FRFrgHT WRECH ON THE IRON
 MOUNTAIN RAILROAD.
seven Ride stealers Killed Outright and Others
 Fatally Injured.

VAN BuREN, Ark, Sept. 13.-One of the most disastrous freight wrecks that has ever occurred on the Iron Mountain road happened at Hanson, F T.. D small station twenty miles west of Van 6uren, at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, resulting in the killing of seven tramps and the se- rious injury of six others, none of the trainmen, fortunately, being hurt. The wrecked train was local freight No. 46, from Coffeeyille, Kas., to Van Buren, and was in charge of Conductor Walter Mann.
 The train was late and was run hing eighteen or twenty miles an hour. ard vas on a steep down grade, when one the forward trucks of a box ear, three cars from the engine, broke, wreeking fifteen cars loaded with baled hay and walnut logs. being shipped to Van Buren from points in the Territory. With the exception Of two cars in front and three in the rear, including the eaboose, every car of the twenty was ditched.
 THE DEATH AGENCIES.
 In the middle Of the train was a car loaded with heavy machinery for cotton gin, and it was in this car that thirteen men were stealing ride, and from which seven dead and six seriously wounded were taken by the trainmen shortly afterwards.
 Itappears that the occupants of the WI lecked car was party of men and boys living at Yian, I. T., and were coming to Van Buren to find employment picking cotton. When the car in which they lwere stealing . ride left the rails, it fell on its side, the most of the men being caught by the heavy machinery with which the car was loaded. A car uf logs was piled on top of the car in which the men were riding, and that any escaped instant death is but little short of a miracle.

Canada's Forest Wealth.

The forests OF Canada have supplied
more or less the wants of Europe for
centuries. From the earliest days o.
its occupation bv 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 and spars, AMI issued stringent
regulations Tor the preservation Of the
standing oak When the country was
first ceded to Great Britain but little
attention was paid at first to its vast
timber supply, owing to the fact that
almost the whole of the Baltic trade
was carried on in British bottoms,
and that the tin Der OF Northern Eu-
rope provided an unfailing and con-
venient return freight for the ship
ping thus engaged. When, however,
the troubles of the Napoleonic era
commenced, and especially when the
continental blockade was enforced,
the timber supplies Of the Baltic be-
coming uuctf ialu anu iESuliCicut, az
rention was directed TO the North
American colonies, with the result Of
increasing the quantity OF timber
which reached Great Britain from
1000 tons IN the year 1900 to 125, 800
tons in 1910 and to 30S, 900 tons in
1920. Ia 1895 the amount exported
to the United Kingdom showed to al

from Montreal, over a half century ago.
When he grew TO manhood he came 10
California, where he engaged in a mer-
camille pursuit, living in Alameda ana
San Francisco for thirteen years. But
art and literature proved more to ms
liking, and he finally decided to give up
his business and take up these profess
sions as a means of livelihood. Mr..
Cox left San Francisco for New York,
in which city he has resided ever since.
He began to contribute poems and
sketches of a humorous nature to the
| magazines and comic weeklies, always
illustrating his own work. His success
| was marked from the first, and what he
did met with a ready acceptance. His
| first Brownie story, called The
Brownies Ride" was written over

fc urteen years ago, and it originally
appeared in st. Nicholas" Its popu
larity was instantaneous, and letters
editor of that magazine from all parts
of the country. Mr.. Cox had struck a
wonderful new vein, and he at once
proceeded to develop it. He continued
writing about the Brownies and draw
ing pictures Of them, while public in
came familiar with his comical sprites.
His work appeared in st Nicholas
and the Ladies Home Journal" mag
aZines with a far-reaehing circulation.
1t was afterward published in book
form. In all Mr.. Cox has written FIVE
Brownie books, which have sold a half
million copies. Together they contain
140 stories, with thousands of illustra-
tions.

There is no one among the younger
novelists of whom more is expected
than Paul Leicester Ford. Two years
or more ago he published his first novel,
THE Honorable Peter Sterling" which
has had the unusual and almost unpre-

tinuous and successful sale ever since.
1t is unusual, too, in this respect-that
it is almost the first American political
novel that has been a decided success
Mr. Ford is most interesting person

well equipped library of his father in
Brooklyn, N. Y, which is one OF the
best private historical libraries in the
