Philippine Forest Preserves.

Upon the recommendation of the war
department the agricultural depart
ment is preparing an order setting
apart as forest reserves the island of
Romblon, which is north Of the island
of Panay; also the island of Pauitani,
which is one of the extreme group of
the Jolo islands of the Philippine
group. Officers of the army who have
been investigating the islands have
found that these are the richest lands
in the world for rubber trees, and it is
the intention of the Washington au-

ton. Mrs. Hudgens, tasting The pie her

iiuG9ens suddenly smote the table with

the matter. There isn't any brandy

Not as much as usual." owned Mrs.
liudgens. "There wasn't much left

sure that isn't what is the matter with

would improve it if il was left out al
together Anyway. there's enough in
it now"
AS a general thing when Mrs Hud-
gems spoke in that decided tone of voice
no one ventured to dispute her, but on
this occasion Mr.. Hudgens felt it his
duty to protest. He said that except
as fiavoring extract for mincemeat
he had no sort of use for liquor him
self but in that connection it was in
dispensable. Buckingham said that
Mrs. Hudgens' recipe was so absolutely
perfect that the least departure from
its letter, and particularly it's spirit,
was fatal. Even Ethelinda Joined the
opposition. Mrs. l1udgens. however.
was immovable. She declared that UNI
less they could find something else the
matter with the mincemeat it should
fill the pies as it was. from henceforth
until it was exhausted, and she kept
her word
This year when the making of mincc-
meat began Mrs Hudgens was imp,ored
not to forget the brandy, but she would
give no definite assurance that she
would not. She frightened her lips in
what the family declared to be an ON
nous way. There was a great deal of
anxiety on the subject.
"She still thinks that there was
something else missing last year. y

his father as they retired to the pantry
to consult. You see she will make
cocksure of everything else. but she'll
leave out that one thing altogether."

Hudgens.
Clinton merely shook his head, and
as there seemed nothing furthe 10 do
the men moved to the porch.
If buckingham surmise concerning
the housewives intentions was correct
she repented of it suddenly, for she
was no sooner alone than she went to
the medicine closet and brought out a
bottle of brandy. with which she lib
orally dosed her mixture. Then she
stirred it we'll and left the room to at
tend to something else. In a few mo-
ments lludgens came in with a bulge
under his coat, looked cautiously about
him and then called to his wife. who
replied from the top of the staircase
that she would be down in minute or

"a minute or two is good" grinned
Hudgens, and, drawing a bottle from
under his coat. he poured about half OF

it up and sneaked away

with singular success. is the attraction
at the Lyceum theatre.
The company numbers over fifty peo-
pie and includes among the principals
that most charming and delightful
woman and actress, Efiie Ellsler. This
fact in itself is source of gratifica-
tion to those who enjoy purely legiti-
mate effort--and where among the stars
is there a woman with marked ability
that has worked harder than Miss Els
Ter? There are many reasons why Miss
Ellsler should make an ideal Glory
Quayle.
OF course there is always a local SEN
timent behind Effie Ellsler here, but
stripping the situation of all its senti-
mental phases, Miss Elsler is strong
as player and stands very high IN
the estimation of people in general
Her success, her standing in the affec-
tions of hundreds of thousands, are
vivid illustrations of the fact that
cheap, tawdy advertising pays only for
a day and cannot compare with the re-

ent, bring to an actress. James NJ
