TOWN SAVED BY FOREST,
There Have Been Instances Wherein
Planting of Trees Has Done
the Work.

Baby forests are some of Uncle
Sans pets. Successful forest planting
has been done for some time in Nebras-
ka, and now a new nursery is being
planted in California near Santa Bar
bara. Seeds of trees suited to the eli
mate there will be grown and in about
two years the seedlings will be ready
to be transplanted to their permanent
locations. The upper water shed OF
the Santa Ynez river now is quite bare
or sparsely covered with chaparral
This is the water shed which supplies
the town of Santa Barbara with water,
and it will be the first scene of atten pit
at reforesting. Good forest growth is
essential both to preserve the water
and to avoid the washing down of silt
II unchecked this would ruin the res
ervoir. The enterprise is one phase ci
the national endeavor to induce and to
conserve the rainfall as we'll as to dis
tribute the resulting water by the irri
cation work. Italian irrigation has
been termed the most economical in
utilizing water supply, and the NEST
highly developed system of admins
trative control. midas system is said
to illustrate examples of irrigation on
the largest scale, and Americas yields
the most rapid development.

SHE OWNED A PIANO.
But Possession of It Did Not Weigh
Against Her Chances
for Relief.

A little girl at recent Christmas
entertainment in one of the college set
Elements talked grandly to visitors
about "our piano" Pieces played on
the piano to amuse the children evil
IDENTIFY brought the subject to her
mind, relates the New York Sun.
One very practical woman who con-
tributes much to the support of the
settlement heard the child's remarks.
at seems to me-" she said, rather
consciously to the head worker, that
a child whose family owns a piano
isn't really suffering for need Of help.
There are plenty who are really in
need, and I don't think it right to
exclude them in favor Of one who
owns a piano"
Seeking out the child, the head
worker questioned her closely
did you say you had piano at
your house?" she asked.
Eyes, indeed" responded the child,
cheerfully.
SIS it yours or your mother's?"
Its mine; Santa Claus brought it
10 me last year"
Light began to dawn on the settle
ment workers brain.
And how large is your piano-as
big as that?" pointing to the upright
in the room.
ooh, no, mine is teenty weenty

NATIONALITY ESTABLISHED.
"Him" Was No Dago Because He Had
Some Uncles Who Were
"Cops."

There might be room for argument
over the proposition that the trade OF
profession makes the man; but in GER
tain cases there could be no doubt
about the relation of calling and ex-
traction, says Youths Companion.
A worker among the children OF
New York's slums was endeavoring to
get together a class of boys for the
singing teacher at her settlement
Happening upon little boy hanging
about corner fruit stand, the settle
ment worker accosted him, and ex-
planning about the class, asked him if
he would not like to join. The child
grinned and seemed willing.
Then the lady espied another boy
still smaller, whom she had not no
ticed at first. He, too, was hanging
about the fruit stand, and evidently
belonged with the other.
"Oh, and your little friend there
she said, pleasantly, wouldn't he like
to come and sing, too?"
The first childs coloring spoke in
disputably of Italy, although his speech
smacked of the BOwery. The smaller
boys hair was also dark. When no
reply came to her question, the lady
went on talking, trying to ingratiate
herself
"Your friend is Italian, too?" she re-
marked, interrogatively.
At this the little Italian stared hare
at the lady, then broke into fluent
speech.
Him." he exclaimed, pointing to The
smaller child, him a dago" Then
with a derisive laugh, 81 guess nit!

Buffalo in New York.

New York city has in its geological
garden a herd of IS bisons, survivors
of the herds that once trampled the
plains. Fifteen have been offered t.
the United States government as q
gift. The plan is to put them in the
Wichita Forest reserve. Bisons do MOI
thrive in city park, but the govern
ment herds nearer to wild state are
increasing. The American buffalo may
be saved from extinction, after all.
