involyed in such a diss play of marksmanshlp there can de little or no pathy. It is well to realize, as perbaps the West Haven nimrods have, that there are state and federal laws with pro- visions for punishment of varying se- verity for those who disregard them. and such realization anmen through the knowledge that the laws not only exist but are being enforced. Sunday hunting and shooting {s Pro- hibited, as is the possession of imple- ments for shooting in the open air. Those who are destrous of golag in%o. the flelds and woods for the purpose of hunting should make it a point to as- certaln what the restrictions are, when it is possible to hunt for the different kinds of game and what the law re- quires of the hunter. Likewise it is well to find out song birds are not game and that the sheoting or weunding of them may prove expensive. Laws and regulations have bacome necessary because of the wrongs that have been committed. Efforts are made to provide game for the hunters who are willing to respect the limitations of the season and the number. Such s for those sportsmen who comply with the various provisions of the law but it cannot be expected that there will be a toleration of those who have neither re- gard for law nor what they shoot. Much bitter experience can be avoided, how- ever, by getting posted on the hunting laws and the use of firearms and them respecting them. COMMISZIONEE BYRNE. By the appointment of John B.

It i after all a simple thing to do the very best each day. The first ides in rolation to labor i the fact of its absolute necessity. This is fundamental to any intelligent discus- sion of the subfact. admissible than the faet that the world must work it it is to live. To bulld up a theory on any other basis is anly pro- ducing @ man of straw. Any departure from this idea will make our thinking defective. The world must have three things in order to live—food, clothing and shelter. For the most part food- Stuffs do not plant themselves, nor g ther themselves into storehouses; this is always the product of labor. Nature only produces cotton and wool in their raw state; it is man who adapts them to the purposes of human need, and i bor is the channel of transmission, Na- ture does mot build houses, but she fur- nishes the material out of which houses are bullt. Man builds saw mills, makes brick, mortar and cement, and with these houses are built. From what- ever angle the matter is Viewed we shall find that labor {s absolutely nec- essary. No other basis is Does the fact of our adaptability for labor throw any light on the subject? Phsyslology shows that every human or- gan depends upon something outside of forerunners. The more fortunate will remain to view the nature-painted iage of the forests. ~Tired ?

