.ewoodman, Spare that TreeY'

NASHlN0TON, ID. u, Jan. q, lSuo.
To the Editor of The American:
l was pleased to see in your correspond
ence column letter from Frances ID
Dole protesting against the destruction of
the Maine forests along our sescosst.
Maine has hundreds of miles OF trees
that are of no value until cut down and
taken to market, bat no matter what the
price of lum Der, the trees along the coast
near summer resorts will be of much
more value in time II left to grow, but It
is the habit of Maine farmers to cut down
the trees that are most accessible, regard
less of their value in the future.
To show how blind some farmers are
to their own interests, / can state that
white In BROOKLYN last summer l noticed
that a man who owned beautiful grove
of trees right on the shore had cut his
years. firewood there, leaving tree-tops
and brush in a tangled mass on the
ground, There is no question but he
could get thousands OF dollars even now
for that woodiot from some summer
visitor, were the trees left standing, but
after the few cords of wood are taken off
no one would want to give more than
$500 or $500 for the land; therefore his
wood is really costing him about $50 a
cord--rather high price for firewood.
1t would be cheaper to buy coal even at
prevailing prices.
or course no one disputes a mans
right to cut down his forests, but would
il not he wise to have a little discretion
y q leave the trees along our highways
. q the shady hooks along our coast
that the trees alone make valuable?

THE AMERICAN,
Ellsworth, Me.


The Lord is strength. And they who know His
power,
To HIM for refuge flee.
In perfect peace, dear Lord Thou keepeth him
Whose mind lie stayed on Thee.
Then be thou not cast down,
But be thou faithful unto God, till death;
And win crown
We cannot hope to triumph over sin
Alone. we soon would fall;
But BE, who conquered sin, and death, and hell
II we but humhly call
On him, win quickly come,
Nor leave us ill., by His own power and might,
The victory's won.
Not what God gives, but what He Is to US
VIII make US brave and strong,
He is our strength, and they who trust in Him
Shall sing the victor's song
At last where battles cease;
And at His own right hand in heaven above
Find rest and peace.
Then fight, meier think to lay the armor down
TIL life on earth Is DER;
Then sha you enter thro' the pearly gates,
To DIV, II foievermore.
No taint of sin is there,
For peace, hope, love, joy, rest and purity
Are everywhere.

Sheldon. He replied: when | went TO

settled district, and I found, too, that
I didn't know enough TO preach two
sermons on Sunday. Moreover, |
found that the young people would
come out to hear a story, aud / didn't
want the business men to come out

BosroN. Jan %, 1908
Wednesday, Jan. 81, was ice day In bos-
ton. The snow which covered strata m
of ice was washed away by heavy rain,
and the streets and sidewalks were aglsre
The Thursday morning papers had
columns devoted to accidents caused by
the slippery streets. Oue youth slipped
and sprained bis hip, but attempted 10
hobble bone and was struck by truck
team and had bis arm broken. team
ster found his horse slipping backward
down a decline, and jumped on the cart
to try to sheer the horse round, but the
whole concern went over an embankment
about fifteen feet. The driver escaped
with only bruises, and the horse was not
much injured, but the cart was smashed
There was a lsdicrous side to sffsirs,
however, II one simply looked on, though
the fun wasn't on the part OF the passtD
gers. One man walking very independ-
entity along with an umbrella, suddenly
found himself lying in the gutter In a
riyulet OF water, while his umbrellas went
one way and his hat another, regardiess
of bis feelings.
A lady just leaving home found herself
kneeling in a pool of wster. with her
handbag and parcels distributed about
the sidewalk, while her UNI breIls started
on q tour OF Its own down the street.
w hen she picked herself up the umbrella
was still gently gliding along, and each
time that she nesred 1t the obstinate ar
ticle would take a fresh start, and evsded
capture till il reached the foot of the
street, when she caught ii and proceeded
on her way.
A youth walking briskIy along sud-
denly seemed to think of gymnastics, and
nearly turned somerssult in the street,
but fortunately saved his footing and bis
mbrells.
Later on, however, one good Samaritan
after another sprinkled ashes on the
walks, and travel became comparatively
safe.
The new Majestic theatre on fremont
street is nearing completion, and 1t is said
to be one Of The finest in the city. A. B.
Robbins, formerly of Deer Isle, has fur
nished the iron work, which is nearly all
done. The building is fire-proof, scarcely
any wood being used in its construction.
The week OF prayer was observed in oil
the churches, and in many of them was
continued longer. Many fine speakers
were engaged.
Fires were unusually numerous during
the late cold snap, owing to bursting
pipes and the burning OF soft coal. A
dense cloud Of smoke hovers over the city
nearly all the time, reminding one of
the stories OF London smoke, though 1t
does not show very much when one Is In
the midst OF it, as it hovers overhead
while the lower air is comparatively clear.

