Forest. and Human vitality.

One has but to look back through his
tory to see how closely related is the
forest to human vitality. 1t was in the
forests of Thessaly hat the early
Greeks received their energy that later
Powered into genius. 1t was the forest
jewellers of Germany that conquered
decadent Rome and later gave to Spain
the vigor that swept back the Moor
and brought under her flag almost the
whole known world. But today what
Is Greece. what is Italy. what is Spain:
They have been stripped of their for
ests, those nurseries of vigor, and their
decay has set in. Everywhere the law
holds good. 1t is in the forest that the
manhood is nourished which builds up
great civilizations. But cities arise.
trees are swept away, and the inevita-
BILE decline sets in. Forests once de,
stroyed cannot return. and over all the
sites Of ancient civilization are blowing
the desert sandS.-Arthur GoOdby In

Shortly after the assassination of
Emperor Paul OF Russia Tennyson, the

high rank whose names he did not
know were also guests. During dinner
a guarded reference was made to the
emperor's death. why do you speak

whose breast was covered with orders.
.We know very well in England that
the Emperor Paul was murdered.
Count Zobof knocked him down, and
Benningsen and Count Pahlen stran-
gled him" There was a strained ST.
lence; then the ambassador abruptly
changed the subject. As the guests
fled out into an adjoining room Lord
st. Helens drew Tennyson aside.
Don't go into the next ROOM" he
whispered, but fly for your life. The
man e you, across whose breast
you leaned, was Count Pahlen. and
Zoboff was also at the table" He gave
a few hurried directions. and Tenny-

Orphan, a Greek poet whosfiourished in

which we learn that many articles in

Senator Wellington, Of Maryland,
who retires from the Senate next
has introduced in the Senate
! amendment to the federal Constitu-
ton limiting private fortunes to ten
millions of dollars. 1t is safe to as
sumo that the amendment will not be
taken seriously. A better way to reach
the end in view, which is the accumu-
lation of vast fortunes by individuals
to point where they become a danger
would be to legislate against the means
by which they are acquired through
government aid That would be Ie-
gitimate and proper subject for legisla-

Thomas q Recket

In 1898, when Henry VIII rooted up
Thomas a Becket's grave and erased
his name from the scroll Of saints, he
also ordered that all pictures, stained
glass windows and frescoes bearing up
on the life Of this saint should be de-
stroyed. In some churches where St
Thomas was held in special honor the
law, was eyaded by superimposing an
other picture over the forbidden one
On the north wall of the church at
South Newington, near Banbury, Eng
land, there is a crudely executed fresco
of Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusa-
lem. From the effects of age and damp
this fresco is gradually disappearing,
and now through the colossal donkey on
which our Lord is represented riding
can be seen the figure Of the murdered
archbishop prone on the chancel steps.
Gradually, possibly, the whole under
lying fresco of the murder of st. Thorn
as at Canterbury will come into view,
and it is evidently of far higher artistic
merit than the hastily executed cover
ing one

a SONG OF THE GEORGIA PEACH

The Times Recorder concurs with the
Griffin News when it says: ''Of all the
words of praise of the famous Georgia
peach, nothing more exquisite than the
following lines has ever been penned.
The poem was written by Mabel Swar-
ty Withoff, of Dayton, o..
Born of the sun and nourishing rain,
Uuion of dew and glow,
Flushed with the pride of hundred dawns
Cooled by the green below;
Sweetened by smiles of the summer noon,
Hanging just out Of reach
The Ioyliest, luscious fruit on earth,
The beautiful Georgia peachl
Take from me apples of cider flesh.
Rob me of plum and pear
Lose every orange of juicy gold,
Let not a whey ard bear;
Apricots' rose from Its cheeks may fade,
Melons may dry and bleach,
If thick in the low green orchard hangs
That beautiful Georgia peach.
Under the moon of a Southern sky,
Breathing the oceans balm,
Gazing affair on the sandy stretch
OF live oak and pine and palm,
Listening, hushed for the cuckoo's cali.
Learning what love may teach,
There's nothing -notaing-completes nte's
charm
Like the beautiful Georgia peach.

PARKER TO THE FRONT.

Judge Alton B. Parker. of New York,
during the recess of the court Of ap-
peals few months hence, is to make
tour of the Southern states, and de-
liver addresses in several Of them.
This shows that the Judge takes the
mention of his name with the nomina-
ton Of 1904 seriously. Early in 1892
David B. Hill made a similar pilgrim
age to the South, where the sentiment
was supposed to be strongly in his IA
yor for the nomination that year As
a preliminary to the boom which was
to be started for him IN the South,
Hill got up his early state convention,
which met in February OF that year,
and which was to commit New York to
him for the candidacy in the national
convention to be held a few months
later.
Hill accomplished nothing by his
''snap'' convention and his Southern
crusade. Will Judge Parker have bet
ter fortune? Possibly he may. The
Judge is an unknown in politics, and as
such he has charms for the Democrat
ic politicians, who are anxious to get a
man who can carry the country on any
sort Of a device or subterfuge. He is
personally a genial and popular man,
but he has made no political record Of
Of any consequence. He supported
Bryan in 1896 and 1900, which may be
a merit in the eyes Of Western Demo
Gratis, but this consideration is not cal
cuIated to arouse any enthusiasm
among the Democrats Of New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and the rest
Of the old doubtful states Of the East,
which viii have to be carried by the
Democrats. if they are to win the pres
idency.
Much interest is taken in Parker in
the South. Many of the newspaper
politicians in that region have proposed
him for the presidency, chiefly on the
ground that as he has made no political
record at all. He is more available than
tn e experienced men of all elements oil
their party, all of whom have made toe
much of a record for their own political
good Undoubtedly Parker's tour viii
attract the country's attention. While
the Republicans are not afraid Of any
aspirant who is mentioned IN connec
ton with the Democratic candidacy
they are naturally interested in any
body who has any chance for carrying
the Democratic convention The
Judges coming swing round the circle
will get some space in the Republican
as well as the Democratic journals