Birds we know of as lone- ly songsters now consregate in flocks and mill restlessly to and fro at the seeming caprice of soft winds. There issues much gossip intermittent bursts of melody, a few quarrels among the males, yet the flock holds together, leaderiess, by some stronge, unknow- able force. They may pass a few days in one location then disappear, or they may alight for the fraction of an hour and then suddenly, taneously rise as one bird with a flut- ter and’ velvet thunder of wings to drop to earth again a mile or less crease in movement and doings among those water lovers, the humble, though abundant musquash, or as it is better known, the muskrat. In flelds and back pastures sits the woodchuck, silent, erect, motionless. beside his hole, meditating the changing landscape and the passing season. Rabbits and varying hares wander more of mights and visit the gardens. Weasel, mink and fox live in royal style on acount of abundance of bird life, and work havoc among the game birds. The otter and mink prey upon the brook trout as they swim the streams to seek out locations for spawn- ing beds. On clear nights cornfields sufter from raids of the raceoon; off- times the vegetable garden is visited; the raccoon gets “off his feed” from frogs and shell fish. That lowly yet important member of the animal fam- ily, the skunk, parades a moon-lit path or road, and turms not for man or beast. This is not courage; it is im- pudence, and wild life lets him have his way. And so does men! The redbreast robin s an example of early flocking. In late August, when wild cherries ripen, they may be found ulation of a wide area. Their car- heard on the thin cool airs of morning and evening, are inviting to the ear. One notes a vesper-like sweet- lc at dusk. T have noticed one traft in their character not frequently seen among other song birds. This s the frequent, almost common ocourrence of fights during their migratory flight. Many of these quarrels I have noted were savage in their duration, auite close to tragedy—the partici- | 2 pants were all males. Of a sudden the flock took wing, as though noth- ness in robin m lapdscape. The sumach flaunts a blood- red leaf, while wild black cherry temps discriminating observers with its dark purple berries and their _astringent Dbittersweet have matured and the fruit will save many a winter bird from itselt for explanation. The investigator finds the human lungs made up of min- ute and numberless air cells which are meaningless ¥t there is no air to be in- haled. Breathing is an unconscious ef- fort on our part to carry out this design of nature. There is the same co-opera- tion between the eye seeing and the light to be seen. Either without the oth- er would be a mockery to the Creator, and this is said reverently. Along this same line what explanation can be made of the human hand? Is it not, far and away, the most ingenlous device ever created for doing things? Has any ma- chine ever yet been produced that was capable of doing so much work, na such an infinite varlety of work, as the human hand? Is i not then the teach- ing of physiology that the hand is signed to work I this reasoning true then idlencss is unnatural. It laber in any form ls lpoked upen 2s s pepalty for Mving then life is tragic,. We may rest assured that God does not send his children into the world for the purpose of penalizing them, The only penalty in this world is the one which man himself imposes. If a person commits murder, it is not the judge who sends him to life impris- onment or to the electric chair, i is the man who sends himself there. AW the judge has to do is, after hearing the cs, to announce the . sentence which the man's crime has created. Un- less I greatly misinterpret the spirit of the times, thers {8 a growing tendency In certain quarters to look upon labor, and especially hard labor, as a misfor- tune: a certain curse which nature im- poses for being poor, We are penalized for mot being born rich. When such ideas prevail life can be nothing else than tragedy, and hence all the devices to avold work. The outbreak of law- Tessneas in all its hideous shapes fs, for the most part, an effort to get a living without earning i. One of tho outstanding dangers to our industrial system today is to shy at hard work. The careful student of eco- nomics cannot avold this conclusion. There is an evident disposition, on the part of many, to get what fs called “the soft snaps” where the pay will be big, and where the dainty hands will not be soiled, or the graceful back bent, or the shiggish mind exercised. College presi- dents are claiming that there is a rush for the university, not to be fitted for lives of usefulness so much as to enjoy the sports of college lifs, and as a meansg of escaping the hard jobs of lfe. It this ip the correct interpretation why our colleges are having waiting lists running up into the thousands, the sit- uation is indeed serious. In fact it is nothing short of tragedy, becauss the world’s work—which is thard weork— both for brain and muscle, must be done by somebody, and if not by those who are trained physically and mentally, by whom fs this work to be done? Where is the world to look for leadership if not to its supposedly educated men and women? And leadership involves the hardest kind of work. The world of commerce and indpnstry s suffering today from selt-imposed idlenesn. Soclety is suffering from para- sites; dn other words, from non-produes ers. 'The world has not only always re- quired but demanded the labor of every able-bodied man. Where man power has ever fallen short there has been suffer- ing, becayse when man enters the army e is taken from the ranks of producers, From the very beginning of time to the present, the world has lived from hand to mouth for three reasons. 1 From the conditions of climate. In no single year of the world's history have enough foodstuffs been, produced to keep the entire world from starving for two con- secutive years. The vagaries of climats have had much to do in lessening the amount and quality of productiofi. Frost, wind, snow, hail, heat, cold, floods, droughts, pests, with their consequent femine and pestilence have been great danger factors in the world of produc- tion. 2. The lack of sufficient trans- portation facilities has tended to les-| TP sen any surplus production. More than once has it happened in this big world of ours that & surplus of & given com- modity in one place has rotten on the field simply because it could not be transported to some distant country that was dying from starvation. 3. Self- imposed idleness is another explanation of shortage in production. We can find able-bodied men everywhere who do not work because they do mot have to, They comsume but do mot produce. Such men ought to be ‘penal- One of the things noticed by the the “Drive Slow” elgn which is being en- ocountered more frequently but proba- ized according to the law lald down by Saint Paul: “If any would not work, neither should he eal There were 20,000 school children kill- ed in the streets of American cities last year, and the pity of it is nearly every one of these cases was traceable to care. leasness. ing were bappening and vanished in an austral direction.

