Louis XIV is said to have used the ex-
preston quoted above, when his attention
was called to the way affairs were drift
ing in France. After us, the deluge," said
he; and the deluge came in time. 1t was
one OF blood. IT overwhelmed the Bour-
bon dynasty, carried desolation over
France and made Europe one great battle
field, for a quarter of a century
There is room for the application of the
epigram at present though the deluge is
of different character Those who are
cutting down or otherwise destroying the
great forests of the country might say.
After US, the deluge." AS a matter of
fact, however the deluge is not waiting to
come after them. Deluges are coming
while they are here and prosecuting their
work of destruction. The denudation of
vast forest tracts in the northwest has let
the water rush into the rivers without let
or hindrance, and consequent foods in the
Missouri, Mississippi and other great riv-
ers are destroying many lives and millions
Of dollars worth of property
In Georgia, Florida. Alabama and other
southern states the grand old forests of
pine are rapidly disappearing. Inc destroy
ers seem to have no thought for the fu
ture. They make no steps to replace that
which they take away. The influence of
forests upon rainfall, moisture and sea
sons" is pretty well understood. The
point has about been reached at which it
is necessary that something should be done
to put a stop to forest destruction. If
steps to that end are not taken it will not
be a great while before this section will
suffer a succession of droughts, floods and
severe storms.
There should be some way of preserving
the forests for the general good. Our peo-
pie are selling their birthright for a mess
of pottage 1t is well enough that lands
should be cleared up for settlement, but
millions Of acres of forests are disappear
ing every year, and very little is coming
in to compensate for the loss.

Wires Inderrrnnnd.

The Willingness or unwilingness of the
| corporations to put their electric wires IN
foreground should not be the considera-
ton. The question of overhead or under
ground wires is one to be looked at from
the standpoint of the general public due
attention being given to the rights and in
terests of the corporations.
1t viii probably not be denied that there
are too many overhead wires in the bus
mess portion OF this city. Some of them
carry dangerous currents Of electricity;
currents that would kin man or a horse.
or set a1re a building, under certain cir
cumstances. The great majority of the
wires carry, normally. small and harm
less currents. But there is perpetual dan
ger that some of them may become
crossed" with the heavily charged wires
and turn loose unexpected bolts Of light
ming in unlocked for places
In case of fire. the overhead wires are
not only an obstruction to the hremen.
but some of them are a menace to their
lives. a current Of electricity will leave
a wire to follow stream Of water if the
stream offers it shorter path through
which to travel to its destination than that
furnished by the wire In such instances,
the man handling the nozzle with wet
hands and standing upon the wet ground,
is In a first-class position to be electro
cuted."
In times of storm the overhead wires
become q serious menace to life on the
streets. The people of this city remember
bor
head wire dangling at the corner of Aber-
corn and Bryan streets, snuned out a hui
man life. During the last storm the cleo
trio companies. with promptness. shut off
their currents. But the city was without
lights for long time. With an under
ground wire system, the lights could have
been turned on the following night; and
the companies would have avoided consid-
cradle expense for cleaning away wreck
age and Strengthening out tangles.
Considerable, and commendable, work at
putting wires under ground is being done
atpresent. The citys line of policy should
be to the end of getting all of the wires. in
the business section at least underground
at the earliest possible moment. Without
the very best of reasons no more overhead
wires should be permitted
1t should also be the city's policy to
bring about gradually the removal of the
unsightly wooden poles from Bull and Lib
erty streets, Oglethorpe avenue and the
squares, and to replace them with iron
poles of more or less ornate designs. These
boulevards and squares can never attain
to the perfection of their possibilities for
beauty while they are disfgured with the
ugly wooden poles

Put Them on the Roads.

