SAV13 TUB PRAIRIE CHICKEN.
The Nebiaska state game warden
ins made a few recommendations tc
he legislature for pi election of the
state's game. He has failed to make
my mention of the prairie chicken ,
vhlch needs protection more than all
ither sorts ot game In the state today ,
The prairie chicken Is almost c.x-
Inct In Nebraska light now. Another
icnson or so will put It out of bust-
less altogether. Now Is the time for
ill good men to como to the aid of
his characteilstlc fowl of the plains
Down In Kansas they are tr > Ing to
; et piairlo chickens back Into the
tate by Importing thorn. The tragedy
if Nebraska's situation ought to bo
eon in the sister state's condition.
The piesent state legislatuie should
uo\ido for nn absolute closed season
ipon the praliio chicken for sovcinl
eais Cold weather won't hint them
nid shooting will Under present con-
lltions the chicken can bo shot for
hieo months nnd a half In this state ,
ihlle the quan , which never could be
; Illed off by the gun , and which Is af-
ected alone by se\oio wintois , can be
hot but fifteen days.
The season on quail should bo in-
teased and the season on clue kens
hut down altogether
Back In Now England the quail has
eon shot for n century , and Hill lb ns
ommonplnco ns In the newer wost. It
3 claimed by some sclonllbts , oven ,
tint shooting quail tends to Increase
hem rather than diminish , since by
cattorlng the coveys , mating is ef
fected which produces more eggs ai
moio > oung than where the sun
family remain together season aft
season.
In the Interest of a plctniosque fc
tine of Nebraska , and In the Intore
of spoil , the present loglsifitu
should make these changes.

My boss Is too peitickulai about little

lives a little wajs out in the country

You can't convince a man of join

but the betting nigument will some
times accomplish moio than the vet

IF ONLY.
If congress now will only
Lot "insinuations" drop ,
Accept the presidential explanation , 'fL. l
And go to saw Ing wood , there's time
Before this session stops
To pass some greatly needed legisla
tion.
If this londency of congress
To sec presidential moles ,
Oblivious of the beams In their own
eyes
Should cost these honored critics
Many patilotlc votes ,
They need not tieat the matter with
snrpiisc.
The affair of those Brownsvllllarrs
Whom the president dlhchnrgcd ,
Rocolved , in sonatoiial attention ,
Enough of valued tlnio
To make It seem unduly large
And to rnnlto the nation ilso in contra
vention.
If congiesslonal log-rollors
Would stop pooling for a boosl ,
And work for the best Interests of the
nation ,
Tnoso swiit Increasing dolicrv
Would soon bo much i educed ,
And none would suffer by the Innova
tion. \f
If tlio demon of self-interest
Would relax his grip on man ,
And brother-love control the situation , fi
Thoro'd bo little cause for any
Of this fuss and feathers then ,
Or for nine-tenths of our present legis
lation. i
