The Menace Of the Forest.

THE climatic history Of the
old world will repeat itself in
America. If forest destruct-
ion, at its present rate Of
recklessness, should continue
much longer, our continent
will have to dry up. So will
an orator who should venture
to urge that fact upon a hood
lie Legislature, in this era of
lumber trusts. But the fact
remains, and its significance
may be inferred from the ex-
perience of the Mediterranean
coast lands, where thousands
of God-gardens have been
turned into Gehennas of
wretchedness and desolation.
BY tree destruction alone a
territory Of 4, 500, 900 square
miles has been Withdrawn
from the habitable area of our
planet. The physical history
of the eastern hemisphere is
the history of a desert that
originated somewhere near
the cradle Of the Caucasian
race-in Bactria, perhaps, and
spreading westward, and
southwark, has blighted the
Edens Of three continents like
a devouring fire and is own
scorching the west coast OF
Africa, and sending its warn
ing sand clouds far out to sea
ward. From "Climatic Pros
poets" by DIR. Felix L. Os-
wald, in September National
Magazine.

Jim Wardner's Pass.

The severe illness Of Jim Wardner
has recalled an old story of his sue
cessful attempt to get back to New
York from the coast for a new grub
stake on the occasion OF one of his
periodical attacks OF impecuniosity.
Wardner landed at Vancouver, B. c.,
practically broke and wanted to get
east. lie struck the Canadian Pacif &c
ticket agent for pass and was
turned down.
Finally, Wardner persuaded the
agent to send telegram to General
Manager Shaughnessy at Montreal,
that Wardner was at Vancouver and
unless he got transportation he
would have to walk east. Later the
reply came to the agent: "Don't let
Wardner walk" and the same night
Jiu started eastward on his pass,
which the ageut issued.
Arriving at Montreal, Wardner
called on Shaughnessy to thank him
for issuing the pass and it developed
a mistake had been made in the
transmission Of the telegram. A
period had been left out. What
Shaughnessy had wired In response to
the agents inquirey was: "Don't.
Let Wardner walk
Then Wardner gave Shaughnessy
the laugh and the latter gave Ward
ner q dinner and Wardner didn't
have to walk to New York either.
Add that shows the luck he had.
