There has been a funny account In one
OF the New York papers about a man
named owen Francis Diamond, who told
Magistrate Mays. OF the YorkviIle police
court, that n widow. Mrs. Toye. had
made such desperate overtures to him
that he was going to the Philippines in
order TO get rid Of her.
The man is Is. the widow is about AZ.
The only way that Diamond could elude
Mrs. Toye was to so bicycling. The
widow couldn't spin. But she called the
young man "Owney." and tried to make
the court believe that the twain had
been made one.
All women love diamonds. This par
ticular widow. however. seems to have
gone daft over her particular brilliant.
Her name. Toye, too. has a significance
all It's own. Men have made toys Of
women. so the strong-minded say. for
a long time: but this Toye wants to he
toy no longer. She pines to be a Da-
mond and shine in luster upon the
heart Of her Owney. Only Owney OBJ
tects. and that liz the end OF IT.
The bicycle has Its uses after all. II

II is seldom that a man tries To resist
a widow. He often knows it's no use.

RENEWAL OF FORESTS.

Vast as the forests of the Northwest
are We should not deceive ourselves as
to their future value. Ten years will
witness a terrible denudation of the
forests, but ten years beyond that will
be a very short time In which To repent
and attempt To- renew them. The farmer
would be thought very unwise who de-
pended upon one crop for all his life's
income. Trees are treated. not as re-
movable crop but as mineral which
affords but one yield. Because nature
tempted Ia repienish the forests and a
most valuable source Of wealth lis be-
coming exhausted. Orchardists plant
frui, trees. which cannot give any re-
turn for ten years. but the forests are
stripped and then abandoned

In a late bulletin William J. Bryan an
nounces that he Is lin favor OF the indie
pendence of the Philippines. with Ameri-
can protection" Would that not infer de-
pendence rather, which would seem TO be
contrary to all his former bulletins? The
administrators policy favors .ndepend-
ence under the sovereignty Of the United
States. giving the inhabitants Of the Phil
ippines as much Independence as Ameri-
cans have enjoyed. Under such a policy
our commercial policy OF expansion will
be preserved, giving our people a COM
handing key to the Oriental trade. which
Is destined to become the more valuable
market for the production of the racific

new IoEk COMMERCIAL AQtefISeT.
The published statement that Secretary
Gage had reversed the ruling OF Secretary
Carlisle In deciding to resume the issuance
Of treasury goiG certificates is likely to
give rise 10 a misunderstanding of the
facts by those not familiar with them, be-
cause the statement itself Is incorrect. As
matter Of fact. Secretary Gage by his
decision to resume the issuance OF gold
certificates has practically abandoned the
position he has held on the subject since
he has been secretary Of the treasury and
confirmed the ruling made by Secretary
Carlisle. that the secretary had the right
TO resume the issuance Of gold certificates.
Secretary Carlisle did resume the issuance
OF gold certificates after the gold reserve
had been restored TO an amount in excess
OF $10O. 900 600. and he suspended their issue
again when the gold reserve again fell
below 500, 600 900. Mr.. Carlisle refused to
resume the issuance Of the certificates IA
second time, not because he did not think
he had the right to do 50. or was not re-
Quired to do 50. but simply because ne was
dissatisfied with the use certain bank
ers had made of the privilege of taking
out the certificates after their issuance had
been resumed, and he therefore fell back
upon what he considered to be his discre-
tionary power and point blank refused to
resume the issuance Of the certificates. At
the same time he told the bankers who
asked him to resume that il they thought
he was bound to do so. that Is, that the
question was not a discretionary one. when
the gold reserve amounted to 500. 600.
they could test the question IN the courts
by an application for a peremptory writ OF
mandamus. This was never done, but Mr..
Carlisle has always held that the secre-
tary of the treasury had the right to re-
sumo the issuance of the gold certificates
when the gold reserve exceeded $l0o.o 600.
Anc In that opinion practically all bankers
have concurred. The present secretary OF
the treasury has now. 1t seems, come to
the same conclusion.
The necessity for the gold certificates.
the use they viii he put to by hanks. the
convenience they will be to the public
through the banks. and the currency they
will release and make available for general
circulation are TOO well known to intelligent,
well-informed business men to need re-
equalization here.

work has. however. been done BY farm
err and other owners Of small tracts OF
woodland. Very many farmers have
made a practice Of thinning their wood
lots with care. first removing the dead.
dying or unpromising trees and then
letting the remainder stand In order to
utilize the growth Of the trees and TO
obtain continually from the wood lot
arewood and other material for the
farm. and. occasionally. q crop Of larger
trees for the market. other farmers,
again. devote a number Of acres to the
production OF hardwood sprouts for fuel.
They cut over the land every twenty
five or thirty years and calculate that
from one-half 10 one cord OF wood Is
produced annually by this system OF
forestry. Tree planting on waste places
on the farm Is yet another kind OF for
estry which has been practiced. Work
Of this character In now widespread, and
80 much OF 1t has been accomplished
that material for a thorough treatment
Of the subject is fast accommodating. In
New England there are numerous In
stances Of planting white pine on waste
places with excellent results. and in
Massachusetts, the planting Of larch has
proved highly satisfactory. Many farm
ers have found IL profitable to plant To-
Gust and red cedar for fence posts. and
In more than one case the cultivation
Of black walnut has brought large re-
turns. In the central West the fast
growing catalpa and the ailanthus have
produced remarkable results In short
periods In the hands Of private growers.
A distinct branch OF tree planting Is
that practiced In the treeless states Of
the Wect. There, in addition to the uses
to which their wood Is put, trees have
proved Of great value in the form Of
wind breaks. In these cases the best
results have generally been obtained
from the Usage orange. catalpa. maple.
elm. box elder. Norway spruce. Scotch
pine and others. according to differing
local conditions.
OF minor importance. perhaps. but
important enough to be given attention.
Is the planting Of trees along the banks
OF streams. This has the effect OF check
ing erosion and on cultivated hillsides.
which have begun to gully from the
washing Of rains. trees have been made
to do good service In checking the ex-
cessive surface drainage and saving the
fertile soil
The division OF forestry asks for sug-
gestions and for information concerning
attempts to renew forest trees, and 1t
will cheerfuily aid all who are seeking
to remedy ser!ouy evil.
