WIDELY KNOWN AS ANATOMIST

DR.. Edward Anthony Spitzka has recently
been elected professor of general anatomy at
Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. DR..
Spitzka's home is in New York, where he has
gained an enviable reputation as an anatomist.
1t is probable that he will now devote his entire
time to this, his favorite branch of science, as a
teacher and researcher DR.. Spitzka is a remark
ably young man to occupy the important position
to which he has been appointed. He was born
on June II, 1876, in New York city, and was
educated in the public schools and the college
of the City of New York. He was graduated from
the College of Physicians and Surgeons (Colum-
bia university in 1902, receiving the Fellowship
of Anatomy and the third Harsen clinical prize.
He was appointed demonstrator of anatomy in
the College of Physicians in 1904.

THE MAYOR LED IN PRAYER
Kansas Reformer Who Rose to the
Occasion When the Board Of
K Aldermen Met.

About the oldest mayor in this
try" said a man who travels, lis C. w.
Cupp, recently elected in Caldwell, Kan.
The people concluded they wanted q
reformer and Cupp got the job.
THE other city officers chosen at the
same election were aldermen. The peo-
pie did not think it necessary to select
reform aldermen. They thought IL they
chose a mayor of that type it would be
enough. There was no particular issue;
nobody hadS3een accused Of graft; the
town just thought it would like a re-
form mayor.
when Cupp qualified he called q
meeting Of the new board of aldermen
and they met with Cupp in the chair
and the little council chamber crowded.
Cupp took the gavel, swAtted the desk,
and then looked around.
"Cupp knew hat he was expected to
do something novel. He rose to the oc-
casion by saying in a clear voice:
LET us pray
"For a minute tho announcement
produced a startling effect. One alder
man stood. Another one near by whis-
pered to him:
"'Get on your knees. Don't you know
how to act when prayer is being Of
fered?'
Meanwhile Cupp was putting up q
petition to the Almighty to direct the
body in its deliberations. After the
auan there was another lul1. The
mayor finally asked If there was any
thing special before the body. The al
derman who had insisted upon a kneel-
ing posture spoke up:
"T move that the alderman from the
First ward sing some appropriate
hymn
"'The alderman Is out Of order said
the mayor.
Another member jumped up and
said:
"'This reform business has gone far
enough. l move that we get down to
brass tacks.'
"I move we adjourn said a third.

order said the mayor, and If the al
dermen are not yet ready to reform, !

Indians, or such of them at least as
nave any business ability. A good
many of the Indians trap during the
winter, but the trouble with the major
lty OF them is that they do not know
the value OF their catch and are likely
to sell a $22 otter pelt for 81 or SIS, and
$11 mink pelt for dollar, or perhaps
a pint of whiskey. The white man is
well aware of this fact, and some a.
gents make it their business during the
winter to do nothing but buy furs of
the Indians, selling them later at a
handsome margin of profit.
These agents usually travel from re-
servation to reservation by dog team
or snow shoes.
which daily leave their tiny tracks
in the snow on the outskirts of the
towns are worth 81 each for their pelts.
They were valueless three years ago,
and two years ago were worth 10 cents
each. For a time last winter the pelts
brought so cents each. The weasel
also belongs to the homologue of the
American sable together with the mar
ten, mink, fisher and otter. The Ameri
can sable really is the marten, accord
ing to some authorities. 1t is common
ly called the pine marten, and at first
glance the only distinguishing feature
between it and the mink is a spot OF
beautiful orange color on its throat
just under the chin.
A grizzly bear skin is worth $40, il
in the best condition, but of course
grizzly bears are unknown in the
Lake Region. Many black bears are
trapped and shot, however. by settlers
Indians and trappers.

TRAPPERS' PROSPEROUS TINES.
Furs Worth More Now Than For
Past I hirty Years.

