"1s it not beautifully" said the
Devil.
"Most beautiful" replied the
Angel, going closer, and there was
a long silence of alteration.
Suppose we take the seeds of
it, and plant them on the earth?"
suggested Lucifer charitably.
81 will go myself" said the
Angel, with the light of a kindly
purpose in his eyes. He swept
the golden seeds into his hand and
started away down the hillside.
The Devil put the end of his tail
into his mouth again and bit it in
his savage joy. He did not dare
to laugh until the Angel was out
of hearing. But at the edge of
the hillside the Angel turned.
We ought to give it a name?"
he said benesolently.
Call it Love- replied the
Devil, and then he lay back in the
bed of rue screaming with silent
laughter. No more Records of
the Paleozoic Age for him.

In addition to green timber,
the Carbon Timber Co. has
secured the tract Of timber burned
over on Douglas creek two years
ago, and is converting all of this
that is available into ties. This
tract was practically worthless to
the government, as it is too far
back in the mountains to be of
use to the ranchmen, and in a few
years decay would have made the
timber a total loss, but the con-
tract with the Timber Co. makes
it q good source of revenue.
The Medicine Bow forest reserve
is fast increasing in Importance
and the work at the present rate
will soon require the addition of
more rangers.
A more competent supervisor
than Mr.. Davis it would be diff

splendid condition. The fires
have been reduced from half q
dozen disastrous confagrations
two years ago to none at all this
year, a fact that is immensely
gratifying to all il. this section
of the country.

Several Hundred Thous-
n and Ties to be. Cut
This Year.
ciRBoM TIMBER COMPANY
lave Purchased Quite an Acreage Of
Timber. Including Burned Tract
on Douglas Greek.

L.. q. Davis, supervisor Of the
Medicine Bow forest reserve, re-
turned the first of the week hom
ten days visit to the tie camps
located on the reserve on Douglas
and French creeks.
There are immense tracts of
Timber located on these two creeks
which will furnish ties for a num-
Der of years to come and the Car
bon Timber Co., have contracted
for several thousand acres which
will be cut over this winter ami
the ties hoated downin the spring.
In disposing of tie timber the
government does not sell anything
but trees suitable for ties, retain
ing everything larger or smaller,
and in future if II company wishes
10 re-cut the area the timber avail
able must be purchased as in the
original case.
Before the cutting of ties on the
reserve can be commenced the
tract to be cut over is inspected by
The rangers, who asu and
stamp a U. 5. on every tree avail
able for ties, and choppers must
cut only stamped timber. After
The ties are cut and banked, they
re counted and again STAMPED
q. $. When it is considerered
there will be several hundred
thousand ties cut from the reserve
This winter some idea of the
of work that will have to
be done by the rangers aud super
visor is OBTAINED.
In the government contract it ia
specified that in the area chopped
over all brush and tops must be
gathered up and piled in open
spaces, a sufficient distance from
standing timber to not damage or
endanger it when the brush is
burned. The burning of the brush
is done by the rangers when the
green tops and limbs have dried
efficiently to ignite. This not
bnly safeguards the forest FROM a
lire starting in the unerhrush and
debris, but acts as a fertilizer. for
the forest soil, much the same us
a forest fire without the disastrous
results. 1t is'a we'll known fact
that a year or two after a tract uf
timber has been burned over it
will have a luxurient growth of
grass, the ground having been
thoroughly fertilized blythe aahes.
In this manner a tract Of timber
is cut over, cleaned of all under
brush and is left in a practically
fire-proof condition. Chief For
roster Clifford Pinchot, head of
the department of Forestry and
Agriculture, who has made a thor
Pugh study of forestry in every
phase, is authority for the state
ment that the thinning out of
timber by tie cutting is not only
IAN advantage but productive of
excellent results. In the first
place it clears the timber of I'M
derbrush, which is a constant
menace in the way of fire. In the
second place it thins out the TIM
Der allowing a sturdier, straighter
and better class Of timber to grow,
and the burning of the underbrnsh
acts more or less as a FERTILIZER fol-
the grass, making much more
desirable pasture as well as also
being a safeguard against fire,
which cannot spread unless by

CHURCH WITH ROOF GARDEN
Plans of Evangelist to Attract the
Young and Old.

