things that go with this popular pro-
duction, win hold forth tonight at the
Worcester Theatre. 1t is not the first
time that Daniels has appeared here in

But this fact will not affect the at

Daniels, of course, will tell his friends
all about how he 'just dropped in in an
OFF hand sort of way" as well as cut

made him, in the. opinion of so many,
the best mani in COMIC si2eFa on the

 ! 'I kacv what I an ts!kiug about. % remarked 8 member of Congress, when I say that a Congressman has troubles of his own. It's fine thing to be a statesman and show up in the national parade of greatness at the capital. but there's good deal more to it than that. And one of the things that is hardest to bear is what they say about us. Why, lady can't come up here and ask to see a member that there aren't half dozen people to wink and shake the head and a lot more of the same to make him wish all the women were in hades. Of course, there is some ground among us for remarks, just as there is among preachers and doctors and bod carriers and everybody else human, and l know woman or two who find their chief delight Tn trying to involve Con- gressmen and their officials Tn any kind of Irritation that comes handy. They are pretty and persuasive, and before a man knows what he is about he is down in the Senate restaurant paying for a lunch and listening to some kind of tale of woe.
 But they miss it now and then. and l am glad to note an instance which occurred only day or two ago. A member from a Northern State had been invited to call at the lady's hotel the next day and she had asked him to let her know if he would come. He wrote, saying Among other things: To- morrow, madam, l hope to see the lov- eliest woman in the whole world. Naturally she was pleased, and told all the people around the hotel about it. The next day he did not appear, and the next she saw him at the Capitol and asked hIm what he ment by treating her so.
 '"What did l do?' he asked inno- gently.
 "'You said you were coming to see me, she said, b.usL5ng at the remem- hrance of his words.
 ...I think not
 Indeed, you did, she insisted 1 You said you would see the loveIIest woman in the world and she blushed | again.
 ''Oh, beg your pardon,' he said, smiling. I meant my wife. She just arrived yesterday"

made to apply impartially to all mem- bers of the house, but when applied, as It has been, solely to anti-republican members, it is more than outrageous it IS depriving the representative of the people of their constitutional right to be heard at all times.
 The United States reward has been increased to $1,500 for the arrest of any person or persons who were connected with the killing of the negro postmaster at Lake City, South Carolina, and his child, and number of government de- tectives have been put on the case. The members of the South Carolina delega- ton in congress all say that the state authorities are also trying to run down and punish the perpetrators of this bar barous crime.

Didn't Know.

Amos Cummings tells the following incident which happened in the house recently:
 A laughable incident occurred during the consideration of the Indian appro- priation bill. Mark Smith of Arizona was ridiculing the idea of educating the Indian. He alluded to the thousands of Indians in Arizona and wanted to know what they would do with them when they learned to read and write Al James Sherman -l Utica .eu.le1 that they would make citizens out of them. "Yes," responded Smith, "you would make a citizen out Of him as soon as he could sing psalm."
 'Yes," put in Mr. Sherman, "we would make Christian citizen out of him then"
 To which Mark responded: "And all that he is able to do is to recite a verse and sing psalm. There are thieves in the penitentiary who can do both ''
 'I do not know about that" gravely responded MT. Sherman: "I never was in the penitentiary.

FOREST RESERVE.
The Petrified Forest Near HOl-
 brook Set Apart.
Mining and Scientific Press.I Land Commissioner Hermann ia q

Land Commissioner Hermann is al
 )rk on 8 special report to thc score
 ry of the interior. recommendius ba.
 orest reserve be ras3e ont ot the pet
 jed forest of Arizons
 Recent reports received by the in5e-
 lor department about the condition ot 5lis forest indicate that it is rapidly l being used up for commercial purposes, and unless tue government steps ln to stop the despoilment the whole forest. which is one of the greatest natural curiosities in the world, will disappear. There is now building in Denver a motel. all the walls of which are to be faced with the silicifed woood to be taken from the forest, and all the tables for the hotel are also to be made of it. At this rate of consumption it would not be long before ail the petrifed wood would be used up. Commissioner Hermann thinks that there is imme- diate necessity for action on the part of the department. It is his opinion the best way in which the forest can be preserved IS to make it forest re- serve.
 The forest is located near Holbrook. in Apache county Arizona. The larg- est and finest specimens of silicifed wood in the world are taken from it. Whole trunks of trees and stunps with portions of the roots are found there, converted into stone as dense and hard as the finest agate. Every cell and every fiber of the former wood IS pre- served in stone. A forest of trees ap- pears 10 have been entombed in the rocks and to have been preserved by slow process of replacement by silica from solutions permeatlng the bed. Subsequently the surrounding sedi- ments were washed away, but the en during fossils of the trees remained.
 Tons upon tons of specimens have been taken away by collectors and dealers. 4 company has been formed in South Dakota fer cutting and polish ing stone for architectural and decora- tive word. Sections Of these trees faur feet in diameter and large enough for the tops of tables have been cut and polished. Many specimens were shown at the Paris exposition, where they were greatly admired for the perfect preservation of every detail ot structure of the wood, for the very high polish and for the exquisite interblendlng of colors in the mass, due to the presence of various oxides in the original sllici- lying solutions. No other country in l the world, it is claimed, can send to the lapidary such magnificent raw maternal of this nature as the petritied forest of Arizona afford. Not even the imperial works at Exaterinburg in Russia, with their wealth of kalk&nsto jasper, mas sive malachite and other superb orna- mental stones, can rival the beauty of the agatized wood of Arizona.
 Commissioner Hermann is confident that Secretary Bliss will agree with him, when the facts are brought to his of the wisdom of making some provisions to protect this wonder fuI curiosity from despoilment.
