Our Relations to Others.

We are not Robinson Crusoes, living
each one on his own little island alone.
There are other people and they are all
about us. Their lives touch ours on
many points and their interests inter-
lace with ours. In seeking to live out
our own life to its utmost, we soon be-
come aware of limitations caused by
duties to others. In sense, the whole
world has its claim upon US; and there
is no man. woman or child anywhere
whom we are not to consider, to whom
we are not debtor. The law of love
to our neighbor leaves nobody out. The
wounded man by the wayside, whoever
he may be, we must not pass by. This
relation to others is one which must be
considered in every true life. We may
not think of self only, ignoring the
whole world and devoting all our
thought and energy to the culture Of
our own character, the making of our
own career.-FOrwaId.

''It is doubtful, I" said An Indianapolis
lawyer the other day, whether Gen.
Harrison recalls q certain case which
he tried out in Indiana that was more
remarkable in its way than the session
of the Venezuelan arbitration. OF the
four counsel only one had ever been
heard outside of his own state, and the
judge had merely a local reputation.
Yet within IL years one OF the quar-
tette had been elected vice.president OF
the United States. another one presi.
dent, still another United States sena-
tor, and the judge had risen TO the cir
cult bench and had filled two cabinet
posts. 1t was q political case, and
each party chose its most famous repre-
sentative to represent it. Mr.. Harrison
aided the United States district attor-
ney, and Senator David Turpie and
Vice-President Thomas A. Hendricks
appeared for the Democrats. The judge
was Walter @. Gresham. who had been
appointed district attorney for Indiana
less than nine years before. "-Phila-

SHEEP ON RESERVE.
REGULATIONS Under Which Grazing II
Permitted-No Oregon Stock In
Washington.

The total number of sheep to be al
lowed on the Mount Rainier forest re-
SER, during the coming season, under
the recent order of Secretary Hitch
cocs, will be 100000. This number is
pra ctically the same as in previous
yes rs. Last year $4,000 were allow.
ed on the reserve.
Cattle and horses are, also, to be al
Il wed on the reserve. the number OF
lttle being limited to $500 and OF
orses to 1000. These figures are
tased upon the number of cattle and
.orses that have been estimated as 60.
ing on the reserve heretofore.
Each man desiring the privilege OF
the range must make an application
which, when approved by the depart
ment, will entitle him to a certain
part of the reserve.
Each permit to Craze will contain a
qualifying clause, which provides that
those accepting the permit will pay
such charges, per head, for their amin
ais as the secretary of the interior may
hereinafter decide. According to pre-
vious suggestions and recommends
tions, the secretary is expected to favor
charge of 2 to cents per head for
sheep and 10 to l2h cents per head for
cattle and horses.
The permits which are to be issued
will prohibit Oregon sheep or cattle
grazing on the reserves in Washington.
There has been much complaint regard
ing the invasion of Oregon sheep and
cattle in Washington, and it is now
the purpose of the department. to pre-
vent such invasion in the future and
to reserve the grazing lands of Wash
ington for the sheep and cattle men OF
that state.
Superintendent Shelter recommended
that approximately 100000 sheep be
allowed to Craze on the reserve this
year. His actual figures were a little
less than the number allowed by the
secretary of the interior.

be duplicated there, and the country
abounds in mines of coal, silver and
