An Omen of Ill Luck

It is a singular fact that in almost all
countries the superstition about peacock
plumes is the same. 1t is universally
to be the cause of Ill luck,
and though the shading and coloring of
the feathers are usually brilliant and
beautiful any woman with a love of
and happiness will invariably
avoid decorating any of her apartments
or possessions with the ill-omened
plumeS

THE STAIRWAY, MOUNT VERNON

Stairway, worn by the tread of Time,
The echoes around thee blending,
Present and Past. in mingled chime,
Sound clear and sweet,
Like willing feet
Every morn to work descending.
Slowly again they upward climb.
The day and its cares are ending;
Pauses-like broken slaves Of rhyme
In silence greet
The weary feet
Every night to rest ascending

Wise Boy

He persisted in using fragment Of
his broken slate, much to his teachers
disgust.
why don't you tell your mother you
broke your slate" she asked. I'm sure
she'd get you a new one"
"'Course she would" replied the boy
"and she'd call 1t a Christmas present.
I'd rather wait till next term before
ask for it."-Chicago Paper.

less perfect, only part of the wall at
the southeast corner being missing.

Couldn't Spit in Church

A bishop of church conference in
Georgia told those delegates who used
not to expectorate on the floor
or on the handsome new carpet, which
had recently been put down. He told
them that IL they must chew tobacco to
go outside and they would find nice
new curbstone and plenty of fresh sand
to expectorate upon, or they could bring
their cuspidors. and in case Of emer-
gency they could use their hats.

Electric Lights to Aid Singers

Singers, actors and public speakers

light, have less trouble with their voices
and are less likely to catch cold; their
throats are not SO parched, and they feel

vitiated and the temperature Is more

him his valuable time.
Two years ago I spent some two weeks
on the Sequoia reservation, in the high
part of the Sierra Nevada, near the base
of Whitney. A whole company of SOL
diers had charge Of the reservation, and
we met squads of them continually put
ting out fires. Imagine the absurdity Of
using soldiers in this way, paying the
expense of maintaining a company of
cavalry at that altitude to extinguish
fires that Tom, Dick and Harry were too
lazy to put out themselves. I saw a
dozen places where the parties that
made the fires could have been trailed
right up in an hour or less, the steps of
their pack train leading right away from
the escaping fire. The slightest care in
watching such a party would catch them
in the act of going off leaving large
camp fire burning in the rising breeze.
And yet all the soldiers did that could
see or hear of was to put out the fire.
The whole treatment Of the subject Of
forest preservation has been Of this ma
ture, the most ridiculous trifiing with a
most serious subject. Tons of words
have been squandered showing how the
preservation of the forests is important,
when no one ever questioned 1t: thou
sands of dollars have been spent by the
government in care that the camper and
sheepherder merely laughs at, while no
one has taken the slightest care to get
a law passed that would be Of any use.
There are various details of forest
patrol, districts, and other regulations
that would be very well, but the first
thing needed is a law that makes it
unnecessary to prove any negligence,
and allows no amount of care as de-
fense. We might as well allow one to
