ON ACCOUNT OF SMALLPOX.

Circuit court was TO have set this

smallpox at Mt. Pleasant and the
fact that a large number OF witnesses
were TO come from along the border
OF Midland and Isabella, on consulta.

best TO adjourn court for two weeks, or
until March 4.

the bonds which bound her TO Chas.

PENDANT failed TO show up and WAS
prohibited by the court from marry

PRESERVING THE BIG TREES.
Efforts To Prevent the Destruction Of
the California Forest
Giants.

The women's clubs of this state are
persevering In their efforts TO save the
Calaveras grove as a legacy TO pos
terity. Mrs. Emma Shafter Howard
has opened correspondence on the
subject with many influential men in
Washington. Senator Hoar, Of Massa-
chusetts, suggests in a letter written
on the subject that California ought
TO have intelligence and public spirit
enough 10 ave her wonderful trees,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. The
suggestion IL pertinent, but the ma
ton as well rs the state has an inter
est in their preservation. The sena-
tor adds that his state would not ask
any help of the federal government II
she had them, which is probably true;
but Massachusetts, has a larger perma-
nent population and greater wealth
than California, while the proximity
of the grove to a national park in this
state naturally suggests their union
and their subsequent care under one
patrol. Mr.. Hoar promises, however,
TO aid the senator's from tAis state
in their efforts TO secure favorable ac-
ton by congress.
Another letter OF special value on
the subject has been received from the
secretary of the American Forestry
association, in which the cooperation
Of the women's clubs of Can.ornia
with that organization in all kindred
projects 70 that of the preservation
Of Calaveras grove is cordially invit-
ed. In this letter there is a friendly
intimation that heroics should sup
plant Mysteries in the work of saving
the forests of the country from de-
struction, and the hint will probably
not be thrown away.

we could measure its diameter on two

roughly, five feet a week. or n mile in

Why Newsdealers Sometimes Slip Rubber
Bands Around Their Magazines.
The man who gets up early in the
morning SO he can have look at his
neighbours paper before the rightful
owner has chance TO take it in from
his doorstep does not stand very high in
the estimation of the newsdealer. This
is because he spoils trade.
There is another man, however, who
is even more cordially detested by the
vender of periodicals He is the fellow
who never buys anything, but has the
habit of dipping into the weekly papers
and magazines The keeper of a news
stand makes a tempting display of his
stock, for he knows that strong pic
ture or even pretty cover often brings
him stray customer, but he expects
the mere locker ON to be content with
this much, and he is likely to frown
upon the man who resorts TO all kinds
of schemes in order to get peep at the
inside pages.
The stands IN the ferry houses and
railway stations suffer the most from
these penurious cranks, fors there IS
nothing else to attract their attention
while they are waiting for boat or a
train. They run through the leaves OF
the latest. books and magazines and
have been known to draw the tacks out
of papers nailed up against the stand so
that they could see what was on the
other side of the sheet. But it is not
what they see and read for nothing that
worries the newsdealer. He would be
willing to put up with that if they did
not injure his stock. Indeed, he would
much rather have man take up a mag
azine bodily and carefully examine ev-
cry page than to have him grab it by
one corner and bend MP all the leaves
in a surreptitious attempt to see the
pictures He would also rather have
you ask him TO hand you periodical
than to have you shove his stock all ont
of line while trying To see the half of
the page that is hidden by a pile of 9TH
er papers.
So great is this nuisance that the
newsdealers had 10 adopt schemes for
their own protection. The most success
full, so far as preventing the leaves from
being turned, consists of placing a rub
Der band around the top and bottom of
"a magazine and using it on the top of
each pile New York World. &.
