Say, you ought to hear ma Singh

And her smile stays on from mornin

She's been buyin' rugs and gettin a
new costly switch to wear,
And she takes a cab whenever she

She has bought herself dfhund, and
you ought to see it blaze;
Mas as cheerful as a robin-they have

Sisters busy gettin' dresses tAat'H

And the hats she's been buyin' are the
very fastest style;
She's to go abroad this summer with
some people named the Cooks;
Is she happy? Well, guess so You
can see 1t by her looks;
She goes hummin' songs and dancin'
and in forty thousand ways
Lets us know that she is cheerful
since they've given pa raise
Pa still works the same as ever ana
he's smokin' stogies yet;
Wears the suit he got last summers
and guess he's still in debt;
Anyway, he starts of early and comes
home tagged out at night,
And his forehead's gettin wrinkles
and his hair is turnin' white;
Can't somehow, help feelin' sorry as

With vacant look at nothin' Yes,

hither and thither, utterly destroying
the pastures and leaving a waste be-
hind, SO that their presence is incom-
patible with the presence of home
makers. The existing fences are all
Illegal. Some Of them represent the
improper exclusion OF actual settlers,
actual homemakers, from territory
which Is usurped by great cattle COM
panies. Some Of them represent what
is in itself a proper effort to use the
range for those upon the land and to
prevent Its use by nomadic outsiders.
All these fences, those that are hurtful
and those that are beneficial, are alike
illegal and must come down. But it is
Fan outrage that the law should neces-
state such action on the part of the
administration. The unlawful fencing
of public lands for private grazing
must be stopped, but the necessity
which occasioned it must be provided
for. The federal government should
have control Of the range, whether by
permit or lease, as local necessities
may determine. Such control could Sc
cure the great benefit Of legitimate
fencing, while at the same time Sc
curing and promoting the settlement
Of the country. In some places it may
be that the tracts Of range adjacent to
the homesteads Of actual settlers
should be allotted to them severaIly or
in common for the summer grazing of
their stock. Elsewhere it may be that
lease system would serve the pur.
pose, the leases to be temporary and
subject to the rights Of settlement
and the amount charged being large
enough merely to permit of the eff
Gent and beneficial control Of the
range by the government and Of the
payment to the county Of the equiva-
lent Of what 1t would otherwise re-
ceive in taxes. The destruction of the
public range will continue until some
such laws as these are enacted. Fully
to prevent the fraud in the public lands
which through the joint action of the
interior department and the depart
| ment of justice we have been endeav-
oring to prevent there must be further
legislation and especially a sufficient
appropriation to permit the department
of the interior to examine certain class
es Of entries on the ground before they
pass into private ownership. The gov
eminent should part with it's title
only to the actual homemaker, not to
the profit maker who does not care to
make a home. Our prime object Is to
! secure the rights and guard the inter
ests' of the small ranchman, the man
who plows and pitches hay for him
self. 1t is this small ranchman. this
actual settler and homemaker, who in
the long run is most hurt by permit
ting thefts of the public land in what
ever form.

FOREST RESERVATIONS.
They Should Be Vastly Increased to
Conserve Resources.

Optimism Is good characteristic,
but If carried to an excess it becomes
foolishness. We are prone to speak Of
the resources Of this country as mex
haustible. This is not so. The mineral
wealth Of the country, the coal, iron,
oil, gas and the like, does not repro
duce itself and therefore is certain to
be exhausted ultimately, and wastefui-
ness In dealing with it today means
that our descendants viii feel the ex-
haust1on 8 generation OF two before
they otherwise would. But there are
certain other forms Of waste which
could be entirely stopped. - The waste
OF soil by washing, for instance, which
e among the most dangerous OF all
wastes now, In progress in the United
States, is easily preventable, so that
this present enormous loss Of fertility
is entirely unnecessary. The preserva-
ton or replacement of the forests is
&one Of the most important medns of
preventing this loss. We have made a.
beginning In forest preservation. but it
Is only a beginning. At present lum-
5berfng is the fourth greatest industry
In the United States, and yet so rapid
has been the rate of exhaustion Of tim
her In the United States In the past
and so rapidly is the remainder being
exhausted that the country is unques-
shonably on the verge Of a timber fam
inc which will be felt In every house
hold in the land. There has already
been rise in the price OF lumber, but
there is certain to be a more rapid and
heavier rise Ii the future. The present;
annual consumption Of lumber Is GER
.tainly three times as great as the an
nual outgroWth, and IL the consump-
ton and growth continue unchanged

SULTAN'S DEATH REPORTED

Paris, August 28.-In announcing the governments attitude on the Moroccan question, Premier Clemenceau declared today that General Drude, the French commander, would be given all the troops he needed to carry out the mis- sion with which he was charged.
 The announcement was made in tho course of the first cabinet meeting held slnce the Moroccan crisis has arisen. M. Clemenceau did not explain the or ders to the general. but said the gov ernment had propounded a number oi questions to the French commander who had not yet answered them.
 M. Clemenceau further stated at the cabinet meeting today that the govern ment had no confirmation of the rumor that the Sultan of Morocco had been assassinated and also was ignorant of the real purpose of Mulai Hafg, the sultans brother, who recently was pro- claimed sultan at Morocco City.
 The premier discussing the strength of the French forces in Morocco said General Drude had more troops than he had asked for. adding

 "Do?" said Marshall Why, sir, m going to Congress-
 He returned to Richmond and began hfs canvass. The republicans (noW the democrats) nominated John Clopton on a states rights platform. In those days the formality of voting was quite different from the latter day procedure. A citizen would walk up to the election sheriff In full view and hearing or everybody, shake hands with him, and say: .,
 "I vote for John Marshall" or Il vote for John Clopton. as the case might be. There were two persons in Richmond in whom the people had great confidence. They were Parson Blair and Parson Buchanan. Neither had been in the habit of voting or taking any part in politics. but Parson Blalr' who was a stanch friend of Marshall. persuaded Parson Buchanan to go to the polls with him, assuming, as a mat 4a~ os cc,rse that his fellow parson agreed with him as to choice of can ,.,ta.es. Parson Blair cast his vote TOT Marshall. Then Parson Buchahan stepped up, saluted the sheriff, and said
 q vote for John Clopton.
 There was a numerous family here then whose surnames was Enroughty. lust as Parson Buchanan pronounced Clopton his choice a large delegation of the Enroughtys put In their appear ance.
 What is good for the parson is good for us," they declared and all or them voted for Clopton. This elected Clop- ton and defeated Marshall The two par sons were never very good friends after that
