cided to stay over until the day follow

early part of the afternoon on his hands,
and, remembering the address and the
hard luck story, he decided to satisfy his
curiosity by a visit to the woman. He
found her, in the greatest poverty as de-
scribed, and saw evidences to confirm
the allegations of the stranger.
On his way home he stopped in Chi
cago and enlisted the services OF law
yer friend there to look up the husband,
whom he now heard had recently died.
In his interview with the wife she as
sured him that all she wanted was a
bare living. enough to keep of want
from herself and children. In day or
two he had a telegram from the Chicago
attorney saying to come at once, that all
the statements made were true, and that
a settlement ought to be attempted at
once.
A trip was made to Boston. Wife No..
2, who had inherited the fortune, learned
with amazement of the existence OF a
previous wife and~her lawyers were
equally astonished. But evidence was
plentiful and brief investigation led to
a settlement, by which the $4,000, 600 es-
tate-for that is what it scheduled-was
equally divided.
And Senator Spooner took as his fee
$75O,OOO.

Croker, Former New York Boss, Pro-
poses to Drive American Pig
Out of Ireland.

Richard Croker has begun his resi-
dence in Ireland by throwing himself
into the industrial revival that is pro-
ceeding there. His first scheme is the
creation of bacon factory in Tipperary.
He is not going to run it exclusively as
his own, but he is finding the money to
set the machinery in motion. He has
planked down $4,000 to put up build
ing, which will be supplied with the lat,
est machinery and appliances for bacon
curing purposes. He has financed a
delegation which is now exploring Den
mark for the purpose of ascertaining the
latest methods employed in that country
in creameries and bacon curing.
1t is Mr.. Cookers intention to work
the factory on the cooperative principle.
He has made thorough investigation
into the possibilities of the proposed
business and he has satisfied himself
that the native product will drive
American bacon out OF Ireland. He is

how Wisconsin Senator Made Three
Quarters of a Million.
He Liked Baseball and That IL Why
He IL n Very Rich Man Now
A Good story Even III
Overlrawn.

Senator John C. Spooner, of Wiscon-
sin, is devoted to baseball, but there are
few men who have turned single bali
game to account to the tune of $3.50, 900.
But that's what he did once, according
to the Chicago Journal. AS he tells IT.,
he was sitting on fence, in the little
New England town where he spends his
summers, watching game, when for
tune came to him in the disguise of Z
shabby man with hard-luck story.
Ordinarily the senator would not have
had time to listen to the hard-luck plea
butas he could watch the game and listen
simultaneously, he told the man to fire
away
The stranger said he was passing
through town and wanted to interest the
senator, in his capacity of lawyer, in the
case of his sister, who was living in abb
ject poverty in Boston with several chill
Gren dependent on her and no means for
support. He went on to explain that his
sister had married barkeeper of that
city, and that her husband had been very
successful and had finally become inter-
ested in a number of hotels and that he
was a millionaire. With his change Of
fortunes he had taken to dissipation, and
finally had abandoned his family and
was living with another woman who
claimed to be his wife.
Senator Spooner listened, but con-
fesses he was not much impressed with
the story. The stranger said neither he
nor his sister had any money to pay a
lawyer, but that they were anxious to
have Senator Spooner look after the
case, and urged that he take it on con-
tingent fee, which would be half of what
he could get for the abandoned WIFE,
The senator remarked that he would see
about it, and took the address of the
woman in Boston, who was said to be
deserted and thought little more about
1t.

Spooner was in Boston short time after

The United States Forestry Bureau
Worthy Of High Praise.
How 1t IL Directed by Clifford Pinchot
Large Territory Under Govern
ment COntrol-Bad Laws to

