HOW THE NATIONAL FOR
EsTs SERVE THE PUBLIC

"The Use of the National For
ests," publication just printed
by the Department of Agriculture
is a brief, clear manual for public
information as to the forest pol
icy of the National Government.
1t is too true, as the short pre-
face to the public says, that
'"many people do not know what
National Forests are. Others
may have heard much about
them, but have no idea of their
true purpose and use'. 1t is the
object of this publication to ex-
plain just what the National For
ests mean, what they are for, and
how,to use them.
In the first place, it is explain
ed how the Forests are created
and how their boundaries are
drawn. Next, their direct use
and value are shown from the
point of view of the homeseeker,
the prospector and miner, the us

charitable institutions.
"One man proposed to sell Miss
Gould his farm for $1,000, which
he said he thought was a pretty
good barghin--for her. -Four
persons, presumably young wo-
men, wanted Miss Gould to help
them to buy trousseaus. Only
one named the sum she expected.
The others left that to Miss
Gould.
ELEVEN persons wanted pia-
nos, and twelve wanted Miss
Gould to buy their inventions.
One person wrote long letter
offering to give her the last
chance to buy ring for 81 200
which was worth four times that
much, if a cent. A girl wanted
to sell her a brooch for $500, and
still another said she had lovely
Sevres vase which Miss Gould
''bein' it was her." might have
for $500. A son filed with filial
love wanted to erect a monument
to his father. He suggested that
Miss Gould contribute $500 to-
ward that worthy end.
"In the long list there was on
ly one request for musical in
strument. Somebody wanted an
organ, but another person wanted
money with which to print 2,00U

Of the other wants: Bibles, BIZ
cycles, a farm and three cows, one
invalid's chair, enough air pillows
to supply a regiment Of soldiers,
one set of teeth, five sewing
machines, and fifteen railway
tickets.
"Five persons wanted Miss
Gould either to buy their manu-
script or help to sell them; one
wanted assistance in getting out
an opera, and another help for
an OratoriO. One person pleaded
for help that he might open a
photograph gallery. He said that
with a gallery opened and paid
for his road to fortune and hap
piness was clear. Another man
said that if Miss Gould would
give him a horse and a pedler's
Cart he would never ask for an
other thing.
"More than a hundred letters
simply asked for albany kind,
money, clothes, false teeth, or
gans, or anything else handy.
Thirty-four were frank in asking
for old clothes, and three wanted
watches. Seventeen only wanted
to see Miss Gould Ito get her adj
vice. One asked for a house, so
that he might marry his sweet
heart. Another simply asked for
the concession to sell Miss Gould s
picture for his own profit. One
wanted tip on railway stock.
Seven simply wrote that they
had named children after Miss
Gould, evidently going on the
assumption that a word. to the
wise ought to be enough.

climb; but I felt comparatively safe,
for the beast was too busy with other
matters just then to give further at
tent1On to me.
When he struck the ground, after
being tossed upward, he was in great
rage Instead Of waiting to be gored
a second time he made furious dash
at his enemy, intending, [ think, to
light on the ox's back Bnt Coa1y
had no thought of permitting anything
of the kind.
Wheeling round with astonishing
quickness, he received the lion on his
horns and threw him several feet back
ward Three or four times this was re-
peated. Finally, the lion, finding him
self unable to get at the OK, ceased
his attacks He did not retreat, how
ever, but stood with open mouth and
cleaning eyes, uttering loud growls of
Defiance
Coa1y was not in the least intimidat-
ed by this show Of resistance. Lower
ing his head, he plunged recklessly at
the lion. Then followed fierce and
exciting struggle, which lasted for
several minutes.
Again and again the OK charged
furiously, but the lion always sprang
nimb1y out of the way, and in turn
tried to jump upon the back of his
antagonist Notwithstanding his huge
size, Coa1y was very swift in his move
ments. Wherever the lion presented
himself, he found the sharp horns
ready to receive him.
Finally I saw the lion make a des-

perate leap at Coa1y's throat. The OK
turned very quickly, so that his body
shut out my view. For a little while
[ was very much afraid lest my cham
pion, although he had been having the
fight all his own way SO far, should be
defeated and perhaps killed. But soon
he turned and I saw, much to my re-
lief, that there was no occasion what
ever for alarm on his account.
The lion was on his back on the
ground, while Coa1y was almost stand
ing on his head over the PROSTATE
body, doing his best to drive his horns
through it.
Whether he succeeded I could not
tell in the dim light; but in few seconds
the lion was again thrown into the
air. When he struck the ground all
the fight was gone out OF him. He
scrambled away, followed by the furi-
Gus Coa1y. Both disappeared among
the cedars.
I listened intent1y to learn what they
were doing. Now and then growl,
more of pain than Of defiance, come
back from the direction they had taken.
Each growl was fainter, coming farther
up the creek, and from this knew
that the lion was not racing at good
speed
While I was listening eagerly for
some evidence that the fight had been
renewed, became aware that every
thing round me was growing lighter.
G1ancing down, I saw with dismay
that my bed was on fire. One of the

combatants had fallen upon the straw,

His intention was that I should go

some miles from our place; but they
started earlier than [ did, and [ could
not drive my oxen fast enough to over
take them that day, Lep, my nigh OK,
was big, red and white fellow with
enormous horns which he was too
good natured to use. Coaly, the black
off OK, was of a different temper.
He was taller than Lep, much
quicker, and had shorter, sharper
horns. He would kick as we'll as hook,
he particularly hated dogs, and was
altogether so vicious when unyoked
that nothing but his good conduct
when yOked saved him from the butch

The steep, rocky sides of the wild

illness I made my preparations for
camping with much trepidatiOn, al
though I really had no other reason
for fear than that wolves, wildcats,
and mountain lions had been enCOun-
tered in this great ravine.
After unyoking the oxen and tying
them to trees, [ collected dry cedar
