Lcmber Notes,

There is lack of interesting features in
the wholesale trade. Conditions have
been the same for month or more, and
are not at all satisfactory. There is a
fair demand for building material, ibut
there is an overproduction of lumber and
lumber products, such as shingles lath,
etc., and too great scramble for orders

prompt shipments and it is keeping them

good shape without piling up more

:, In the State OF New York there Is a
qttle republic where the citizens are
boys. They live under constitution
drawn up by themselves, and they elect
xheir own officers and are governed by
MEM according to laws made by their
own legislators. Some Of the boys have
been bad before they became citizens OF
khe republic; some of them have been
Unfortunate. AS citizens. nearly every
Hne becomes interested In making the re-
bubble as orderly. respectable and admir-
able In every way as possible.
Any citizen who breaks the laws is
a3rrested by another citizen acting as a
policeman, is tried by Judge and jury
Ill boye-according to due process or law
Rnd II he lie found guilty he is sent to
prison in charge of boy guard.
+ A certain citizen who had had very
bad record indeed. was the despair OF
the authorities at the republic. He would
lie and he would steal, and in many
pther ways he proved himself unworthy
Of the confidence of his fellow-citizens.s
Time after time he promised TO do bet
ter, but Just as often as he promised he
broke his word.
At last he came to the founder OF the
republic. who is the good friend of all
8he boys, and told him that he was going

Kindly, but firmly. IT can't do that"

After awhile the boy came again and
asked: Can you trust me now?'
mot yet" was the answer.
Again he asked the same question and
received the same refusal. But at last
the time came when he heard the well
come words Yes, can trust you now"
The bad boy with the black record had
become a model citizen. He was popular
with his fellows. and It was decided to
bestow upon him the highest honor In
the republic. He was elected president,
and very proud and happy he was over
It a. any other citizen would have been.
AS the time drew near for his inaugu-
ration however. visible shadow fell
Upon his spirits. He became nervous and
taciturn, and on the night before he was
70 be inaugurated he did not sleep He
did not even go to bed, but wandered
far into the country. walking and walk
ting and thinking and thinking
He could not become president OF the
republic. He reached that decision as
he wandered miserably about in the lone
ly night.
The next day he went to his good
friend the founder Of the republic. and

told him that he could not be president.
But why2" asked the man in surprise.
1T can't do IT," replied the boy, with a
groan. "oh. have abused your conf
dence and deceived you all am a thief"
he CRIED bursting into tears.
In an agony OF grief and remorse he
then told how he had been able in a po-
sition of trust that he had held to COM
init theft week by week without being
detected. He wanted to go to college
after he left the republic. and the OPP
portunity to take the money had been
too great for him to resist. So skilful
had he been in covering up his dishonesty
that 1t was probable that 1t never would
have been discovered had he not volun-
tarily confessed.
But I could not stand up there In the
hall before all my fellow-citizens and
have them believe me a good citizen when
/ was a thief" cried the boy. 1 could
not take the oath of office. I am going
to tell them just what I have done and
what I am, and l am going to take the
punishment, and I'll have to give up
college-you never will trust me again."
added the young fellow. with gulp.
That evening when all the citizens had
gathered In the hall to do him honor this
boy stood up, very pale and very miser-
able, and confessed his crime, not spar
ing himself in the least.
The story came from his heart and his
humiliation was complete. You see. I
cannot be your president" he concluded,
in a heart-brealking voice.
Now, arrest me-" he said, turning to
the officer whose duty 1t was to do So
But the oficer did not move.
'Order him to arrest me-" said the con-
fessed thief turning to his fellow-citizens.
NO" they cried. with a mighty shout,
mo, we will not" They. appreciated the
struggle that he had had and the innate
nobility that had made him give up every
thing in the very hour of his success and
they honored him more than they had
ever done. They recognized that he could
not be their president with that stain
upon his character. but they refused to
order his arrest
well, then, II you won't do II for me,
I shall have to place myself under ar
rest" said the culprit with grim smile,
as he walked away toward the Jail.
That boy served every day of the sem
tence that he insisted should be imposed
upon him In prison, and when he came out
he had the respect of every citizen They
were willing and eager to trust him to
the utmost. Once more he was elected to
the high Office that he had voluntarily re-
liquished, and this time he was inaugu-
rated. He is fulfilling the duties of this
Office to the satisfaction of everyone, and
next fall he will enter college
