leaf pine extended from southern Vir-
ginia thru the south Atlantic and gulf
sta ties to eastern Texas. The advance
of the naval stores industry into this
region has been due to the depletion of
the forest under its attack. More than
one-half of the original forest has been
exhausted, with no renewal. Sonserva-
tive operators now estimate a standing
for fifteen years of box cutting.
Until recently the destructive meth
DDS in use have been regarded with en-
tire indifference in the regions affected
This has been due to the low valuation
OF timber turnout the ;urpentine belt,
and to the popular belief that the pine
forests of the southern safes were in
exhaustible. But it has now become
evident that If the naval stores indus
Try is to be perpetuated some method
must be found which VIII not be pro-
hibitive of later operations in the same
field.
In consequence of the rapidly di-
supply of virgin timber and
the overproduction of naval stores dur
ing the past few years. there was or
ganized in 1901 the Turpentine Opera
tors Association. whose primary object
is. by joint agreement of its members,
tc restrict the output within reasonable
bounds. This, however. can at best only
postpone the evil day unless some radi-
cal reform in operating methods are

change for two silver dollars. All the

q westerner for preferring bright silver
dollars to the torn. dirty paper money

WHISKY WAS POISONED.
IClarinda Herald


A strange thing happened in Cincin-
natl a few days ago. A woman living
in Memphis had became exceedingly
jealous of another lady who lives in
Cincinnati. and the Memphis woman
thinking that she could get rid of her
rival sent some whisky to her by eX-
press. Accidentally the package was
broken and two eXpressmen thought
they would save the whisky and they
did so by drinking part of it, and fur
nished some of 1t to three others. It
seems that the whisky was drugged with
poison. The Memphis woman evidently
expected to make short work of her ri
val, because there was enough poison
in the whisky to down the five men
who drank of 1t. This caused quite a
little stir and a great investigation will
be instituted. 1t seems remarkable how
people get scared over a little thing like
that. Probably those same men had
been been drinking whisky for years
and it was slowly killing them. II they
were not drinking sufficiently excessive
to endanger their lives. there are thou
sands of others who are. Saloonkeep-
ers are constantly selling poisoned
whisky TO people and yet not a word
is said about it. The only difference is,
in this case, the woman added little
mora poison to the whisky, and the
work will be done somewhat sooner
than in the ordinary way, and the
public is shocked and calls it murder
So far Us the murder is concerned, It'll
does not make any difference whether
it ends in death within an hour, within
a week, a year or ten years. IL the
poison is being sold and the person is
taking it, results are the same except
that the saloonkeeper will claim that
he does not sell it with the intention
of committing murder. He simply puts
the responsibility of it on the drinker.

THE NAVAL STORES INDUSTRY.

An industry that has had an i'm
nense growth and is within sight of it's
end unless radical reformatory methods
are introduced is that which produces
tar, pitch, spirits of turpentine and
rosin. The present mode of turpentine
IL is now estimated that fifteen years of
the present system will practically end
the industry in the United States.
Spirits of turpentine and rosin are
obtained by distillation frome crude
turpentine, resin CHIEFLY obtained
from the long leaf pine. The present
method Of obtaining the crude resin is
to chop in the base of the tree itself a
cup-like cavity, the sole purpose OF
which is to receive the resin which
flows from a scarified face of the

contrary, experiment has proved that it

The bee comes wooing the flowers.

Through all the golden hours.

From forest and field and lea,
But youth has fed. and hope lies dead,
So what 6cc they all to me?

Free as the summer air,
Swings and sways and MARBLES,
With never q futtor OF care.

No thought OF the morrow has he,
But the guarded wall. like a somber pail,
O'ershadows 1t all for me.

And gaze on the evening sky.
On the glorious sunset banners
That athwart the iilltops lie.
Till the diamond eyes of heaven
Look down on the bond and the free,
But l see the stars through the prison
bars.
So what are they all to me?
All the flowers have lost their perfume,
The summer breeze is chill
The bees are naught but gluttons,
And harsh the song birds tri!l.
For the mighty voices of nature.
OF earth. of heaven, of sea.
Have naught of cheer for the prisoner

What-what are they all to me?
