several well-defined and necessary
points. He has striven to make the
principal character of the play one of
extraordinary interest in more ways
than one. He has depleted the life Of
the girl who has known nothing else
but criminal environment. and he has
depicted with no uncertain touch how
even the most evil tendencies Will
yield to the master passion, love. That
he has been more than ordinary sue
cessful, those who have witnessed the
play will attest. and it is quite love-
able character that steps out from the
frame of criminality at the last.

The new railroad rate law, which

ers' excursions to the southwest,
northwest and Canada 1t has been
the custom of the railroads to grant
these agents passes similar to those
given employees. There Is no doubt
that this is prohibited by the new
law, and there is considerable spec
ulation as to what course the railroad
companies will pursue in the future.
AS yet no order has been received
at the Offices of the railroads in this
city, but no doubt there will be some
special orders covering this point
soon The plan which presents it.
self as the most feasible is to make
the land aagents employees of the
roads. 1t is specifically provided in
the law that before any person can
receive a pass ne must be on the pay
roll of the company If the agents
are on the pay roll they will clearly
come within the meaning of the law
as. employees.
At present the railroads designate
upon those days excursion tickets are
sold. Only homeseekers are supposed
to take advantage of these rates, but,
of course, the company is dependent
to a certain extent upon the represe1-
tations of the parties themselves, or
the agents conducting the excursions.
In some cases the privileges granted
by the companies have been abused,
but generally the plan has worked
satisfactorily.
The new law will unquestionably
put many of the agents dealing in
southern, northwestern and Canadian
lands at a serious disadvantage. 1t
is certain that the company will never
put All such agents upon its pay roll.
and the proposition will resolve itself
to a survival of the fittest. Probably
only the most responsible and best
business men will be chosen,
1t is hardly possible that the rail-
roads will abolish the present system
of providing transportation for agents
and cease encouraging the homeseelk-
ers' excursions altogether. The rail-
road companies are directly benefited
by the movements Of people from one
part of the country 20 another, such
as has obtained in Texas, and this
has given rise to the assumption that
they will place their land agents upon
the company pay roll.

TIMBER WASTE BY FIRE.
Need of Scientific Forestry in the
United States is Very Great.

A forest fire Is a terrific thing to

Often it is practically beyond human
control not long after its destructive

waster of the natural resources of the
United States. Probably no other

saved from damage and destruction
by fire the day of the exhaustion OF
the forest wealth with which this re-

not only ruin trees ready for use,
but kill millions of young saplings.
They prevent reforesting in many

of their original timber.

Blanket Indians are On the move.
During the past week party of them

his nickname because of the fact that
he is graduate of the Carlisle school.
He is a full-blood Cherokee and wears
the native costume.
In anticipation of both Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma becoming states
these Indians are uneasy and are
seeking another country. They are
going to Mexico where they say they
can continue to live their own lives
in their own way without being both

Absurd? Not at ali. Oyster
shells contain lime, nitrogen, iron,
sulphur magnesia, bromide, phos.

all excellent tonics.
You know how hens eat ground
oyster shells and thus produce eggs
with good, thick. strong shells?
Well, as the ground oyrter powder
acts on eggshells, so have no doubt,
It acted in the middle age on the
bending crumbling bones of the

that the sauerkraut season will soon
be upon u.s. Throughout the summer
that most nourishing and refreshing
dainty is in retreat, but with the first
frost it resumes its proud place upon
the tempting banquet boards of the
