 There is much speculation over the appearance of an alleged wild man who was recently seen by Plainville folks who were hunting for walnuts near the Pinnacle mountain about two miles west of Plainville The nut hunters, who were under a tree, were greatly surprised by the sudden ap- pearance of a man almost naked, as his clothing consisted of a pair of pol ished leather boots, with women's drop stitched stockings and a fatigue hat. A gray beard added much to the unique makeup. The man took no no- tice of their astonishment, and after in- quiring the way to the nearest town, expressed the opinion that it was some what early for nutting parties and started towards the Pennington road.

Wanted His Gun.

St Louis, it seems, mas as much
trouble convicting its criminals of the
Pinky Blitz character as Kansas City
has. A Kansas City lawyer, while in
that city the other day, dropped in
on a friend who is judge and found
MIN holding court. A young man
whom everybody knew was criminal
was being tried for alleged completely
in the holdup of a Dutch groceryman
In the robbery the Dutchman had
grappled with one of the two robbers
and had wrested his gun from MIN.
The robbers escaped, but the store
keeper retained the revolver, and it
was offered in evidence at the trial.
The prisoner managed to fake up"
a strong alibi and, although the
Dutchman ositively identified him
as the smaller of the robbers, he was
acquitted When the jury had deliV-
cred It's verdict the young man ap-
preached the bench and said: Judge,
can l have my gun now?" Whats
that?" said the Judge sternly The
young man realized his mistake and
ran out of the court room. The jury
was mad Cant We get him back
here and convict hIm?" asked the
foreman. No." replied the Judge,
he's been acquitted, but l hope he
robs the home of every one of you" =

German Forests.

Nearly one-fourth OF the surface Of
the entire German empire is covered
with forests, about $4,000 square
miles, more than one.sixth (5S,O0O
square miles, being occupied by what
the Germans call "nochwald;" that IS,
forests OF fulI-grown trees.
The area occupied by trees of the
pine family is more than three times
as great as that occupied by all the
varities Of deciduous trees combined.
OF the 5,658,O00 acres Of deciduous
trees 1,172,O0O acres are oak, $4,000
acres are birch, alder and aspen and
4019,00 acres are beech etc. or the

are Iaroh, 5,482, 900 acres are red fir,
and G57, 900 acres are white fir.
About 215 per cent Of the "hoch-
valid" is owned by the crown, nearly
40 per ccent. by the State, Is per cent.
by municipal governments, and about
40 per cent by private persons.
The entire area devoted to forests
is to-day nearly 100000 acres greater

Mrs Pinkham claims that there is a
kind Of dyspepsia that Is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary Indigestion,
cannot be relieved without a medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also
As proof Of this theory we call att
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, n. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed She writes;
" For two years j suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend TO my daily duties.

The joy of Work.

1t is better to lose health like a
spendthrift than to waste it like a
miser. 1t is better to live and be
done with it than to die daily in the
sick room. BY all means, begin your
folio; even if the doctor does not give
you year, even if he hesitates about
a month, make one brave push and
see what can be accomplished in a
week. 1t is not only in finished I'M
dertakings that we ought to honor
useful labor. A spirit goes out Of the
man VINO means execution which out
lives the most untimely ending, All
who have meant good work with their
whole hearts have done good work,
although they may die before they
have time to sign it: Every heart that
has beat strong and cheerfully has
left hopeful impulse behind 1t in
the world, and bettered the traditions
Of anl1ind.-Robert Louis Stevenson.
