fl WISE WOMAN.

The wisest man was Solomon, and one of the proofs of his wisdom is his famous decision in baby case that was brought before him. The Bible says that Solomon was told in. a dream that nobody like unto him should arise after him, and so it cannot be asserted that any woman can be as wise as Solo, mon was. But if the truth is told about a Kansas woman there Is a wo- man in that State whom Solomon might prohtably have invited to sit on the bench with him had she lived in his day. The woman desired the arrest of the rurnseller who had been selling whisky to her drunken husband. Having conducted the officer to the sa- loon she was told by him to pick out the proprietor. Seven men, all looking alike and dressed alike, were standing motionless about whiskey barrel, and she could not tell which was the one, but she stepped to the barrel and turned the spigot and the liquor began to pour out on the floor. One of the men sprang out of the circle and turn ed the spigot off. Arrest that man!" she said
 If the men of Kansas were as wise as this woman is Populism wouldn't have had the run there that it has had

WHITE PINE.

We are an extravagant people, and we are not careful enough about the gifts of the gods. According to the American Lumberman's annual review, the stock of white pine lumber in the country continues to decrease rapidly. The etock at the mills is now 2,278, ,000, 900 feet, decrease of 766, 900, 900 feet from that of last year. Going back through the previous years it appears that the present stock of white pine Is the small est since 1890, while at the same time the white pine resources of the country are over 25 per cent. less than they were at that time. This shrinkage in the for est area already means a shortage of 2,O00, 100000 feet, which must be annual ly filled by the substitution of Georgia yellow pine It has been estimated that the whole remaining area of white pine forests will be practically denuded with in five years, and by the time that hap pens the areas of southern pine will also be greatly reduced by supplying the in- creasing deficit. At present the Minne- sota pineries show the greatest activity, while those of Michigan and Wisconsin have ceased to produce in large quan- titles. In what is known as the Chicago district, including Michigan and Wis consin, the cut of 1899 showed a falling off of 345,O00,0O0 feet since 1898 and of 1 200, ,OOO, 900 feet since 1892. Even Min neapolis already feels a shortage
 This country will soon be badly in need of forests and foresters.

MORE FIG HTING.

There has been some more fierce fighting in South Africa on the road to Ladysmith, and the British troops, though stubbornly opposed, seem to have made progress. But it is slow work, and the main position O. the Beers does not seem to have yet been attacked. When it is there is every in dcation that there will be very bloody battle, for the Boers have lately been reinforced and have plenty of supplies. It is said to be generally assumed in London that if General Butler finds the position too strong for him he will fight on as far as possible, while White will cut his way through from Lady smith, bringing at whatever sacrifice the remnant of his forces to Buffers camp. But of course the hope is that General Butler will succeed in going to General White at Ladysmith.

Endurance.

 How much the heart may bear, and yet How much the flesh may suffer and not die question much if any pain or ache Of soul or body brings Sour end more Death chooses his own time; till that is sworn
 All evils may be borne. Each nerve recoiling from the cruel steel Whose edge seems searching for the quiv- ering life; Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal That still, although the trembling flesh be torn,
 This also can be borne. We see a sorrow rising in our way, And try to flee from the approaching ill We seek some small escape; we weep and pray; But when the blow falls then our hearts are still; Not that the pain Is of it's sharpness shorn,
 But that 1t can be borne. We wind our life about another life; We hold 1t closer, dearer than our own, Anon 1t faints and falls In deathly strife, Leaving us stunned and stricken and alone; But, ah! we do not die with those we mourn;
 This also can be borne. Behold! we live through all things-4fam- inc, thirst, Bereavement, pain; all grief and mis- cry, All woe and sorrow: life inflcts its worst On soul and body--but we cannot die, Though we be sick and tired and faint and worn--
 To- all things can be borne. Elizabeth Akers in Chicago Standard.

