Forest Preservation.

Mississippi should profit by ths
sad experience Of other States thai
like her were originally heavily tim
oered, and before the axe of tn,
woodman has made great headway
IN her forests adopt such Legislation
as will protect the State from those
changes incident to the total de
struction OF the timber that now
cloaks so large portion of her ter,
rtory. The time has arrived when
the log-getters are to be distributed
rs generally through our accessible
forests us they have been for years
in Maine, Wisconsin and Michigan,
and we should profit by the over
sights and regrets of the people of
those States in taking early precau>
tons against converting into barren
wllds the vast tracts now covered
with trees.
Every deed made by the State to
timber lands should contain clause
requiring a certain number of trees
to be planted to replace those cut
for lumber, or certain number to
be left standing on every quarter
section of forest land
A neglect of this precaution will
be source of lasting regret to all OF
us after The wrong has been done
and irreparable injury inflicted.

The Democrats of Columb bus, Ky.
on last Saturday morning recovered
from the bottom of the Mississippi
River huge 64.pdunder that was
sunk at that place in 1862 when the
Confederates evacuated the town.
They sent divers down into the water,
and after much work secured the
prize. They had drilled the spike out
of it, cleared it of the sand with which
it was filled and polished it up only
about five minutes before they re-.

"there is neither excuse nor extenua>

THE ROOSTER.
How il Came TO be the Emblem Of
Democratic Victery
E.u...o-

DtmOCIdtiC NlCSIJ
Cincinn Att Enquirer.
"Why. when and where was the
rooster adopted as the emblem of De-
mocraey?"
The question quoted above and ad-
dressed to the editor of the Enquirer,
has been asked thousand times in
the last week.
1t has been suggested, no doubt, by
the great popularity of the bird since
the 4th day Of November. The ques.
ton has been answered before, but for
the benefit of those who do not under
stand the situation it can be answered
again.
In 1912, after the Harrison cam
paign, there was great doubt as to how
Indiana had cast her vote. The sit.
uation was similar to that in New
York to-day in every respect. An
editor named Chapman conducted the
Democratic newspaper at Indianapo>
lis, and as is very often the case in
Boosting over a victory, his editorial
rejoicing over the result was termed
Growing" In day or two, when
some of the back counties were heard
from, it seemed the growing had been
premature, and the Wing organ came
out giving late returns showing DEM
ocratc defeat, and in the headline
was the expression:
Grow, Chapman, crow"
This was intended as a taunt, and
must have been felt, for few more
counties yet to hear from again turned
the tables, aud showed that the Dem
ocrats had won. 1t was then that
the rival editor hoisted at the head
of his columns a magnificent rooster
and printed under it the words awe
Crow"
1t made a palpable hit. The passion
for ROSTERS spread, and from that
day to this the bird immortalized by
the Hoosier editor has been the en-
blem Of Democratic success.

Tossing their arms ,aloft, with painting
breath
And vests unglrdled, imprecating loud
Upon the just one, Calvarys shameful
DEATH
And from the crowd a child with wide, wet
eyes
And hair blown back from running takes
the way
Into Jerusalem, full of grieved surprise
And anxious anger at mems cold delay.
His child heart, pure and true, thought all
must ay
TO save the Lord. With sad reproach he
said:
g He loved you! Did you good continually;
He healed the sick and blind; the poor ue

Twas all in vain. The solemn darkness orept
Through silent streets in awful.mystery;
Women and children in their chambers wept
And men, with hidden faces, turned from

He struggled to kiss her. She struggled the
the same
To prevent him, so bold and undaunted;
But, as smitten by lightning, he heard her
exclaim:
"Ayaunt, sirl" And off he avaunted.
But when he returned, with wild, fendish
laugh,
Showing clearly that he was affronted,
And threatened by main force 20 carry her off,
She cried, Don't" And the poor fellow
d0nted.
When he meekly approached, and got down
at her feet
Praying loud, as before he had ranted,
That she would forgive him, and try to be
sweet,
And said. Cant you."-the dear girl
recanted.
Then softly he whispered, +" How could you
do SO?
] certainly thought l was Tilted;
But come thou with me, to the parson well go.
Say-wjlt thou, my dear!h And she wilted.
Then gayly he took her to see her new home
A cabin by no means enchanted.
"Seel Here we can live with no longing to
roam,
He said, Shan't we, my dear?" So they
shantied! -Sgrdease Herald.

Defective English.

In oar day it may be said-as ap-
piled to the writing of English--that
of the great multitude of writers whom
the extension of elementary education
and the vast increase of periodical lit
erhure have produced, Jew take the
trouble or possess the taste and ability
to write their native language as it
ought to be written, by all who aspire
to see their composition in print
Thousands of articles are published
every day in the newspapers, and pos
sibly thousands of novels and volumes
of verse are annually given to the world
without the excuse of haste which may
be accepted ol behalf of periodical
writers. In consequence of this profu-
sion of literary work performed by
neorhytes, who write as tluently as
they talk, and with as little prelimi-
nary study, the standard of literary
taste has fallen. Men and women who
adopt the literary profession without
adequate qualification, except little
having the qualification, are not able
to afford themselves the time to give
their talents fair play, seldom or never
take the trouble to study critically the
language which is the vehicle of their
thoughts. A man may not practice as
a physician or a surgeon, Il barrister
or an attorney, without qualifying
himself for his vocation by time and
study, and the approval of the heads
of the profession to which he aspires
TO belongs but any man or woman can
become an author-or a cookAwithout
leave asked of anybody; and the cook
cry in these instances is often better
than the authorship. At the same
time it would be unjust to deny that
many beading articles and many books
written by careless and imperfectly-ed
ucated people, reflect the highest
credit upon the ability of their
authors. A slip-shod, and even a
vulgar style of writing, is quite com.
patibhe with persuasive power, critical
acumcn, irrefragable logic, and even
with cloquence, inasmuch AS all these
intellectual gifts are sometimes found
in the possession of wholly illiterate
people. and even of savages. But,
granted the possession of the critical
acunen, the logical power, ana the
eloquencc, all these qualities would be
enhanced and adorned if they were
accompanied by Il thorough mastery
of the language in which they are
exhibited, and by the grace of style
which distinguished all writers of
genius, and even of commanding tai
