INVESTIGATE ORIGIN OF FOREST FIRES
State Fire Warden Andrews on Irail
" Of those VINO Set Them. =. >


Gen: G. c. Andrews, state fire war
den, has had men on the range dur
ing the past: week Investigating the
origin of recent forest fires in adj
joining sections, with the intention
of Immediately commencing action
against any person whom evidence
would tend to show as responsible.
Proceedings will also be insti-
tuted against any party who in fu:-
ture may start a brush fire and per-
mits it to get beyond control.
The importance of this move and
its value to citizens and land own
ers of the range will be readily seen,
as thousands of dollars worth of
timber is annually destroyed in this
manner and the home of the settler
is often endangered.
Evidence has been secured point
ing to the guilt of several different
parties whose arrest will likely be
made in the near future, and if their
guilt is established the offenders
will be punished to the full extent
of the law.

Blamed ON PceIS-a-Boo.

while clergymen and folk in tho

has the courage to wear waist not

the New York Press, "the thing that

ticles two days after they were re-

She Tells Character by Hats,

With jarring disregard for propri-
ETY. of word formation, Lenox So
journers have bestowed the name
"hatology" on the newest amusement
to which they have resorted to drive
away dullness. One must scrutinize
carefully the hats of all ones dear
friends, and from those headpieces
read the characters of the wearers.
A woman who says she is an author
ity on this new practice says: "The
woman of the Alpine hat is likely to
be of suspicious mind. She talks
sharply to the conductor and ticket
agent. But it isn't her fault. No
woman with an Alpine hat can help
it, That hat Is what you might call
the last straw on the pile of ugly
shapes, and the worst of an unbe-
coming hat is that you never can tell
what its wearer will do. The picture
hat bespeaks the philanderer. The
toque, when not too severe, indicates
a leaven of humor and of common
sense. Hats loaded with flowers
show extravaganza. - New York

Uncle Sans Road Work.

Probably no field of work is of
greater interest to the public at large
than the Improvement of the high.
ways. The Office of Public Roads, as
now constituted, writes a correspond
ent from Washington, D. c., repre-
sents distinct stage in the develop
ment of the work undertaken by the
Federal Government in 1898 by the
establishment of the Office of Road
Inquiry. At the time of the estab-
lishment of the office, the lack of a
knowledge of existing conditions was
a serious hindrance to an intelligent
application of any plan for road i'm.
provement. The name originally
chosen for the Office was suggestive
of the purpose of Congress, which
was to inquire into system of road
management throughout the United
States, and into methods of road
making, and to disseminate informa.
tion as to the results of such inquir.
les.
In recent report on the subject
the Secretary OF Agriculture said the
most important result which has
been attained up to this time, wheth-
er produced by influence in or out
side of the Office of Public Road In
quiries is that the people in all parts
of the country are now interested in
the subject of road Improvement,
and are seeking such information as
Will enable them to carry on the
work along intelligent lines. 1t was
found. therefore, that the collection
of information must of necessity be-
come only one feature of the work
of the Office. and that facilities must
be provided for answering as well as
awakening inquiries. At the same
time the necessity for demonstrating
scientific and economical methods of
road construction instead of mere
agitation has been clearly estab-
lished
While 1t is known in a general way
that some parts of the country have
progressed much further than others
in the matter of road improvement,
there is little available information
regarding what has been accomplished
in the various States and counties.
If comprehensive statistics were
available it would be shown that
large sums of money are annually
wasted in some sections, while in
others surprisingly satisfactory re-
suits are obtained at a moderate
cost. The Office is now collecting in
formation from every county in the
United States in regard to the mile
age of improved and unimproved
roads, the amount of cash tax, bonds
Issued, and other information of a
/ similar nature. No more telling ar
| gument for reform in wasteful meth.
DDS can be adduced than to bring
home to every county just what re
suits they are obtaining as compared
with the results obtained by othei
counties at similar cost.-The Au
tomobile.

The Split Log Road Drag.

