Jack Frost. Not only was the farmer
benefited by the wood felled in his
forests, but the inhabitants of the
| neighboring town clustered around
the sleds, each containing about cord

which, on certain days, were to be
found in the public square, on sale.
During the whole day bartering went
on, and when a load had been dis
charged, and the good dollars re-
ceived therefor invested in provi-
sions, the owner turned the heads of
his patient oxen homeward, thinking
his wood lot one of the most satisfac-
tory sources of income on his ''place."
All that's now changed. Forests have
been leveled and the timber stripped
from the small farms, so that their
owners are compelled to purchase coal
or cut the small growth which should
be allowed to develop.
The Alleghenies, denuded of their
natural covering, are a melancholy
example of forest waste. The trees are
fast disappearing from northern Mich
ISdu anu WISCONSIN,. Win their aO-
sence have come changed climatic con-
ditions. The demand for all sorts of
wood and timber has never before
been so great as now. Telephone. tele-
graph, electric light poles, railroad
ties. furniture, houses and the num-
berless and increasing needs of civ
ilization are drafting too heavily on
natural growths. Waste has been. per-
haps, greater factor than all the
rest.
There is much discussion about
planting trees, and here the question
of quickest and best wood production
arises. Red oak natures somewhat
earlier, but is less valuable than white
oak, which requires 100 years, if al
ready started, to acquire the diameter
of 80 inches required for quarter-saw-
ing. Lumbermen consider that pine
suitable for use must be $50 years old.

CHILDLESS MOTHERS,
They Have Lost from Out Their Lives
Something That Cannot he
Told In Words.

The wife who has passed her many
years of married life in childless moth
.erhood has lost from out that life a
greatness and pleasure that she may
not have realized at first, but that is
brought home to her with redoubled
force and meaning when she has passed
the zenith of youth and is coming to
understand that life is not perpetual
youth.
Keen anxiety and sorrow she may
have missed, also. Yet it is also true
that lit were better to have loved and
lost than never to have loved at ALL"
The childless mother has not known
the depths of degradation to which a
child can bring its parents, nor yet
has she known the most exquisite love
and bliss. Neither has she known the
anguish of the sting of death, when
her fondest hopes have been laid low.
She has escaped great care and respon-
esibility. but she has lost from her life
in her unalloyed joy more than she has
escaped of sorrow.
The mother love is an elemental part
of true and womanly character, and
that ii is part of her intended nature
is abundantly proven. The woman who
openly declares herself to have never
felt the tender. uplifting sentiment Of
such love, at that moment admits her
self lacking in many a womanly quail
ity of heart and being. Her heart is
not the tender, sympathetic organ that
every woman's heart is supposed to
be. The childless woman who can look
0nmoved upon a mother and her de-
voted son. without pang of envy,
or in other than a spirit of deepest
admira ton, is a woman whom it is wen
has been denied the right of mother
hood. But, fortunately for the world,
such women are few, though childless
homes are many.-N. Y. Weekly.