The many trappers operating along
the northern boarder will reap a rich
harvest the present winter, meaning
many comforts, even luxuries, in the
log cabins of scores of sturdy settlers
in the wilds of the northern country,
who are mainly dependent upon their
traps during the cold months for a
livelihood.
The settlers and professionals in the
country directly tributary to the Great
Lakes look to mink, marten and otter
to make their trapping operations
profitable, and the pelts of these little
animals at present command higher
price than at any time during the past
thirty years, while there has been a
decided slump in the prices paid for
furs from the black, blue and silver
fox which bring only $50 each now,
where a year or two ago they were as
high as $500 apiece.
Last wi, ter $3.50 was considered a
good price for a mink -pelt, and it
wasn't more than a season or two back
that $3.50 was the highest paid for a
single pelt of this kind. Now choice
raw mink fur will bring S11, and mar
ten pelt from s1S to 500, where Sc or 81
was paid last winter. An otter skin Is
worth s22 just as it comes from the
trapper's hands, which is away above
any price paid for more than thirty
years. Quite few fisher are caught
through northern Minnesota and these
are worth from So to $40. Beaver are
very scarce in this state. They are
worth from 81 to SO each.
The higher prices paid for furs will
also prove a boon to the Minnesota

Common Sense Forestry.
What are we going to do?" asked
Dr. Hale in his deep voice. "We must
use both common sense and sentiment
IN deahng with the forest question.
II IS a very great question. The in
d1Vlduals interested in American for
estry, even though they be millionaires
or multi-millionaires, can not accom-.
plish anything definite and lasting un-
less the states and the general govern
ment can be awakened to the necessity
OF giving the cause large and substan-
tlal assistance which it merits. Com.
mon sense, in forestry, means that the
forestry question should be put upon
business basis. In order to make a
large, immediate profit forests are de-
stroyed; they should be cut with some
reference to the future; in other words
tney should be cropped. All the gov
ernments of Europe rely largely upon
their forest lands for revenue. A sim
liar condition should and could be

THE NATIONS FORESTS.
BRILLIANT ADDRESS At ANNUAL
CONVENTION AMERICAN FORs
ESTRY ASSOCIATION.

Secretary Wilson Sounds Warning
Note on Forest Destruction-Million
Acres Should Be Tree-planted-
Everett hale in Vigorous s eel.
Secretary Wilson has more than
once manifested deep interest in the
question of American Forestry. Mr..
Wilson has, in fact, for some years been
elected and reelected President of the
American Forestry Association, pow
erful organization, composed of public
pirited men throughout the country,
which has probably done more than
any other one influence to awaken
national interest in the enormous
destruction of the forests and the neces-
sity for their business-like management
and preservation, even to the reforest-
alton of denuded areas and the plant
ing of trees upon barren prairie lands.
That the movement in the United
States is coming to be considered an
important one is to some extent evil
denced by the increased recognition of
the subject by Congress, which is also
due largely to Secretary Wilson's en-
thusiasm. When Mr.. Wilson was ap-
pointed Secretary of Agriculture by
President Mckinley, his forestry di-
vision consisted of one forester, an
assistant forester and five clerks and

MADAME BERTHA KALICH

So far this is the story of Monna Wanna
Tor the American people are not ac-
customed to the mannerisms and act
ing of the Russian plays.
Madame Bertha Kalich is tall and
of the brunette type usual to the He
brew, with eyes that while most express
sive, can hardly be said to be winning.
She cannot be classed as beautiful
but her art has mimicry which is
sure to bring fame to her. Critics lay
great faith in her possibilities as an
actress. They believe that after thor
ough schooling on the American stage,
the requirements of which are far diff
ferent from those of the Russian, she
will become famous, for she comes of
a race which has achieved wonders.
And when we encounter marked talent
in the Hebrew race no one living can
predict how many rungs of the ladder of
fame may be traversed successfully. The
greatest actors. not only of the present
age but of the past, have been and
are Jews. Of the women we have from
Rachel to Bernhardt, and the men
range from Dawson to Edwin Booth,
while passing reflections may be given
to the ability of David Garrick, Mrs
Siddons and host of others in whose
veins were some drops of Oriental
blood.
Bertha Kalich's appearance in Chi.
cago was greeted with an outburst Of
enthusiasm which continued through
out the many weeks of her perform
ance there. Such a well-known critic as
w. H. Hubbard of the Chicago Tribune
in reviewing ''Monna Wanna" and its
leading actress, said, MADAME Kalich
is enrolled in the list of great artists.
She is now an actress of peculiar and
lncommonly attractive qualities and
gives every promise of becoming in a
few seasons one of the most notable
women on the American stage. Watch
ing her during the week has brought
conviction that she is the possessor
of remarkable talents and that these
talents are susceptible of a developing
and shaping which can but place her
high in the esteem Of a large class
of the best theatre-goers and add aD-
other great artist to the small list of
really gifted players that our stage
can boast. She has the power indis,
pensable to any artist who is to endure
and whose work is to be of any wide
reaching infuence-the power to at
tract the public.

