The announcement that 100000 acres
OF White Mountain lands, including most
OF the Presidential Range, have passed
into the hands OF lumber company en-
phasizes the timeliness of the bill which
has been introduced into the United
States Senate by Senator Gallinger, au-
thorizing the secretary OF agriculture to
purchase at his discretion not more than
100000 acres Of land in the White Noun
tatns for a national forest preserve We
might wish the limit set were 1000, 900
acres, as provided in a former bill, which
was strongly recommended two years ago
by the committee on forest reservations
and the protection Of game, and we be-
lieve the latter area would be none too
great to be thus acquired. Nevertheless,
the half million acres provided in the
present bill would make a fine preserve
and would rescue large part OF the
White Mountain area from ruin.

Lincoln the Farmer.

Matters soon reached a crisis which
drove the junior partner out into the fields
again, where he undertook all sorts Of
rough farm labor, from splitting rails
to blowing. AS an-of-all-worl1, how
ever, Lincoln did not prove altogether
satisfactory to his employers. He was
too fond of mounting stumps in the field
and ''practicing polemics" on the other
farm hands, and there was something
uncomfortable about a plowman who
read as he followed the team, no matter
how straight his burrows ran. Such prac-
tices were irritating. If not presumptuous,
and there is a well-known story about q
farmer who found "the hired man. lying
in field beside the road, dressed in his
not too immaculate farm clothes, with
a book instead Of pitchforik In his hand.
What are you reading?" inquired the
old gentleman.
I'm not reading; I'm studying" an
swered Lincoln, his wonderful eyes stiIl
on the pages Of his book.
Studying what?"
Law, sir"
The old man stared at the speaker for
moment in utter amusement.
t-God--Almightyl he muttered
as he passed on, shaking his head

"a Really Do Not Know"

1 love the days in winter
When snow falls all around,
And like a soft, white blanket
Is spread upon the ground.
1 love the days in summer
When daisies are in bloom,
And cover all the meadow
Like carpet on a room.
And which / think is prettier
/ really do not know
When the fields are white with daisies.
Or when they're white with snow.
