An Unaffected Girl.

Since she has been a pupil at the Ma
tional Cathedral School, Ethel Roosevelt
has won a number of friends among the
girls by her naturalness and the EVIL
dent absence from her mind of the con
sciousness that her father is President of
the United States. She has always had
ner mother out to little entertainn tents
in the school, and freely introduces the

years Of popular young girl and needs
another TO take her place.
She is a type of the life-lC Ting Ameri-
can girl She rides, drives. skates, and
tramps as well as any OF the boys in
the family, and has always been taken
into their sports with the good fellow
ship her personality has demanded.
When the Presidents family first came
TO the White House Ethel was a little
girl, but in the past two years, par
ticularly, she has grown tall and even
now mas attained almost Miss Alice s
height. Mrs. Roosevelt aGi1fts very
simple girlish styles for Ethel and even
at afternoon entertainments at the
White House she is dressed in a plain
white frock with a big ribbon bow tying
her hair at the neck. Usually she wears
another bow across the top of her hair
a fashion prevalent among the younger
girls.

StepmOther Loved Her.

When Alice was three years old Theo-
dore Roosevelt married Miss Edith Ker-
nit CarOw. who very soon learned to
love as her own child the m0theriess
little one. The tender sympathy existing
between Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Cowies
has a natural explanation, therefore,
for both have the same deep affection
for the girl who became a bride to-
day Miss Alice's girlhood was spent
IN New York and Boston, and was not
unlike the schoolgirl and academic wears
of the ordinary child of wealth. The AS
tor and Vanderbilt children were her
associates. and as she inherited a COM
Portable fortune from her mother and
had prospects of a great deal more
from other relatives, her position was
assured. even had her father never
become President and the idol of the
American people.

will mean q renewal after this year
of the bitter warfare which charac-
terized circus conduct until the late

CUT EXPENSES 500. 600. 900.
All Railroads Of the Country Make
Plans For Decrease in Expendi-
lures During Coming Year.

A Chicago dispatch states that
the railroads of the entire country
have decided to inaugurate an era OF
rigid economy, according to the
Record Herald. The plans decided
on will result in q decrease OF expen
ditures during the next twelve
months OF between $50, 100000 and
1920. .OOO, 900 as compared with the
year just closing. The railroad
presidents declare that they have
been forced into the adoption of this
policy 10 self defense. 1t is stated
that among the roads having head
quarters in Chicago the decrease in
expenditures will be 500, 900, 600.
The expenditures referred to are
what are known among railroad
men as extra, and are for exten-
sion OF lines, the building OF spurs,
side-tracks, new engine houses and
and the betterment of roadbeds and
tracks.
The reasons assigned for this move
in economy are the increased de-
mands of labor, which will cost the
railroads between $50, 900, 600 and
500, 900, 900 in excess of the wages
paid out last year; the increased
cost OF supplies and material, the
scarcity of labor, making it almost
impossible to secure men for the ex-
tension of old lines and the construc-
tion of new, inability to get supplies
promptly, the general downward
tendency in freight rates, the un-
certainty regarding the effect Of the
rules OF the interstate commerce
commission, the increasing difficulty
in securing money to invest in rail-
road ventures and with which to
carry on improvements,a and the con-
tinued public agitation which is
alleged to be hostile to corporations
and railroads especially.

Fire Wardens Recent Report Is Very
Conservative.-Some Of Upper
Peninsula Counties Were
Hard Hit.

According to the annual report OF
State Fire Warden II. H. .Ryerse,
OF Allenyille, Mackinac county. for
est fires in Michigan during the past
season destroyed timber and other
property Of the estimated value OF
$3.50, 482. There were 1863 separate
and distinct fires of which report
was made to him, and 48 OF
these occurred in Marquette county,
the greatest number in any county
in the state. Mackipac had 80,
Enmet 81, Menominee 26. On tonagon
24,Schoolcraft % and Sheboygan 10.
There was expended by the depart.
ment in fighting fires, the sum OF
81, 800, and in addition $687 was ex-
pended in posting notices. The
greatest havoc was done in Luce
county, where there were nine forest
fires which caused loss Of $101 $50.
The value of property destroyed in
Presque Isle county, where IL fires
occurred was $75, 5,575; in Menominee
$69. 200; in Delta, with Is fires $780,
GAO; in Dickinson, with four fires,
$50, 900; in Marquette, $42, ,075; in
Mackinac, s19. 1865; Emmet, $l2.275,
and in Ontonagon, $40. The re-
mainder Of the loss, $l9,477, was
sustained in Antrim, Alger, Altoona.
Alpena, Bara2a, Benzie, Cbarlevoix,
Cheboygan, Chippewa, Gogebic,
Iosco, Iron, Kalkasks, Keweensw,
Leelanaw, Oscoda, Ogemaw, Ros-
common, Otsego, Manistee, Nissan
kee, Montmorency and Wexford
counties.
A scrutiny of the estimated losses
leads to the conclusion that the re-
turns made to the state warden have
been very conservative. The value
Of the property wiped out in Chip
pewa county is given as $2.805,
when in the Trout Lake district
alone forest fires ragged for several
weeks at a stretch and on more than
one occasion threatened small towns
and settlements. No losses are re.
corded for Houghton county. which
had a number OF destructive fires
during the summer, and the damage
in Iron county, given as 81 ,525, p
pears much too low. The same may
be said OF the destruction in Alger,
recorded at only $3.50, when con-
siderably greater loss is said to have
been occasioned by one fire alone
this in the vicinity Of Grand Marais.
The estimate OF Gogebic-$300-
likewise appears very conservative,
and the loss of but 81, ,410 in School
craft is certainly not too high.