Ten years ago a Missouri farmer
who had grown tired of wading
through slough of despond" every
spring when the roads were soft and
who had seen his neighbors lose time,
money and patience wnen their wag-
ons were hub deep in the mire or
their horses tugging and straining in
their harness to get half load to
market, decided that there must be
some remedy for this condition. One
day, in thinking it over, he made the
astonishing discovery that what
made the roads muddy was mud, and
IL the road was worked into such
a shape that the water would drain
on instead of soaking into the
ground after every rain the roads
would cease to be muddy.
BY means of three inches of fence
board he rugged up a home made
contrivance out OF an old wooden
pump stock that the frost had
spoiled and an oak post. He nailed
these together so that they were held
parallel to each other Then he made
a rough plank platform on which to
stand, and by means of wire hitched
his team to this clumsy affair at such
a point that it would drag along over
the road with a slant of about forty
five degrees.
He began with the road that ran
in front of his own farm When it
was at its worst he drove up and
down, from his own front gate to
that of his nearest neighbor. Like
huge mason's trowel smoothing off
mortar it scraped along, cutting
down the inequalities and rough
places and filling up the wagon ruts.
He kept at it, and after a number of
draggings, in place of the fiat basin
that had served as water course for
every storm to settle in he had built
up road with a crown and surface
that was smooth enough to shed
water like ducks back" In short,
he simply demonstrated the sound
ness of his major premise, IF | can
get rid of the mud the roads will
cease to be muddy" The device he
made he called a split log road
drag. "-Claud H. Miller, in Farming.

Her Horrid Neighbor.

'I don't like our neighbor across

bride in a West Side apartment
house
whats the matter with herr"
asked her husband.
She's SO queer. Yesterday l was
expecting DR.. Blank and his wife to
call and l had to go out for a few
minutes. l asked Mrs Neighbor If
she would keep the key to our apart
ment and l would pin a note on our
door telling DR.. Blank where to find
it, so they could get it and wait for
me. She said she would, but that
| would better describe the doctor, so
she would not admit any burglars
who might read the note.
II told her she would be sure to
know DR.. Blank, because he was a
dentist and an awfully nice man;
and, Howard, she laughed right in
my face! What do you think made
her do that? l don't think she's a
bit ce!"--New York Press.

With increasing enlightenment in
matters of hygiene the period of old
age is deferred, and the tides of life
now flow strongly at a time when
our forefathers and, still more, our
foremothers were laid on the Shelf
and yet, put it off as we may, it is
bound to catch up with us, unless
we be of those whom the gods love.
To the earlier period of meek ac-
ceptance belongs the assertion, so
often repeated as to be sometimes
carelessly taken for truth, that con-
tact with youth more than anything
else makes old people forget their
age. Never was a more mistaken
statement. In a way, it is true that
the society of young persons does
keep their elders young, by stimu-
lating their pride and preventing
them from giving way to certain
foibles incident to their time of life.
1t is the nature of a salutary dis
| cipline; and those persons who are
| brought in contact with the little
| segregated communities of old men
and old women who are collected in
| Homes" will probably agree that it
is a discipline which is most de-
sirable For of all the pitfalls which
lie in wait for old age the most dis
tressing is that lack of self-control
which lays bare the weaknesses
hitherto kept under cover by nor
mally strong will The constant
presence of the younger generation
is at the same time a moral goad
and a support. The very instinct of
| self-preservation leads one to adapt
oneself to their standards. II you
would not be unpleasant to look at,
you must cultivate the niceties of the
toilet. Not for you, madam, any
sweet neglect" At your age, robes
loosely flowing, hair as free" are not
as befitting as "A well-preserved fig
ure and a trim coiffure. Not for
you, sir, an overindulgence in Slip
pered ease. Beware the trousers
that bag at the knee and the wrin-
kled waistcoat, If you would not
be an unwelcome companion you
must constantly bear in mind that
'brevity is the soul of wit" You
must be sympathetic, but discreet;
wise. but not too wise; modern
enough to be companionable, but
old-fashioned enough to be suitable.
And you must not expect to be un-
derstood.-"The Point of View" in
the Fiction Number of Scribner.
