service makes the following state

In the main the reserves in
southern Idaho were created to

IDAHO FOREST
RESERVE FACTS
Recent Creations Nearly
Double the Acreage
Government S Side
of Proposition.

A Washington correspondent
writes under recent date:
Prior to the recent election the
forest reserve area i'm Idaho was
over 10, 900, 900 acres; today it ex-
cceds 1 8, 900, 600
For long time the forest service
has contemplated the extension of
forest reserves in Idaho with a
view to protection not only of the
remaining public forests but of the
water supply of the state, that is
daily becoming more valuable as
the work of irrigation expands
These reserves were not created
hastily, but after exhaustive study
They embraced lands that are more
valuable for forestry than other pur-
poses, and wherever agricultural
lands have been included such areas
still remain subject to settlement
and entry under the terms of a
law passed at the last session of
congress-. 1t is To be further under
stood that the natural resources of
each and all of the idaho reserves
are still open to the public, but
their use and development will be
safcg uardcd in manner that will
preserve the forest cover and protect
the water supply. The mature
timber in all reserves can be cut
and removed under regulations !;
prospecting and mining will not be
intcrfered with in the least, and
stock grazing will be permitted so
long as the pubic range is not
damaged
In one sense the most import ant
reserve created As the Occur
d Alene, which crssa,e<iies what was
to have been designated the Sho-
shonc reserve in -Shoshone county.
The creation of this reserve is es-
pecial1y interesting because it is
The one that was most vigorously
fought by Senator Hepburn. Its
creation IS doub4y significant be-
cause President Roosevelt, before
signing the Occur d'Alene procia-
nation, went over all the facts per-
tanning to the Shostaonc withdrawal I;
gave personal consideration to Sem
ator Heyburn's objection. and then
decided against the senator. The
creation of this reserve, more than
anything else that has TRANSFERRED,
indicates that the president will
give no heed to the protest of
Senator Hepburn While the pres
1dcnt sanctioned and actually Gre
atcd all the other reserves in Idaho,
ne was less familiar with them, but
in each instance he accepted the
Judgment of the forest service

service policy and he believes that

OLD REPORTER WAS HARDENED
Probably Not His First Attendance
at an Execution.

Sir Wemyss Reid wrote as follows
of one of his early experiences as
reporter: "On the first occasion OF
witnessing an execution, as stood
trembling at the foot of the scaffold
on witch the victim was about to ap-
pear, noticed an old reporter, for
whom l entertained great personal
respect. pacing up and down beside
me. reading the new testament.
In the passion of horror and pity
that filled my young heart con.
cluded that my friend was seeking
spiritual comfort in view of the event
in which we were about to take part
as spectators and recorders. | said
something to him about the horror
of the act we were shortly to witness.
He looked up with a placid smile
from his reading and said gently
for he was essentially a gentleman:
Yes, very sad. very sad; but let us
be thankful it isn't raining. And
then he calmly returned to his daily
reading of the Word"

Beware of Purse Carrier.

Some girls are captious when it
comes to judging the fiances. A GER
tain belle has broken her engagement
because her future lord carried his
money in a purse. He had the habit
of taking out that small contrivance
for silver and lingering it when he
was talking to his loved one, and the
habit annoyed her so much she de-
cided she could not be happy with
such a man. She enlightened her
friends with the statement of her be-
lief that no frank, good-hearted man
could carry his money in purse.
That was a true sign of a sordid ma
ture, said she; any man who did such
a thing would be sure to dole out
spending money to his wife in dimes
yea, even nickels.

Clerks Reminder.

Some years ago, in the days when
the psalms were read in the church
of England, a service was being held
in a country parish in South Devon.
The parish clerk was slightly deaf.
From the reading desk the rector
could see into an orchard adjoining
the churchyard. He had come to the
end of one of the psalms, when, in
stead of saying. GLORY be to the Fa-
ther," etc, he spoke as follows:
Farmer Thompson, think it is only
right to let you know that there are
boys in your orchard stealing the ap-
pies"
Wherupon the clerk: "As it was in
the beginning, so it will be evermore,
world without end. Amen."-London

Apple Tea as a eeautifier.

New among beautifers as a substi-
tute for the morning coffee is apple
tea. Although name, appearance and
make suggest the southern apple tod
dy, the beauty destroying ingredient
of the toddy is left out and the con
coction is made by soaking small
grains of apple over night and then
letting it boil five minutes, when it is
ready to be taken. Although it is not
pretty drink, as the apple turns to
a brownisE black mass, good flavor
is claimed for it, said to be equal to

Sometimes mans brain plays him
queer tricks. as it gives some uncon-

hen straightway resumes its normal
functions. leaving its owner greatly
embarrassed.
The case in point is that of rather
singular man who through lonely
life became misanthropic and who
often. lacking other company, would
talk to himself. At all times he seemed
preoccupied, and. though possessed
of a well-stored mind, he seldom
sought the society of others.

before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been great cof-

decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records of the specialists of this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one is that the

her doll, and called me to see it. AS

said. Papa. hain't God good? He's

"Motherinq Sunday"

The fourth Sunday in Lent, which
is also known as "Simnel Sunday" is
called "Mothering Sunday" as well. In
many of the country districts of Eng
land the young people who are in ser

visit their parents on this day, and
the afternoon services are largely at
tended by girls and their mothers.

in Monmouthshire and there is much
to be said in favor of 1t.
