Preserving Our Forests.

One of the most hopeful signs Of
the times is the changing attitude Of
the umbermen toward the science of
forestry as fostered by the Federal
Government. They are beginning to
see that their industry is doomed to
an early extinction unless the wastage
is checked and the forest is renewed
for future generations. And more than
this. unless the forests are preserved,
vast tracts of fertile and prosperous
America will become desert in the
next century This is lesson taught
by such countries as Tunis, now a
part of the North African desert,
which in old times was smiling and
populous garden. An Arab chronicler
relates that "in those days one could
walk from Tunis to Tripoli in the
shade" The Arab conquest destroyed
the forest, and the desert swept over
the face Of the land.-Ralph d. Paine
in "The Builders" in the Outing Mag.

OLD. CENTURIES OLD.

His hands can shape no daily task,
But only idly drum;
His dome of thought is wholly bald,
And toothless is his gum.
His feet traverse no thorny paths
Where others faint and fall;
The strife and battle of the world
Concerns him not at all.
He looks upon the wearied days
With calm and jaded eye,
de has no optimistic word,
His language is a cry.
In short, in Baby we peruse,
With interest immersed,
A deep romance of which we read
The final chapter first.

BAD MAN SCARED.
Barber Cut His Precious Hair Without
Permission.


Permission.
When w S. Hart of "The Squaw
Man company staggers into the
Long Horn saloon scene as the Rust
Ter and Bad Man, he makes the hair
of those sitting down in front fairly
stand on end, but when he discards
the cowboy clothes and energies in
plain garb, he is understanding
enough to be "done' by a weakly Chi
cago barber. He had an experience
few days ago that demonstrated to his
complete satisfaction that he is not
very formidable in appearance when
a mere pedestrian.
The actor started for the matinee
one afternoon and decided to be shay
ed before dressing for his part He
stepped into a shop near Clark and
Randolph streets and made known his
wants.
Fright in this chair, please" said
the apparently polite and eager to
please barber.
When Mr.. Hart was seated the chair
was tipped back, but instead Of making
lather the barber began shipping about
hus customers ears with a pair Of
shears.
Don't touch my hair" said Mr.
Hart 1T suits me perfectly, and
only want shave"
Very well" replied the barber,
bowling and smiling. But in about two
ticks of the clock the tonsorial artist
had reached down low on the actors
neck and shipped off a large lock of
hair, remarking:
why, you need hair cut"
The bad man" was .outdone and,
of course, was compelled to have mis-
locks trimmed, but mis- anger was at
white heat He said some very I'M
complimentary things to the barber,
but when asked why he did not flare
forth with something like he uses
when earning his salary, he replied
What! me try 10 get revenge
among that bunch Of BARRIERS, each
with brace of razors ready to chop
me ND with? I guess not"
But this was not the end Of the fun
A fellow barber had seen "The Squaw
Man" and he recognized the man in
the chair He kept his counsel, how
ever, and day or two later, after
learning what he could Of the man in
general, asked the artist who had so
easily worked" the actor to go to the
show with him. When the second act
came and Cash Hawkins lurched in
the host said to his companion:
Say, Tom, there is the man whose
hair you trimmed the other day"
The effect was instantaneous. The
BARRIERS hair, like the hair Of many
about, seemed to mount on end, not
that he feared results then, but ne
confided to his host that he actually
feared the man would come back
looking for trouble. Chicago Rec

GOOD IDEA. GOV. MEAD.


Governor Albert E Mead delivered
an excellent address at the Puyallup
fair last week and among other good
things recommended the organization
of a state publicity department. The
idea Is certainly sound and progress
sive, and the governor is to be COM
mended for the advocacy Of a meas
ure which viii place that important
work on basis that is calculated to
inspire confidence on The part Of
prospective settlers. Several weeks
ago this paper advocated the estab-
lishment OF municipal publicity bu-
reaus, and heartily commends the
governors recommendation and sug-
sests that the legislature not only
provide for a state bureau Of this
kind, but that law sufficiently
broad in scope be passed to authorize
all towns and cities in the state to
provide funds by taxation for the
purpose Of carrying forward this
work, which as much as anything else
will result in attracting to this state
a desirable class of Orator.

HIS PRECIOUS SOUL.

He was highly moral man.
His eyes possessed an upward roll:
He seemed TO think Of nothing but
The future glory of his soul
He had no time to stop to pat
\ little child upon the head,
His hopes were all of splendor that
Should be his after he was dead
The beauty of maidens face,
The splendor of a tree in bloom,
He noticed not because his thought
Was of rewards beyond the tomb
The spread Of oceans majesty.
The glory of the sunset sky,
Were things he had no eyes to see,
His dreams were Of the by-and- by.
The warbling Of the birds in spring
Were noise TO him and nothing
more.
He closed his ear till he might hear
The harps upon the golden shore.
His lips we're never shaped to mirth,
Gloom settled everywhere he went;
He merely fingered on the earth
As one who served Imprisonment.
He never broke a woman's heart.
He never robbed anc never slew.
lie kept the law, but never saw
The rainbow in a drop of dew.
The world has naught that came from
him,
Beside his tomb no mourners sit;
wonder If they had to trim
His heavenly garments down 70 -.

JONES REPLY.

Congressman Jones asks labor to
decide the issue Mr.. Gompers has
sought TO raise against him. He
evades no charge. He points to his
record in congress and it is a rec
ord of work He declares that he has
favored no class. but that drawing
his commission from all The people
of the state, he has tried TO represent
all the people. What more can any
man, whether he be an employee or
an employer. ask of a congressional
representative?
Yet Mr.. Jones SHOWS that he has
been a friend of labor. To the Com
pers bill of grievances he sub
seribed his support to those measures
he deemed just and wise. He refused
to take Gomper's word on the extern
sion of the eight-hour law to the
Panama canal in the interests OF all
the laborers there, or to curtail the
power of judicial injunction. The
reasons for his opposition are sound.
The eignt-hour law, in so far as ii af-
fects American labor on the isthmus.
is already effective. But Mr.. Jones
does not believe that American la
HOi Gi > VII ulS that A ne GOuu-
try is miasmatic and unhealthy. The
demand for labor here is in excess
of the supply American brains and
American engineers will plan and di-
rect, and where skilled labor is re
quired, American hands will do it.
The drudgery will be performed by
other workmen. This is the posi-
ton Mr.. Jones takes and it would
seem TO be supported by the lahorers
of this state. since none of them has
asked him 10 change his attitude
Herein he does not think that Wash
ington labor agrees with Mr.. Com
pers. He represents the first. not
the second.
Freedom of injunction means more
for lahor. in Mr.. Jones opinion. than
does eurtailment Nor can he find
unanimiiy here. One body of la
borers prefers one bill, Gompers an
other Paths diverge again. Shall
the Gompers word be taken as finale
Labor itself is not satisfied.
