form of an entirely new police, to
serve in the rural districts, and will
be composed, of 10000 men, distrib-

strict surveillance of all strangers
and, still more, of suspected persons
appearing in their districts.

liquor had been sold to minors but
in some cases the youths had lied in

sage was very intense one-a love

"Do not move so timidly! Stand
farther to the right! Play with

The unfortunate actor, thorough
-ly ,i7cvniiiteu, went from PAD TO
worse in his impersonation and now
was singing almost continually out
of tune. The exasperated composer
could stand it no longer. He stop
ped the orchestra and beckoned the
singer down to the fooHights.

ing the passage effective seem to
have failed" he remarked sarcas-

If you want a good coat of tan
carry an umbrella on hot, sunny
days. OF course the umbrella keeps
the sun from beating down directly
overhead, and il is an apparent pro-
lection for this reason. But on
streets where there is asphalt pave
ment or concrete sidewalk the rays
of the sun are refracted with almost
vertical intensity. They are prac-
tically collected under the dome Of
the umbrella, and sunburn is the re-
suit.

sunburned under an umbrella on
the water than he will if entirely
unprotected from the suns rays

The Depletion of Our Forests.

In letter to the Montpelier Jour
nal, II. G. Thomas, commissioner
OF fisheries and game, writes as fol-
lows in regard to the depletion Of
our forests:
"Vermont is altogether too slow
in taking up matters of such vital
Importance to her wealth and pros
perity. Her springs and streams are
growing smaller and smaller from
year to year, and many have entirely
died up. l think if the state press
entire would continually present the
above facts something beneficial
would be accomplished. Many states
are doing what Vermont ought to
have been doing years ago. Save
our forests, else in few years Yer
mont will not be called the Green
Mountain state. With proper and
judicious protection Vermont is a
beautiful and natural park depleted
of her forests, with dry river beds,
Vermont is nothing"
MIR. Thomas doubtless exagger.
ates the danger of forest depletion {;
the Green Mountains are never likely
to be entirely shorn of trees, but the
subject of the preservation of the
woods is quite as important as he
suggests.
In another column will be found
the first of several articles written
by Mr.. George L. Myers of Wash
ington. d. c., an expert in forestry,
which will be of much inter-
est and value, and MANY of the sug-
gestions therein will doubtless some
day be applied to forest preservation
and cultivation in this state. In SCI
entitic forestry the woods are treated
as "A cultivated crop, not looked upon
as so much cord wood or as min
ing claim, to be worked awhile and
then abandoned. This is something
that our farmers and other land own
ers must realize before many years
in order to save their wooded pos
sessions and to make them of more
value.

licves that Lieutenant Governor Zed

cession for the governorship, and
his comments on the situation were

CONDENSED STORIES.
Where She Got the Crest That Was

Here's a good story told about
Lady Colebrooke, that prominent
Englishwoman who visited the
Whitneys last winter, Lady Cole
brooke is of the we'll known Paget
family. Lord Colebrooko's mces-
tors are equally aristocratic, and the
Colebrooke crest is a rampant lion,
three doves over the head and a
wolf cMchant above all. 1t is an
elaborate affair. When Lady Cole
brooke was dining out with one Of
the opulent hostesses of Long Island
she glanced casually at the dinner
service, every bit of which was duly
embossed with a crest. She was ac-
customed to heraldic china and did
not at once inspect the design. mi
nutely. Later in the evening, to
her great surprise, she became aware
that the Colebrookc crest was upon
all Of her hostess dinner service.
"Whcrc did YOU get this crest ~ she
exclaimed impulsively. The hostess
replied unconcerncdly: Isn't it a
pretty ore? picked it out when
we furnished this house, 1t was the

little doves, | think, are so full of
