Chicago Feb IA Washington spe-

President Roosevelt has been placed in

explanation was offered by a New York

ON Thursday of last week some one in

came to- the conclusion that the Nelson
publicity amendment was uernici0uS
piece or legislation. He called an IN
formal conference Of The officials of the
company. and the matter was fully dis
cussad- The general op3li0n was that
the publicity clause was aimed at the
STANDARD oil company and at two or
three other large corporations. Also
that il was q humbug sort OF law. in
the sense that while it was designed to
make trouble for faV concerns for the
pur uasa of h9odv-lnE1ng the public into
a belief that the Republican party was
seriously and effectively attacking the

MERRY CHRISTrIAS
IN A COURT ROOM

Denver. Dec. 26.-One of the most
unique celebrations In this city, or in
the world. yesterday. was that of
Judge Ben b. Lindsey and his boys"
The judge had fully 200 little chaps.
members of the juvenile family. in the
ly decorated, and in which huge
Christmas tree. teeming with presents.
took the place OF the attorneys table
directly In front of the Judges bench.
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning the
scene in the room was the most re-
markable in the history of Yuletide
festivities.
Instead OF the judicial dignity which
usually pervades the court room. there
was the delightful abandonment of all
conventionalities. and the place rang
with the laughter and whistling of the
200 healthy youn Ssters, of whom the
Judge has charged himself to make
creditable men. The boys were treat
ed to little vaudeville entertainment
and then were given all kinds OF toys
new half dollar. And Judge Lindsey
was Just as much of a boy as any OF
them.
George Billings sang several solos
which seemed 20 appeal to the boys
decidedly, as he was applauded very
enthusiastically by them and encored
several times.
Judge Lindsey extends his thanks to
all the newspapers and the merchants
that helped make possible the celebra-
ton in his court yesterday.
The carrying out of that celebration
yesterday was only characteristic of
Judge Lindsey. In his work of boy re-
demption he has originated many ways
OF appealing to the little chaps. and
when he hit upon the idea THAT
Christmas tree in the court room of
great community would be a novelty.
he at once began to work the idea out.
And he succeeded admirably. He him
self said that he had never heard of
similar celebration.

"The felled timber. including that
loaded on cars for shipment. sawmill
and appurtenances, seized. and made
a claim for money due to the trespass-
ers. The property eonfscated at this
one plant at Dillon. where twelve men
were working. will probably foot up
$500. 900 when the estimate is com
pleted,
That the depredations were exten-
siye and extended over a long period.
is evinced by the fact that examina-
ton of the available books showed that
for ten months. during the past year
one firm alone had shipped by rail for
ty carloads of timber. which probably
was not one-tenth of the entire amount
felled. No later than last winter. am
told. whole acre OF ground was COW
cred with timber which is believed to
have been felled on public domain and
shipped to paper mills.
THE peculiar fact is that the parties
accused Of denuding public forests and
appropriating the proceeds to their pri-
vate profit have been so accustomed to
freedom from molestation that they re
gard the appearance of dealers on n
small scale as an intrusion on their pre-
serves, and the poor man with fam
lily to support. who. mayhap. ia con-
strained to cut an Insignificant amount
OF timber to save his flesh and blood
from freezing. is likely to be discoun-
tenanced and oppressed.
Now that the result of the inyesti-
cations are made public. increased in
terest in the preservation OF the public
forests throughout the state is antici-
pated. especially on the part OF
those public spirited individuals who
have previously shown interest in this
important matter which so vitality af-
fects irrigation problems and the agri-
cultural interests OF the state"

Lessons from Dogs

we may learn good lesson from
our good friend the dog now and
then" said a man who is always be-
friending members OF the canine tribe
to a New Orleans Times-Democrat
writer. "and we should remember the
fact at times when we are inclined TO
quarrel with some of the more worth
less members. Already we have
learned lesson in constancy of
friendship from the dog and men OF
letters have scarcely praised the vir-
tues OF mankind more than they have
praised this virtuous attribute of the
dog. The dog Is good friend to his
master, a faithful companion who
shares his masters fortune whatever
II may be. No dog was ever known
to. desert his master because fortune
or fate had shifted from the palace to
the hovel, from afiluence to grinding
poverty The dog will remain fast
when other friends higher in the scale
of animal development will desert and
pull away to where the pastures are
greener.
