SPANS KING TO WED.
THE YOUTHFUL PRINCESS OF
ENGLAND is TO BECOME THE
SPANISH QUEEN.

She is the Niece of this Country's Re-
cent Guest, Prince Louis of Batten-
berg Princess Ena the Royal
Beauty of England.
All eyes will be turned toward Spain
next May when the young King AL.
fonso XIII. will take the most beauti-
full and popular princess Of England to
be his queen.
The young girl who has at last been
selected to share the throne with AL
fonso Is the Princess Ena of Batten-
berg, only daughter of Princess Henry,
the youngest sister of King Edward.
Ever since Alfonso became King of
Spain, and even when his mother
acted as Queen Regent, his picturesque
personality has been the talk of two
continents. Long before he reached
the manageable age, even for king,
new bride was picked out for him
every day, and to members of his suite
he would often say
Whom am to marry to-day? The
newspapers surely have found me an
other wife!"
But now that question no longer
agitates Alfonso's court, for the beau
tiful Princess Ena has been chosen
after search which led the young
monarch all over Europe. Country af-
ter country was visited, but the fas-
tidious young king was often con-
fronted by more fastidious young prin-
cesses, and after he had been out on
his search for a while he found that
royal princesses were not so anxious
to become Queen of Spain as. he had
thought back in his luxurious palace.
When Alfonso visited England few
months ago there were dozens Of young
noblewomen paraded for his inspec-
ton, but his eyes flew to the young
Princess Ena, and Alfonso, the unim-

FORESTS SHOULD BIZ PROTEC TED.
An Address Before the American
Forest Congress-.


In the American Lumberman's ex.
haustive report of the proceedings of
the American Forest Congress. held in
Washington, d. c., in January last,
in the installment presented March "a
was given the address of George H.
Maxwell, executive chairman Of the
National Irrigation Association. In
view of the early meeting OF
congress Mr.. Maxwell's recommen-
dations, which follow, are timely and
valuable.
1 think the mistake we make today
and always have made is in looking
upon this question of forestry as In
any sense sectional question. 1t is
necessarily as much a national ques-
ton as is the maintenance of an army
or the construction Of a navy. (Ap-

crossed the Mississippi river on my
way to the west little over two years
ago on a ferryboat on which was
loaded a train of overland passenger
cars; and as we crossed that great
river opposite the city of New Orleans,
during one Of the greatest floods in
years, the water was almost UP to the
tops of the levees on both sides Of the
river. 1t was serious question
whether the city Of New Orleans was
not in danger; and as we landed on
the west side of the river we looked
down over the bank and saw the plan-,
tations away down below the level Of
the water and exposed to overflow and
destruction any moment that artificial
barrier might break Before we had
gone twenty-four hours farther west
Il the levee did break and one of those
great crevasses was formed and 1t
practically destroyed the crop for that
season over a large area; though other
localities and the city of New Orleans
were saved by the diminished pressure
of the flood on the adjacent leyees.

This is unqualified commentator

doctor, rector of the Sacred Heart

women.

Don't be stingy with the gas. The final

Young men should not stay later than
this hour.

lever in no chaperons, and think the
young man should take his girl out and
entertain her during the period of
courtship if anything in that line is to
be expected of him as husband. If

the time it is a bad sign.
"The matter of turning the lights low
is largely dependent on how pretty the

of certainly plain, / should suggest that
little softening of the illumination

"a mother and a father cannot too
thoroughly investigate The character of
the man their daughter is to marry.
And right here I should like to explode
the theory that good son makes a
good husband I think, on the contrary,
the good son is so wrapped up in the
virtues of mother that it frequently
blinds him to those of his wife.
"a long engagement is bound to be
bad Warmed-over sentiment is much
like warmed-over potatoes-fat and
tasteless. The fire and spirit go out Of
the love-naking, and there you are"
Despite this opinion Mrs. Cory
laughs at DR.. Hanrahan's statement
that he cannot see what people find to
talk about when they go together for
| years.

planned, 'is SO all-absorbing that it sup

This English Actress Would Refuse Divorce to Couples
Who Have Children.
MISS OLGA NETHERSOLE.

