Driven to desperation from hunger, tho elk
would break down tho strongest barbed wlro

tho last two years nro described as heart-rending.
Tho. starving elk, driven to tho lowlanda by tho
high snows In tho mountains, found mont of tho
range fenced In by ranchers. In many cases they
broke, down fences nnd demolished tho hay-
stacks of tho ranchers. They nto tho willows
along the streams, nnd gradually grew weaker and
weaker, nnd llnally sunk down to dto In tho snow.
Immediately they wero pounced upon by magpies

and othor birds, and tfielr oyua wero picked out.
In many cases before tho elk wero dead.
Tho conditions which led up to tho government's
recent action llavo existed for more than ten
years, but tho stato of Wyoming seemed unable,
Blnglo handed, to copo with tho situation. Tho
tenderhearted ranchmeu of tho Jackson llolo
country have helped to tho full extent of their
ability, feeding to tho starving elk ns much as
thoy could aparo from tholr prlvato stores of hay
nnd fodder without putting their own stock on ox
tromo,ly short allowance, tout with all this, it la
estimated that fully 5,000 elk died of starvation
each year.
According to Mr. 8. N. Leek, a prominent
rnuchmnn of tho Jnrkson Holo district and for
mer stato senator, who hns mntlo a special study
of tho conditions surrounding tho elk In that part
of tho country, slnco 1103 about 75 per cent, of tho
ndult elk havo perished of starvation each winter.
Ho states that ho has counted as many as 1,000
dead elk within n radius of half a mllo, and that
on several occasions when driving through tho
country ho has been forced to turn out of his way
ZiKirrAJwrcjvaitfyAXD mimcft&rzp
because of the bodies of deud elk
obstructing the roads.
Tho elk wou'd first eat tho range
clcur of all food, thon turn to the
coarse stlckB and barks, and In
many .places thoy would actually
gnaw tho bark from the fence rails.
When nil these sources of food If
such It muy bo called wero ex
hausted, they would gradually be
gin to loso tholr vitality, spirit and
endurance. Then, reduced by hun
ger until too weak to follow tho
liord, they would drop down by
some rock or brush, to either be
come n prey to carnivorous nnl
mals or dlo a miserable death by
starvation.
It Is estimated that the value of
elk to the reglou of Jackson Hole Is equal to tho
rovenuo derived from Btock raising In that dis
trict. Tho amount of money which tho nnlmalH
bring Into tho country Is very lnrge. Many
hunting parties uro attracted thither every
year, being allowed to kill a. limited number of
elk under certain restrictions. Hunters nro
obliged to hlro guides, packers, cooks and pack
animals and to buy considerable qunntltles of
food supplies. Tho avorago dally expense of a
person hunting In that region 1b at least $14.
Thus a thirty days' trip would cost each non
resldont $120. all of which 1b spent In the vicin
ity of tho hunting grounds.
About 2.000 elk are killed each year by hunters.
Thoro Is considerable poaching. I. e.. Illegal kill
ing of the animals, by men who frequent and
even resldo in the Jnckson Hole region for tho
.v of mnvln tholr HvIiik wholly or in part from
gnmo. Tho law-breakers regard tho elk as their
natural prey. Hut tho lowest In tho scalo of all
tho euemloa of tho elk Is tho tooth hunter the
human bruto who for tho sake of gaining a dollar
or two kills tho noblo creatures, and, taking only
tholr tusks, leaves tho carcasses to rot. Under
cover of the mall ho forwards his booty unde
tected to dealers In tho cities, who dispose of It
to thoughtless purchasers.
Tho government's present work of elk preserva
tion Is unique. Had Blmllnr measures been un
dertaken In behalf of tho buffalo, tho nation would
not now bo mourning tho almost total loss of
those animals, which at one tlmo wero much
more numorous In tho west than are the elk
today.

Sabbath. One Is to make It a holi

by forgetting tho author of tho day.

