ATE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM
Prisoner Stops Trial by Chewing and
Swallowing Forged Check.

Prisoner Stops Trial by Chewing anc
Swallowing a Forged Check.
The Kings county court was thrown
into disorder and dismay, says Seat
tie special to the st. Louis POst-Dis-
patch, when the prisoner at the bar
H. r. McTavish, ate all the evidence
In the case on trial. McTavish was
being tried on a charge Of forging a
SIS check. The check lay on the trial
table, marked exhibit A." McTavish
sat beside his counsel. who was en-
gagged in cross-examining a witness
for the prosecution.
The case was going against Nc
lavish when his eye fell on the check,
which was about to be introduced In
evidence. Like half-starved man
and with a look of hunger in his eye.
the prisoner pounced upon exhibit A"
and chewed it to pulp.
With soulful satisfaction he gulped
1t down. The prosecution was In con-
sternation, for it's main piece OF evi-
dence was gone, and demanded that
stomach pump be used forthwith.
While the lawyers argued pro and con.
the prisoner calmly picked his teeth
with a whitfield match, plainly the
master of the situation. The defense
argued that the ball Of paper in the
defendants stomach could in no wise
be construed as documentary evil
dence, and that dismissal was prop
er.
The case Of the state Of Washing
ton against H. r. McTavish is now in
statu quo pending the untangling OF
the legal question involved from the
defendants imprOmntu luncheon

FOLD GROWTH PINES

The disappearance of what is known as the old growth" pine of this country has saddened the heart of many a lover of our forests, and while these monarchs of the woods are not of the size and stature of the giant redwoods of California, they are none the less an interesting feature of our syIva. There ought to be some steps taken for the preservation of these old trees, which bear as important a relation to our forests of the East as do the big trees to California forestry.
 One of the few remaining traits in this country has just been explored by a party from Amherst, Mass, and is situated on Pisgah Mountain, just across the Connecticut River from Bel lows Falls, on the Hinsdale, N. H., side
 Several of these trees have attained the height of 150 feet, and their trunks are limbless from fifty to eighty feet from the ground. These primeval white pines are declared by scientists to be more than a thousand years old, and are still in healthy condition.
 If the State of New Hampshire can not secure this tract for a forest pre- serve, the government ought to do so. With trees of later growth, intelligent forestry can be conserved by refores- tration after intelligent cutting. In this case the destruction of the "old growth" pine would mean a distinct loss to the state. Such trees ought to be preserved, because their very antiq- uity entities them to respect.-Boston Transcript

THE VANISHING GIANT.
A Relic of Prehistoric England


 An interesting survival of prehistoric England is threatened with destruc- tion owing to neglect. This is the "Cerne Giant" a colossal human figure cut on the side of a lofty hill that over- looks the picturesque village of Cerne Abbas, eight miles north of Dorchester. It is several years since the furrows which outline the giants figure were scoured and refined with chalk. Grad ually the latter has been washed away by the winter rains, and it is now bare ly visible. Grass has so encroacheds on the channels that, seen from a dis tance, the details of the gigantic figure are hard to trace, though the uncouth human form is still recognizable. The rost of renovating the giant is estimat- sd at about SIP, but no one in the To- cality knows where the money is to come from.
 The "Old Man." as he Is styled by the natives of Cerne Abbas (the "Abbot's Cernef' of Hardy's Wessex novels), is built on truly heroic lines. He stands lS0 feet long, and his right hand grasps ! knotted club 121 feet long. The un- known artist had his own notions of lhe just proportions of the human frame, as will be seen from the follow ing further measurements: Length of body, v feet; legs, 80 feet; head. 22