\ church that will be as attractive
as a theater is the object Of the efforts
of a Chicago evangelist, the Rev.
Charles Reign Scoville. says the Cos
mOpolitan Magazine. The church is the
Metropolitan Church of Christ. Dur
ing the coming summer a large roof
garden on top of the structure will be
open nightly part of the time for serv-
ices and part of the time for concerts.
In the main auditorium indoors there
is theater stage. with capacity O.
l16 singers, where concerts also will
be given.
The roof garden is explained to be
an attempt to solve the problem of at
tracing young people to church and of
holding the older members during the
summer months. Besides a chorus
choir and a. Sunday school orchestra
the church has Metropolitan male
chorus. a Metropolitan brass band and
a glee club called the Winona, which
travels for lyceum bureau under the
direction Of the musical director of the
church. All these musical bodies will
give sacred concerts on the roof garden
on certain nights during the week.
The church roof garden will be made
as attractive as its secular prototype,
plants. ferns and palms being used in
proiusion. Above the garden will be a
Steel roof, supported by posts. which
Will be 80 arranged that the whole can
be inclosed by heavy wire screens to
protect the audience from insects that
the lights might attract.

KINDLY DOGS OF WAR.
Russian scheme to Aid Wounded
Men on the Battlefield

The latest movement Of the Russians
to provide further aid for their wound
ed, which is badly needed, is the utili-
zation of dogs, says the New York
World.
The German emperor has presented
three Scotch sheep dogs which have
been trained In ambulance work TO the
Russian Dog Breeders association, and
after they have been tested they will
be sent to the far east.
1t is also intended by the association
to teach number of animals to be of
assistance, either by remaining at the
side of a wounded man when they
have found him and attracting the at
tention of the ambulance by barking
or by going silently in search of the
ambulance corps and conducting it to
the spot where the wounded man is
lying.
Each animal is to carry a wallet
strapped on his back containing ban
dages, restoratves and water. thus fol-
lowing the old custom of the hospice
at ST Bernard

bureaucratic Man.

For the past few months the maya
zines, church papers and even the news
papers have been considerably worked
up over the fact that men do not go
to church. If people want TO make
themselves unhappy, there are always
plenty of subjects over which they
can grow mournful, and the masculine
tendency TO remain away from divine
worship can serve as we'll as anything
else. But why this sudden outburst Of
peSsimism? The reluctance OF men .
listen 10 preaching is not SO new that
it should disturb the world as though
it were a sudden revelation of male
deprayity. AS matter OF fact, men
do 90 to some churches. There are
usually one or more preachers in every
city that draw young men in such
crowds there is difficulty in seating the
congregation People. whatever their
sex. go TO the sort of thing that inter-
ests them. Where ministers have
vital. yirile, heartfelt message, they
do not lack hearers, and men hearers
at that The Washington Post hits the
nail very squarely on the head when it
says:
Men are attracted by those preachers
who do not weary them with expositions
OF their purely personal views as to alb
struse and undressing questions Of the
ology, but preach instead the message
from the Mount of Olives which all can
understand and to which every heart re-
spends with gratitude and reverence.
Very few rational men in this enlightened
age want to be told exactly what kind Of
heaven or hell they will go to II they do
this or that They are convinced, in the
first place, that the preacher who is tell
Ing them does not know any more about
II than they do, and, in the next place,
they resent that particular form Of ex-
hortation.
Men are as hungry for the bread Of
life, for the simple gospel Of love, for
the spiritual substance back Of the
form, as they ever have been. There Is
little occasion for pessimistic condem-
nations of the age. All ages are pretty
much alike, though we have an abiding
faith that they are improving. The
only need is that the teachers of the
people keep abreast of the time, have
something to say and be In earnest
about saying it. People care little
about the husks OF opinion. but very
much for genuine faith, truth and help
full love.

THE REVIVAL OF BICYCLING.
An Enthusiasts Reasons For En-
cOuraging the Pastime.

