ring at the front door bell. He opened
the door. A canvasser stood outside.

YnIue of pecared Forests.

The decayed vegetation OF rorests
has furnished to the fields their present
fertility, upon which nan depends for
food. In the tree growth Of virgin
woods and in tho floor OF rotted foliage
beneath are stored the Accommodations
of centuries. Nature does not care
whether this growth Is useful to the
human race or not. II Is left for us to
encourage the growth OF such trees as
we find valuable to the exclusion Of
others. Thus an economical use Is made
Of the resources at hand, and a new
conception Of the forest arises. The
forest primeyal becomes woodlands
while the new forest" includes only
cultivated woods.

Col. F. H. Durham. formerly member
of the legislature from Lincoln county
was in Topeka Saturday to present to
the state school fund commissioners a
proposition that they purchase S34, 500
worth of Lincoln WaterW0rkS and cleo
trio light plant bonds. The city of Lin
coin will offer the bonds at per cent.
Mr.. Durham thinks that il the school
fund commissioners buy HoIton bonds
at per cent, Wichita bonds at per
cent, and numerous other similar bonds
at 4 per cent, they should also be will
ing to buy Lincoln bonds at the same
rate.
1.-THE population of Lincoln said Mr..
Durham, lis 100, and we have no
bonded debt. We have money in the
treasury. Our assessed valuation is
s240, 900, which is about Is per cent of
the real value. We had bad fire there
not long ago, and that is what started
the agitation for WaterWorks. Up to this
time, Lincoln has been a 'wind-milP
town, but the trouble is that just when
we want water most, the windmiIls
won't run"
Speaking of the political situation in
the OIAlH district MI. Dunhan SAID.
Lincoln county has no candidate for
state offices. But I see that the Sixth
district is stirring up quite a repFesen-
tatiOn. It looks to me as though Reeder
would get the nomination for congress.
There are a number of people anxious
to get into the race, but they can't get
together If it becomes a general scram-
Bile, they would rather see Reader win
than to throw their support to one of
the others"
Mr.. Durham was unable to transact
his business with the school fund COM
msisioners, because none of them were
in town.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Dec. 30.-Mrs.
Stella Brennan of this city was con-
victed today of the murder of her
14-year-oId stepdaughter, Elizabeth
Brennan. She will be sentenced next
Tuesday morning to serve a life term
in the penitentiary. With the nerve
that enabled her to murder three inno-
cent children while they slept, to shoot
a fourth through the face and then to
infiict an ugly wound upon herself still
mistaken, Mrs. Brennan walked into
court when the jury came in. Her
long black veil was over her face but
she seemed the least excited person
in the crowded room.
When the clerk read the verdict
Mrs. Brennan raised her veil and not
a. muscle of her face changed Not
until the jury was polled did the con-
vfcted 4nurderess show a sign of suf-
fering. Then the tears that had been
gathering in her eyes brimmed over.
Two years and a half ago the Bren-
mans were married in Chicago. me
woman was then dentists attendant;
E3,.sl19,a55 was a carpenter. They had
lived in Minneapolis eight months.

What Gave Him His Bearings.

He was d big, black, good-hearted,
old negro, stranded near Boston, and he
had decided, after considerable .'cogita-
tOn,' to work his way back to the south,
where he would feel more at home. In
Boston, in Springfield, in Hartford, in
New Haven, it was always the same.
When he rang a bell and asked for work
and a bite to eat the answer usually was,
I'm very sorry, but there's not a thing
to be done here today" There were Oc-
casionaI exceptions, of course, or uncle
could never have got on. but the thing
most to be counted upon was pleasin.s
politeness coupled with nothing else.
At last the old man left New York
and then Philadelphia behind, and one
day found himself in Baltimore. His
knowledge of geography was nil, but
he thought ne ought soon to be getting
into de Souf,' and with that hope at
heart rang the bell to a fine house on
Charles street. The door was opened
by the host himself, who, after an in
stant's survey Of the figure before him.
blurted out:
"Why, yo - black rascal How
