Neither state or nation can afford to

"Such reserves would be q paying

story. 1t touches upon the interest in
the subject of the scientists and the
lumberman, of the geologist and the
farmer, the meteorological and the
fruit grower, the business man and
the engineer, and the steamship pilot
and the homeseeker. The President
transmits with his message a report
of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre-
pared in collaboration with the De-
partment of the Interior, upon the
forests, rivers and mountains of the
Southern Appalachian region, and up
on its agricultural situation as affect
ed by them, and says in part:

The Passing of a Miser.

The most miserable being on eartl
is the one who loves money, not fol
what it will buy, but for itself. 1t il
kind of human selfishness that dries
up all good impulses and makes the
individual not only a world hater
but an object of universal condem
nation.
Firman Dubell died at Burlington,
N. J. the other day. Why Providence
left the breath in him for SO years
unless it was that he should pose al
a terrible example to the rest OF
humanity, is a mystery.
He had money, lots of it, and he
schemed and groveled and gasped fol
more. He had fine home, but lived
in two rear rooms. He could not bear
to use his silverware and comforts that
constantly reminded him of the ex.
penditure of money.
His sister died. He refused to pay
for her burial. 1t mattered not tC
him where her body laid.
And he kept life in his body on a
diet of mush and molasses, bread and
cheese, with an occasional extrava-
gance in the shape of a bit of salt pork.
Finally he died. He had injured the
world for SO years by living in it. He
left behind him mortgages and notes,
gold hidden in dark corners, and the
total of his holdings was close to halt
million dollars.
And yet when he lay dying, and was
told that he must have nourishment,
he ordered eggs sent back to the store
because they cost four cents each.

Swedes Must Get Official Permit.

Notice has been sent to the Swed-
ish legislation at Washington that here
after all Swedes who marry in any for
eign country must get permission
from their diplomatic representative
if they wish their marriage to be leg
ally recognized in Sweden. The ac-
tion is due to the fact that Swedes
have been going to nearby countries,
where it is easy to get divorces, and
marrying again, sometimes under con-
ditions that would not be allowed in
Sweden. When Swede living in the
United States wishes to be married and
return to his native land. he must
apply for permission to the minister in
Washington, who, if everything is in
accordance with the laws of Sweden
will issue a certificate to that effect.
This certificate must be produced
when the couple returns to Sweden.
The Swedish council at New York has
been given the permission to issue these
marriage permits, owing to the large
number of Swedes in that city, and
he is the only person in the United
States with power, aside from the
minister. The large number of Swedes
in the northwest would seem to de-
mand that like authority be given
to consul in that locality, and this
may be brought about if sufficient
pressure is exerted.

The average girl nowadays has a
great deal more sense than her great
grandmother had at the same age. The
difference is apparent in many ways.
In the first place the girl of nowadays
knows that she knows. She doesn't
have to depend on anybody for general
information and advice. She gets her
knowlede from the general fund which
everybody is welcome to, first hand
ed. She chews it and digests it for her
self. This makes her peer of anybody
that comes along. She is human be.
ing much more than she is girl, and
a member of the community in which
she moves much more than she is al
ornamental feminine featherweight.
The words pretty and dainty
and "simpleminded" and modest
are not so necessary in correct des
cription as are sensible, ""honest, y
"kind' and "strong." 1t has takeI
the world about seven thousand years
to evolve the nowadays girl, but the
product is worth all the time. spent in
getting it.-Alden Times.
