Henry Miller would hare elk In California when elk are to be found no where else in the country. Miller's elk are on one of his many cattle ranches, the Ruena Vista ranch. In the mountains of Kern county, thirty-four miles east of Bakersfleld. Whan the first cattle were driven there the elk were plentiful. Herds of elk grased and browsed with herds of steers. With the settlement of the country the elk thinned before the settlers' guns. When hut a few were left Henry Miller saw that complete extermina tion was close at hand and he Interfered. He chose ths best wooded portion Of his land, containing hundreds of acres of tim ber and thicket In places almost Impene trable, end built about the great arena an eight-foot fence. The fence was left open at places and the natural Instincts of the elk taught lilm In time that It was only within this Ideal retreat, always guarded from hunters and Intruders, thst he was safe. The elk of the whole vicinity took up their home there and their number haa In creased within the last ten years. San Francisco Chronicle. Be sure to get The Bee next Sunday.

But for the presence of a faithful shep herd dog the little daughter of Sam Rex. a farmer at Zlon Station, Ky., on the Lou's- vllle & Nashville railroad, would have been ground to pieces under the wheels of a fast train. The child was playing on the track as tho train enme dashing along. The dog seized the child In his teeth snd dragged her from the track in time to miss the wheels of the engine. When he found out what had happened Rex came to Wllllams- town and listed the dog as property, fixing his value as $500, and said he wonted to pay taxes on him as long as he lived. Buffering from rabies. It Is declared, and having already bitten three Italian chil dren and several small dogs, a huge mastiff was prevented from dashing Into a crowd of children and committing greater dam age by a little puppy at Plains, a village near Wllkcsbarre. Pa. The puppy gave up Its1 life, but saved the children. The cry of "Mad- dog!" had been raised In the street and people were flying to shel ter as the mastiff was seen to be biting at every object In Its path. The children were panlc-strlckcn. The puppy had been among them, bark ing and dancing about In the general frolic. When the panic came It seemed to regard the approaching mastiff as another source of amusement Trotting out from the little ones It ran straight for the mastiff, barking furiously. The mastiff dashed straight at the puppy and its Jaws snapped upon the frail llt'.le fellow. With the body of the puppy dangling from Its mouth the mastiff dashed through the crowd of children and was Anally shot some distance beyond. The action of the puppy had sufficiently distracted the dog to cause It to Ignore the little ones, and when It was shot its teeth still clenched the puppy. The first criminal court In Jersey City was converted Into a dog show the other day. though there was only one animal on exhibition. This was a white Maltese ter rier. Its ownership wns !- "l!pute. which was the cause of the " appearance. One of the claimants Robert M. Rugers of 237 Warren stre.j. Mrs. Eliza beth Johnson cf 283H Seve.itn street was the other. She said the dog was a poodle and that Its name Is Toddles. . Mr. Rugers and Beauty, as he calls it, were walking along Newark avenue, when Mrs. Johnson met him and cried: "There's Toddles!" Then she called a policeman and caused the arrest of Rugers on a charge of stealing the dog. , Mrs. Johnson said In court she identified the dog by the way its hair was trimmed. She further declared the dog was born lot January 6 and had disappeared from her home July 8. . Then Mr. Rugers told his story. He said the dog was nearly 2 years old, and had been purchased by him In New York No vember 21, 1903. He produced photograph of the animal taken last January. 'Charles J. Peshall.' the well known law yer and dog expert, testified that the dog was over a year old. Then the dog was put on a chair and Mr. Rugers and Mrs. Johnson were placed on opposite sides of the room and told to call the dog. "Come here. Toddles," said Mrs. Johnson, sweetly. "Come. Beauty," said Mr. Rugers. The dog admitted Its name was Beauty by jumping down and running to Mr. Rugers, paying no sttentlon to Mrs. John son. Then at Mr. Rugers' command the pots threw himself down and when told to roll over did so. "That settles It," said Police Justice Hig glns. "you take the dog, Mr. Rugers." Mrs. Johnson protested. Rugers walked out of court with Beauty at his heels. The dog did not even look at the woman as she tried to get it back by calling "Toddles."

