SUNDAY. JANUARY 27, 1907.

The beautiful pine woods of Ravenna, wherein
Dante once wandered, have been ruthessly
slaughtered by the Commune Of Ceria- which
received them from the State fifty years ago.
About two hundred and fifty acres have been
cleared In order TO raise money. I'VE are glad
TO learn" says the London Academy, that
the indignant protests which resulted from this
act of vandalism have resulted in the Commune
undertaking TO preserve the remaining area
the Pineta originally extended over nearly two
thousand acre+and to replant the devastated
ground" The lover Of poetry will remember
ByrOn's lines:
Sweet hour OF twilight In the solitude
OF the pine forest and the silent shore
Which bounds Ravenna's fmmernOrial wood.
Rooted where once the Adrian wave flowed
DER.
TO where the last Oesarean fortress stood.
Evergreen forest! which BoccacCio's lore
And Dryden's lay made haunted ground to me.
How have loved the twilight hour and thee!
Replanting Will ultimately of course, bring
back much, If not ALL OF the old romantic charm
of the Pineta, but not in our own time Will that
wonderful domain recover its losses. 1t is hard
90 say which is the more potent source Of
melancholy beauty in that corner of Italy-the
sOmbre churches of Ravenna, whose walls, COW
cred with ancient mosaics, gleam with quiet
iridescence suggesting fantastic sea cayerns or
the marshalled lines of those trees in whose
shadow the poet walked and pondered- The
ravages of the modern money maker in this
enchanted wood seem peculiarly stupid and
cruel

One Of the features Of the Okla
homa exhibit at the jamestown ex-
position viii be the lecture on @The
Story of Oklahoma illustrated BY
stereopticon views from real life in
the new state. A small auditorium att
tached to the Oklahoma building fit
ted with opera chairs and seating 100
or 200 people, will be devoted to the
purpose. Here, at certain stated in
tervals the story of the real, present
day Oklahoma, with all Of it's attrac-

evidences Of social and industrial
progress viii be graphically told to
the visitors. This effective means Of
advertising was resorted to in num-
ber of instances, and with most ex-
cellent results at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair thre years ago.
It is desierd that every county in
the state should be fairly represent
ed in this illustrated description Of
Oklahoma. Representative views Of
all kinds should be selected for this
purpose-views of cities, towns and
villages, of farms and farm homes, Of
fields, gardens, orchards, vineyards
and live stock, of churches, schools
and other public institutions. Nor

not be done this year.
At present Oklahoma and Indian
Territory are governed by different
laws in regard to sale OF drugs. In
the event that the druggists Of the