BOTH SENATOR'S
FOR J. J. DONOVAN
Also Land Department Fovors His Ap.
pointment as Register. Incident
Considered Closed.

According to information received
Thursday, says the Marquette Min.
ing Journal, the appointment ol
James J. Donovan. as register oi
the Marquette land Office, is as near
ly an accomplished fact as an ap-
pointment can be bef IRE it is signed,
sealed and delivered. Word was
received from Washington u at both
senators. Alger and Burrows, and
the land department bad filed their
approval of the appointment. AS
the patronage is controlled by the
senators, the incident may be con-
sidered closed, and Mr.. Donovan
will have his commission within u
few weeks, at the most.
Mr.. Scadden believes the matter
will be brought to head immedi-
ately after President Roosevelt S re-
turn TO Washington from his pres
ent trip. The appointment will
have to be confirmed by the senate,
which action in this case will be a
mere for mality, but as congress con-
venes the first week in December
the senate will be in session by the
time the preliminaries can be at
tended to. Mr.. Scadden believes
that the matter will be wound up by
the first Of the year. and that be
will be able to leave for the west, to
assume the management of opera
tions at the Kimberly mines.s soon
after Jan. 1st.
Mr.. Donovan friends will be
gratified with the news that he has
the appointment "cinched. !" As
recently stated he is thoroughly
qualified by his long experience and
natural ability to discharge the
duties of the Office in a manner a.
ceptable to the department. In fact
for many years past he has looked
after much OF the important wo' k.
He has been Mr. Scadden s rign
hand man for the ten years Mr.,
Scadden has held the Office, and
served under previous registers.

but it is believed that there were
other aspirants. 1t is known that
one or two men contemplated the
idea OF going after it, but later gave
it up.
The reyistership is an important
aud lucrative post, although it is
declining in both Importance and
lucrativeness with the decline in
in the public domain. OF late years
there has been very active taking
over of the government land, and
the acreage OF the public domain is

GRAFT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED.
Examinations Show SHORTAGES and
Misuse Of Funds BY Thirty.five
Boards.

A special from Lansing says: The
department OF public instruction has
invoked for the peoples benefit the
enactment OF 1905, giving it authori-
ty to scrutinize accounts and re-
cords OF school districts. In thirty
1--WE cases coming to it's attention.
books have been examined and
either shortage or a misuse OF pub
lie funds had been found.
1t was found that two districts in
Clinton county had used primary
money for other purposes than for
teachers wages which the law stip-
ulates. In those districts a tax to
meet the deficiency in the teachers
fund was required. In Otsego a de.
falcation Of $500 was discovered, and
this was made good. In a number
of cases treasurers had loaned the
public funds and pocketed the in
terest. The department will con-
tinue the Investigations and assist
the school officers in Strengthening
out their accounts.
The investigation into the matter
OF bonds was very fruitful, as in
l,5OO districts treasurcrs had given
no bonds whatever, and in 1000
more the bonds were either valueless
or insufficient. Thus it was found
that treasurers in only about 100
of the 1900 districts we're comply
ing with the law.
The department has taken
strong stand against the frittering
away OF public funds.

Travel. Of Winged Seeds.

Most persons probably think that
winged seeds from trees travel to
great distances on the wind. But the
studies of DR.. Ridley, Of the botanic
gardens, at Singapore, indicate that
winged seeds have far narrower
range of fight than do powder" seeds
and plumed seeds. The greatest dis
tance travelled by the winged fruit Of
q forest tree, observed by DR.. Ridley,
was 100 yards. Under the most favor
able circumstances, he calculated, 1t
would take this plant 100 years to
spread 300 yards. 100000 years to
spread from the Malay peninsula to
