HOW a MAN MADE $1,000.
Because 1kc Chap Who Lost 1t Told His
Business In q Cafe.

Business In Cafe.
"Don't discuss your private business
affairs in public place. said an old
Brooklynite to the New Yorker who ap-
preached him in cafe near the city
hall. Then the Brooklyn man, pointing
out a real estate dealer, said:
Talking about a business deal in
this very cafe cost that man 1000, and
the money went into my pocket too.
You see, he represented syndicate that
wanted to build on some property in
which was interested as the owner of
one house and city lot. The agent did
not know me from a Canarsie clammer.
Well. he came in here with friend
one of the syndicate-for luncheon on
az afternoon in last July. They took
seats at this table I sat at the next
one.
81 began to take notice, as grand
mas say, when heard the strangers at
the next table discuss quite loudly a
deal in relation to the property adjoin-
ing mine. The agent had ordered fine
layout for luncheon and was evidently
we'll pleased with his deal. He said to
his friend:
"Well, / pulled off the trick for
that property at 219 Cheap street today.
The owner thought was doing him a
favor. / started in at S15, 900 and final
~ closed with him for s1S. 600. He bit
in hurry. Why, the property is worth
$40, 600 if it's worth a dollar to us.
Now must look for the chap that owns
221. He'll be glad to get SIS, 600 for
his house. It's lucky for us they're not
ON to the fact that we want to buy that
entire block.
81 didn't need to do any eavesdrop-
ping, you see. That little speech of the
agent cost him exactly 81, 600. You can
readily guess that /, as the owner of 221
Cheap street, was not especially anxious
to sell after that. I kept Mr.. Real Es-
tate Man on the jump for nearly five
months, and when 1 let up on him I
got my price, exactly $50, O0O-a neat
little profit of $1,000 above what I
would have gladly accepted. So you see
the point of my remark to you, Don't
discuss private business affairs in a pub
lie place. Now we'll go to my office,
and I'll listen to your proposition. -

A LESSON FROM MEXICO.
Destruction of the Forests Has Brought
Drought and Desolation.

Drought and Desolation.
The early conquerors of this country
and their followers of today have been
very wasteful and careless in the dispo-
sition of their forests, with the result
of accelerating the date when they will
be compelled to face problem of forest
preservation at considerable cost to
themselves. Denizens of the northwest
are familiar with the rapidity with
which the valuable timber areas have
been denuded, until now there is scarce
~ a merchantable tree between Ar
kansas and the Canadian line. Many
notes of warnings accompanied this de-
struction of the northern soft wood for
ests, but they fell upon unwilling ears.
Only after it was too late to stop the
mischief did the country begin to recog-
nize the indirect value of forests to agri-
culture and that no high degree of civ
ilization can exist permanently with
out some systematic and adequate forest
management. In India the destruction
of the forests commenced 1000 years
ago, and that country, having at last
seen the folly of such waste, is now en-
gagged i'll the expensive undertaking of
reforesting large areas.
The effect upon rainfall and the pro-
ductiveness of the cultivated tracts has
already been acknowledged by investi-
gators When Cortes first saw the val
ley of Mexico, it was covered with
woods, not dense, but abundant, from
the timber line ON the volcanoes down
TO the waters edge. The reckless cut
ting down Of the forests by the Span
iards in the first century following the
conquest in 1921 increased evaporation,
caused the lakes to dry up, led to fire.
quent droughts, followed by occasional
floods, and changed the climate of
Anahuac.
Any old rancher will tell stories of
streams that flowed when he was boy
and will show the dry arroyo now.
They all claim that the tablelands had
timber in considerable quantities. where
now there are barren deserts.
This goyernment has taken some steps
in the matter, but it is also necessary
for the landowners to assist in this
work by planting trees and irrigating
them for a few years until they have
taken good root. By using good judg
ment in selecting the trees and i'll plant
ing in a few years the complaints
which are now so frequent of years of
droughts will soon become fewer and
fewer until they finally cease.-Mon-

Von.

In Germany "von'' implies nobility,
and all persons who belong to the no.
bility prefix "von" to their names with
out any exception. Persons who do not
belong to the nobility cannot have the
right TO put won before their names.
a man who is knighted for some reason,
however, has the same right to put
won" before his family name as per-
son of ancient nobility. For instance,
when Alexander Humboldt was knight
ed he became Alexander Won Humboldt.
All his descendants, male and female,
take the prefix. -Philadelphia Press.

Record of the Clubs.

The Washington club started out well on
it's first western trip by winning from Pitts
burg Saturday by the score of to 6. Di-
neen aad Lever were the opposing twirl-

work at critical points of the contest. The
Pittsburg Press has the following account
of the game:
What happened to LeeVer?' was the
mystery of yesterdays game. which Wash

through bad fielding, handed the visitors
