SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

An equal suffrage woman is not
more of a freak than man who has
ambitions socially.
If you want to see a man become
animated, get him to tell you about a
lawsuit in which he was defeated.
1t often happens that mans idea of
chivalry begins and ends with his hat
in his hand, when he talks to a woman,
There is one thing certain. A woman
will have to spend all of next winter
apologizing to her family if she lets
her preserves burn.
It is the opinion of every boy that if
boys were as polite as mothers said
they should be, all the boys In the
world would starve to death,
The neighbors, as a rule, do not con-
denim the man who smokes half as
quickly as they condemn the woman
who won't let her husband soke. Xln
When a man is sure he has a wp-
mans sympathy, he adds two feet TO
the stature of the giant that attacked
him every time he tells the story.
About the only time the average VIC
man has a real good opportunity for
getting even with her husband is When
he has a cold and she soaks his feet
in hot water.
There is so much jealousy between
mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law
that the man i'm the case doesn't dare
say when he eats at his mothers that
things taste good to him.-Atchison
Globe.
Somebody suggests that coachmen be
checked with a rein so as to see how
they like it. Useless experiment. The
fact may be taken for granted that
they wouldn't like It.

FOREST PROPAGATION.
Why States Should Look More Care
fully After Their Property.
From the Reader.

In the last five years forest owners have
wantonly wasted millions OF dollars In tim
Der destroyed. The forest experts at Wash
ington frankly say they do not expect a
great many private owners of smaller for
ests to care for their property as IL actually
should be cared for. But they do expect cor
porations and states to look after their for
est tracts more carefully than they have
been doing.
States can derive per cent on every
forest reserve they establish, says Alfred
Gaskiil OF the forest service at Washington.
And this even in planting forests. Indiana
has new reserve of two thousand acres
which Is expected TO pay. Pennsylvania is
systematically planting trees under state
control. California alone has working for

thousand acres; Maryland is beginning the
study OF forestry; Massachusetts has q

Service in Alaska. and. In 1903 the legisla-
ture Of Hawaii passed a bin providing for
an insular forest service and creating a
board of agriculture and forestry. Last
year there was field work on eight fores,
tracts with a total area OF one million six
ty-eight thousand acres. In Minnesota. New
Hampshire, West Virginia, Alabama and
Texas.

So too with our treatment of facts. The
way to deal with an inferior Is decided by
showing the way In which nature has dealt
with interiors during her ages of develop
ment Now there is no question about the
value of this method but there are other
methods for determining the truth. which
possess an equal If not greater value. We
may for instance, reverse the process We
may interpret the monkey by the man.
We may determine the nature and treat
ment of facts by studying their present or
ganization and laws. We may get light on
the value OF the Hebrew revelation by Its
solution of our present problems. We may
interpret the past evolution of the Cosmos
by its present adaptations. We may look
for the Makers mark not only In the fire
mist, but in the structure of the moral or
ganism There are decided advantages about
this method. We are In the present. We
can. therefore, observe its organisms and
laws with greater accuracy. We can test
our conclusions scientifically by results.

Il is often matter of great advantage
not to have TO wait for the historic method
TO be perfected and corrected. When man
has an attack OF appendicitis the knowi-
edge OF his vermiform appendix as II now
is yields far more valuable contribution
to the solution of his case than the entire
history OF that organ, from Its earliest
advent to the time of George Washington.

Fifty Years on Same Farm.

From the Kansas City Star.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Rieger, who live seven
miles west OF Bonner Springs, Kan, cele-
brated their fftieth wedding anniversary at
their home yesterday. Nearly ell OF their
nifty five living descendants were present.
In 1850 they went TO Leavenworth county,
and six years later they moved upon the
farm where they now live. Many of the
Improvements" made upon the farm fifty
years ago are s,ill standing. An old log
barn, built chiefly by Mr.. Riegers own
hands, now serves a chicken house. The
old orchard is located where II was first set
out although nearly all the trees have been
replanted. The first we'll sunk on the farm
stil does duty. I'VE viii never leave the old

here we expect 10 die as we have iiyed-to-

DOGS THAT KNOW FRENCH ONLY

Il suppose II seems ridiculous, but /
know at least dozen pet dogs who don't

speaks English they assume the most bored

| Just now In New York the French-u under

dog enthusiast explained the other day why
French was the accepted language of the
! thoroughly smart dog world.
I'VE have three dogs in our family and
not one OF them understands q word OF
English" she said This may seem
| strange, but when you consider how many

| each year on the continent, travelling with
| French chauffeurs, French maids, French
/ governesses for the children, you can read

the adopted language OF the household. In
| fact IL you listen to the groups OF children
on their way to school in the morning with
their governesses, you'll find that twice as
! much French Is spoken as English. I've
| noticed IT myself many n morning on 9Th
| avenue. when I've accompanied the dogs
| and the children to school.
Consequently, the dogs don't hear much

when English is spoken In their presence Il
| makes absolutely no impression upon them
| Our dogs are with the children or myself
| constantly. They walk and drive with us.
