COULDN'T BUY BUTTERMILK.
But He Coud Have All He Could Drink
for Nothing


for Nothing.
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Charley Wilson returned last week
from a trip through darkest Indiana.
He was out during the heated term.
and the account be gives of his dis
comforts experienced is enough 20
make one laugh and weep Jointly.
At midday, with the sun at hun
dred and something, he was dumped at
little station that is namele8s At
least he said it was. but had prob
ably forgotten it. There should have
been bus line to take him TO a town
some four or five miles distant. Bul it
wasn't in sight. An awkward, slab
sided boy was sitting on the boara
platform with his bare feet dangling
over, utterly uninterested IN
anything or anybody. He was
too listless to keep the flies off his
own face, and had it not been for his
tapping straw hat they would have
eaten him up.
Two or three houses dotted the land
scape here and there, and half a mile
away stood a little cluster of build
ings, such as are usually found at
crossroads Charley was thirsty; ne
generally is. for that matter. but his
thirst in this case was of the infor-
nal kind, as the smoker on the accom-
mediation had been out OF water for
several hours. He meant to get a
drink or perish. so he sought infor-
nation from Bub.

TENDERFOOT TOO MUCH FOR THE
GENERAL.

Wanted Dog to Eat and Was Willing to
Eat It-But the General Weakened.
Several years ago no one man was
better known on the frontier of South
Dakota than General T. C. Campbell,
who was sent to the Territories in the
SOS by President Buchanan as inspect
ing officer of the United States army.
Campbell had been severely wounded
and his trip West was more to recu-
perate than for actual duty. He had a
good war record having served through
out the Mexican campaign, and he was
the most accomplished swearer that
ever went West. He settled on the
Missouri river about rs miles above
Yankton, where he maintained a ranch
and wayside inn, patronized almost
wholly by freighters, army officers and
frontiersmen. He was not tough, but
he carried the impression until it came
to be believed that he would as soon
kill man as eat his breakfast
Campbell had a habit of telling the
guests who honored his house with their
presence that they could have anything
they wanted to eat, but when they
called for anything he did not have he
would inform them that he was not run
ming a DelmOnlcO restaurant and they
would have to take what they could get
and be thankful.
One evening a stranger came along
who was travelling for Chicago house.
He was tenderfoot, insomuch as he
had never been so far west before
Campbell rated him up as dude, he
afterwards said, and asked him what
he wanted to eat, after he had been
seated with a dozen or more frontiers
men.
what have you to eat?' asked the
newcomer.
What have got to eat? Why, I've
got any damned thing you want" re-

PROTESTING POPULIST L
EDITORS,
Refuse to Recognize the Authorize
| of Paul VandcrVOOrt.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 22.-The populist
editors who refused to recognize the au-
thority of Paul Vandervoort in calling the
meeting of the National Reform Press AS
sociation at Memphis, Tenn, met at the
Hotel Ashland today in response to a call
issued by Arthur Rozelle, secretary and
treasurer of the national association, and
chairman of the Missouri state peoples
party committee, for the purpose of "or.
ganizing and perpetuating the real peo-
pies press association" Among the ed-
tors here is General Master Workman
Sovereign of the Knights of Labor, who
holds membership as the mead of knights
of Labor official journal. j. c. Wolf, land
and building commissioner of Nebraska,
and J. W. Edgerton, railroad commissions
err of Nebraska, are also present.
The meeting was called to order at 10:45
o'clock by Chairman Rozelle, who made
brief address, declaring the National Re-
form Press Association had declined in
membership until not more so of the 1900
populist editors in the country claim any
connection with the organization. This
decline, he said, was due to the rule or
ruin policy of President Vandervoort
who now called the meeting at Memphis
without a vote of the executive board, as
provided by the constitution.
After Rozelle had concluded, J. B. Wolf
of Nebraska was nominated temporary
chairman but declined to serve, saying,
while he was thoroughly in sympathy
with the objects of the meeting, he was
not actively engaged in newspaper work.
Leo Vincent of Guthrie, Oklahoma was
elected chairman. Vincent assumed the
chair. and without making an address
called for the order of business. M v
| Carroll Of Lamar, Mo, was made perma-
nent chairman.
A discussion over credentials arose
| Chairman Vincent said the present meet
ing would be considered the regular one
of the National Reform Press Association,
and those holding memberships in the
national order would be eligible. Com
mittees were named as follows:
! Credentials - Grand Master Workman
! Sovereign; j. A. Edgerton Nebraska' W.
H. Chandler, Oklahoma.
Permanent organization-C. A. Rozelle /
Missouri j. H. Lewis, Missouri Warwick I
Saunders, Columbus, Neb.

