and as loog as time shall last
I will scar and curse the rich and Door With

No mortal that lives or plant that grows can
endure my awful wrath.
The world Is too narrow and far too small to
escape my mighty path.

And when they have reached perfection and

The annual report of the Pennsyl-
vania department OF agriculture for
1898 views the laws OF that State,
passed In the spring of 1897, for the
preservation and protection Of forests,
as Of vast Importance TO the common
wealth. These laws recognized the
fundamental principle that the forests
are actually of more use to the state
than to the Individual" one of them
provided bounty not exceeding 10
cents per acre per annum to the owners
Of forest lands maintaining at least
fifty trees per acre in sound condition;
the trees to measure not less than eight
inches at n height of six feet from the
ground, and no individual to be paid on
more than fifty acres. Provision was
also made for the acquisition by the
State, for forestry purposes, of three
tracts Of land, of 10000 acres each, at
the headquarters Of the Delaware, the
Susquehanna and the Ohio. Another
provision, copied from the Minnesota
act, established a fire warden service.
Considerable progress has been made
in the purchase Of lands for the pro-
posed reserves, and the fire warden SER
vice is declared TO have given satisfac-
tory results. Attention is called to the
great advantage which may accrue to
Pennsylvania through the refOresting
OF cut-Over and other areas with trees
adapted for the manufacture of wood
pulp, an industry which is yearly as
Stunning larger proportions. A pulp
wood forest started now, with a suf-
ficient area under scientific care, would
in the next generation become a source
OF vast revenue TO the State.

CHARLEY ROSS. noon OF july -
1874. Through the efforts of Allan E.
Pinkerton, a complete description OF
the kidnapers was obtained, but no
definite clew to their whereabouts or
that of the child could be had. In
spired by reward of $4,000, profess
sional and amateur detectives worked
on the case for years, but the mystery
was never satisfactorily solved. Some
years ago it was asserted that there
was strong evidence to show that a
"croOk" named Mosher was RESPONSE
BILE for the abduction, but he died be-
fore the matter could be investigated.
The police theory is that the boy was
stolen in hope of getting a ransom Tor
his release, as his parents were well-'O-
do people. All their means were eA'
hausted in their long search for theH
child, and the father was finally com
PEELED to accept a mental position ID or
