Plan
for Saving
Lives
of Deer
Hooters
By I . W. M OODS
Evidently the writer who recommended
red jackets for hunters lias never been a
hunter himself. It i  well known that ani-
mals and birds have n much keener sight
thim human beings. Therefore if the
hunter was forced to wear a jacket bright
enough to be seen by other hunters how
could he expect to bag any game?
Besides, if such were the case the care-
less hunter would get the habit of shoot-
ing everything that, did not have a red
jacket and the innocent woodsman would
stand a poor show.
The real cause of trouble is ignorance
regarding the proper handling of a gun. If carefil practice in shooting
were encouraged more the, mortality would he greatly diminished.
The hunting license should be issued only to responsible persons who j
have had experience in handling guns.
The lives of our citizens are too valuable to risk in the hands of a |
lot of so-called hunters who know nothing of I rearms.
The gentleman who suggested rdfl jackets will doubtless agree with
me that restriction of the license and not bright clothes will prove the
solution of the hunting problem.

us have never given a thought to the in-

Does anyone really know whether every

anything filthier or more germ laden than the
enough foodstuffs for their support. The ground which for
years has produced a hundredfold is exhausted. The nations
seek virgin soil and in doing so.will come to blows. Africa i
will be the theater of future conflicts.
Civilization, which is progress in all tilings, is like a
mighty wave that rolls onward all obstacles. It sweeps before
it all that was, mankind, animals and plants, and puts in their stead what- j
ever is needed for its support. We know how progress drove the red man,
the beasts of the forest, the trees thereof before its tireless march until
they became extinct. The same thing will occur as the plains of Siberia,
of South America shall be settled and cultivated. The original inhabi-
tants will disappear. The tents of the Lapps and Patagonians will make
room for cities, tlieir feeding and hunting grounds become farms. With
them will vanish those wild animals and plants which are now their sup-
port.
This must occur in Africa as well. The original inhabitants will be
driven farther and farther until with the help of various diseases, which
accompany progress, the black race will be no more. The white race will
dwell in cities where formerly the Matabele had his
hut. Farms will flourish where stood the primeval
forest with its animal life.
It may take hundreds of years before this shall
be accomplished. Then a mighty hand will call a
a halt and progress is at its end. Civilization will
have killed itself.
As the physician gives stimluants to his dying
patient to prolong life, so will silence come to the help
of the exhausted ground, until it becomes utterly un-

NO ONt'b ENEIMY BUT HIS OWN.
A dissipated man v.ho was found
d' d In Ills bed the other day at a prl-
^nt reformatory left a nolo declaring
that lie had "found it In ; -Jible to
ivui! j;ood in this world, fine having
it in for me." and seeklni- lo extenu-
e.tp hi3 failure by the remark* that
after I ;un gone no one can say that
I evci did them an injustice." The
Willi r of that letter was evidently one
of those men—their number is con-
f i.i'iU—who are disposed to blame
everyone but themselves for their lack
of slur s and of whom it is said by
indui." ut and sympathetic friends
that t: v are no one's enemy but their
own, : iya the Philadelphia Inquirer.
I hat is what shiftless and improvi-
dent ai 1 undisciplined people have
been doing since the beginning of
l!m;\ and the plea Is Inadmissible. No
doubt some are luckier than others,
end In case of a few, misforlunes mul-
tiply to such an extent that it does
seem n3 thou.ih they wjre the victims
of an unpropltious and avenging des-
tiny. 1 'ut in the great majority of
eases defeat is Belf-inflicted. To say
of a man that he is no one's enemy
but his own is to utter a fallacy. The
man who dnoa badly by himself must
necessarily do badly by others. He Is
a source of loss and sorrow within
the whole circle of his acquaintance,
and he is not to be excused upon the
ground that he is himself the greatest
sufferer from his wrongdoing.

lials. It is mounting up Into the
three figure per cent. Increases. In
1903 there were 213 establishments
furnishing the trade with plumes,
feathers and artificial flowers; in 1909,
six years after, these establishments
increased to 412. The value of this
millinery product is given at $5,247,-
000 in 1903 and $23,981,000 in 1-909, or
an Increase of 357 per cent., says the
Ohio State Journal. That far exceeds
our increase ifl population, wealth,
salary or personal efficiency. It .rep-
resents a solid, wearisome, crushing
weight on the shoulders of that unfor
tuuate class of people who happen
to be born men, and for whom there
doesn't seem to be any sympathy any-