Going East.

PASADENA, CAL, Jan. %, 1903.
To the Editor of The american:
One of South Hancock's young men,
living at present in Pasadena, started to
walk east last Sunday. He got out into
the sage brush country where apiaries
flourish, arroyos pillow their deep. stony
burrows through the plain, just beyond II
nest of wineries, altogether about three
miles out.
Night came on. He thought it the
better part OF valor to make back tracks
quickly, and follow the sun in his going
down.
On his return.he fell in with his en-
ployer, who, seeing his hungry and weary
look, invited him to sit in the fri, ndly
shade OF his orchard near by, and refresh
himself with orange juice. He accepted.
He finally succeeded in reaching his
western home, covered with dust, but
glad that he had not met with RATHER
(rattlesnakel or long cared jack rabbit.
Perhaps now he will be contenttd to
dwell for a season in the midst of an ever
blooming garden.
Another youth from the same locality
was, on the 22nd instant, shingling on the
roof of one-story dwelling with his feet
hanging over the caves and buried in the
top of tree loaded down with golden
fruit. He remarked: II rather have my
feet in the top of an orange tree than in a
snow drift"
Another Yankee still sticks to the
phrase: "As homeIy as a stump fence,
but prefers to be where there are gera-
mum hedges and rose-trees.

Dear II. B Friends:

Dear II. B Friends:
How quickly our minds work, and one
thought follows another by thread of
writ Ike that above-strengthl 1.-The
Lord strong and mig hty" followed by "The
strength of the hills is His also"-this
suggests an old poem which have not seen
for years.
"For the strength of the hills we bless Thee
Our God, our fathers God
Thou hast made thy children mighty,
By the touch of the mountain sod,
Thou hast fixed our ark of refuge
Where the spoilers foot meier trod,
For the strength of the hills we bless Thee,
Our God, our fathers God"
Going on from the fact OF God as a
stronghold, we think of man who in
greater or less deg ee possesses this attri-
butte or power. Strength of ind, strength
Of character, muscular strength-each and
all Of these win admiration from those
who witness an exhibition of those
powers, and the admiration varies in kind
and qualify acco ding to the taste and
habits Of the beholder.
Some win admire the powerful argu
ment, the bril- liant int iect and the sound
logic; ano her will be moved by
the heroc de- d, the answering loyalty
and steadfastness in principle, while others
think most of the powerful arm, the abil
ity to e. dure ia dship and the athletes

How fortunate for US all that we have
the ability to cultivate some kind of
strength-pei hsps more than one kind.

And thou shalt know e'er long,

SECRECY OVER SHAMROCK III.

George Ward. son OF John Ward Of Dem

are constructing the Shamrock III. arrived
in New York yesterday on the Bohemian.
Much care. he said, is being taken to in
sure secrecy in regard to the construction
of the challenger. He has been studying
shipbuilding in the Denny yards for near
ly six years. but even he has not been
allowed to see the boat.
''The Shamrock ILL.," he said. will prob
ably be launched some time In March,
for she Is rapidly nearing completion. I
understand that her hull Is of nickel steel
and not Of manganese bronze or aluminium
as has been rumored. No one, save the
picked workmen from Flies who are act
ually employed on the boat, has seen her.
Mr.. Fife is personally experimenting every
detail Of the work. Watson has not seen
the boat. but has seen the plans, and so
knows wherein she varies from Shamrock
II, which he designed.
Il do not think that the new boat will
vary greatly from the sother two Ratsey