Henry Miller, the cattle king, Is to save the elk. He Is at work upon a mag nificent country home within easy reach of Ban Francisco. It Is en 1 fed Mount Ma donna, because 'It tops a little mountain of that name; but Elkwood might be a more appropriate designation, for It Is about this surpassing country seat that Henry Miller is arranging a preserve. Im mune from gun and forest dwellers, where tfce California elk may live on In peace to the perpetuation and even Increase of his kind. The cattle king will be able to carry out his praiseworthy scheme, because already lie owns about all the California elk which lift their antlers today. There may be 160 Specimens of these magnificent elk In Cali fornia. Henry Miller owns 12f. His title to them is of the best. He never bought 'them with money, but he went Into their wild haunts and saved them from the de struction which was wiping their species out of existence. The elk which he now owns compose what , ta probably the only herd of American elk Which It will be possible to save. In the tarrlbly ""rough Jackson's Hole country of Wyoming, la Arizona and In a few places further east, the lust of the elk are now In tiding. Their final refuge becomes often their death trap. In Wyoming many elk die every winter because the deep snows of .their retreat leaye them food I ens so long that they starve. When they follow the grass line down Into the lowlands they fall before the guns of hunters eager for the but of the royal sport of elk stalking. Tardy game laws have coma too late to Iiarailt the rejuvenating of their kind In the tli'd States. Tha elk must soon fol low U mooes, whose fat was that of tho Discontent. The peacock heard the nightingale sing ing. "That seems easy to do," said the big bird. "I'll see If I can't sing as well as that." At the dismal squawk that followed a moment later every living thing within hearing distance fled in terror. "Curses on my fatal gift of beauty!" ex claimed the peacock. "Why wasn't I made plain, like all the great musicians!" Chi cago Tribune. MANY PRELATES PRESENT BepresenUtiTM of Fire Continents and Many Islands Are at Boston. EPISCCPAL GENERAL CONVENTION OPEN Sermon by Bishop Dos no Deals with Dogmas snd Fredlets Greater Liberality of Art Ion by Charrh. BOSTON, Oct S. Prelates from fire con tlnents and distant islands of sea, represen tative of the Anglican communion through out the world, participated In the opnning ceremonies of the triennial general con vention of the Protestant Episcopal church of the United State. For the first time in ecclesiastical history the archbishop of Canterbury, primate of all England and metropolitan was present at a formal assembly of the American Episcopal body. He was received with all the honor due his rank and as the guest of the American church was accorded a hearty welcome by four score bishops of domestic dioceses. The convention Is regarded as the most Important ever held by this church. The proposed legislation embraces questions of moral reform, alterations In the eccle siastical administration and even a change In the name of the church. Many Important Questions. Tha bishops and house of deputies, the executive bodies, will devote three weeks to the consideration of business and on several topics,' such as the movement to prevent the re-marriage by the clergy of a divorced person while the former partner Is living, and the damund from certain quarters to omit the word "protectant' from the church's legal title, "the Prot estant Episcopal church In the United States," a protracted discussion is pre dicted. A proposal to group the dioceses into provinces with a senior bishop or primate at the head of each prorosed district, and a plan to have a final court of review established for the purpose of hearing appeals from dlocesean courts, will also be warmly debated. Missions at home and abroad will form another live subject for consideration both by the con vention Itself and by several missionary mass meetings at some of which the arch bishop of Canterbury and proml'ient Amer icans will speak. Sermon by Bishop Doane. The features of today were the presence of ths English primate, a procession of dignitaries which formed the most im posing spectacle ever seen in the Episcopil church in this country and a sermon de livered at the opening service In Trinity church by the Right Rev. WH'Um Cro:i well Doane, D.D., LI D., bishop of Al bany, N. T. The service was opened by Bishop Tuttle, who was celebrant of the holy communion. The archbishop of Canterbury was gos peller and Dr. Carmlchael, bishop coadju tator of Montreal, was epistoller. Bishop Doane selected two texts. The first was Isaiah xxxlll, 20, "Not one of the stakes thereof shall be removed, nor shall any of the cords thereof be broken;" and the second was Isaiah Uv, 2, "Spare not, lengthen they cords and atrengthen thy stakes." He said in part: It seems to me that ihe seeking after and the ins. sting upon starling points of agreemei.ta U wiser than the seeking after and denouncing the parting points of olf ference. While we are widening and spreading and lengthening for inclusiveness, lei us remem ber that the safety of all this depends on strengthened stakes. There are essential verities in the Catholic scriptures, by which I mean that their tradition and their trutn antedated ihe written word. It Is a tilte truth, and true because of its triteness, as a well worn coin dlHllnguishcs currency from counterfeit, that the Catholic faith Is not a syllabus of doctrines, but a symbol, that is to say, a throwing together of facts from the beginning to the end a personal father, the creator, an eternal son, begotten of the Father before all the worlds. In carnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, really born of his mother's sub stance, really living, really dying, reilly rising, really ascended: the Holy Ghost, OOd, the church, one, holy, catholic and apostolic. You may call these dogmas If you please, but they are first faetj, known, taught, held, lived by. and died for. before one word of the new testament was written. And the closing article of the creed the communion of saints. , the for giveness of sin, thi resurrection of tlv? body and the life everlasting are the.r nevltable sequence. These ore the stak;s "riven deep in solid ground, immovable, nchangeable, undeniable, to be strength ened by Insistence, by repetition by iei: eratlon. without which we should have no cords to lengthen, for they would have been sent to threads, no curtains to Ktretch forth, for they would have been torn to tatters, no tent to enlarge, for It would have been carled away by the blast of vain doctrine. Strengthen in order to lengthen. Lengthen because we have strengthened. Bishop Doane said the church had out grown the discussion of points of ritual, and that the air had been cleared of the old contentions. He thought the time would come when It would incline rather to broaden than to narrow the terms admitting persons to the holy communion. The benediction was given by the arch bishop of Canterbury. highways rr now resuming their place ss necewnsry adjuncts to the system, snd their construction and malntenence are considered legitimate engineering functions, worthy of technical treatment and requir ing proper scientific research In a paper entitled "Underground Rail ways."

In some parte of China the natives are In dread of the bloom of the bamboo, at which season all kinds of dreadful disasters are predicted and confidently looked for. Uke some other superstitions, this one has a slight foundation. The fact Is that the bamboo only flowers once and then dler, and as a rule the whole lot of plants often covering large areas, bloom together. The reason of this Is that the Individuals of a species are commonly gregarious, and all are of the same age, having taken simultaneous possession of ground rendered vacant perhaps by a similar depopulation. A somewhat analogous case Is presented by some of the Strobllanths of tropical Asia. These plants live about seven years, then all burst out Into u glorious mass of blue flowers nnd then die away, leaving.