Seven cOnvicts who We're working on a
turpentine farm in Worth county reached
the conclusion the other day that they
desired a change of air. They therefore
accepted from the guard the surrender of
his gun, and stroled away under no re-
straint save alone that of their own sweet
will The case is not exceptional Every
day or two there are printed reports of
escapes from convict camps. The convicts
work about the camps until they get the
lay of the land; and then they quit, and
prey upon honest labor.
Under the present system the treatment
Of the convicts runs to extremes A few
of them-a very few-are punished with
considerable cruelty. Occasionally we hear
Of a convict who has died of brutal treat
ment; and then there is a scandal on the
states hands. But in a great many cases
the convicts are not punished at all. The
burly black man is not punished by put
ting him to work in a saw mill or upon
a turpentine farm. He is not worse off
than he was before he went to the pen
itentiary. Indeed his circumstances are
often improved by going to the peniten-
tiary. In the saw mill or upon the tur-
pentine farm he works just so much, and
no more; he has a plenty to eat, comfort
able clothes to wear and a place to sleep
He is virtually at liberty but if the noml-
nal captivity becomes irksome to him he
has little difficulty in shaking the dust
of the camp from his feet. The treatment
he receives neither reforms him nor deters
him from crime in future.
What is wanted is a convict system
which will make the sentence, "at hard
labor" mean what 1t says and which will
leave upon the convict's mind an impress
sion that will abide with him when he be-
comes an ex-convict. Such a system may
be based upon working the convicts on
the public roads under state supervision.
Chain-gang work on the roads is vastly
different from showing lumber at saw
mill. or chipping turpentine boxes in the
wild woods Work on the roads, further
more. would result in public good, and
not private profit.

A Practical Judge.

Judge Mcguire, one of the California
members, is a good story teller, and when
the judge sits down in one of the cloak
rooms to enjoy his cigar, half dozen of
his colleagues will always gather around
III the hope of getting him started on some
or his western "reminiscences, says the
Washington Post Most of these have to
do with matters that have occurred in
some court or other on the Pacific slope.
"A certain well known judge in Califor-
MIA" said Mr.. Mcguire, in one of his rem
iniscent moods, sis great stickler for
punctuality He was worse when he first
went on the bench than he is now, how
ever. In those days have known him to
fine an attorney $40 for being late as many
minutes and read him long lecture be-
sides. No excuse was accepted for being
late, and punctuality became quite the
rule in that court
''One morning the Judge himself failed
to put in an appearance on time OF
course ali the attorneys were there
promptly and there was great hilarity
during the ten minutes wait that ensued.
When the judge appeared he was greeted
with numerous sarcastic inquiries about
his health. He paid no attention to these
remarks, however, but, soberly taking his
seat on the bench, he leaned forward and
said:
" This court. gentlemen, is no respecter
of persons. Mr.. Clerk, you will enter UP
fine of $40 against the court. Then he
took $40 out of his pocket and handed it
to the clerk, adding, and please mark
it paid. 30

Caseneuve's Rival.

Although the French courts are conduct
ed with more ceremony than our own,
they are occasionally enlivened by anus
ing incidents, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
Maitre Caseneuve, a famous advocate of
Toulouse. now dead, had a pet dog, of
which he was very fond. One day he ven
tured to take this dog, which was small
and named Azor into court with him.
He seated Azor a one end of the bench
assigned to counsel and began an argu-
ment.
Maitre Caseneuve had a high-pitched
voice, and as he warmed up with his plea
he raiseE it to loud tone. Azor could
stand it no longer He stood up on the
bench and howled-"Wow! wowl wowv'
Maitre Caseneuve moderated his voice
and cuffed the dog aside" whereupon
Azor subsidized into silence The lawyer
argued on and by and by, forgetting him
self in his earnestness, raised his voice
once more to a high pitch and loud tone.
Wow! WOW! wow!" howled the little
dog once more.
This time the lawyer stopped short,
turned to the dog and eyed him severely.
See here, Azor," he said aloud, this
can't go on. If you are arguing this case
you'd better do 1t alone. but If 1 am then
you've got to keep stillv'
After that Azor held his peace.

1--WE Won't Go Home TIN Morning.

