az died he was colonel on Gov. McKin-

Judge Longworth was man not only
beloved, but brilliant. His courtship

name. and people wondered what u
meant. Some said Vt STOOD for Cincin-

ing. Years later, he told this story:
As q boy, he had fallen In love with
Sue Walker, and conhded his atfeStio0
to his mother, who wished 10 enee1r-
age him in writing, and advised him
to express his love in letter. He

he addressed his frst love letter, and

son, the present congressman. The
mother still keeps and prizes her first
declaration Of love-
Judge Longworth was once travel
ing in Italy. He was in a forward car
with a friend; and when his wife sent
word for him to come back to her, the
judge remarked, eve had best take all
our things as the dago marquis here
might swipe them" This remark was
made concerning a swarthy looking
man in the opposite seat. The Judge
was only Joking, thinking too, that the
stranger did not understand English.
When the train stopped. the Marquis
handed the Judge card. He was
sure enough marquis and he knew
English. The card meant duel, but
Longworth was equal to the occasion,
for he responded, why hello Marquis,
glad to meet you." The offended noble.

At another time the judge conceiv-
ed the plan of living a few days with
the bandits in Thessaly. With sever.

played games, but the robbers com.

When the stay was over the chief
escorted them to the frontier and saw
them in safe hands. There was q
price on his head and beyond q Ger.

often remarked that he never enjoyed

ply from forest destruction is equally
as great. Large areas In the Southern
Appalachian and White Mountain
hanges should be created into forest
reserves.
For Eastern Forest ReAerves.
In speech at Raleigh, N. c., on
October 20th, last, President Roosevelt,
said: at is the upper attitudes Of the
forested mountains that are most valu-
able to the nation as q whole, especially
because of their effects upon the water
supply. Neither state or nation can af-
ford to turn these mountains over to
the unrestrained greed Of those who
would exploit them at the expense Of
the future. We cannot afford to wait
interests Of the public, Of these forests;
for II we do wait, the vested interests
of private parties in them may be-
como 80 strongly intrenched that II
may be a most expensive task to Gust
hem. If the eastern states are wise,
then from the Bay Of Fundy to the
-ulf we will see, within the next few
years q policy set on foot similar to
that SO fortunately CARED out ii the
high Sierras Of the west by the Ma
tional government. Az the higher Ap-
palachians should be reserved. Such
reserves would be a paying investment,
not only in protection to many inter
gsts, but In dollars and cents to the
government. The Importance to the
southern people Of protecting the south
ern mountain forests Is obvious. These
forests are the best defense against the
foods which, in the recent past, have,
during single twelve months, destroy
cd property officially valued at nearly
twice that 1t would cost to buy the
Southern Appalachian Reserve"

Land OGls, i frederick H, Newell, Chief
Engineer Of the Reclamation Service
and clifford Pinchot. Chief Of the
Bureau OF Forestry, has during the
course Of two years made study OF
the public lands condition and has
brought in q report which has been
forwarded to Congress by the President
with q special message recommending
the repeal Of the Timber and Stone
Act and the substitution of rational
forest policy of selling only the stump.
age from the public timber lands, re-
tanning the lands for future timber
growth; recommending the radical
amendment of the Communication clause
Of the Homestead Act and like
amendment Of the Desert Land Act in
such manner as to require actual resi-
dence and Improvement under both of
the latter named laws, amounting to
their practical repeal.
The provisions Of this report are
highly satisfactory to the Forestry and
Irrigation Committee Of the National
Board Of Trade, which believes that
their enactment into law, strictly en-.
forced, would do away with land and
timber grabbing and promote these pol.
icies on this subject for which the
Board has consistently striven.
The present indefensible land policy
Of the United States is resulting in an
actual money Loss to the government
Of tens Of millions of dollars annually,
IN the denuding Of cur watersheds and
the destruction Of all chances for q
future timber supply. in the building
up Of lordly landed estates In the West
Of tens and hundreds Of thousands Of
acres In single ownerships, instead of
providing for the creating OF thousands
of small rural homes-in short in the
mismanagement and waste OF the
greatest resource ever possessed by any
nation on earth.
The attention Of our lawmakers in
Congress should be urgently called to
the fact that while they are attempting
economy in the expenditure Of money,
they are allowing laws to remain in
force under which by far the most
valuable asset OF the nation is being
recklesslv wasted.
Under the Timber and Stone Act,
the sales Of public timber lands dur
ing the last FIVE years have been as