Fifty-three national forest reserves,
with the enormous area Of 1884 1865
acres, represent the remarkable prog
ress of the new science of conserving
one of the greatest elements of our
national wealth. The directing force
behind this great development of the
country's economic life rests chiefly
in q young man who. five years ago,
at the age of SO, became forester Of the
United States, and at this rate, II
Clifford Pinchot is permitted to devote
himself few years longer to the work
he has in hand, its universally benet-
cent influence can scarcely be lost for
the next thousand years.
Mr. Pinchot was deliberately edu-
Gated for the career in which he is now
engaged A native Of Connecticut. he
was graduated from Yale in 1889, and
then studied forestry in France. Ger

began his first systematic forest work
in Biltmore, N. c., in January, 1892.
on the estate Of George w. Vanderbilt.
He also served as member Of the
national forest commission Whlcn
drew the boundaries Of the Cleveland
forest reserves. He has been a large
contributor to the literature Of the
subject which supplies his lifeworh.
and has done much In this way to
bring it home to the popular COM
prehension. He became forester I'M
der the department of agriculture on
July i, 1898, and has gradually per-
fected the organization Of superb
working force Of young men which
now covers the entire country. In the
south and the Adirondack region Of
New York his plans for scientific lum-
bering and reforestation have been gen.
orally accepted by those engaged in
the industry.
1t is in the great mountain regions
of the west, however, that Mr.. Pinchot
finds his widest and most important
field. There the relation of the for

est to the economic life Of the entire
community is much deeper and more
far-reaching than anywhere else. The
preservation of the forest is not mere
ly question of q continued supply or
timber in it's raw and manufactured
forms, but it is also question of con-
serving the water supply, upon which
agriculture and mining are directly.
and all other kids of business indi-
rectly, dependent.
The New York Tribune thinks there
Is inspiration in the work to which
Clifford PinchOt has set his hand. He
is not only aiming to establish for
estry system under which existing tim
Der belts shall yield their product for
ever in regular crops, but to make
trees spring into life where they have
been wantonly destroyed and even
where they have never grown within
the memory of living man.
A bill now pending in congress and
favorably reported in the house pro-
vides for the transfer of these reserves
to Mr.. Pinchot's bureau of forestry, in
which is to be consolidated all the for
estry work of the government, now
divided among several bureaus.
But the government, looking to its
present welfare, as we'll as to future
generations, will have to go further
even than this. The present practice,
under the timber and stone law, OF
selling at $3.50 an acre timber lands
which are worth in many instances
$50 and even 500 an acre is likely
to give way 20 the placing OF all the
public timber in the reserves, to be
forever owned by the government, the
government forester to sell the timber
thereon, but under regulations which
will insure the perpetuation OF the for
ests and prevent the denudati0n of vast
areas and preserve water supplies. BY
selling government timber at its real
market value the government would
obtain $1,000, 900 where it now receives
$1,000, under the operation of the tim
Der and stone law. To this end mod
fication OF the desert land act and the
enactment of a new timber and stone
act, whereby the government will be
authorized to sell timber at its actual
value, are to be attempted in a bill
Introduced by Senator Hansbroush.
The official statement OF the COM
missioner of the general land office
that the government has lost in actual
cash between 500, 1000, 900 and $115,-
DOC, 900 through the operation OF the
timber and stone act will doubtless
he a powerful argument in favor Of
the enactment Of the new law.

had come to them in the meantime.
They left the employment bureau to-

Mrs. Kretchener was too good for a
servant, and that he needed wife more

bellion was led by her greatest SOL

trained samurai. The government was
compelled to put forth its eatest
strength An imperial prince was ap'
pointed to the nominal command, hlt
as chief of staff Yamagata wa; the
real general in chief and led the forces
which crushed the rebellion.
When war started with China IN 1894
Yamagata was Immediately givel COM
mand of the first army that Invaded
Manchuria. Those who We're with the
army at the time describe the immense
enthusiasm with which his ccming
was greeted by his soldiers.
After the war Yamagata was made a
marquis and the new military rank OF
field marshal was established to which
he was promoted. The active inter-
ference of Russia, which deprived ia
pan of the fruits of victory, led the
government to try to come to some
understanding that would preserve the
independence Of COrea. Yamagata was
appointed special ambassador for this
purpose and proceeded to st. Peters,
burg. where he effected the treaty
which is the basis of Japan's latest de-
mands upon Russia. Not trusting al
together to this, Japan proceeded to
double her army and greatly increase
her navy. Several officers were pro-
NOTED to the rank Of field marshal IN
the army and an equal rank in the
navy and organized into supreme
council of war.
Of this Yamagata was made CHIEF, a
nosition which he still holds. Cons1d-
ering the season of the year and the
fact that he is over 65 years old and
rather frail physically, it is improbable
that he will take the field In person,
but in any case he will occupy much
the same place in this war that Won
Noltke did m the Franco-Prussian war.

