Too Much For Human Belief

He was much pleased with the place,
but was quite bored by his host, who
would eulogize everything that was
brought to the table. TRY some of
this" he would say, at is some of my
own raising" or this is some of our
own milk. and that lettuce is from
the cold-frame you saw" or "these peas
are from vines I planted just four
weeks ago today" All of this was
endured quite patiently until the host
remarked, Now try some of this
chicken, I raised it myself"
mo, no, | can never believe that"
said the visitor. You've only been
here a little over two years"

Chile Con Carne.

What is chile con carne? Every citi-
zen of the Southwest knows it well,
but perhaps there are residents of the
Northern belt of the country who are
probably quite unfamiliar with this
toothsome dish, yet one which should
be especially acceptable to the people
of the northland.
Chile con carne, Spanish term,
translated literally means chile-red
peppers with meat. Properly pre-
pared, it is stimulating, warming and
extremely grateful to n cold and hun
CRY stomach. From one of our Next
can ambassadors comes the following
method for preparation--a recipe direct
from a famous cook in the capital of
our sister republic TO the South
Cover two pounds of tender beef
with water and push the kettle back
on the stove where it will barely SIM
mer, until the meat is in shreds. Then
add six large, red, sweet peppers,
seeded and cut into long narrow strips,
large onion, minced, tiny pod OF

Everything Ready.

Uncle John, whose death was hourly
expected, was asked by his weeping
wife if he couldn't take little nourish-
ment. He shifted the air and said:
Mary, don't I smell ham cooking? |
think I could enjoy a few Slices" ooh,
no, john" she answered, that you
know is for the funeral"

IRVING AND BOOTH.
Great Actors Who Sought to Elevate
the Drama.

England's tribute to Henry Irving
was worthy of his great powers and
lis great performances. 1t was re-
called, too, with appropriate Feelings,
that he had made great sacrifices for
his high ideals. He spent large sums
an effort to keep his London thea
ter up to a lofty standard, but the
times would not sustain him, and in
his old age he was forced to take to

which can not be obtained from any

He prospered, of course, but never, as
his friends believed, recovered from
this blow to his professional hopes.
The subject is much discussed, and
some interesting things are said on
either side. But, however the public

Vast Waste OF Farm Soil.
The soil, once denuded of it's for

The soil, once denuded of its for
ests and swept by torrential rains,
rapidly loses first its humus, then its
rich upper strata, and finally is wash
ed in enormous volume into the
sstr@ps, to bury such of the fertile
AowMnds as are not eroded by the
floods, to obstruct the rivers, and to
fill up the harbors on the coast. More
good soil is now washed from these
cleared mountain-side fields during a
single heavy rain than during centu-
ries under forest cover.
The rivers which originate in the
Southern Appalachian flow into or
along the edges of every State from
Ohio TO the Gulf and from the Attain
tic TO the Mississippi. Along their
courses are agricultural, power
and navigation interests whose preser-
walton is absolutely essential to the
well-being Of the nation. The regula-
ton of the flow of these rivers can be
accomplished only by the conserya-
ton of the forests.
These are the heaviest and most
beautiful hardwood forests of the

We are Losing Millions of Dollars
Annually.

The foods in these mountain-born
streams, if this forest destruction
continues, will increase in frequency
and violence, and in the extent of their
damages, both within this region and
across the bordering States. The ex-
tent of these damages, like those from
the washing of the mountain fields
and roads, can not be estimated with
perfect accuracy, but during the pres
ent year alone the total has approx
mated S10,000,000, sum sufficient to
purchase the entire area recommended
for the proposed reserve during the
past year the flood loss was probably
twenty million dollars. But this loss
can not be estimated In money value
alone. Its continuance means the
early destruction of conditions most
valuable to the nation, and which nei-
Their skill nor wealth can restore.
The preservation of the forests, of
the streams, and OF the agricultural
interests here described can be sue
cessfully accomplished only by the
purchase and creation of National
Forest Reserve. The States of the
Southern Appalachian region own lit
tie a. no land, and their revenues are
inadequate to carry out this plan.