An interesting history of an old and
well-known comic tune has been given
by a professor of music, says the Scottish
Leader. He said that when the army of
the first Napoleon was in Egypt in 1893
the camp for a while was near the Pyra-
mids.
One afternoon. about sunset the band
was playing. The inhabitants of the des-
ert had collected near, and were listening
to the music. Nothing unusual happened
until the band struck up a tune which we
now hear under the name of 1--WE won't
so home till morning"
Instantly there was the widest demon
stration of joy among the Bedouins. They
embraced each other, and shouted and
danced in the delirium of their pleasure.
The reason was that they were listening
to the favorite and oldest tune of their
people.
The professor states that the tune had
been taken to Egypt from Africa in the
eleventh century by the Crusaders, and
had lived separately in both countries for
over 700 years. This is certainly enough
to make I'VE won't go home till morning"
classic. It's origin is more of a mystery
than the source of the Nile.

Wnldensen In the south.

It is announced that during the cur
rent spring more than 1000 Wal
denses will arrive in Tennessee from their
present home in the Alps. AS soon as 1t
Is possible to do so under the law, they
will take out naturalization papers. and
become citizens of the United States. The
Waldenses began a movement from Italy
some years ago, and planted three colo
MES in the two Americas One of them
is in the Argentine Republic, one Is in
Uruguay, and one is in Tennessee, near
the North Carolina state line. The Ten
nessee colony now numbers something like
400 members. Their experience has been
such as to induce their friends in their
old home to decide upon the United States
as the most desirable country to which to
emigrate, and large number of them are
preparing to make the change during the
current spring. 1t is said also, that the
South American colonies may sell their
possessions and join their friends in Ten
nessee.
The experimental colony of WaIdenses in
Tennessee is now four years. old. During
that time there have been no fights, ar
rests, disputes or law suits among the
members OF the colony, or between colo
nists and outsiders. They have never
failed to pay a debt promptly on time, or
to keep an engagement. There is not an
idler in the colony. 1t presents the in
dustrious appearance of a beehive. II
winter, when the farm work is slack, the
colonists engage in small manufacturing
in their homes, or work as operatives in
the cotton factories. On their farms they
cultivate practically everything known to
southern agriculture. Besides farming,
the newcomers will engage in stone quar-
rying, mica mining, tanning and saw-mill-
ing. 1t is probable also that several small
factories will be erected upon their col
ony lands. which is near Morganton, and
on the Western Carolina railroad
1t should be, and is, a matter of con
graduation 10 the south that she is gee
ting such desirable immigration, both for
eign and domestic. The ordinary immi-
grant from Italy. starting from the slums
of some city. with his head full of an
archistic ideas and his belt full of con-
cealed stiettos, almost invariably drifts
westward upon arrival in this country if
he does not stop in or near the port of
entry. He never becomes a citizen but
remains a discordant element. The ex-
traordinary immigrant from Italy-the
Waldensian-comes south, buys land, be-
comes a citizen, works hard and becomes
useful and prosperous member of the
community. The south welcomes all such
immigrants.

The Ranker,n Bluff.

Did you ever realize that there is
still to be exercised in the making of an
effective bluff. Nearly every man in a
pinch Is anxious to frighten the opposi-
ton, but everything depends upon the
way in which it is done" This was the
philosophy of the retired banker, and a
story went with it, says the Detroit Free
Press.
In one of the Colorado towns that has
recently become a city I was running a
private bank and there was another in,
sutution of the same kind in the place
We loaned heavily on real estate in those
days and a sudden collapse of the boom
left our securities greatly DEPRECATED
Undr such circumstances rumors that We
could not pay soon gained circulation and
we had to make the best preparation we
could for a run
1t came in true western fashion, with
rush, with threats and a flourish OF
guns among the more excited. Ny rival
took the old plan of paying at but one
window, making each transaction as long
as possible and thus staving off the in
evitable while hoping against hope. He
announced to the crowd every few min
utes that he could pay dollar for dollar,
put his anxiety was so apparent that it
made the depositors more insistent.
i took the other tack in making my
bluff. 1 had raked together enough TO
stand a good stiff pull, so 1 told all hands
to stop everything else and ordered each
one to become a paying teller. 1 also
posted notices that the doors of the bank
would remain open until every one was
paid, even if it took all night. This set
the crowd to guessing and it eased up
good deal. My next move was to place
money in the hands of friends, have them
mingle with the mob beseiging the other
bank and then rush over and deposit with
me. This ruse turned the tide and by G
O'Clock had more on deposit than when
the run began.
