Old Gorgon Graham's Business.
Philosophy.

Baron Munchaseen was the first travel
ing man, and my drummers' expense ac-
counts still show his influence.
Adam invented all the different ways
in which young man can make fool
of himself, and the college veil at the end
of them is Just a fFill that doesn't change
essentials.
It's the fellow who thinks and acts for
himself, and sells short when prices hit
the high G and the house is standing on
its hind legs yelling for more, that sits
in the director meetings when he gets
on toward forty.
Pay day is always month off for the
speRdthrift, and he is never able to orealize
more than sixty cents on any dollar that
comes to him. But dollar is worth one
hundred and six cents to good business
man, and he never spends the dollar.
Ifyou gave some fellows a talent wrap
ped in napkin to start with in business,
they would swap the talent for gold
brick and lose the napkin; and there are
others that you could start out with just
napkin who would set up with it in the
dry-goods business in small way and
then coax the other fellows talent into
it.
I always layit down as safe PROPOSE
ton that the fellow who has to break
open the baby's bank for car-fare to-
ward the last Of the week isn't going to
be any Russell Sage when it comes to
trading with the old mans money.

chant to his son, now appearing in The

Why The Heat and Drought,

New York World: Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson thinks he has
found out why this summer has been
so full Of sabasco and trouble.
He believes that the ruthless strip.
ping Of our forests is steadily IN.
creasiug the area of arid lands IN
the West and proYoking long peri.
DDS of drought over large sections
Of the country, like the spell vhich
has for weeks past menaced the corn
crop Of so many States.
Mr.. Wilson is not alone IN this
opinion. Scientific men who have.
made weather conditions study
have been telling us for many years
that if we kept on chopping down
our trees faster than we grew new
ones to take their places we should
eventually change our climate for
the worse.
Forests are not only beautiful but
useful. They do promote rainfall,
or else all the expert authorities on
the economy ofnature are mistaken.
We have been cutting down and con-
suming or exporting them at the
rate of eighteen billions of cubic
feet of lumber every year. And as
surely as this rate Of chopp,ng is
kept up, unbalanced by systematic
planting on reservations on a velv
large scale, our forests are doomed
to disappear wlthin the next fifty
years.
Experts sent out by the Agrical
tural Department are now an the
West making AN investigation Of
forest conditions in the rainless sec
tions where the crops are dying of
thirst. In order to give the farmers
a chance to gather grain, and city
people chance to live IN simmer,
Congress may yet have to say
"Stopl to the commercial destroy
ers of our forests, who are turn
ing them into merchandise al the
rate Of over a billion dollars year.

Our farm is situated between

The river is I miles from where We
live and there is no timber between
us and the river, SO we can plainly
see the large steam boats as they
sail down the river.
The old settlers say about thirty
years ago you could scarcely look
toward the river without seeing a
boat, but 1t is not so now. There is
not more than three or four 3 week.
There is o Legend connected with
the Lakes. II runs as follows:
10 very early day a beautiful
young Indian girl fell desperately
in love with a young American
farmer, but It was not "ditto' with
the young fellow, or probably he
never knew Of the great love the
squaw had for him, for one bright

Us young folks fud it quite anus

There are many pretty fowers

the Colorado and Pacific. There
are two passenger trains daily on
the Colorado line, and three on the
Pacific. There IS also, an excursion
train on the Pacific road every Sun

two miles from US. There is pic
mic at the Park almost every day and
the majority Of the people are from
the City. They come out to take
fresh air. We also live two milos
from an Electric Street Car line. At
the end of the Street Car line is a
large tower called Midland Station.
There is 200 steps leading up Ia the
tower and although it is not very
pleasant to climb the steps, once up
there you have gradd view of the
surrounding country for several
miles. The Tower is built upon q

Is Lower Lake, also a beautiful
