the Indians present seemed to get the
idea that it WAS all Il plot to kill their
leader in some highly civilized way.
Their behavior became such that Mr..
Palmer feared for Il time that he
would be scuipcd.
The process OF taking a life mask is
necessarily Il delicate one. for if an
accident should happen during the op-
GRAFTON of encasing the face of IL great
man in plaster the injury to the sub
ject might be serious or even fatal.
In making Il cast from life the face
Of the living subject is smeared with
oil while the person reclines in a seat
constructed like a BARRIERS chair. The
plaster is then poured over the face,
quilts being inserted in the nostrils for
breathing. 1t takes but a few minutes
for the plaster to set. and when it is
removed from the face a mold has
been formed from which the cast can
be made by pouring in plaster and re-
versing the previous process.

III has directed public at
- tention to the question
involved in the establishment of forest
preserves and the exclusion of the
general public from them. Mr.. Rookie
Teller and other rich men who have
bought up mountain lands and convert
ed them into private parks are bitterly
hated by the natives Of the section,
who consider that their rights have
been infringed upon by the million
aires. This feeling resulted in the as
sassination Of Orlando L. Dexter, the
owner of one OF these large estates,
Gus sensations of the summer of 1908.
Mr.. Rockefeller's preserve embraces
about 100000 acres of the widest part
Of the Adirondack section near Bay
Pond and Pau! Smiths and about
eighteen miles from the Dexter prop
erty. Soon after the Dexter tragedy
Henry Dexter, father OF the murdered
man, received 4 newspaper uppln
containing an account Of the assassi-
nation. and on it was written:
Good job. well Gone. \ few more
like it will be the best thing this coun-
try could have lappea to it. Mr.. Rock

more such. and this country will be rid
OF the most dangerous element"
Mr.. Dexter notified Mr.. Rockefeller
Of the threat against him contained In
this communication, and the latter pro-
cecdcl to surround his estate with
guards and detectives. Whenever since
that time he has attempted to enjoy
the scclusion Of his forest retreat his
family have been il constant anxiety
lest attempts upon his life should be
made. This season the life Of the multi
millionaire has been boldly threatened