this makes out the trimming pictured here to be a downright novelty. So 1t was, and a very tasteful one as, in silver fox, it was applied to a princess gown of pale gray ladies cloth. Cream brussels lace finished it at one edge. and on the skirt near the hem was a narrower band of the fur, it's lace of lessened width also Both for wraps and gowns there Is frequent resort to notifications of the Marie Antoinette f1chu. Many of them are more far fetched than was this, but few of them equal 1t for tastefulness.
 One of the new neck arrangements is recommended for ornamental value It consists of a pair of fluffed-out loops of chiffon narrowed to the grip of a cen- tral buckle. These are set under the chin at the center of narrow black velvet string tie, the little ends of the tie showing below the chiffon. It Is necessary that the loops should spread wide so that they complete the framing of the face accomplished the rest of the way by low-dipped pompadour. The girl with a very pointed and thin chin will find her face softened and improved by these looks, especially if the color chosen be becoming. In some cases instead of loops there are fringed ends, taffeta being the material, the fringe being short. With either be posi- tive that you have the right shade.

AUTOMOBILES FOR THE TRANS

A parade of fifteen, steam road loco- motives, towing forty trucks, as sup ply train to be shipped to South Africa. recently at Aldershot Eng, gives some suggestion of the extent to which that form of automobile has come to be eln- ployed in ordinary heavy highway transportation. A line of automobiles Is reported to have just been planned for Porto Rico, between Ponce and San Juan. carrying both freight and pas sengers. A system of automobile trac- ton on the Erie and other canals is an- other of the signs of progress; while the shipment of scores of motor trucks to England and to France by our own manufacturers indicates that the Uni ted States will soon lead in this depart ment of mechanical engineering, as 1t already does in that of electric railways and their machinery, contracts for which are now coming to our builders in million dollar bargains.

- roLIcr OF EXHAUSTION.

sition on Expansion and the
Philippine question, but it is not.
In that article we advocated ex-
pansion to some extent and we do
yet. We want to see the United
States control as much as possible
of the American continent and we
hope to see the day when the United
States will reach from the Arctic
Ocean to the Isthmus of Panama,
but we are opposed to any policy OF
criminal aggression or making war
merely for conquest and TO rob
any people of their country and
their freedom, because we are able
TO do it, Ike is being done now in
the Philippines.
No wonder the Mckinley admin
istration is in sympathy and alliance
with Great Britain over the war OF
greed and conquest in South Africa,
trying to conquer the liberty loving
people of those two little republics,
since this country is engaged in the
same kind of unholy war in the
Philippines. We went there to
make war on Spain and unfurled
cold Glory" in the interest Of hui
mainly and freedom and to protect
the struggling patriots of those
islands in their efforts to throw off
the tyrannical, cruel and unjust yoke
of Spain. We hoisted our flag over
them as an emblem Of freedom and
promised them liberty and a gov
eminent of their own, and they,
fully trusting in the honor of a great
Republic like this, joyfully well
coined us as their allies in the on
ward march of liberty and justice
to all men. They were willing and
anxious to have our flag there as pro
tector and warning to all designing
tyrants.
That was the condition of affairs
when we wrote in August 1898. But
what a change since then. AS
soon as we drove the Spaniards out
and completed our war with them,
we violated every promise and pre-
cept of our forefathers, who made
the Republic, and made terrible
war of slaughter and conquest on
the very people we went there to
aid. We have driven them into
the swamps and mountains and the
sea. Burned their towns and
churches, plundered them of their
property, killed the poor wretches
by the thousands, until their coun.
try is laid waste and desolate, all
because of our might and main and
thirst for bloody conquest and i'm
perialism. We wrote on the sub
ject in August, 1898. Our blood
thirsty work of Benevolent AS
similation," did not begin till Feb
ruary 1890. We never for one
moment favored or advocated any
such an unholy war against freedom
or people trying to establish
free government and we desire to
serve notice on the Grafton Senti-
mel and Parsons Advocate who
went off half-cocked after reading
the Journals claims that we were in
inconsistent in our expansion policy,
that we still stand by our expressions
on the subject, made in 1903 and
now and defy any analysis of in
consistency in our position.
