roosting place of wild ptgeona In Kentucky
early In the last century that extended
forty miles and was three miles' in width.
On its edges men with guns, nets, clubs
and torches slaughtered the roosting birds,
ach often bagging 600 in ona day. When the
wholesale butchers could carry away no
more, they let loose droves of hogs to fat
ten on what was left. About 1858 this
treatment began to thin tha ranka of the
passenger plgeona, till two years ago It
was discovered that only seven could be
found on the whole continent, four at
Milwaukee and three In Cincinnati.

Declaring that practically all tha gulls
and terns In America today have survived
solely through tha work of protecting and
restoration at their reservations, leaders of
the National Aaaoctatlon of Audubon So

this country to support tha work of pre

they have already begun. Tha Upland

President of Union College Denounces

VTICA. N. Y., Dec. 3 In an address at
tha dedication of the Thomas R. Proctor
library at Richfield Sprlnga today Rev. Dr.
Charloa Alexander Richmond, president ot
Vclon college, protested against tba grow
ing tendency to trade achocla.
'The educators of tha country are going
mad over tha subject of trade achools and
technical training," ha said.
"Colonel Roosovelt In ona of bla Wash
ington apeechea aald that every college
Student should be taught a trade. I sup
pose ka had In mind that In the eaaa ot
some boys a good carpenter or a good
farmer had been spoilt In the making of
a poor preacher or a briefless barrister;
but you might Just as well demand that
every farmer ahould ba taught Greek."

For many months ayatematlo search
haa been made throughout tho continent
by officials ot tha Audubon association tor
relics of tha onoe proUdo paaeenger pigeon.
Members of tha organisation, headed by
Prof. C. P. Hodge ot Clark university,
have made a standing offer of S1.MA to
anyone discovering a neat of this species;
but. though thousands have been trying
eagerly for the prise, not ona aingie
claimant haa appeared.
In response to a reoent Inquiry by T.
Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National
Association of Audubon Societies,- tha
authorttlea ot tha Cincinnati Zo bava Juat
furnished tha last chapter In the tragic
tale ot theaa butchered birds. The "Last

years old, whose mate died recently with
out issue at tha age ot 24.

' As late aa 1877 what la now known to
have been the last nesting place ot these
wild birds waa found In tha atate of Michi
gan, where their nests thickly covered tha
trees over an area twenty-elgnt miles long
and tour miles wide. Resldenta of this city
declare that In 1S&0 they flocked over Man
hattart Island In euch B umbers that they
absouted the aun and that ships loaded In
bulk with tha bodies of these birds lay
at the wharves selling them at a cent
apiece. Audubon la quoted as observing
support of tha sportsmen ot tha country,
Bad aa la tha passing ot tha pasaenger

of other valuable speclea, it is declared.

OKLAHOMA CITT. Okl- Dec. .-After a
short session this morning, the Oklahoma
legislature, which la considering tha capltol
site proposition, adjourned, leaving the
problem In a state of contusion. The ses
sions will be resumed Monday morning
and In the meantime cltlsens here are en
deavoring to form a company to guarantee
the kind of a capltol building demanded
In the senate yesterday.
The senate proposition Is that' Oklahoma
City must furnish a site within the cor
porate limits and guarantee a million and
a half dollars for the building.

section of school land three miles from the

Tfy way of encouragement to the rnm-
prl?n foi early shopping to alleviate the
annual Christmas lush, the shop kct'pers
have put tlielr holiday warts on display
and prepared generally to handle the fclft
buying trade.
The reta.1 shops of the downtown center
are aglitter with the trinkets and goods
calculated to Interest the buyers. Most of
the Christmas lines are now on display In
all their completeness.
It Is up to the shopper. The goods are
ready and the salespeople are on tha Job.
The Dennett company has employed an
additional force of 250 silespeople to assist
the 750 regularly employed during the holi
day rush. These additional workers have
been put behind the counters much earlier
this year than last and have been trained
for their work far In advance of the
schedule of former seasons.
"We kave prepared for tho early shop
pers." said A. L. Schants. general man
ager of the Bennett company, as he pointed
down the alale of the gaily bedecked atore.
"Tha additional help has been put on In
two dlv.sona to expedlta their training.
They are all In shape to show the goods
In their departments now and we are Just
as ready for the trade as we will be the
day before Christmas, and of course the
lines are full now and offer the opi-orHnlty
for more satisfactory selections.
"The effort I.: meeting with success, too."
continued Mr. Srhanti. "The shoppers are
beg nn nc to corns in. The pulse of the
holiday trade Is already perceptible. The
buyers of the lilRher grades of holiday
Poods are apparently the first to respond
to th movement for early shopping "
The early shopping movement Is also he
coming apparent at the postofflre. where
the annual Christmas Increase In the pur
chase of money orders has necsss tst'-d
the employment of extra clerks nearly t
' Ms rati rr than Is usual.
Omaha's t'hrlsmas trade I" expected to
show a marked Increase over that of for

"I called to see you Friday evening In
regard to ' tha funeral of your husband.
Will call again Sunday morning before the
