Couldn't Mix the Bicycle.

Some years ago, soon after bicycles
began to be freely used throughout the
United States, an agent for a New York
house turned up at a village in Central
New York. He expatiated to an old
farmer upon the virtues of the new ma
chine, dwelling upon what a time-saver
it was, and withal how fashionable it
would be for the old farmer to be able
to ride down to the village on one of
the new-fangled machines whenever he
wanted to.
why" said the salesman, whenever
you go to the %postofice, bank, or store,
everybody will stop and stare at Farmer
Wilson, and pretty soon you'll be the
most-talked-of man in the whole coun-
ty."
THAT may be So" replied the farmer,
"but | tell you I'm a-needin' a good
new cow mon l am one o them things
you're a-talkin' about"
Nevertheless, the agent extracted a
promise that the old man would save
up his money and purchase a bicycle
when the agent came around in the fall
According to promise, the agent Wa
on hand in the fall with the wheel. The
farmer took him in charge and carried
him out to the lot and showed him q
fine Jersey cow.
That's what I bought with the money
| saved up for you," said the farmer
And without waiting for the agent tc
recover from his surprise he went on
Il lowed that | needed the cow mon |
did the bicycle, an there she is. Amt
she a beaut?"
When the agent recovered his breath
he said; You'll look funny riding that
COW to town, won't your"

Revolutionary Russia.

Like the Stuarts of Great Britain
and the Bourbons OF France, tne
reigning dynasty of Russia goes from
blunder to blunder. Such a revolution
as is in progress throughout Euro
pear Russia cannot be suppressed by
the sword. The thing to have done
was to make concessions to the spirit
of liberty when the agitation began
Grants that would have been
hailed as liberal a year ago would be
| rejected with scorn today as wholly
insufficient.
The revolution is strikingly like that
Of France, and there will be no stop
ping it. The p%roletariat has fought
and tasted blood. Suppose they sup.
press the revolt in Moscow? 1t will
break out at some other point-in Po'
land, or Lithuania, or Finland, or
elsewhere between the Baltic and the
Black seas. The army will be kept on
the jump, and its loyalty put to the su.
premest test. Then, when order has
been shot into the nation, and reigns
everywhere as it nee did at Warsaw,
the revolution will break out afresh in
Moscow or somewhere else, and it will
all have to be done over, again.
> Before the thing is finished, Russia
will be a republic; not a free republic,
but a revolutionary republic guided by
a Cromwell or a Napoleon. And If such
should be her destiny, she will be a
mighty ugly customer in a quarrel with
a neighbor, just as England was in the
middle of the seventeenth century, just
as France was at the close of the eight.
zenith century.
For a full 100 years republicanism
has been driving a~utocracy to the wall
in Europe. France is a pretty good re
public and getting better every day.
The Kaiser of the great German EN-
pire has in the Reichstag a partner in
the government, ofttimes a very med
dlesome and a very obstinate partner
at that. The Cortez holds the purse of
Spain, and Italy is a constitutional
monarchy. Austria-Hungary has a leg
islature, and the Scandinavian PEG.
pies have enjoyed liberty for ages.
Russia is rousing from the slumber of
centuries and she cannot be put to
sleep again. There will be battle and
blood and terror, but it will end in a
republican, least, N a legislature
and then Russia will begin the new
lesson of learning what liberty is and
what to do with it.

new PUBLIC PRINTER.
At THJRTY.FOyR YEARS OF AGE
HE HEADS THE BIGGEST PRINT
SHOP IN THE WORLD.

