The Delegate Up.Stairs.

One day when whole bus full Of
us drove up to the hotel in Lynch.
burg, Va, the landlord remembered
that he had a drummer from New York
who had been suffering terribly with a
toothache for two or three days. He
had tiied every remedy known to man,
except that of having it pulled. Ee
said he hoped some one of us might
be able to suggest something, and
slowly added:
Gentlemen, / have heard that a
sudden shock to mans nervous sys-
tenn would sometimes cure the worst
toothache. Can't you plan something ?"
Six or eight of us got together in the
reading room, and it was finally decid-
ed that man named Simmons, who
turned out to be patent medicine ad-
vertiser, should go up to the room and
startle the Yorker. He was to do
it by claiming to have seen dispatch
to the effect that his wife had run
away with another man. We thought
that ought to cure his toothache if any
thing would.
"How big man is hep asked the
delegate when ready to go up.
"Oh, he's rather understood, replied
the landlord. "If he should get on his
ear, you can easily slam him all over
the room"
The medicine man went up. We
followed, and stood at the door to hear
the result. He found the New Yorker
groaning like a sick horse; and after
introducing himself, he said:
"Sorry for you, old fellow, particu-
larly ut this time, but have bad news
for YOU"
"Nol" exclaimed the other, sitting up
in bed.
"Be calm, old boy, It's about your
wife"
"Is-she dead?"
Better for you if she was. She's ran
away with street-car conductor~
There was wild yell, followed by
several whoops and a crash. Then the
medicine man fell into the hall, and a
wild figure dragged him up and down.
and mopped him around, and made
bear fodder of him. 1t was five minutes
before we could get him off and get his
victim away. We carried the latter
into a sample-room, stretched him out
on table, and had sponged his face
for the third time, when he opened his
eyes.
"How do you feel now?" asked one OF
the boys.
"Queer. What's happened.
"You went to see the New Yorker.
"Oh, yes. He had the toothache."
"He did, and you kindly consented to
shock his mental system. 1t was q
great success"
II cured it, did I?"
"You did,"
"But, great heavens feel of me

big splatter of jelly Boys, if I die
and | hope l will, I'll haunt every in,

Our Timber Supply.

1t appears that some people are unduly
alarmed about the disappearance of the
vast forests of America when it is con
sidered how long the timber-cutting busi-
ness has been in operation in the Northern
and Northwestern States, and how much
timber still remains standing in those
sections, and then compare the immense
forest in the extreme Northwest, West
and South, which are as yet almost un-
touched Take for instance the timber
belt of Washington Territory, which
covers an area equal to that of the States
of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New Hampshire. Ii is asserted by
those in position to know, that Puget
Sound has 800 miles Of shore line, and
all along this line, miles and miles farther
than the eye can reach, is one vast and
almost unbroken forest of enormous
trees. The forests are 50 vast that, al
though the saw mills have been ripping
800, 900, 600 feet of timber out of them
every year for the past ten years, the
spaces made by these inroads seem no
more than garden patches. An official
estimate places the amount of standing
timber in that area at 500, 900, 600, 600
feet, or at thousand years supply, even at
the enormous rate the timber is now being
felled and sawed. Add to this the large
area of timber lands in the various
Southern States as well as the forest of
California, and it would seem that there
are more alarming things to contemplate
than the probability OF the utter denu-
dation of lhe earth by efforts of the
timbermen.-[ Dixie.

discussed matrimonial problem, and he
presents cold facts and figures i'll re-
gard to domestic infelicity that are
worth considering. These help to de-
termine whether or not divorces are
increasing the condition of marital
relations, and other points relating to
the question.
The report of the Commissioner con-
tains variety of interesting points
outside of the dry figures. He says
that there are more cases of cruelty
charged against wives than against
husbands. In some of the cases in
which husbands were eomplaina ITS
funny reasons are alleged as grounds
for divorces. For instance, one man
swears that his wife wouldn't sew but
tons on his clothes. The affidavit of a
witness is presented, testifying that
this man was often seen with only one
button on his vest Another husband
says his wife pulls all the clothing off
him every night, leaving him to shiver
until morning. A case possessing more
than ordinary interest and showing how
frail and heartless q young married
woman may be is that of a prominent
couple taking their wedding trip. They
left New York on the evening of their
marriage. The bride, happening to be
left by her husband, who went into
the smoker for few moments, was
carrying on very enthusiastic fiirta-
ton when her husband returned. This
started quarrel, which ended in an
immediate separation. that soon ter
minated in divorce
Commissioner Wright gives table
showing that the duration of married
life before divorce is 8.79 years for the
husband, and 9.29 for the wife. There
were 27,809 couples in the United
States who lived together about four
years before they sought divorce, 81
200 who tired of marriage relations at
the end of three years, and 81, 523 who
preferred single blessedness in two
years, while 15,622 were satisfied after
one whole year. These figures do not