o1o+bed with forests. The reserve is one
NJ the most rugged, difficult, least known
and least settled part of the United
States.
No. 9-The Olympic forest reserve oc-
ounies the high and broken Olympic
mountains. in northwestern Washinton
and contains an estimated area Of 2,1SS,S0O
acres This proposed reserve no doubt
contains for it's area the largest and
most valuable body Of timber belonging
to the nation.
No 1O-The Mount Rainier forest reserve
was originally established by executive
order Of February 20, 1898, as the Pacific
forest reserve" The proclamation eX-
tends the reserve southwark along the
two slopes of the Cascade mountains
nearly to the Columbia river. and chang
es the name from the Paclhc to the
Mount Rainier forest reserve. The pro-
posed extension makes the total area OF
the Mount Rainier reserve 1924, $50 acres.
No 1.-THE Stanislaus forest reserve
extends north along the slopes of the 81
ezra Nevada mountains in California, ana
embraces an area of 691 200 acres
No. 12-The San Jacinto forest reserve
embraces the San Jacinto mountains in
southern California, and is separated
from the existing San Bernardino forest
reserve by the San Georgonio pass, the
estimated area being 737,2S0 acres.
No. 1.-THE Uintah forest reserve en-
braces both slopes of the eastern part or
the Uintah mountain range in northern
Utah, and the northern slope only of the
western part of this range, the southern
slope being part of Uintah Indian reser-
walton.
The Committees Report.
The report of the committee concludes
with the statement that it fully recog-
nized the fact that the forest reserves
established and corrected, can not remain
unless a plan can be adopted under which
their boundaries can be modified so as to
take from them all lands better suited
for agricultural purposes than for the
products of forests, and under when
their timber can be made available for
domestic and commercial purposes and
valuable minerals can be freely sought
for and mined within their boundaries.
The commission Is now engaged in per-
fecting a scheme of forest management
which it is believed will make the adj
ministration of the reserves possible.
Secretary Francis says; THE deep and
-
our forests will make the act of Presi-
dent Cleveland very popular with all ex-
cept those who have selfish designs on the
forests. The timber growth in most or
many of the older states has been ruth
lessly laid waste, and in some sections the
settlers are realizing it's scarcity, it's cost
for domestic uses growing greater from
year to year. Furthermore, these for
ests are the great reserves of the coun-
try. They preserve the snow when pro
tected and furnish a good and oppor-
tune supply of water in the streams.
This forestry committee which has done
such good work will now formulate for
submission to congress, through the Sec
rotary Of the interior, forestry policy to
provide for the protection of these Won
derful reservations from the depredations
of sacrilegous man as well as from the
ravages of fire"

STARVATION rIaU RES.
The Awful Record of Death In Caba from
Lack OF NoarIsha,ent.

AteNN vs.
NEW YORK. Nov. pa dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
The Worlds first figures OF Cuba's
starvation were tlmidly moderate They
showed the death of only 100000. But
every painful fact unearthed tends to
prove them nearly double that number
When the grim returns are all in 1t is
now almost certain that this Cuban
massacre OF the lnnocents will reach
100000. And this awful number does
not include those killed in battle, or
the thousands OF women and children
who have died OF exposure disease and
massacre In the "Managuas" and
swamps,
1t now seems certain that more than
half million people. for the most part,
loyal subjects of Spain, have been kill
ed by Spanish war in Cuba,
A weeks trip through the provinces
OF Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara
has tended to make moderate this tre-
mendouslv extreme figure. The figures
of Spanish official reports show but
part OF the mortality. They only give
the number buried in consecrated
ground-they do not give that fully.
And, yet, these official ultra-Spanish
reports OF burial permits issued admit
that IN the province of Santa Clara
there have died and been buried since
Weyler's fiat 71,Sf persons.
The number of people for whose exist
ence weyler is directly responsible, is
155,132 in Santa Clara province, and OF
these. he has killed S6,216, or over one
half of them.
Santa Clara has so far been by far
the least destitute OF the provinces. Il
has many cattle and not a very thick
population. Between its flfty-three
per cent dead to Pinar Del Rios adj
mitted eighty per cent mortality, re-
spectively. These percentages are es-
tablished now by the actual figures in
some thirty cities and towns. Applied
to the denser populations OF their re-
spective provinces, the total deaths
since weyier's "Bando" will foot up
nearly million.