You will note that hardly ever do two birds start after the same prey. Warblers migrate in a sort of spectacular manner; leave early in great flocks, represen- tatives of nearly every family among the animated hosts. You may come upon ome of these flocks in the for- e6t. They are never still, ever flitting uttering soft calls to one another and continually moving. It is at night they travel to- ‘ward the tropics, a few hundred yards above the earth and one with good ears can hear the call notes dropping out of the clear night skies like melo- dic jewels.

Such treasures of color gleam along choice haunts in the landscape— the regal fritillary, the violet-tip, the tortoise, the gray comma, the clouded sulphur—all awaiting an _appreciating eye. Silent of voids, rest-legs, ever on wing, what a boon to those who love na- ture at first hand. From the fields comes the spotted cricket's spasmodie chirp.

Moths and other insects are retiring into their retreats, some in- to the ground where they pupate in earthern cells, others bulld themselves a habitat of web and leaves for their ap- proaching change in life, while a mul- titude of insects, having lived a period in the survival of things, await the in- evitable end—death. SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE LESSONS OF SUMMER. Thou hast made summer, Ps. 24.13. Summer! Ts there not z wonderful charm in the word? During the black days of winter and spring how often we send our thoughts a little way forward and say to ourselves, It will be summer soon. So through many a long hour the poor sufferér has been cheered by the home of the warm gunshine and the blue sity of summer. What does the summer say concerning Him who made us. The power to dis- cover the beautiful and appreciate it is a great gift of God. All do not possess it in equal measure; but most of us have it to some extent, and we shouid cultivate the capachy for more than do we discern of God, who is the everlasting and Infinitely Beautifv,, in all the works and glorles of the sum- mer. dens, and yet how simply all is done. ‘How many purposes are served by the same objects!

What minis- der twenty dollars, and said he would bave preferred to make the limit one hundred dollars. His object in this measure was to creats a demand for coin and he repeatedly inveighed against the prevalence of paper and spoke in the highest terms of the French and their large amount of actusl gold and silver n daily use. So persistently did Benton urge all measures for supplying hard money to the country that for a time his opponents called him “Geold Humbug Benton,” but this term of approbrium finally while the gold coins which began in 2 few years, “to shine through the inter- stices of the lone silken purse and to be locked up safely in the farmer's trus- ty oaken chest,” were dubbed “Bentoh's mint-drops.” More than one story is told of his dogged and universal a herence to his principlus on. this sul ject and of repeated refusals by him to accept in change for gold what he call- ed a “pestilential _compound of lamp- black and rags yclept government pa- per.” An eye-witness, for Instance, noted the fact of seeing him hand a twenty- doller gold piece to a hotel clerk to pay his bill; and, when offered notes in -ex- change, Benton made the clerk go and get coin, saying to his companion: “This is the money the econstitution provides for, and T will not have anything to do with any other kind” His son-in-law once saw a precisely simiar scene. Ber- ton exelaiming: “What! Do you want & corcner's jury to sit and say, ‘Old Bullion died of shinplasters? ” On a long journey Benton made to the south in 1837, he says he always gave out specie in payment and was never offered rags; and he thought mo one would carry notes when he could get coln. 1In his war against the United States Bank, in his detestation of Cal- houn and nulification, in his long fight for vindication under the “expunging resolution,” Benton was President Jadk- son's real prime minister and parliamen- tary leader. Among the American statesmen of the nineteenth century, only Jefterson, Jack- son, Webster, Clay, Calhoun and Ifn- coln can be conceded to have influenced the history of their country more deeply than did the great Missourian.