Will cycling ever regain its former
place? 1t is believed that it will, be
cause 1t deserves to come again into
popular favor, says Abbot Bassett. sec
rotary Of the L. A. w, in Harpers
Weekly. The enthusiasts among wheel
men today are the old timers. They
thoroughly appreciate what the wheel
has done for them, and it is a great
source ofsregret that the young people
of today do not get the fun, the health.
the exhilaration that the veterans got
from the wheel when younger blood
coursed in their veins. The boys and
girls of today have been looking at
wheeling as thing not to do. They
know nothing of touring and of the
various functions which have been Il
part of wheel life.
We believe bicycling will come back
because the bicycle is a practical thing.
1t has enduring qualities. 1t IS Il
thing that ought TO live and it will live.
Those who have never ridden a wheel
cannot begin to appreciate the eNhil-
aration which comes from riding. No
other form Of locomOtion can compare
with it. The automobile is a lazy
mans vehicle 1t serves him who
wants comfort and freedom from work
| II provides the element Of excitement
and danger but 1t does not provide
health giving exercise and exhilara-
I ton
During the time Of what may be
called the decline Of bicycling the wheel
has not gone out entirely. for thou
sands and hundreds of thousands are
riding it and will continue to ride it.
1t is used very largely for unitarian
purposes. The schOolboy rides it to
and from school. the laborer rides It

each OF their thirty members with Il
separate subscription list. All the lists
were exactly alike, and each member
was coached TO make the same line OF
talk. Thirty of the leading attorneys
were selected, and each student was
assigned 10 submit his paper and the
prearranged hot air TO some one OF
these lawyers. Thus each person APP

ing a subscription list. and he came
up handsomely Mr.. Knox cheerfully
headed the paper for $50. Mr.. Watson
headed another sheet for a similar

sum that was simply astounding"

America A few years ago he was

A Foe Of the Boil weevil.

The discovery by the agricultural de-
partment Of an ant that kills the cot
ton boil weevil calls To mind one Of
De MOrgan's ~Parsdoxes:'
Great neas have little hsas upon their
backs % bite en-,
And little feas have lesser neas and 80
ad inrnitum-
The manner in which the ant gets in
its work ON the weevil Is Interesting
and even gratifying. Any one who has
seen a crop Of cotton destroyed by the
pestiferous beetles will find II impOs-
sible TO contemplate the artistic and
workmanlike method by which the ant
commits murder without feeling a
thrill OF unholy delight Mr.. q. +.
Cook. the expert who has been con
Quoting the Investigations, describes
the act thus:
The ants mandlbles are large enough TO
grasp the weevil around the middle and
pry apart the Joint between the thorax
and the abdomen. The long flexible body
is bent at the same time In circle TO in
sert the sting at the unprotected point
where the beetles strong Rrrnor Is open.
The poison takes effect instantly: the
beetle ceases TO struggle and. with It's
legs twitching feebly, is carried away IN
the Jaws Of its captor. As with many
other insects when stung by wasps- the
PARALYSIS is permanent. Even when taken
away from the ants the beetles do not re-
cover. The adruit and businesslike man
ner In which the beetle is disposed Of. In
very much less time than even the brief
est account Of the operation could be read,
seems to prove beyond question that the
ant is by structure and by instinct es-
pecially equipped for the work Of de-
struction. and is in short, the true ex-
PLANTATION Of the fact that cotton is sue
cessfulIy cultivated by the Indians OF Alta
Vera Paz in spite Of the presence of the
boil weevil Instead OF congregating In
large numbers on the cotton In the I'M
mediate vicinity Of their nests. the ants
have. as It were. the good sense TO spread
themselves through the field. from two
TO four or five usually being found doing
inspection duty on each plant. In some
places there seemed TO be not enough ants
to go around and here the beetles were
more numerous. Rarely. too, certain
flowers or branches seemed to have been
overlooked beetles being found on the
same plants with the ants. In such In
stances indeed, the young flower or boil
was generally riddled with punctures, as
though many beetles had availed them
selves of rare opportunity Of feeding I'M
disturbed.
Alta Vera Paz. where the investga-
lions have been made. is in Guatemala.
The only question is whether or not the
ant can be brought TO America. The at
tempt to introduce him into Texas and
other southern states will be made al
once, and it is generally believed that
ii will be successful.
