1--WE are daily wasting one of ma
lures richest gifts to us in our whole
sale destruction of the forests" said
Theodore B. Baselin of the forestry
commission to q New York reporter.
And 1t is destroying what nature vas
hundreds of years in building up and
which cannot be replaced for many
years to come. Year after year has
seen our people cutting down the
woods for almost the sole purpose of
getting them out of the way and with
no thought of the future, until today,
with the exception Of the Adirondacks,
New York is almost deplete of its
timber growth. This is an evil in
many ways. The clearing away of
wood growths gives a sweep to high
waters and heavy rains, which washes
away much OF the rich surface soil
and depletes in a marked degree the
fertility of the land. And this waste
of fertility ~increa1es each year and
must in time render the land almost
sterile. Then, again, the destroying of
the forests has a marked influence
upon the rainfall, and one of the
greatest arguments for the preserva-
ton of the Adirondacks is its protec-
ton to the great watershed of eastern
New York. Scientific men claim that
the forests exercise a great influence
also upon the public health by the
proper distribution Of carbonic and
other gases and regulating the equi-
librium of the atmosphere. So far no
state in the Union has done much in
the way of protecting existing forests
and but little tending to the creation
of ones. 1t is & subject that must
receive attention some of these days
and upon which the legislative bodies
must act

HE HELPED THE TRAMP.
A Case of Double Gratitude Observed In
Western New York.

A Case of Double Gratitude Observed In
Western New York.
AS we stood in a group in the depot
waiting room at Elmira, there was a
scuffle aL,d loud words, and we turned
to see the depot policeman showing a
trampish looking man out of the place.
1t was a cen to make most OF the
crowd smile, as the officer was a big
man and his victim a small one, but
before he had him outdoors a well
dressed, fine looking man stepped for
ward and demanded:
Officer, has this man been guilty Of
any offensef"
"He's no business in here, sir" was
the reply.
why hasn't her"
because he's a tramp. Ny orders
are to put EN- out"
Just wait"
He brought out his wallet, handed
the forlorn looking stranger two crisp,
ten dollar bills, and then turned to the
officer with:
Now, let him alone. A man with
$40 in his pocket is no tramp"
God bless you, sirl' whispered the
recipient of this bounty as he looked
at the money in the greatest astonish-
ment. I'm no vagabond; Tn simply
down on my luck. | was wanting
TO get to Buffalo. where / hope to hit
a job, and I'm willing to work at my
thing and for any price"
Some one venturcd 10 ask the gen
tleman for an explanation of his hber-
atty, and he replied:
Just a year ago tonight, in n of
the towns on the Erie road, a tramp
struck me fora quarter and gotit. He
must have gone off on a freight train
right away, and he got a lift of TWEEN
ty odd miles before he was bounced.
-Four hours later / took a train, and
while passing from one coach to an
other lost my footing and was thrown
off. / struck on my head and Shout
ders and was rendered unconscious,
though not very badly hurt. When
came to there was a quarrel over my
body. Two men wanted to rob me,
while a third was holding them off,
and when they attacked him he gave
them such a drubbing that they haul
ed off. Then he raj TO a farmhouse a
quarter of a mile away, routed out the
people, and helped carry me there.
While could not speak, l heard all
that was said. ! heard him say that
he recognized me as the one who had
befriended him that evening; and be-
fore he went away he insisted on tax
ing an inventory of my personal prop
erty. | had a watch, a diamond pin,
and over a thousand dollars in money;
and everything was kept safe for me
during the two weeks 1 was in the
house"
But what became of the tramp"
Il have never seen him since. After
seeing me safe at the house he started
off, saying he would send a doctor
from the neares town, and l never
even had the chance to thank him.

Balconies in the Azores are as uni
versal as in Havana, Lisbon or Mad
rid. Some project from supports of
carved stone; others rest with airy in
security upon fancifully wrought tim
bers; and still others may be seen in
the daintiest patterns into which brass
and iron may be wrought. All are
latticed, and in this lattice work are
odd little slides and gates.
From these, as you pass, you will
catch glances from fair eyes, and often
see smiles and coquetting looks from
lovely roguish faces. The Fayal maid
ems must not look upon you in the
street; but social custom gives them
the blessed right TO lirt with you des.
perately from the lofty and safe out,
posts of their balconicd alcobas.
The c~ourtyards or sagaos have an
inviting look through these carelessly
kept eutradas. There is q suggestion
of snugness in the high inclosing
walls. The open court shelters the
home gatherings and belongings of
the average family. All its members
are more or less there.
Many lovely flowers and Chamber
ing vines light up the place in winter
as well as summer days. Frequently
interior galleries add to the pict-
u~resqueness, for people live in these
courts, and on these galleries more
than in the cherries alcobas to which
they lead.
Besides, there are none SO poor that
the gladdening songs of matchless
brown Azorean canaries are not al
ways heard above, n blending with
the gay and murnurous undertones
Of lazily done domestic affairs. New

A Railroader's Wit.

Employees of the Delaware and
Lackawanna railroad tell a good story
about recent application for a pass
to Superintendent Reasoner by a for
mer switchman named Mcpherson
Mcpherson, who formerly lived in
Syracuse, had been obliged to give up
his position through ill-health. and
asked, recently, for pass to his old
home.
"Why should | give you a pass p

That's all right" said Superinten-

working on farm and had quit, would
you ask the farmer to hitch up team

Certainly not" replied the appli-

WHO WAS Boss.-A dastardly
tramp, knowing that she was unpro-
tected, entered the house of a frail,
meek-eyed little woman in Montana
and savagely:
"Now, madam, you want to just fly
around and get me square meal, an a
mighty good one, too Don't let any
grass grow under your feet while you
are about it neither, or Pill"
Half an hour later the frail, meek
eyed little woman hailed passer by
and said calmly:
"Pve got fellow lying on my kitch-
en- floor tied with a clothes line and
gagged with a towel, that I'd like you
to help me to dump into my wagon SOS
l kin take him to town. I've an idee
that q couple of his ribs are broke,
and his head needs SEWN up in two or
three places, an his shoulder pears to be
out ojoint. He got kinder sassy, an,
had to let i'm know who was boss, yer
know"
