Payton moved in good society, but he had
acquired an intense dislike for the girls with
whom he came in contact and whose god was
Mammon, not Cupid. The little typewriter
across the light shaft was of far greater in
terest to him, and her apparent inaccessible
ity made him the more eager to form her ac-
quaintance. Once he met Massey in COM
pany with a business friend and exultingly
told himself that this would at least afford
him an entrance to the office. But even this
hope was dashed to the ground when in say
ing goodby Massey expressed desire to meet
him on returning from a business trip that
would occupy several months.
He had about given up all hope when one
afternoon the young clerk who formed his en-
tire office staff broke in on his solitude,

!. FOREST ADMINISTRATION

Friends of forestry, whether practical
or sentimental, will approve the report
of the house of representatives commit
tee on public lands, favoring the transfer
of the forest reserve bureau from the de-
partment of the interior to that of agri-
culture. The. latter department has a
forestry bureau which has devoted itself
to practical study of the forestry ques-
ton, but has no direct authority over the
administration of the public forest re-
serves, which has been naturally retained
by the department Of the interior as the
department in charge of the public lands.
But 1t is. obvious that there should be a
concentration of the theoretical and prac-
teal work in the same department, though
the two bureaus in the two different de-
partments have managed to work to-
gether with remarkably little friction.
But it is simply good business organiza-
ton to have one centralized forest adj
ministratien. The. national forests must
not be treated merely as reserves of ma
tive. timber; they must be protected,
cared for and administered on forestry
principles. There is no reason why they
should not be made to yield the govern
ment a considerable revenue while being
preserved intact as forest areas. Under
the new arrangement Clifford Pinchot of
the bureau of forestry of the agricultural
department, will be the national superin-
tendent of forests, and the Office with it's
100000 acres of forests to manage and
superintend, in addition to it's general
instructive and promotive work, will be-
come one of the most important in the
civil service.
While the administration of the forests
is thus being reorganized we can see no
objection to the passage of the bill max
ing all the national forests game pre-
serves, in much the same way that yell
lowstone park now is such a. preserve.
The. force Of rangers and foresters that
is required to care for the forest reserves
could incidentally look after poachers
Thus the great forests would be regions
in which animals as well as trees would
be preserved. With such inviolate breed
ing grounds and places of refuge from the
hunter the supply of game could be kept
up indefinitely in those sections in which
the preserves are located.
AS the Morris bill provides for forest
reservation in Minnesota, both OF these
proposed changes in forest administration
will be OF direct interest to Minnesotans

The Salvation Army Trouble
March 13.--As a sequel to the warning issued
by Commander Booth Tucker of the Saliva
ton Army against the speculative schemes of
the Albert E. Hall company, in which several
Of his former officers are implicated, one of
them, W. Wallace Winchell has made sensa-
tional charges regarding the management of
the army He accuses the leading officers of
misappropriating funds extravaganza and
lack Of business ability and alleges that he
left the service because he was induced to sell
medicine composed so largely of alcohol
that he feared to make drunkards Of our
people" These charges were detailed at great
length in letter sent by Winchell to Gen
eral William Booth In England a week ago.
In reply to the accusation Commander
Booth Tucker has taken up the specifications
one by one, to deny and explain them, with
the assertion that Winchell has attempted to
blac>imail the Salvation Army, and only yes
terday came into headquarters office with the
proposition as stated
.'IEe offered to withdraw all his complaints
and claims for the sum of SIS and threatened
if this demand was not settled, to make seri-
Gus charges against the army to the news
papers of New York." said Commander Booth
Tucker.
The allegations which were submitted to
General Booth embrace wholesale designations
because money getting instead of soul saw
ing taxed the strength of the officers; mis-
appropriation Of money raised in the name Of
the poor, furnishing fine houses and making
the movement one Of ''staf princes and field
paupers and handcapping of slum work by
devoting efforts to soliciting money.
Winchell charges that he refused to remain
in the army because asked to sell a patent
medicine, the main strength OF which was
found to be alcohol, he deciding that straight
forward business was more honorable. The
administration is characterized weak and
vacillating since 1896, and he declares the
,permancy of the movement is in question.

the yells of street arabs on the wharf. When
we awoke the next morning we were going
through the Suez canal, dug by the poor Due

case Of sciatic rheumatism, by standing in
water up to his knees, that afterwards ended
his life. It certainly is a remarkable engi-

Lucille wondered much why they pro-

that was the French Of it. Mary H. then took
