WANTED FIRE BELL CLOTHES.

Ne Just Made Up His Mind to XIII
That Town Of st. Joe.
"Ah'm come back home for some clothes,
an All want 'em wahm, said tall young
negro to Walnut street haberdasher one
day last spring. "Ah'm jes' agoin to kill
that town of st. Joe. Show me the heat
eldest clothes 20 got in the house."
He was not cool as to raiment to start
with. His overcoat was cream colored,
oyerlsid with pearl buttons the size Of
those small butter plates still in use In
restaurants. His trousers were green and
ended in yellow shoes with brown shot
silk tops. His hat was light blue, notified
in brown; his gloves were red and his
cane heavily silvered.
"Can't no st. Joe niger tell me All
come from Raytown," he muttered. "Ah
goes up to st. Joe to work, and the coons
there laugh at me and tell me All amt
from Kansas City, because nah clothes Is
so inconspiculous, and All just save up
nah money, and Aim agoin back to kill
the town. Now what want is some I'M
derclothes and socks and shirts and things
that are the wahmest you've got"
"How will these dor" asked the haber-
dasher, exposing some scarlet hosiery,
banded with wide white stripes.
"That's it. That's tho kind Of clothes
All want. They amt nothin in st. Joe
like that. Lemme look at them under
wear"
He inspected some red underwear with
white stripes, some Of baby blue with pink
stripes and others Of green with blue,
black and red stripes. He bought neck
scarfs of every shade Of red, blue and
green and Of the most bewildering pat
terms. His purchases included zebra col
lars and pale pink shirts, diamond scarf
pins at 81 cents each, but with $S5 of
shine, and brown waistcoat with scarlet
moons emblazoned on 1t.
"Ah've got 'em dead" he exclaimed
when he had finished. "They've ceased to
live. When All get back to that town Of
St. Joe they'll ask me if come from Ray
town, will they? Ah'm agoin to take back
to that little ole burg such wahm clothes
that they II meet me with the fab depart
ment. That towns dead now, and Alive

Smoking In the Dark.

Elbow can you account for the well
known fact that cigar when smoked in
the dark loses much of its havor2" was
asked of an alleged philosopher.
"The reason is" said the philosopher,
THAT when all the senses are active each
sense is more active than it would be if it
were doing duty alone. So that when the
eye ceases to work the palate and nose be-
como dulled. To express 1t figuratively,
the eye is endowed with rudimentary
power of smell and in the dark loses not
only Its sight, but its contributing power
of smell. New York Commercial Ad.

pENsEsT FOREST ON EARTH.


-
at Present Rats Of Cutting.
The habitat Of the redwood Is peculiar.
It IL found only Ina narrow strip, closely
hugging the Pacific coast, strstohing from
the southern boundary Of Oregon or just
across the boundary-for there are perhaps
1000 acres of redwood In Oregon-south-
ward through northern California, nearly
to the bay Of San Francisco.
The closest and finest growth Is In
Humboldt county, near the northern end.
That portion in Mendocino and Sonoma
counties IL not a. heavy or continuous,
nor are the trees as valuable for lumber,
as they branch lower down. The wood Is,
however, Of slower growth, is denser and
harder and perhaps more durable. The
best lumber and the heaviest growth arc
everywhere in the valleys and on the flats
On the hillsides the trees are smaller and
not SO close. Nowhere Ia there any young
growth The youngest trees, which are
found only in the northern portion Of the
belt are several hundred years of age.
This is probably tho densest forest on
earth, as measured by the amount Of tim
Der per acre suitable for the sawnill. 1t
is not the size OF the trees alone which
produces this, although they are excep-
tionally large, oven in this state of large
things, but it is the great number Of trees,
the closeness Of their stand. In redwood
forest the sun never shines--it is always
twilight. You are, as 1t were, under the
roof Of a vast temple, a roof Of foliage,
supported by great tree columns.
The area Of the redwood belt has been
carefully mapped and is, as nearly as can
be estimated, 1900 square miles, or ], $780,
600 acres. The stand Of timber on this
area Is not so easy to ascertain, but may
be computed thus:
Feet.
Del Norte ounty.................. 4,0O0, 100000
Humboldt ounty.............. 42,O0O, OOO000
Mendocino county..........".... q, l6O, 0OO0 00
6onoma county, say.............. l,0OO,0 10000
Total. vs. 100. 900 900
The annual cut by the mills Is $50, 000,-
600 feet At the present rate Of cutting,
therefore, the supply will last 800 years.
In the Mendocino county there Is nearly
nine times as much timber on an acre as
in the southern pineries In Humboldt
county, upon 96,443 acres, the average
stand Ia $4,000 feet per acre, nearly II
times as great as In the southern states.
There is one cause of destruction from
which this tree Is entirely exempt; that
is fire. Containing no pitch, but, Oh the
other hand, a largo amount of water, 1T
will not burn when green. No fire can
run In redwood forest. 1t is the only
one Of our coniferous lumber trees which
is thus exempt.
Redwood is in almost universal use on
the California coast. In the construction
of houses little other timber Is used, even
as far south as Los Angeles and San
Diego. 1t is exported as far south as VAL
paradise and westward to Japan and Aus
tralia Indeed, considering its cheapness,
$14 per 1000 feet in Eureka for the best,
1t seems strange that 1t has not found its
way in quantity to the Atlantic coast.
Certain 1t is that before many years red
wood will supplant the now vanishing
white pine in easern markets.

z. & O, Accident,

While running out of GAINESVILLE Fri
day morning train No, II on the 2. &
o. r. ran into freight train standing
on the main track. 1t was a severe
jolt, but nobody was hurt. The front
of the engine pulling No. II was badly
mashed and it was necessary to change
engines before continuing the run.
The accident was due to the local
freight being unprotected by flag or
switch, but we were unable to learn
upon whom the blame is placed.
Train No. II arrived in this city about
a half hour late.
