A Chicago dispitch gives the follow
ing views of S. Sterling Morton the To-
coming Secretary Of Agriculture;
Despite the fact that saoald be
jsbiiant over my recent appointment
said J Sterling Morton to-day, Il am
rrosblcd. Evary day that passes sees
the timber producing land of this COON
try reduced by $4,000 acres There
are but 10000, 900 acres Of timber lift
in THIS country. anil at this rate Of de-
struction it will last but a generation.
The most important matter that will
occupy my attention when | enter the
c .binct as Secretary Of agriculture will
be the prcpar 'tiou of national forestry
laws, to he presented through some kind
ly congressman to Congress.
Nearly 10000 ties are consumed for
elch mile Of railroad track hid, and they
last from two 10 six years, according to
the ballast. Vow, what a great benefit
would be derived by securing legislation
that would make the railroads utilize
their right of way to plant trees for their
own consumption Think Of an urbor
reaching from Jersey City to San Fran
cisco, from ocean to ocean. You would
be able to travel this distance in an ar
Dor, cool aud dustless in summer. and
free from snow in winter, were the rail
roads to set trees each side of their
tracks. {ss

The answer of the State of Wet Vir-
GINA iu the suit brought by the State of
Maryland in settlement Of the western
boundary between those two States has
been filed in the United States Supreme
Cour,. The. answer traces the colonial
history of Maryland and Virginia from
the founding of the Virginia colony in
1900 and the. granting of the claIter of
Maryland in 1882 to the present time.
The territory claimed by Maryland en-;
braces the thrifty and prosperous towns
of Keyse. Piedmont, Elk Garden, Davis
and others. Should the claim be sus-
tanned it would divide West Virginia
into two parts. The south branch o.
the PotouIa, river heads in Highland
county, Virginia. Maryland demands
that the line run due north fom the
head Of the south branch to the Penn
sylvania line. This would transfer to
Maryland all of the county If Mineral,
nearly all of the county Of Grant, those
parts Of Hampshire, Hardy and Pendle-
ton lying west of the south branch, and
considerable portion Of Randolph.

A Democrat has been elected Senator

one in the Senate, and yet they secured

This looks hopeful for the Republicans in
Maryland. If three Democrats can win
q senatOrship in Ropubli an Leg lature

why cannot the Republicanswith often ten
times that number win Senator's place in

GAS | sit here alone, hour aft
er hour, | think and think until
my head aches and dull hard
pain in my left side wearies me.
Ever since | could sit up after
those terrible first days | have
wanted to write down all that
has happened for two reasons;
one is that my life may be a
warning to other girls and the
other, to comfort dear papa and
Harry when l am gone. ! do
not think Loring would care for
any word of mine although he is
my brother, my dear brother SO
near my own age, and my play
mate until he was sent away to
school. He has never spoken to
me since that dreadful day, new
er called, although l have seen
him pass this house, and have
cried and cried for him. | must
not think Of my own hurts, but
write the story. Poor Loring is
young, and Aunt Nancy has told
him some of the cruel things she
said to me, and Loring's pride
will not bear it, and | am sorry
for him and for Aunt Nancy too.
l do not remember my mother;
her picture hangs in the parlor
at home, but Aunt Nancy always
kept the blinds closed for fear
the carpet might fade, and l was
never allowed to go in there I'M
less the sewing circle met, or the
minister and his wife came to
| tea. L went IN once with Sue
Pelton, when Sue was visiting
me, but Aunt Nancy was very
angry about it, and after that
kept the key in her pocket.
Harry never sat there when he
was at home, for mamma died in
that room, he said, and he could
not bear it. Sue and the other
girls used to tell me they would
go in and have it fixed up with
pretty things to enjoy. How
much | wanted to do this no one
will ever know. My mother