His Office Pays Out Annually over
Four and a Half Million Dollars in
Mages-Is One of the Presidents
Youngest.
At the head of the biggest printing
office in the world at the age or "a.
| That is the position in which Charles
| A. Stillings finds himself to-day. When
the Hon. Frank w. Palmer resigned
from the office Of Public Printer last
summer. President Roosevelt found
himself facing the necessity of making
one of the most important appoint
ments that had ever fallen to his lot
to consider. The printing required for
the United States Government is so
voluminous and of such diversified de-
tail hat it is necessary to operate the
enormous plant in which the printing
is produced, in the most perfect way.
At the head of this great printery the
President knew he must place a man
who would be manly among men,
strong of character, quick of decision
and with a thorough grasp of every
detail OF the printing business in
everyone of its many branches. Many
men backed by strong political intu-
ence were presented to the President
for his consideration in making the
appointment for Public Printer, but
none seemed to be possessed of all of
the necessary qualifications. until his
attention was directed to a progress
sive young man whose knowledge of
the printing business covered the en-
tire field and who had had practical
experience in Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington-one Charles A. Stillings.
And so, after a thorough examination
into Mr.. Stillings' commercial career,
the President. finding that Mr.. Still
lings' ability was just what he had
been looking for, appointed him as the
executive head of the Government
Printing Office. The Senate promptly
confirmed the Presidents appointment
and so Mr.. St{llings has become the
active head of the establishment.
A brief idea of the volume of bust
conducted by the Government
Printing Office may be obtained from
the following figures. Last year they
paid in wages to its various employees
the sum of $4,G1G, 7S1.70 and nearly
three millions more were spent for
various supplies, including paper, new
machinery and maintenance of the
plant. Every dollar of this great sum
is expended under the check of the
Public Printer and it is evident that
much wisdom is needed in handling
money where SO large an amount is in
volved.
Mr.. Stillings is especially fitted by
training, inclination, and ability for
the position. He forms an attractive
addition to the ranks of the young men
with whom President Roosevelt has

new forests by the national govern
ment on the wide level prairies and
bare, rolling foothills which are now
supposed to be among the waste places
OF the land n fit only for grazing
ground for a few stray cattle and
sheep. 800
1t is the vast possibilities of forest
planting and timber production in this
region mat make it almost a crime
against future generations to part
with the land in it's present condition
TO stockmen under such a scheme as
the Kinkaid bill for the creation of
large grazing estates in private own
ership.
The mining interests more immedi-
ately than n other ought to oppose
this S40-acre homestead idea anywhere
In the great plains or Rocky mountain
states and help to inaugurate a great
national policy of planting new for
ests, not only to furnish wood and
timber for the mines but to conserve
and increase the rainfall, regulate the
flow OF the rivers, stop floods and fur
nish water for irrigation.

surrounded himself in the administra-
ton of the Government affairs. He re-
ceived his education in the Phillips
Grammar School and the English High
School at Boston. After leaving school
he entered his fathers printing office,
where he received a varied and thor
ough experience in all branches of the
trade, finally working up TO the posi-
ton Of general manager and later be-
coming sales manager of the Griffith

Quoted by Mr.. Stillings, Sr.
In all of Mr.. Stillings' transactions
he has shown an unusual aptitude for
organization, and, possessing a marked
degree of personal magnetism has
drawn into a close friendship with
himself many men of dignity and posi-
ton. Mr.. Stillings is a Mason, having
attained the honors of the thirty-sec-
ond degree of the Scottish Rite, and is
also a Mystic Shriner.

that would make him feel the full
weight of an outraged national public
sentiment. (Applause.) They are not
liable to punishment criminally, but
they are morally responsible for every
fraud committed under the timber and
stone act since they shelved the bill to
repeal 1t passed by the senate in the
asst session of congress.
But it is not enough merely to re-
peal the timber and stone act. Every
acre of public forest and or brush
or woodlands which conserves a water
supply should be at once embraced in
permanent forest reserves, the title to
be always retained by the national
government and the stumpage of ma
tured timber only to be sold.
Wonderful Possibilities of IA Arid

An Inproviscd Excuse.

Tommy was absent from school for
one entire day. But he brought a note
of excuse the next morning, which
would prove that he had been detained
at home legitimately. The writing was
hardly that of a feminine hand, and the
note appeared to have been written la
boriously. Furthermore, the penman-
ship seemed to be strangely familiar to
his teacher. The note read as follows /:
