A rich man named Warren Spring-

He had not been looked upon as a
philanthropist, but rathes as the op-
posite type of a man.

swindlers took much mopey from
Warren Springer in a transaction
the people of Chicago gleefully said
that they were glad of it. Even the
newspapers printed statements to
the effect that the general opinion
favored the escape of the swindlers
But once the public was wrong.
Warren Springer left a fortune
something like >2,000,000.
Widow is carrying out bls last re-
quest to use this fortune to help the
poor.
On the Springer estate of 2,000
acres near Chicago a colony of small
farmers will be established. These
are to be drawn from the tenement
district of Chicago, one of the worst
in any large American city. Mr.
Springer always had opposed social
settlements in the cities, but bellerved
that the way to accomplish good in
this line was to get the people away
from unsanitary and crowded tene-
ment districts and put tf^m out of
doora where they could have cows
and chickens and get their full meas-
ure of happiness from an association
with nature.
And people called Warren Spring-

“Yes, I was bitter. It was nature.
Billy was my twin brother. It tore
me to pieces to see him killed. We
were young—mere boys. But things
have changed. Billy died for the best
of causes. I revere Billy’s memory,
but rejoice that he was willing to die
for the flag and the Union.

we had a short time ago talking about
our songs of the war time? Well,
nowj did you ever stop to reflect that
Johnny and the rest of his tribe in
gray had the same love for their war

Maryland,’ and the ‘Bonnie
Flag?’’

I have a heart that feels for others;

Please let me have my say, in my own
way, without further interruption.
“Johny, like us, is an old man. His
soldiership was as heroic as was that
of our fellows. He loks back to those
brave old days, very much as the boys
in blue do, with the exception that
at the end of the four years of hard
campaigning be had to go home un-
der the cloud of defeat and often to
a home of abject want. We missed
these; we came home as victors,' in
the main to homes of plenty, with
the doors of opportunity swung wide
open to us. They, in the main, had
to make oportunity, under great dif-
ficulty. All these years most of them
have had a constant fight on hand
to keep the wolf from the door, and
it has been an honest, manly, brave
fight. They haven’t had the help of
such pensions as our boys have had;
their States have given them, or
some of them, a small pension in case
of loss of limb or health. Old chum,
those old boys in gray have made a
heroic fight ever since 1865.’

FARMERS, SAVE THE BIRDS—
NOT BIRD-DOGS.
From Farmers’ Fireside* Bulletin:
Editor Farmers’ Fireside Buletin:
You promised me when you were
atendlng the Swine Breders' Conven-
tion, here in Athens, to give me
space In the Bulletin to have my say
about the bird-dog and the quail. I
am waging war on the bird-dog—
not on bls name, but how he makes
his living. Neither have I ought
against the mosquito, but his man-
ner of living is what I object td. 1
say emphatically that the disappear-
ance of the quail is due to two
causes: The shotgun and the bird-
dog, and the latter doing the most
The bird-dogs do their deadly
work during sitting time,
not own a bird-dog that would let
a quail set and hatch her brood in
a hundred acre field where he was
permited to run at large. He does
more to exterminate the quail fam-
ily during the summer season than
in the winter.
In the years gone by the Indians
killed Just what Buffalo they needed,
but when the white man came on
the scene with the No. 56 Needle
gun, nothing would satisfy him but
total extermination and I want to
g4t th* people, especially the farm-
era, interested in this cruaads and
against the destraction of the quail.
I want the bird-dog bustnees stop-
ped altogether. At any rate I want
him restrained while the quails are
raising, say from the first of May
until the first of September.
Another thing I am opposed
our special privilege bird law, that
allows the hunters to kill twenty-
five birds in one day and the boy
wife tills the soil is not allowed to
trap. Who ever heard of a boy who
caught twenty-fiveT bird^ln, one day.

requested that teachers* and school

ment—consequently I know that
this appeal will bring forth a hearty
and ready response—an echo from
the patriotism always so largely a

dog?
Most men who hunt ar* good men
and sra willing to do right about
anything, but the trouble is they are
not thinking. Owners of bird-dogs
are mostly men who are In some
business other than farming and live
mostly in our towns and villages, and
of course are more or leu politicians,
and it will take work, and hard
work, to outdo them in the fight to
save tbe quail. Most of them readily
agree that th* dogs should be kept
detsined for part of the y*ar, but
want to keep up th* killing in the
winter. I want the farmers to
“speak out In meetin,' ’’ and tell your
candidate to say how he stands on
this subject.
I know too how a lltle bottle will
sometimes satisfy'“daddy" and will
influence him to let a bunch of men
and dogs go in his field and kill or
run off all the quails, and I know
what little “Willie” thinks about It
and mother too, for that matter.
1 have written many of these ar-
ticles and have received some sweet
encouragement from over the state,
and ocacsionally some brave fellow
takes up the fight and stands by me.
I have made thlg vow; That I will
not quit aa long as I live and can
hear of one “Bob Whit*’’ yet alive
and for fear that this generation of
men are too greedy and are too po-
litically cowardly to atop the on-
slaught. I will try to impress the
boys and girls with this sentiment. 1
want every child to learn this verse:
Bob, Bob, White,
It’s not right, right
For you to be done this way;
For the dog, dog, dog.
Like a hog, hog, hog,
Won’t let your good mate lay.
