STOW RELIC Dr. Gifford of Omalia Tells Hu mane Society All Killing of Harmless Animals Should Stop. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29.—Dr. H. Gif ford, of Omaha, told delegates at tending the annual convention of the American Humane association hero that the "instinct to kill, which is the basis of all* hunting for sport, is a relic of the stone age.” Speaking on the preservation of wild life, Dr. Gifford declared that the time had come when persons in terested in out of door life should consider the necessity of drastic leg islation for the total suppression of the destruction of harmless bird's and beasts. "As a result of so-called sport,” he said, “the birds and animals com monly classified as game are rapidly approaching extinction. Ethically speaking, the only justifiable hunter is the ‘pot-hunter.’ He kills because he needs the food or has to make a living this way, while the sportsman tc whom the pot-hunter is the scum of the earth, kills for the fun of kill ing, and from a standpoint of human ity is ages behind the man who shoots for a living.” A division among the delegates on the question of child insurance de veloped today and a resolution con demning the practice was sent back to the resolutions committee for amendment.

At a motion picture theater recently, young girl and^youth entered and took seats near the center of the house As - soon as they had disposed of their wraps, they began to talk in no rhodu< lated tones. The young man would ala® constantly tap with his foot upon the chair in front. The girl, after discov ering that she had seen the picture be fore, began to outline to her escort what was coming next. At last, a gentleman sitting in front of them, in righteous in dignation, turned and asked witheringly, “Have you two got the foot and mouth disease?” And all because they have failed to learn that the first requisite of a lady or gentleman is to be considerate of others. They are not vicious. They do not go to the theater for the purpose of annoying people. They simply do not think. Hundreds of letters from manufac turers, coal operators, railway man agers, farmers and others have been received at Ellis Island, offering Jobs to immigrants, as a result of activities of the newly organized bureau of i: i migration distribution. £ + ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦+4 + ;£ 4 IN OCTOBER. 4 ♦ - ♦ 4 Nathaniel Hawthorne. 4 4 There is no season when such 4 4 pleasant and sunny spo^s may 4 4 belighted on and produce so 4 4 pleasant an effect on the feelings 4 4 as now in October.
