FOREST ETHICS.
Put Out Your Campfire Yourself ard
Plant a New Tree.

Be sure to put out your camp
fire before YOU abandon it in the
morning to take up the tray. DO
not leave the task for one of your
camp servants, not even for your
guide, whose interest in keeping the
woods free,of devastatinSfres, being
matter of bread and butter, is
therefore the keenest Of any of your
camp followers, but who, none the
less, is apt to be careless. See to it
yourself. Leave no smoldering back
log of the nights friendly fire"
Leave no smoking Goals that have
served to broil SO deliciously) the
breakfast trout, for such relics so
often are famed into the tiny flame
which, feeding upon nearby leaves
or moss or bush twigs, grows within
two days to a devouring blaze that
consumes acres of forest before its
whitening touch is stayed If you
are close to a brook use its water
plentifully. and if water is scarce
knock the live ends of the larger
sticks until not a spark is left and
scrape dirt over all the coals-not
few handfuls of dust that the
wind may scatter at its first breath,
but dirt that will bury and
smother.
No doubt my average reader
thinks | am writing a lot to deliver
one small message, but let him con-
slider that hundreds of acres of for
rest land, worth thousands, measured
by dollars, and Of inestimable re-
sources of the country, are annual
ly destroyed from just such insig-
nifcant beginnings as the campfire
which was not put out beyond the
power of the passing breeze to re-
suscitate. Therefore the warning
appeal cannot be too important
since we as a nation are using up
from three to four times as much
wood every year as the country is
producing.
Two worthy exhibits of genuine
Americanism are, first, not to add
to forest destruction by carelessly
leaving fire around, and, second, al
ways to plant a new tree-young
tree-for every one you destroy.
And plant it where it will do the
most good.-Outing Magazine
Lexington gazette. [volume] (Lexington, Va.) 1871-1962, 1907-12-04
Run Them TO Skin and Bone.

A New Yorker who sometimes
varies his horseback riding by tax
ing trips through the rail fence belt
Of Long Island noticed on one such
trip a farmer sitting dejectedly on
one such fence. At the farmers
feet was a litter of little pigs SO
thin they gave the impression Of
having but one dimension.
"What happened the squealerS?"
the rider asked.
The farmer beckoned him to come
close, then hoarsely whispered: "Lost
my voice. Them was the latest
pigs ! ever seen. ! used to come
out and call 'em to me and feed 'em
three times day. Lost my voice
and had to call 'em to grub by rap
ping with my stick on the fence.
See? Now the darn woodpeckers is
driving them pigs crazy" - New
Lexington gazette. [volume] (Lexington, Va.) 1871-1962, 1907-12-04
Charqed Up to Him.

The proprietor of the celebrated
mountain inn was showing the new
guest the beautiful surroundings.
"Ah, these cliffs" said the pro-
prietor rapturously. "In an cleo
trical storm they are awe inspiring.
The next time storm rises see that
YOU are standing on the porch OF
the inn. Why, sir, the air is always
heavily charged"
81 don't doubt it," laughed the
new guest, winking at another late
arrival, "and if don't happen to
be standing on the porch | can feel
assured that it will be heavily charg-
ed anyway-on my bill. "-Chicago

Mirrors For lnValids.

"If you have sick friend who
can't get out of bed for awhile and
want to provide entertainment for
her." said the woman Of experience,
"give her a hand mirror. Nothing
else is quite so fascinating. Often
the bed may be placed with the head
toward the window so the patient
gets no glimpse out of it, but II size
has a mirror it is all reflected for
her. She can catch a sunbeam IN
the edge of it or count the clouds
as they float past. She can inspect
all the furniture in the room, and II
she is alone in a hospital she can
find company in looking at herself;
1t is the most entertaining ana
harmless thing YOU could possibly
give her."-New Yerk Press.

Proof Not Necessary.

As General Benjamin F. Butler
entered the lobby of the Boston
statehonse one morning he saw two
men whom he knew engaged in a
heated argument. zone moment,
general" said one Of them to him.
"Can't you settle disputeS We
are arguing as to who is the great
est lawyer in Massachusetts, and as
we can't agree we will leave 1t to
YOU"
"That's easy. | am" said Butler,
with perhaps more truth than mod
esty.
The two men were somewhat TAX
en- aback.
'Er-er-but, general, of course
you know-but-but-h can
we prove 1T" the first speaker man
aged to get out.
"Prove it? Prove it," growled
Butler. "You don't have to prove

A Ready Reply.

1t was on a P. and o. liner, and
the stewards were being drilled IN
waiting at table. In the course Of
the drill they lined up outside the
saloon with empty dishes, supposed
to contain curry and rice, and on a
bell being rung marched to their
respective tables and protfered the
dish to each seat containing an i'm
aginary diner. The eagle eye of
the purser noticed that one steward,
a cockney named Bill, deliberately
passed one of the seats without
proffering the dish. He strobe up to
the table, and his manner betokened
trouble for Bill.
"Hi, you! What do you mean by
missing that seat?"
ooh, that's all right, sir" replied

lates. Every few minutes she would
pass the box around to her mother
and her mothers visitors. "What
a dear little thing~ exclaimed one
of them. ."She is the very soul Of

knows that every time she passes
the box around she'll get one her
self. She knows l won't scold much
so long as she is passing her sweet
meats around to Others" - Elk
