A Baby Hangs Itself.

The two year-old son OF ID. l.. Gull
len, OF Los Angeles, CAL, died recent
ly under peculiarly distressing cir.
cumstances. The little fellow acci-
dentally hanged himself. and the
injuries produced by partial strangu-
lation resulted in death two days
later.
The child had seen older children
playing in u swing. winding them
selves up in the rope and whirling
around as the rope unwound, aud he
attempted to initiate their play when
he was alone.
Not being able to get wholly into
the swing. he placed his neck in the
blight and twisted around until the
ropo was tightly woInd about his
throat. As his feet were still on the
ground the rope d,d not unwind, and
when the child was found he was un.
conscious. The little one never re-
covered full consciousness, although
evory known method was tried to
restore him.

A Belgian Brigand.

A man named Witte Relens, chief OF
an audacious band of brigands who
have infested the outskirts OF Malines
for some time past, has been captured.
This man aud his band have been q
terror to the whole countryside, CON.
mitting their crimes in broad daylight
under threats of murder or burning
down the habitstions OF those they ut.
tackled. The list of crimes against
Relens includes several cases of muir.
der, as we'll as over 500 charges of rob.
berry.
1t is stated that in the communes OF
Wavro.Sainte.C Catherine, Wavre Notre.
Dame. and Putte Mt Bonheyden there
are not ten of the inhabitants who
have not been victims of this man and
his band. Early in this year gen.
darme who attempted to arrest Relens
WAS shot dead by him. He has had "A
number OF hairbrcadth escapes from
arrest. Recently he had publicly
threatened to murder the burgomaster
of Wayre. .Saiute. Catherine and to burn
down his house, and in consequence
this functionary had to place himself
under police protection. Recently
Relens went TO an inn Mt Wavre.Sainte-
Catherine. and, information being
given to the police, they SURF ounded
the house and eventually overpowered
him. A brother of Relens was recent
ly condemned to penal servi;ude, for
life for similar crimes.

Canada's Forest Wealth.

The forests OF Canada have supplied
more or less the wants OF Europe for
centuries. From the earliest days of
its occupation by the French, tho
forest wealth of the country washed
by the st. Lawrence engaged the at.
tention OF the Government of France,
who saw therein vast resources avail.
able for their naval yards. They drew
from these forests large numbers of
masts aud spars, AMI issued stringent
regulations for the preservation of the
standing oak. When the country was
first ceded to Great Britain but little
attention was paid Mt first to its vast
timber supply, owing to the fact that
almost the whole of the Baltic trado
was carried on in British bottoms,
and that the timber OF Northern Eu-
rope provided an unfailing and con-
venient return freight for tho ship
ping thus engaged. When, however,
the troubles of tho Napoleonic era
commenced, and especially when tho
continental blockade was enforced,
the timber supplies of tho Baltic be.
coming uncertain and insufficient, at
tention was directed to the North
American colonies, with the result of
increasing the quantity of timber
which reached Great Britain from
200O tons in the year 1900 to 1875, 800
tons in 1910 and to 30S,000 tons in
1920. In 1895 the amount exported
to the United Kingdom showed total
of l,3l0,6SJ tons. - Northeastern

THREE HOURS In The JAIL
Sentence Passed on Oleomargarine
Dealer by Judge Cole.
Court Also Gave Him a Month In
Which to Pay Fine of
Fifty Dollars.

Another of the oleomargaripe cases was
settled by Judge Cole this morning, to the
amusement of the court room full of peo-
pie. IL was that of Albert Z. Hayden.
Mr. Hayden had entered plea OF guilty
of selling oleomargariue, and Judge Cole
made the sentence Us light as possible
three hours in Jail and $50 fine.
Mt. Birney stated to the court that Mr..
Hayden was undoubtedly guilty, but there
were extenuatiDg circumstances.
Mr.. Hayden, who is quiet, respectable
young man, neatly dressed, came forward
for sentence.
He has a defect of hearing and leaned
his elbow on the judges desk, whilehe held
his hand to his ear.
Il have been here only a short time,"
said Mr.. Hayden, and went into an expla-
nation of his fault.
And you were led into the sale of the
goods by others,' said Judge Cole
Yes" was the reply.
Further questioning developed the fact
that Hayden had been induced to handle
the olio by wholesale dealers, and probably
did not understand fully the offense lie
was committing.
The case seems 10 lie quite similar to
that Of Prather," remarked the court, land
has the additional point in favor of Mr.
Hayden that he has pleaded guilty, saving
the government the expense Of trial.
Icannot, however, max the sentence lighter
than three hours and $50, as the law fixes
that limit. How long do you want TO pay
the money!" he asked.
Il haven't got it now," said the offender
with faint smile.
But answer my question: how long?''
Can You give me two weeks?" and the
crowd smiled at this modest request. .
, ''Oh, yes; till August /. Be in court on
| that day with your money, go down and
spend your three hours in Jail and you will
be dismissed. Settle the whole thing in
one day. You can go till then. Make the
sentence OF that date, Mr.. Clerk; no entry
today" he concluded, with an expression
of gratifi cation that was reflected in
smiles about the room as Mr.. Hayden went,
glad to get off SO easily.
