value as a protective covering. An
other distinct advantage of the sys-

cured his permit, is sure of being able
to get the material from the locality
assigned to him without interference
from other people.
Very little change in the handling of

This branch of the work of the forest
service gives good evidence of the fact
that the aim in the administration of
the forest reserves is to aid in the

DEAD WOOD IS THUS SOFTEN RID OF

The government during the past
year has furnished $4,000 worth of
timber to settlers and ranchers in or
near the reserves, without charge. One
of the regulations of the forest SER
vice provides that legitimate appli-
cants may secure what timber they
need by. what is conviently called the
free use privilege. Fifteen thousand
permittees in this way obtained tim
Der to supply their wants.
From these figures it may readily be
seen that the settlers are securing
very material assistance without cost
from the forest reserves. At the same
time, the free-use business has been
so handled that the material taken out
has improved the condition of the for

which were suppressed, diseased or
from other cause no longer in a con-
dition for further growth. In this way
the ranchers secured material which
they desired, and at the same time the
forest was left stocked with the thrift
test trees, whose chance to develop
will be unhindered.
Free Use in West.
The greatest amount of free use was
on those reserves which lie in the
semi parts of the west, where
there is least timber. On number of
reserves the value of the material for
which permits We're issued exceeded
$4,000, and on the Wenaha reserve in
this state and Oregon, the Bear River
reserve in Utah and Idaho. and the
Weiser and Henrys lake reserves in
Idaho, it exceeded $4,000. If there had
been no restriction on the settlers in
securing this material, great waste
would have resulted, because the set

The free-use privilege has been
granted freely to ranchers who arr

will be reserved to supply their wants
even if this will considerably reduce
the amount of timber that can be
sold.

WHEN QUEEN KAPIOLANI
WAS ENGLAND'S ROYAL GUEST

glimpse of his royal guest, for whom
he had prepared a sumptuous throne.
AT last. when hope had fed and the
hands of the clock pointed to the witch
ing hour of night, the Queen arrived,
weary and bedra ggled, without a single
attendant and without a scrap of lug
gage. She had lost them all on the
way!
Mr. Firth, the veteran artist tells an
amusing story of the Kaiser's first visit
to England. The young Prussian
Prince, then mischievous boy Of four,
was vastly interested in the picture of
his uncles, the Prince of Wales's, we'd
ding, which Mr.. Firth was then paint
ing at Windsor, and nothing would
please him but that he too should have
a hand in it. To crafty the child the
artist gave him a brush and some col
ors and allowed him to daub away at
will at the bottom Of the canvas.
After the Juvenile artist had been at
work few minutes Mr. Firth discov-
cred to his horror that much of the
paint which should have been on the
canvas had found its way to the young
the colors of the rainbow. Selling
rag and dipping it in turpentine, Mr..
Firth began to scrub away at the be-
daubed face, while it's owner, resenting
the process, set to work on his cleaner
with feet and fists, bowling the while
at the top of his voice. At this critical
stage the door was opened and in
walked the Crown Prince and Princess,
at sight of whom the boy darted under
table, from which refuge neither
threats nor entreaties could draw him.
But certainly the most remarkable

Among the many foreign monarchs
who have visited our shores within
comparatively recent years. says Lon
don Tit-Bits, one of the most amiable
and popular was the late King of
Portugal, of whom the following story
J is told:
His Majesty. like his successor, was
an enthusiastic lover of art, and ons
OF his chief pleasures during his visit
to England was to make the acquaint-
ance of our great painters, with whose
| names and fame he was familiar. When
Sir Edwin (then Mr) Landseer was
introduced to him his delight was un-
bounded. "Ah! Mr.. Landseer," he ex-
claimed, as he advanced to greet the
famous animal painter, IT am charmed
to make your acquaintance. 1 am so
very fond of beasts"
Equally well meaning and unfortu-
nate was the late Shah of Persia, who,
in spite of his great amiability, rarely
opened his mouth without putting his
foot in it," Once, when the Duchess of
Westminster was presented to him, he
greeted her like an old and dear friend.
"Ah!' he said, with a charming bow,
Il have often heard of you. Your fame
has reached even Teheran.'' Good
gracious." exclaimed the lady, aside, to
friend. 1.-The man thinks I am West

1t was the same monarch who, when
sitting at table one day, between a
nobleman and lady of high rank,
Mortified them both by first wiping his
hands on the nobleman's coat and then

with his piety. for he would suddenly

Veteran Makes Things Merry.

Columbia, May 9.-An old soldier
feeling good from few drinks of
whiskey, made things merry in a we'll
known establishments on Blanding
street, and before the clerks in the
store realized what had happened had
broken into a show case and had
helped himself to some cutlery. He
was placed under arrest by an officer.
A young white man, seeirc,; that the
officer was about to send the old fell
low to the guard house in the patrol

carried the officer and the old fellow
to the station house. The officer
made hisreport at headquarters. The

the loss and would make things right
with the proprietors of the store, and
the old man went his way rejoicing.
