THINGS TO CHERISH.

The eyes that look with love on thee,
That brighten with thy smile,
Or mutely bid thee hope again,
II thou art sad awhile;
The eyes that, whom no words are
breathed,
Gaze fondly into thine
Oh! cherish them, ere they grow dim;
They may not always shine!
The faithful hearts around thee,
That glow with love and youth,
That time and care ne'er yet have heard,
Nor ravished Of their truth;
The hearts whose beatings we have heard
When throbbing near our own
Oh! cherish them. Those beating hushed
Earth's dearest tones are gone.
The days when there are hearts and eyes
That throb and beat for thee;
The few fleet hours when life doth seem
Bright as summer sea;
The thrilling moments when to spsal
The full hearts Joy in vain
O! cherish them. Once gone, alas!
They ne'er return again.

standing which will be Of great benefit
to the State In prosecuting land

attending the Mckinley hurrah calls
to mind the story Of the parson who
had denounced the circuses as very
sinful things, but was one OF the first
to enter the tent, accompanied by sew
eral children, when the show came to
town. One OF his flock expressed sur
prise on seeing him in such place,

A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.

The following may not be appro.
pirate to mississippi Matters" but
but all will confess who read these
columns that it l. good enough to be
inserted In any department of any
newspapers:
"After Stonewall Jackson's death
at Charlottesville, IL story became
current in the Confederate army
which the soldiers loved to repeat
over their bivouac fires, that on &C.
count OF his extreme piety, when their
famous chieftain fell, a detachment
left the heavenly gates to visit the
battlefield and escort the hero's soul
into paradise. The celestial squadron
searched the close strewn fields, but
without effect. He whom they sought
could not be found, and they retired
mourn!ully to report their want OF
success. But, 10! on their return
they found the spirit Of the immortal
warrior already there. StOnewall
Jackson had made q flank march ant
got to Heaven before them"

THE TIMBER OF MISSISSIPPI
FORMS SEVENTY PER CENT OF rHE
ENTIRE AREA.

The probable length OF time that
will be required to deplete the virgin
forests Of yellow pine 10 southern
Mississippi continues to be an inter.
csting subject Of comment among
the people and the press in that sec.
tion OF the State and a wide variety
Of views are being expressed, says the
ClariOn.Ledger.
Mississippi's pine forests sre not
confined exclusively to the southern
section, and all talk Of their deple.
tiOn sav0rs very much of remoteness
at the present time. The day Is OF
course approaching when timber will
be as scarce in Mississippi as it now
is in Minnesota, Wisconsin and other
States formerly heavy wooded, but
this day Is 80 far distant that It's dis
cussion now bears cmblance almost
to talking Of the milleneum.
Recently published figures show
that 70 per cent OF the entire State OF
Mississippi is a wooded area. Gen.
orally speaking it can be said that
the wooded area commences at the
line Of what is termed the northern
tier OF counties" and extends to the
Gulf coast. Much OF this woodland
Of course, Is oi no use as a source O
lumber, but 1t can also be said tina,
the forests OF Mississippi contain F;
much larger percentage OF timbe
available for market than any OF tn,
pine timber counties OF the North
and the genial climate. together Will
the botanic nature of yellow pine
renders these forests much more pro
life than those OF the North.
Mississippi's percentage OF timber
as compared with that OF the countr
at large, Is worthy Of casual notice
The wooded area OF the United State
forms only 81 per cent. OF tile whole
as compared with 70 per cent. in Mis-
sfssippi. Notwithstanding this per
centagc, however, this State hold
only flfth rank in the list OF Southern
States. Arkansas heads the list will
"a per cent, West Virginia has "A pei
cent, aud Georgia II per cent.
Lumbermen who have made close
study of existing conditions say that
the timber OF Mississippi is being put
into marketable shape only about two
per cent greater than the natural rate
Of growth. II this figure Is correct
there is no danger Of an immediate
depletion.

HAzEN S. PINGREE

There died in London on Tues
day as a result of over work, a
man who had made many friends
and many enemies. And para
doxical as it may seem, even his
enemies loved him and were sin
cerely sorry to learn of his death.
Mr.. Pingree had gone to Europe
ostensibly for rest. But such a
man could only rest by doing
something. He had been on the
continent looking over the var
fous forests to see what kind Of
trees would be best adapted to
replace the forests of Michigan,
which are rapidly being de-
stroyed. He had also closely
examined the various systems
of farming to gather new ideas
that might be useful at home.
Finally he went to England and
had been in conference with high
officials in reference to plan to
bring many of the Beers from
South Africa to this country
Starting in life as poor boy
he became a manufacturer Of
shoes and by judicious advertis-
ing became quite wealthy. He
was elected a reform mayor of
Detroit, and effected many i'm
provements in the municipal
government, and corrected more
abuses. Following his success
full term as Mayor he was chosen
governor of Michigan and car
ried to this Office the same high
ideals. While, at times, he
seemed sensational, his plans
properly carried out would have
resulted in vast good to the gen
eral public.
He is probably better known
to the world as the originator of
the "potato patch" plan of help
ing the poor to help themselves.
This plan was particularly useful
in the times during which it was
used, but with the coming of
prosperity, the plan has fallen
into disuse.
The death of Mr.. Pingree is a
distinct loss to the country and
especially to the State of Michi-
gan. Any man of wealth, who
uses his time and energy for the
betterment of society will be
missed when death comes.
