The Dewey family continues to DEM
onstrate that the admiral of that ilk is
not the only member of the clan who
deserves well of the country. The
Dewey family is blessed with modesty
and common sense. The admiral's
brother, president of an insurance COM
pany, declined with considerable heat
all propositions involving the use of the
admiral's fame as an adjunct to the
insurance business. The admiral's son
and namesake, being appointed on q
public reception committee, declines to
pose as national hero. 81 have no
right" he says, ''to figure in demon
strations. 1 ought to keep quiet. 1
haven't done anything for the country"
1t may be said that this is merely the
language of sensible young man, but
when we consider the long list of papa's
sons who haven't done anything either,
yet who are all saviors of the nation,
we have to give young Dewey proper
need of praise. Modesty is virtue
unfortunately rare in this free and
enlightened republic. Chicago Chron-

Debt is considered by most people as
an Indifferent affair, a mere convenience
or inconvenience, as the case may be.
On this point writer in the New York
Tribune says: 'But it is an evil which
can be removed, and ought to be remov-
ed, by an appeal to every man and
woman having it in their power to pay
promptly all debts contracted for labor
or goods. Not to do this is not only to
wrong those Immediately interested,
but many others who are in turn depen-
dent upon one another's ability to pay.
1t is useless to multiply examples of the
deplorable consequences which are sure
to follow where the payment of just
debt is withheld. 1t is species of cruelty
that ought not to go unpunished in
civilized community. Cannot the press
emphasize and reiterate the sentiment
of every thoughtful citizen on this SUBJ
ject until the guilty ones shall be shamed
into compliance with the demand of
human brotherhood-'Pay that thou
Owest."

A MAY WOOlNG.

She was always at work In the window
above
When he cantered along on his mettle-
some mare;
Her eyes were as soft as the throat of
dove,
And the gold of the danodn slept in her
hair;
He dwelt in the mansion that frowned on
the hill;
Her cot with the wind and the weather
was gray,
But she flung him rose from the bush by
the sill,
And he caught it. and kissed it. one morn
ing in May.
His coat was the finest that money could
buy,
And a monarch might covet the ring on
his hand;
Her gown was a woolen of soberest dye,
And her busy brown fingers were rough
ened and tanned.
But he paused to look back by the vine
covered sti1e,
And he lifted his cap In the courtliest
way;
So sweet was her face. and SO sunny her
smile,
Framed in by the blossoming branches of
May.
The mettlesome mare in the moonlight

And her master within had forgotten his
pride
As he knelt and repeated loves rapturous
tale
In sunshine or shadow the prints of his feet,
With spurs on the boot-heels, were point
ed that way,
For the wooing was swift, and the winnin g
was sweet,
In the shade Of the dew-laden lilacs of
May.

The mice are at play on the carpetless
floor,
And the sparrows, unstartled. peer over the

Or roll in the dust-hollows close to the

Where lackeys in yellow and crimson are

American Lumber.

We use every year eight times as
much wood and more than three times
as much lumber as the frugal Germans
and at least four times as much lumber
as our cousins in Great Britain, who
have to import almost every stick they
use and have learned to substitute
stone and iron where possible. How
foolish must those good people appear,
who in the fear of the evil consequences
of forest destruction propose to stop
the lumberman from cutting any more
trees. Look around you and learn how
much we depend on wood in our daily
life; you will then understand that we
shall always need lumbermen to cut
and make useful the trees of the forest,
albeit we may get the lumberman to
adopt somewhat different methods
from those he pursues now, or to asso-
ciate him with the forester who knows
how to cut trees so that they will pro-
duce a good new crop, or, where need
ed, plants them.-B. E. Fernow, LII. D.,

''When the curtain goes down" said
the stage manager, ''play the national

"All right" replied the German who
was acting as leader of the orchesta for
the evening.
Just before the curtain fell on the last
act, the stage manager was surprised
by the sudden appearance behind the
scenes of the agitated and perspiring
musician who asked him in agonizing
whisper: "Vot ish de mach nal hymn

A man who had not been to church
for very long time, says London
exchange, finally hardened to the per-
suasions of his wife and decided to go.
He got the family all together, and they
started early. Arriving at the church,
there were very few people in it and
no pew openers at hand, so the man led
his family well up the aisle and took
possession of nice pew.
Just as the service was about to begin
pompous looking old man came
in, walked up to the door of the pew
and stood there, exhibiting evident
surprise that it was occupied. The
occupants moved over and offered him
room to sit down, but he declined 10 be
seated. Finally the old man produced
a card and wrote upon it with pencil:
81 pay for this pew"
,,He gave the card to the strange oc-
cupant, who, had he been like most
people, would have at once got up and
left. But the intruder adjnsted his
glasses and with smile read the card.
Then he calmly wrote beneath it:
"How much do you pay year?"
To this inquiry the pompous old gen.
tleman, still standing, wrote abruptly:
'Ten pounds"
The stranger smiled as though he
were pleased, looked around to compare
the pew with others, admired its nice
cushions and furnishings and wrote
back:
81 don't blame you. 1t is well worth
it,
The pompous old gentleman at that
stage collapsed into his seat