Contract Shown.
I. Jesun loosing the woman, 13:10
17. TIiIb Incldont Is n Htrong contrast
botweon God's mercy and man's lack
Df mercy. Satan was to blamo for tho
woman's Illness (v. 1G) and at the
same time for tho hardness of the
hearts of these men. The incldenjt
occurred In n synagogue and displeas
ed tho lenders. Ab If to rebuko them
Jesus not only spoko the word oi
relief but nlso touched her, causing
an Instantaneous and a completo cure.
Her response was to glorify God. The
Bight of this Batanlc captive acted In
contrast upon Jesus and the ruled ot
tho synagogue CompnsBlon and an
utter lnck of sympathy. Moro care
for legalism than for the rollef of one
created in God's Image. Jesus seems
to have acted speedily and Is today
calling tho unfortunate to him to he
healed and comforted, Matt. 11:28-30.
Jcbub could havo healed by a word
only, John C: 40-43, but there Is power
also In tho loving touch, which In this
case quickened her faith (v. 13). The
record does not suggest that bercure
was In response to her faith as was
tho case In other cures, Matt. 8:10;
15:28. If the ruler had had a heart
or compassion he too would have re
joiced at tho cure, but he cared more
for ceremonial ecclesiastlclsm than
for the good ot the worshipors and
his emotion was that of Indignation
rather than that of Joy. A religion
that is more concerned with bondage
to tho beggarly elements, tho observ
ance of days (Gal. 4:9-11) Is here de
nounced as hypocrisy (vv. 15, 16). It
Ib to have more interest In property
than in human souls. Ofttlraes hatred
for those who do not ngreo with ub li
covered up by a false fanatical pre
tended Jealousy for the law of God.
Love's Attribute.
II. leaus healing the man, 4:1-6. In
this Incident the question ot the Sab
bath is raised by .lesua himself, evi
dently In answer to their mental at
tltude. for "they watched him" (v. 1).
Receiving no reply, Jesus first healed
the man and then again reminded
them of the caro they gave their cat
tle. Jesus plainly Implies that if they
give care to an ox or an use on tho
8abbath, how can It possibly he wrong
to relieve humanity on the Sabbath?
Mercy and love are superior to cere
monies though these be of divine ap
pointment. The reasoning Is clear.
Love is an attribute of God's charac
ter, I. John 4:8, and therefore his own
ceremonies must give way before the
activities and energies ot his being.
Thus to net upon the principles that
concern the value ot an "or or an ass"
Is to allow the lower to control the
higher, for a man Is of more value
than the ox. These Pharisees wero
exceedingly religious, great for the
"letter of tho law," but they wero
dried up at heart, end connequently
far worse off than tho man with tho
dropsy. It Is small wonder then that
tho master's reply should silence them
so "they could not answer him."
The Teachlng.It Is true that fun
damentally tho Sabbath idea Is one
of worship and rest, but tho reason
for Its existence Is because of man s
need of that rest. That truo rest can
bo found 'only In a truo and intelli
gent spiritual fellowship with God.
Anything, therefore, that Interferei
with or hinders rest breaks the Sab
bath and should bo removed in order
that the Sabbath Intention may bo ob
served. These men were Justified In
leading an ox or an ass to water on
tho Sabbath or to rescue ono in peril.
On tho same principle auy work
which enables men to enter into a
Sabbath rest Is not only Justifiable but
necessary in the Interest ot tho Sab
bath Itself. They cared for cattle on
ly as cattle, their property; wo must
caro for men for their own sakes and
in his Interest and behalf.
Tho Sabbath must never be dese
crated by being made an Instrument
ot harm to man. It Is always dese
crated when, In tho presence of hu
man need, wo decline to render serv
ilco on tho plea of tho sanctity ot tho
day. A false ceremonial sanctity of
any particular day must never bo per
Inltted to destroy tho underlying:, tho
i truly essential, sanction and author
ii) iur a oauuaia resu ujaic;ui) wo
do not each night fully regain our
lost energy and need the 6oventh day
to balance the account Spiritually
we need tho strength that comes from
Ike Sabbath day's rest. Is. 30:18.
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give "California Syrup

A laxntivo today saves a sick chlla
tomorrow. Children simply will not "
take the tlmo from play to empty their
bowols, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
bcur.
Look nt the tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child Is listless, cross, fev
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or nny other children's ailment, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs," then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and In a few hours
all this constipation polHon, sour btlo
nnd fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you havo
a well, playful child, again. A thor

that Is necessary. It should be tho
