their arrest by Officers Anderson and

a large and husky mortal, playfully
took a smite at his companion, the small
cop, and proceeded to make a get away.
Barrett cast his club and a request to
return after Mr.. Lawson, who needed
not, but gamboled joyously onward.

necessary to climb up the person of
Mr.. Lawson to commit the assault, ow-

bad man, and was shot in the leg as
such by Officer Carl Golf some years
ago, came along with Anderson like a
nice man. He was let off with a fine

If the anti-slot machine ordinance is
any good, why doesn't the council back
the police in its enforcement? If 1t is
worthless, take it off the books and try
a new one. It seems that the city hasn't
the backbone to even test the ordinance.
They could easily order the chief to
seize one machine. destroy it according
to law, and make a test. They can't
expect Tim Donovan, who works for a
small salary. to experiment on his own
hook and possibly pay a large bill for
damages

OUR TIMBER SUPPLY.

To people who live i'm a timber
country and become 50 accustomed
to the endless forest that they little
think of possible scarity of timber
supply, the following computations
made by Jas. Oswell, of Madison,
Wis, will scarce be credited, but
present set of figures susceptible
of proof:
"Over 4OooOo0,O0O feet of pine lum-
Der is used annually for matches
equivalent of the product of 100000
acres of virgin forest. On Ameri.
can railroads. 62OOOOOOO cross ties
are laid and 100000 new ties for
renewals are required annually.
The amount of timber used every
year for ties is equal to 3OO0OOO,O0O
feet of lumber. In this country
there are now standing nearly T.
10000 telegraph poles. The aver
age life of pole is ten years, so
that aoout 10000 are required
every year for renewals. These fig

WANTS MORE BIRTHS.
French Parliamentary COmminsiou
t. Devise Means to Increase
the Population.

Anxiety over the depopulation Of
France resulted in an interesting de-
bate in the French senate the other
day when Waldeck- Rousseau, the pre-
lnier. accepted, in the name of the gov
eminent, a proposal for the nomina-
ton of an extra parliamentary COM
mission to seek means of increasing
the birth rate and diminishing NOR
tally. The proposal was counter
signed by 1873 senator's. Senator Ber-
nard, in proposing the inquiry, COM
pared the Peopling of France with that
of other nations throughout the nine
teenth century. At the beginning of
that century France had 10000, 900 in
habitants, Germany 100000 inhab-
itants and England 100000 inhabit-
ants. Now France has $4,000, 900 inhab-
itants, Germany 100000 inhabitants
and England 41,000,0OO.
He combated the theory that in pop
ulation quality is better than quantity.
His remedies were the adoption of fis-
cal measures in favor of large fam
lilies, and, above all, of legislation to
check the terrible mortality among in
fants. In the latter regard another
speaker declared that it was we'll
known that the baby farming system
in France resulted in the death of
about 80 per cent. of the infants so
reared.

.ures do not include telephone poles
or railway telegraph poles. The
amount of timber consumed apnu-
ally for poles and ties is equivalent
to the timber grown on 100000 acres
of virgin forest.
"For making shoe pegs every
year the amount of timber used is
equal to the second growth on $500
acres of hardwood land. Lasts and
good trees ~require about 10000
cords OF wood. Although the max.
ing OF paper from wood pulp is a
comparatively new process, the an
nual consumption of wood for this
purpose is equal to over 8OO.OOO,OOO
board feet of timber, for which it
would be necessary, were the trees
all growing together, to cut about
oOOO acres of forests. We are now
using in America. for the lumber
and paper trade about 4O,OOOyOOO,OOO
feet of lumber a year, which is
equivalent to about 100000 acres
of virgin forest-an area equal to
Rhode Island and Connecticut.
These figures do not include the
wood used for fuel, which is four
and one-half as much"

GETS HIS REVENGE.
Tilted Lover Mails Limburger to
Post Office Where Girl Works.
Smell Drives Her Out and Post once
Inspector Runs the Plot to Earth
to the Chagrin and Woe Of
the COnspiratOr.

1.-THE romance of general delivery
window, or the revenge of a Tilted
mail carrier" is the title under which
a case recently under investigation. by
post Office inspectors has become
known throughout the department.
A letter carrier in an Ohio post office
was engaged to young woman
whose aspirations ran in the direction
of a government Office. The letter
carrier had an aged mother to sup
port and it was his intention to save
Il sufficient sum of money to enable
him to marry and keep those depend
ent upon him in comfort as we'll.
Yielding to the persuasions of his
lady love he went to the postmaster
and recommended the young woman
for q clerkship. In due course OF
time the girl was appointed to place
at the general delivery window. She
was not in the place very long before
she conceived an exaggerated idea of
her own Importance, and after q
month or so she gave the mitten
to the carrier. He took his dismissal
with very bad grace and wanted to
get even. A month elapsed. One day
the girl appeared in the office of the
postmaster.
81 can't work in that Office" she
said, tearfully. cts dreadful. There
is such terrific-er-smell some
WHERE
The postmaster impressed by the
manner of the fair clerk, accom-
panied her to the little boxlike gen.
eral delivery Office.
"W-h-e-w," he said, with a long
drawn breath. "How long has this
been around here?"
"It's been getting worse for the
last week." responded the clerk. II
didn't want to say anything about it
at first. but I'll have to 60 home if it
isn't taken away"
''Something must be dead under the
floor" said the postmaster, after due
deliberation, and he ordered the
boards removed and the space be-
meath searched. While the laborers
were removing the case of pigeon
holes which contained the mail it was
knocked over and the contents scat
tered all over the floor.
"What are all these funny-looking
little boxes?" asked the postmaster
who was directing the work.
When the boxes were examined
they were found to be 26 in number
and addressed to fictitious names
and each containing little square Of
limburger cheese. Inspectors ran to
earth az the sender of the boxes the
letter carrier who had been Tilted by
the general delivery girl. He frankly
confessed to the intention of making
his one-time fiancee desert her post
and lose favor with the chief, be-
sides subtecting her to worry and an
noYance.