THE STORY OF JAPAN
It Reads Like a Chapter from a
Work of Fiction.
Nation Was Deep in Oriental Stunt Der
Until Our Navy Woke 1t Up
Great Progress Made In
Half q Century.

Originally the islands that made up
Dial Nippin, or Great Japan, were peo-
pied by Caucasian race. who occupy
in Japanese history a position similar
to the early Britons in English history
These people, now represented by the
hairy Anus of northern Yeddo, were
driven northward by the swarm of Mon
golians, who swept across Corea from
northern China. The first great leader
known was Jimmu Tenno, who founded
his dynasty about $50 B. G. He is del
fed as the descendant of Amaterasu,
Goddess of the Sun. Another string of
Mongolics came from the Malaysia by
way of the string of islands. To this
southern strain is probably due the mer-
curial temperament of the Japs. Super
ficially the Japs seem to resemble the
Chinese, but close examination proves
that the race has been evolved inde-
pendently. They, however, absorbed
the earlier Chinese civilization.
The history Of the succeeding Gen.
turtles is vague until about 200 A. D.,
when an amazonian empress by the ap-
propriate name of lingo captured Corea
This campaign was a big thing for
japan in more ways than one. The vas
sails brought with their tributes the
knowledge of writing, the civilization of
China, the mulberry and the silk worm.
The art of spinning and weaving fol-
lowed, and in the year $50 the first image
of Buddha appeared. In the succeeding
century there was perfect rage-like
that now for western ideas-for the civ
ilization of China. Arts, customs and
opinions-whether Of society, morals or
politics-were assimilated with the
greatest ardor. Buddhism made rapid
progress. Feudalism was instituted and
great Offices we're made hereditary and
the shotgun of Yeddo (sho-general, gun
army became of greater power than the
mikado. In the fifteenth century the
mikado and Shotgun got to fighting, and
both were whipped by the samurai, or

warrios. After that a series of strong
shoguns held sway over the land.
In 1545 the Portuguese navigator Men
DEE Pinto, with lot of followers, land
ed and soon established himself. He
was followed by the Jesuit missionary.
St. Francis Xavier, who made rapid
progress, the initiative Japs taking
readily to the new visitors and new GUS
toms. But the visitors were too free,
and were ordered away in 1897. BY 1898,
after terrible persecution, Christianity
was extirpated and all foreigners were
kept away except the Chinese and Dutch
traders. This expulsion was accom-
plished by the Tokugawa shoguns, who
introduced horrible system Of espion-
age, which has left its mark until the
present day in the shape of dishonesty
and lack of civic courage.
When Commodore Perry knocked at
the door of Japan in 1854, the shotgun
rule and the last phase Of medievalism
fell before modern civilization. That
date, when the treaty OF the United
States was signed, March 81, 1854, was
the birth of modern Japan. Yokohama,
Nagasaki and Hakodate were opened to
trade in 1859, and the next year we sent
a minister to the court of the mikado.
The daimios, or military leaders,
were a long time in accepting the.
changed conditions, and there were
many attacks on the foreigners. Our
own legation was attacked in 1861, and
an Interpreter killed, and the legation
was burned in 1868. Reprisals and punt
tive expeditions followed for several
years. and it was 1868 before order came
about after the young mikado had over
thrown the military rulers. The first
wear of enlightened rule really was 1858,
when the mikado moved to Tedo,
changed its name to Toxic and made it
the capital of the empire. He soon abol-
ished the feudal system and began to
copy the ideas Of the western civiliza-
ton. The first newspaper appeared in
1870, and the first railway was opened
two years later. History moved rap
idly after that, and the country was
opened to foreigners generally. The
edict against Christians was removed
and missionaries welcomed. A consti-
tuition granted to the people went into
effect in 1889. Japan declared war on
China on February II, 1895, which last
ed less than a year. After the treaty OF
peace, Russia stepped in and robbed
:Iapan Of all the fruits of victory except
the island of Formosa, and the retention
of the captured Chinese navy.