Miss Olga Nethersole, the distin-
gulshed English actress who is now
producing in this country a new So
ciety drama, "The Labyrinth" speaks
with intense conviction against di-
vorces to families in which children
have been born to the marriage. When
the production of the play was first
preached to Miss Nethersole she was
more than willing to produce it
not alone for the excellent opportuni-
ties afforded her for dramatic inspira-
ton, but she found that it had seri-
Gus purpose in teaching humanity an
object lesson. In fact most of the
plays which Miss Nethersole has pro-
duced have hidden somewhere lessons
to be taught the founders of homes.
'Hervieu,". she said in an interview,
"has shown in his drama, The Lady,
rinth,' the indissolvable bond the child
makes between husband and wife and
the terrible consequences of adisrup-
tion of such union.
What does marriage mean," she
asked, eff not parentage? The rela-
tionship and responsibilities, not Of
husband and wife, but of father and
mother, are those which should be ac-
cepted when a man and woman are
Joined in marriage. To tear apart by
law the tie which binds couple to-
gether, after they have brought chill
dren into the world, is to destroy the
home and to rob those children of all
the influences which develop them into
good citizens. Divorce is an injustice
to the offspring of marriage; it places
barrier between them and one. Of

CFrom the American Lumberman" Of Dec g. I905.)
BY request the American Lumber
man reprints in this issue a part of
the speech of George H. Maxwell, ex-
-ecutive chairman of the National Irri-
cation Association, delivered before
the American Forest Congress at Wash
ington, D. c., in the early part of jan
uary, 1905. This address has much
to commend it to the business men
of the country. 1t was termed the
sensational address Of the congress,
and perhaps deservedly so called be-
cause it sets forth in illuminated
words the necessity Of inaugurating a
systematic movement looking toward
the rehabilitation Of forest lands and
the planting or treeless areas.
The gentleman who delivered this
able talk on forestry spoke from ex-
perience and close observation. He did
not dillydally around with the usual
commonplace platitudes about the i'm
portance of forestry, but by illustra-
ton showed for what purposes the
forests were intended and the COM
mercial value of their Importance as
compared with the recognized bulwarks
of the nation. While he conceded the
necessity of an army ana navy to
guard invasion and to protect and up
hold the rights of the people in for.
eign countries he called particular at
tention to the desirability of maintain
ing an adequate forested area in order
that the commercial interests of the
United States might in like manner
be preserved.
Mr.. Maxwell's arraignment of the
national lawmakers and his comments
on the shortsightedness of those in
charge OF business interests were time
ly. While not subscribing fully and
unreservedly to the views expressed
the American Lumberman believes that
his severe condemnation OF past and
present methods and practices will
bring forth good results and that its
republication will again turn public
attention to the necessity of adopting
laws which will correct evils in the
future and provide system of juster
i
administration of the public land laws.
The attitude of the public toward
forestry and irrigation is a peculiar

lions. Some are totally Indifferent;
others admit the desirability of es
tsblishing reserves but want to leave

concerned. Still others are lukewarm
and, while readily admitting the bene
fits, of forestry and irrigation pro-
jects, content themselves with waiting
until there is more visible likelihood
Of the movement being successful
Still another faction is made up Of
those who are openly opposed to all
forestry schemes, many national irri
cation projects, and government inter
vention in such matters.

have father and mother, although
they may spend most of the time with
one of their parents. There will at
least be no possibilities of placing
them under the care of another mother

the home again might unite, would still
exist.
uniformity is the first step that is
needed in the formation of the divorce
laws of the United States. There are
different codes in almost every State,
and one may be criminal in one and
not in another. Then the divorces are
easily granted on too many grounds.
In England there are three causes for
which divorce may be secured-infdel-
ity, cruelty and desertion. In this
country there seem to be half dozen
or more. but America is ahead of
France at least in one respect. There
people who may have been divorced
