The Texas rangers, those mounted police
Who preserve order far out beyond the
bounds Of ordinary civilization have all
sorts Gf>sxperiences. One of these, comes
hack from the other side of the water~in
the pages Of the Sunday Magazine. A
ranger had ridden hard all day on the
track of cattle thieves. At sunset, weary
with his ride, he -urned his nurse toward
some curling smoke, the only sign of lie
in the wide expanse. '.Hello!'. he shouted,
riding presently up to the door of an IN
inviting dugout. Hello yourself!" cames
back in grufT voice.
Where can l get lodging for the
| night?' asked the stranger.
Forty miles ahead of ye," was the curt
reply.
Tired, hungry, and not we'll pleased at
the prospect of forty-nnie ride across
the prairie, the ranger frightened his rein
and turned his horse away from the
dugout. But the gruff voice followed
him.
| ':Ia!se your critter down thar in the
hollow and tethe1 him. and come in here"
it said -
The ranger did as he was told, and re-
turned to the dugout. 1t was sort of
armed neutrality that prevailed there. He
himself was well equipped with revolvers
| Two long bowie knives dangled from the
belt of his host, and a. gun stood, ready
to his hand. They eyed each other with
mutual distrust
What are you after way out here in
this part O. the prairie?" questioned the
host. o. 49, : -=@7es---
1t occurred to the ranger that this
| might be one of the very men he was In
search Of, and the cleaning eye told that
| he was not man to be triied with. SO
! he parted the question, explaining that
he had some business among the cowboys,
| and to give his companion more conf
de9ce he unstrapped his revolver belt and
| laid 1t aside. Then another rough looking:
| fellow, loaGed with knives and revolvers,
entered the dugout, and with the words,
'Scn, this here stranger happened by just
| fore night, and I gave him welcone,'
was introduced to the stranger.
Father and son proceeded to prepare
supper, all the time watching the
stranger. who in turn kept his hand on a
knife hidden beneath his coat. Supper

He took a tiny Bible from a mustard

The ranger felt that the influence Of a

War not only influences the mortality Of the
army in the fell, but has malehcientt effect
on the birth rate and death rate of the couil-
try which is fighting. A low birth rate may
be explained to some extent, by the fact that
when a nation is at war her people at home
are less prospe. ous and consequently marriages
are not frequent.
The increase of the death rate occurs, prob
ally for the reason that food is scarcer AMI
also because at a time when country is en-
gagged in a disastrous war the minds of its
inhabitants are adversely affected Those who

| families out of the slums of the Ghetto
 and has established them as sel-re-
 speeting and self-supporting farmers in 1 Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa North and South Da- kota, Florida and Oklahoma, The agents of the society have already been careful to select only such families as were in the greatest need, and who at the same time were able bodied and willing to do hard work. There has
 been no attempt to make farmers out of people who did not look on that kind of life favorably, and, consequently, there have been comparatively few failures among those selected.
 Any one who has eyes and who will study the photographs of it's farmers in
 the possession of the society will be
 willing to admit that the work it is do-
 ing is both necessary and profitable.
 The contrast between little boy of the
 Ghetto, brought up in the streets and
 entirely ignorant of fresh air and green grass, and the same boy, few years
 later mounted on the back of mus
 tang or Indian pony, with a great field of corn in the background, and behind that still the wood d-croWned bluffs, is too strong to need any comment It is not claimed by anybody that the work of this society will do away with need of further work by other agencies. There are many needy and deserving families in the Ghetto and elsewhere to which farm life does not appeal. It is not likely that such families could ac- complish much for themselves outside of the city, to the life of which they are accustomed But the society which de- votes itself to the establishment of far mers does not interfere with the work of any other organization, and so far as it goes it seems to set an example worthy of wide emulation.
 Those who have studied conditions in the Ghetto most closely and who have also investigated the present condition of the Jewish farmers who have been sent out from it declare that in the work of the Jewish Agriculturists Aid society lies the best and largest hope of improvement. Already more than thousand possible criminals and paul. pers have been transformed into men who are proud to earn an honest and buying the most complete and elaborate give to every family which desires it the opportunity of beginning life under better conditions the society has issued ten thousand loan certificates in the de- nomination of ten dollars each on which it promises to pay three per cent. per annum With one hundred thou sand dollars in hand the society will be able to start more than one hundred families as farmers, and it believes that it will be able also to pay both

Very little curly maple is used these days, and birdseye maple is compara- lively cheap for q handsome wood. It sells in the rough for ten cents a foot and yeneers cheaper than most of the others. Walnut has gone out of style, too, and has given way to maple, white and quartered oak, ash, cherry and birch.
 Chinese teak wood is another that is expensive, and also very defective. still it is used extensively, The keels of the battleships Indiana and Massa- chusetts are made of it, and l happen to know that it cost the government a pretty penny. The British admirality use great quantity of this wood for the decks of British war ships, and it is used commonly on the swell yachts for ralings and hatch combings, as it stands the weather excellently.
