told of wealthy SpeCulator of Wall
street who is nOtoriously stingy. When
he smokes, which is seldom, he re-
strlcts himself to black tive-cent ci
gar. During recent slump in the
market this tinancier walked into the
Astor house cigar store, pulled hand.
ful Of 50-Cent cigars from a box lying
on the counter, twisted them into
pieces and threw them on the floor.
When the cigar dealer stated that the
charge would be $3.50 he stood aghast
with horror and denied all knowledge
OF the affair. 1t was with difficulty
that he was convinced he had crushed
five hieh-prced Havanas for his lapse
into absent mindednoss.
Then it was told of a Wall street
broker who went into restaurant, ate
a hurried meal and walked up to the
cashiers counter TO pay his check He
went through his pockets one by one,
but to his astonishment failed TO find
any money. He was forced to tell the
cashier, who was a stranger, that the
price of the meal would have to be
charged to him. The cashier, who was
good fellow, laughed and said, "All
right, but you might leave the napkin
behind" He left the restaurant won,
dering what could have become of his
money, as he was certain that he had
some change in his clothes when he
left the office. Mentally he went back
over his course and remembered that
he had stopped at stationery store to
buy some stamps. Tie sought out the
place and asked tho clerk II he had
left and change behind when he had
purchased the stamps Yes" said the
clerk, you left a whole bunch OF It
here. We tried to call you back, bu;
you rushed cut before we could reach
you" He handed over the change to
the broker, who thanked him and
started out Don't YOU want to take
tho stamps" called the clerk 1t
therefore developed that not only had
he gone out without his change but
without the stamps he had paid for.

NEWSPAPERS FAST EATING
UP OUR SPRUCE FORESTS

r HE rapidity with which the news
/ paper IS eating up the American
spruce forests has caused some alarm
among officials of the government,
who have been looking into the thing,
The conversion of spruce timber into
paper is going on at the rate Of 1865.
900 feet for every working day In the
year. And most Of this timber Is cut
in the United States, although few
wood pulp logs are imported from
Canada.
During 1905 the newspaper demand
alone consumed 900, 900 tons Of manu-,
factured white paper. This was one,
third of the output Of all the paper
mills in the country. To make it re.
quired an army of $4,000 men, who
drew $9,000,000 in wages. The mills
used raw material amounting to 1,300,-
600 cords
The present tariff on lumber causes
this enormous drain to fall almost en-.
tirely upon the forests of the United
States. 1t has been suggested that
it would be wise political and eco.
nomic move TO remove this lumber
duty, and let the paper mills begin to
eat into the almost limitIess forests Of
Canada.
Incidentally the price of paper
would drop some, and the paper trust
would not have quite the monopoly or
affairs which it has today
Increased size Of newspapers and
magazines is laid by government ex.
perts to the Introduction of the type
setting machine.
During the 25 years from 1880 To
1905 the number of newspapers and
periodicals of all classes in the United
States practically doubled. During
that time 10000 publications wers
added During the last decade the
number of morning newspapers In
creased IL per cent, while the mum

During the last 20 years the evening

newspapers in the United States, nay

FORESTRY BUREAU RULES
OVER MILLIONS OF ACRES

VWASHINGTON-The Forestry Bu-
W reau, which now administers
more acres Of land than any other
Institution in the world and Is the
landlord branch of the Federal Gov
ernment, has just compiled its report
covering statistics of grazing on the
public lands Of the great West. The
figures will give some idea of the scale
on which Uncle Sam has gone into the
land business, and are very comfort.
Ing because of their very size, for ii
the existing policy is unmolested the
vast areas of forest and mountain now
embraced in reserves will for all time
be administered in the interest of the
entire people.
There are now more than 156,000,-
900 acres of land in the national for
ests, Grazing is permitted, but under
strict regulations, made in order that
the grass may not be destroyed by
overfeeding. This, by the way, is
what has caused most of the friction
in the West. Owners of flocks and
herds in that section of the country
for years have been accustomed to
grazing without restrictions of any
kind Many of them in time came to
look upon the public domain as their
very own, in an important sense, and
they were quick to resent any effort
on the part of the government to con-
serve either forest or grazing land.
But this friction is rapidly disappear
ing, as the western people see that
without such conservation the range
and forest in time will be destroyed.
A glance at the regulations govern.
ing grazing on the government forests
will give the reader a very good idea
of the government forest policy and
how it is being administered. Stock.
men who desire to make use Of the
range apply for permits stating the
kind Of stock they have, the quantity
of it and the location of the range they
want The forest officers then proceed
to make allotments, appOrtioning the
available pasture among the appli-
Cants on as equitable a basis as prac-
tiCable.

able to make a speed Of 40 miles ar

CINE must be stout enough to climb

crease their speed to 25 per cent
above normal, or, in other words, to
make so miles an hour. The car must
burn ordinary stove gasoline and have
a capacity to go 125 miles at full
speed and load 1t is the purpose Of
the commission to place these cars

MORE MONEY NEEDED TO
FINISH BRANCH LIBRARIES

Al EW YORK-Ncw York finds the
~ magnificent gift of s. 100000 made
by Andrew Carnegie to build IS branch

enough. At the time the gift was made
In 1901, 1t was supposed that number

vide the reading public for many

branches have been completed and the
commission in charge of the work is

OF branches 100 instead of rs
The figures give some idea of the
growth of the great metropolis in the
past six years. BY the end of next
year SO of the new Carnegie branch
buildings will be ready for use. About
the same time the funds provided by
Mr.. Carnegie will be nearing cXhaus-
tion. The sum of S., 200, 900 was given
by Mr. Carnegie after the library trus-
tees had figured what would he need
ed to equip every section of New York
with branch library. But the ad.
vance in building materials has put
the figures of the estimate completely
to the bad. Certain 1t Is that the sum
will come far short of finishing the
7S buildings first proposed and accord.
Ing to the revised estimates twenty.
two more will b" needed
Where the money IS to come from
has not yet been determined, but New
York feels certain Mr. Carnegie viii
not allow the work to lag for want of
funds The additional twenty two
buildings proposed will not be needed
for some years yet and in the mean
time the completion OF the first rs
Will be pushed forward and those re-
naming to be located and erected will
be placed where they will accommodate
the largest percentage Of the popula
tton. A year from now the building
commission expects TO be able to
furnish Mr., Carnegie with a complete
report showing just what has been
done and what is TO be done The
great philanthropist Is expected to
take the hint and the commission feels
little doubt that few more millions
Will be made available Immediately If
they arc needed.

Better Than Medicine.
Breathe Hyomers Tonic Healing and
be Cured of Catarrh.

Breathe Hyomers Tonic Healing and
be Cured of Catarrh,
Nature has remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dos
ing the stomach with medicine.
1t is the healing oils and balsams of
Hyomei which medicates the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs,
killing all catarrhal germs, and restor-
ing health to the mucous membrane.
In using Hyomei You are treating
your catarrhal troubles with the only
natural remedy, for it gives curative
air bath to the air passages that has
as powerful healing and antiseptic
effect as that found in the mountains
where the pine forests give off their
fragrant and healing balsams.
Breathe the invigorating and heal
ing Hyomei, and see how quickly you
will get relief from your catarrhal
troubles. G. A. Parcher has seen so
many cures, even of the worst cases
OF catarrh, with offensive breath,
raising of mucous, frequent sneezing,
oroppings in the throat and spasmodic
coughing, that they feel warranted in
selling Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money if it..
GOES not do all that is claimed for it
ne takes all the risk.