With so much interest focused on
happenings in hLssla, it would be
strange indeed if we did not receive a
taste of Russian drama. The leading
cities of the country are now centering
their attention upon the Russian play
"Monna Wanna" the title role of which
is being essayed by Madame Bertha
kalich, a Polish actress who won fame
in the Yiddish theatres on the Bowery
in New York City.
Madame Kalich may not be considered
a beautiful woman but through the nat
uralness of her acting she touches every
spark of humanity that glows in the
human breast. Six years ago she did
not know a word of E. glish, vet her
mastery at the present time of one of
the most difficult of all speaking
tongues, is remarkable. Not only does

In an English speaking play was

performances were disappointing but

Congress for forestry of $50 900. Since
then forestry division has been advanc-
ed into separate bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, employing over
500 men and having an annual appro-
priation from Congress of upwards of
one-half million dollars. Fully a
million acres of forest lands in the
eastern part of the United States have
been turned over to the Bureau Of
Forestry for management on a practi-
cal and scientific basis which will en-
able the cutting of the forest for lum-
Der and at the same time insuring
succeeding "crops" of timber, while
over 100,000,00O of the acres of COVER
ment Forest reserves in the west have
also been turned over to the Bureau
of Forestry for administration. 1t is
probable that at least another $4,000,
900 acres of public timber land will be
placed in federal reserves.
Secretary Wilson in his opening ad-
dress at the recent annual meeting Of
the American Forestry Association in
Washington, uttered clear note of
warning against the wholesale reduc-
tion of the woodland area in the
country.
mo nation on earth is as successful
in the work of destroying its forests as
the United States" he declared. 'The
indiscriminate mutilation of the forests
must be stopped; the matter has be-
come one of national interest which
can not much longer be ignored by the
people or by our legislators.
After advocating the broadest kind
of protective forest policy, he touched
on the subject of reforesting certain
sections. He thought that every day
should be an arbor day, that every year
should mark notable advance in the
effort to recover lost ground.
Plant "A E.iuion Acres.
"We should plant" he said, mot 10,
coo acres nor stop at 100000 acres,
but should plant 100000 acres in
trees, and this would be, viewed from
several points, the very best investment
which the United States ever made. 1t
would be paying, money investment
TO the government, and it would be a
tremendous help to our agriculture.
The price of merchantable timber is in.
creasing with great rapidity, while
every one knows the very beneficial
effect that has resulted from the plant
ing of wind-breaks in the prairie
states"
Another address before the Associa.
tion by the venerable Edward Everett
Hale, now the Chaplain of t., United
States Senate, constituted clean-cut
statement of the great necessity of
prompt action to protect the forests.
DR.. Hale is around eighty years OIL age;
he remembers when the saw and the AK
had scarce touched the giant monarchs
in Ohio Valley, when the forests of
northern Michigan and Minnesota were
unbroken wildernesses, and when those
of the far northwest, in that marvellous
country "where rolls the Oregon" were
terra incognitG. He has seen whole
states denuded of their valuable timber
and burned over by devastating fires
