WALNUT WOOD is DEAR.
A Good Grove of Trees VIII Bring n
Snug Fortune Any Day.

Snug Fortune Any Day.
Indiana timber land, which was con-
sidered the best in the country, is be-
ing so rapidly denuded of the once
splendid forests of hard wood timber
that spectators are seeing the advan-
tage Of gObbling up everything that
may be got in the way of timber tracts.
The walnut and hickory Of Indiana
and Ohio are considered the best that
| can be had, and the monster poplars
which once formed the nucleus for the
| log heap fire are now worth individu-
ally more as they stand than the acres
they occupy will bring when cleared,
many a poplar tree selling for 500 be-
fore an Ak touched it.
The walnut that was once so plenti-
full that barn timbers, house stills, fence
rails, etc. were made from it Is becom-
ing exceedingly scarce, and curled wal
nut stumps have brought almost fabu-
lous prices, while hickory of the she'll
bark variety can scarcely be found in
some of the best sections.
Last years purchase by a Goshen
Qnd.) firm of 50 standing walnut trees
near the northern Indiana line for $10,-
600 and the handsome sum they make
out of the handling of this rare clump
Of trees have proved an incentive in
the search for timber in other direc-
tons. Grant county furnished a no.
ticeable instance in the sale Of the
1,030 acres of virgin forest on the
Wood tract, the last large forest in In
diana, for $4,000. A New York firm
bought the walnut timber where it
stood for $4,000. Four hundred acres
of land, the timber being reserved by
the seller, sold for $4,000, and there
remain $50 acres Of the best timber in
Indiana, the walnut alone being sold
from it. The buyers will clear $4,000
by their deal in that timber.
Where years ago the lumbermen
went for only large tracts they are now
content with individual trees, and
wherever there is a notably fine forest
monarch of the desirable variety it's
whereabouts become widely known,
and the competition to secure it is very

Marriage Is Too Easy.

"The present open door policy fol
marriage in America cannot exist much
longer" writes Edward Box In The
Ladies' Home Journal. THE question
must be met, and it should be met
sQuarely. Any discussion of divorce
IS untimely; it is futile at the moment
1t is graphing with the question at the
wrong end. Whether divorce is right
or wrong; whether there should be di-
vOrce at all, and on what grounds a
decree Of divorce should be granted
these are not the pressing questions of
the hour. The whole matter of divorce
does not begin to stand in such urgent
need of discussion as does the ques-
ton Of the laws of marriage. When
we adjust marriage as we should ad-
just it, then we can give our attention
to divorce. And then we shall find that
in adjusting the one we shall have
come pretty close to the wisest and best
adjustment Of the other. The practical
solution of both, in short, lies in the
proper adjustment and rigid enforce
ment of laws which shall make mar.
riage more difficult Of accomplish
ment."

USED BULLETS OF GOLD,
How a BOer Sharpshocter Avenged
the Death of His Sons.

tne DcHtn OF Ills sons.
According to a London dispatch, the
Eclalr publishes story sent in by q
Frenchman, who received it from a fel
low countryman serving with the Beers
in Natal. The hero is burgher named
Van Bosboom. who is considered one
of the best shots in the Transvaal. He
Is said never to have missed buck, q
Kaffir or wild ostrich since he was 16
years Of age, and he is now 50. Van
BOSboom has taken notable part In
all the wars waged by the Transvaal,
both against the natives and the Eng
lish. and has always scored heavily as
deadly markSmar.
Shortly after hostilties began in the
present war Van BOSbOom was told
that his two sons had been killed in
one Of the early engagements. He at
once went TO his friend the president
and demanded to be appointed to the
rank he had held in 1880 and subse-
quently.
"Have you still your famous rifle
with which you did such great shoot
ing against the Matabele" asked the
president.
YES" replied Van Bosboom.
Then you will need cartridges" said
the president, land those you shall
have"
mo, president" answered Van Bos-
boom. Il have plenty of cartridges l
have made some for myself" Then,
drawing close to Kruger, he whispered
something in his ear. 1t must have
been astonishing, for Dom Paul let
his pipe drop from his mouth, and all
the world knows how Kruger clfngs to
his pipe.
AS he babe the president goodby the
famous marksman said, with chuc-
kle, "As it's that they come after, it's
just as well to let them have it,"
Then he went off to the front, with
his rifle, his Bible and the regulation
so days provisions. He would eau
tiously approach the advancing Eng
liSh until he found convenient cover
within rife range; then, stretching him
self at full length, he would study the
enemy's force until he marked young
man whose appearance and bearing
showed him to be an officer. Upon this
figure the deadly rifle was brought to
bear. Then, as the sharp crack rang
out and the young officer fell dead, the |
burgher would leap to his feet. shout !
chamberlain" and then drop fiat /
again. Once more this programme |
would be carefully carried out and |
when the second victim fell Van BOs-
boom would carefully retire to safe /
cover, read psalm and sit smoking
his pipe until the close of the day.
In memory of his two sons the rifle
was fired only twice in each fight. but
always with fatal effect. When the
dead were collected, ii was always easy
to Identify Van BOsbOOm's victims. for,

Of the usual two ounces of lead which
form the Martini bullet, was to be

A judge In Tenrs.

The unusual spectacle of a judge In
tears was witnessed at Cardiff when
Mr.. Justice Bucknill pronounced the
capital sentence for the first time in
his judicial career. The sentence was
on q woman. and the judge, whose
voice was very shaky from the first
words of the sentence. entirely broke
down at the end and burst into tears.
The scene. especially after the pathetic
appeal Of the prisoner for mercy sor
the sake of her children. was almost
without parallel in the annals Of trials.

to use little ubterfuges to hide their
emotion. Tit Pits.

United States and cared for by an Amer
ican citizen. Our flag still floats over
our dead, but when the treaty with
Mexico was signed, American author
ity withdrew to the Rio Grande, and
venture the opinion that during the
last 80 years the people Of Mexico
have made more progress under the
stimulus Of independence and self-gov'
ernment than they would have made
under carpetbag government held in
place by bayonets. The United States
and Mexico, friendly republics, are
each stronger and happier than they
would have been had the former been
cursed and the latter crushed by an
imperialistic policy, disguised as "be-
nevolent assimilation"
As to purchasing trade by violence, "
Mr.. Bryan quoted Ben Franklin and
said:
place the philosophy of Franklin
against the sordid doctrine of those who
would put price upon the head OF an
American solder and justify a war Of
conquest upon the ground that it will
pay. The Democratic party is in favor
OF the expansion Of trade. 1t would ex-
tend our trade by every legitimate and
peaceful means; but it is not. willing to
make merchandise OF human blood
1t is not necessary TO own people in
order to trade with them. We carry
on trade today with every part of the
world, and our commerce has expanded
more rapidly than the commerce Of any
European empire. We do not own Japan
or China, but we trade with their peo'
pie. We have not absorbed the repub.

we trade with them. 1t has not been
necessary to have any political connec-
tions with Canada or the nations of Eu.

Such a system would never be defended

borne by all the.people, while the profits
are enjoyed by the few.
Imperialism would be profitable to the

TO the shipowners who would carry live
