The same-over production applies to

Mans Will Was TattOOed.

Perhaps it was not parsimony, as
his relatives alleged that led a Mexi.
can mser, who recently died, to tat
too his last will and testiment upon
his body. They alleged that the de-
cedent, named Moreche, in order to
save the cost of pen, ink and paper,
imprinted his will indelibly upon his
body with some red pigment. When
the old miser died his heirs protested
against the burial of the body and
petitioned the court to have the re-
markable "human document" ad-
mitted to probate. 1t was a knotty
problem, but the court decided that
acopy shouldbe made of the tattooed
will, and that the copy should have
the full effect of an original will. AZ
ter the copy had been made the old
miser was buried by his legatees, the
original will being "filed for refer
ence."

heard OF was the Teller who wrote up
the flood. He has been here ever since.
"Some editors belong to church and
some try to raise whiskers. All of
them raise hell in their neighborhood,
and all of them are liars; at least all

never die. At least never saw dead
one. Sometimes the paper dies and
then people feel bad, but some one

got licked. Our paper is a mighty
poor one, but we take it so ma can

News Notes,

The government of Nicaragua has
given notice of the termination of the
treaty of 1867, granting the United
States authority to build a canal
across that country, and also of the
extradition treaty of 1870. This is
said to be simply a movement pre-
liminary to the negotiation of new
treaties.
1t is said that Richard Croker, the
New York Tammany boss, has
bought outright Moat House, the
residence on Vantage in the county
of Berks, which he occupies when in

that of October 1900, when the ag-
gregate was $7.1O7,0OO, against
$12, 046 $50 in 1899. The loss for
the ten months ending with October
were 1885,, 404 $50 in 1901, $143,,

PRESERVE THE FORESTS.
Great Regions That Have Lost Their Trees
and Fertility.

A CRYING need of the time is the call
ing of public attention to the past
and current wanton destruction of
our forests, and to the specific results
which such destruction must, if not
checked in season, entail upon the
country. Such results are no mere
matter of theoretical forecast and
logical inference. What deforestation
has donein the far East is a practical
demonstration of what it will nee
essarily lead to here. Vast regions in
China, Persia and Transcaspia, which
were once fertile and teeming with
native vegetation, are now arid and
uninhabitabl wastes, owing to the
disappearance of the forests. The
bearing of the question on irrigation
is, or should be PATENT to all Forests
are the source of all irrigation, and
a treeless country is waterless coun-
try. Ii the reckless denudation of our
tree bearing areas is suffered to con-
tinue, incalculable loss to the nation
will ensue, and main source OF the
wealth producing power of the coun-
try will vanish.
That the American public is at last
awakening to the profound impor-
tance of the forestry question there
are hopeful signs. A main agent in
the movement for intelligent and or
ganizad action for tie preservation
of our yet magnificent timber lands
is the American Forestry Association,
which held it's summer meeting in
Denver recently. This session seems
to have been a distinctly Western one,
the discussions turning mainly upon
the forest problems now most promi,
nently before the Western states
These discussions will form the burden
of the organ of the association, The
Forester, in it's October issue. This
attractive little monthly is always
we'll freighted with interesting matter
appropriately illustrated, and de
serves the support and earnest con
sideration of the American public

The campaigns and battles of the
Civil War we're on scale of surpass-
ing magnitude. There were more than
a score of single battles, sometimes
extending over several days, in each
of which the losses in killed and
wounded on the Federal side were
greater than the aggregate of all our
losses in all our other wars combined.
How paltry seem the {, 900 killed and
wounded in the War of 1912, or the
war in Mexico, or the war with Spain,
compared with the IA 900 at Shiloh,
$1,000 at Chicahominy, 10000 at
Antietam, the same at Fredericks-
burg, 16,000at Charlottesville, 23,-
600 at Gettysburg, 10000 at Chica-
manga, 81 600 in the Wilderness and
10000 at Spottsylvania. The grand
aggregate of destruction fairly stag
gers the imagination, accustomed
IS we have been for more than gen.
eratfon to the figures: 93 600 killed
by bullets, 1856 600 killed by disease,
$4,000 dead from other causes-a
grand total Of 304 900 about one in
nine of every man who wore the uni
Fform.
Ia no other war in all time has such
respect been paid to the dead. In
mediately after it's close the S, cretary
OF War was directed by Congress Ito
secure suitable burial places, and to
have these grounds enclosed, so that
the resting places ofthe honOred dead
may be kept sacred forever" Ia
seventy-nine separate and distinct
national cemeteries the bodies OF
nearly 100000 soldiers who died dur
ing the Civil War are inferred, and
the decoration of their graves with
flowers on a fixed day has become a
national custom. Some of the GENE
teries contain each a silent army oil
more than 10000 soldiers, in serried
ranks marked by the white head,
stones, on nearly half of which is in-
scribed unknown" The world may
be searched in vain for anything
similar or kindred; there is no other
such impressive sight.
