I would so to the end of the rainDow, The place whore the seas begin, '-.. To the first sand heap on the desert, ' Where nothing Is reckoned as sin. . ' Seleoted. . By order of the New York park authorities, so the newspa pers tell us, a census of the squirrels in Central Park was taken jthe other day. Many years ago squirrels were so numerous in 'Central Park and their number increased so rapidly, that it was inecessary to shoot a large number' every year to prevent 'them from becoming nuisances. It was ascertained by the cen sus that the number of squirrels had greatly decreased during jithe last two years, so much, in fact, that it will be necessary : ,tO restock Central Pork with squirrels next year. Two reasons are given to account for this decrease in the number of squir rels. The squirrels are fed so liberally by visitors that they have practically abandoned their way of living like wild creatures. They have become lazy and inactive and enervated by their op ulent way of living. The result has been that the squirrels do not pair at all or, if they do, they raise much smaller families ' than heretofore. Another cause of their decline in numbers is (hat hundreds of them are run over and killed or crippled by automobiles every year. The squirrels have become fat by over feeding' and are no longer able to avoid automobiles going at a rapid clip. All this teaches a powerful lesson, as it illustrates how unavoidably luxury and hyper-civilization will lead to race -suicide. The families of great wealth in the United States and elsewhere, but more ao in this country than in .Europe, are rap ndily gravitating toward extinction. Their complete extinction "can be prevented only by the infusion of new blood, not the blue blood of aristocracy, but the healthy, strongly pulsating red 2)lood of vigorous manhood. . '-The last annual message of President Boosevelt, printed in 'today's Guard, as is usually the case with the chief executive's state papers, quite lengthy. It treats all the principal subjects - especially the topics relating to corporations and labor, in the ' exhaustive, argumentative fashion that has characterized the 'president's utterances on the same topics for four years past. He presents no new ideas, and it is safe to say the message will '. receive little attention. It is too long for the average reader to -peruse it carefully. "From, the number, of magazine and newspaper writers, at home and abroad, engaged in showing that the Panama canal 'will never pay, it might be supposed that a conspiracy to give Uncle Sam cold feet was doing business somewhere. Perhaps it is because he is seeking a warmer climate than 'he finds at the Italian court since his marriage with the Elkins millions was declared off, that the Duke de Abruenl is thinking f 'another: dash for the north pole. - I .. .... .... . , .V , ' Well, yes, it does seem queer that Walter Wellman should have overlooked so many better chances at home and brought a suit for damages against a Paris paper, which called his airship Arctic scheme an advertising fake. , mount to an alliance, offensive and defensive," but if it were so regarded in this country, there would be things doing, botn in and out of congress.

He stated to a Guard reporter this morning that a rich strike was made lust week at the Hawkins claim, which probably eclipses anything ever struck in the district. The find was made In an old tunnel that had 'been worked for several years. The ore, said Mr. Cummings, runs ov- er $50 to the ton and when the rock is crumbled with the hands great strings of gold as long as one'B linger are ex- hiblted.
