purpose and use" II is the object of
this publication to explain just what
The National Forests mean. what they
are for, and how 10 use them.

their boundaries are drawn. Next.
their direct use and value are shown
from the point Of view of the home
seeker. the prospector and miner, the
user Of timber. the user of the range.
the rser of water, and the users OF
forest resources. Third, II is shown
how tho Forests are intended for
use, for the production Of disable pro
ducts. and for the establishment and
of homes: how on All Of
them the timber Is protected fro.n
fire. the water flow is KEEP steady. the
forage on the range Is increased
and guarded from abuse: and how. IN
they serve as great public
and as breeding places
and refugees for game Finally. tho
Of the National Forest
is described
Here II is that the great usefulness
Of the Forests Is brought ont most
clearly and strikingly. for the For
ests are managed by the people 10
their own interests. and evry means
is used to meet the desires and wants
Of all Forest users half way by deal
ing with them in the main directly ON

a senator's wife whose husband has
been in office six years cannot demean
herself by calling first on the wife OF
one who has only served his country
three years.
The senatorial and congressional
records are called in requisition and
lists made out and the length of time
men have held office noted. The
house members are not as exactlne
and a little more license is permitted
them, but still an immense amount OF
form is necessary to steer clear OF the

inclination to go the rounds seems to
prove the point.
1t is understood that young Grant
has no money beyond his pay. He is
first lieutenant of engineers and his
wage is about $125 a month. He gets
an allowance for quarters, however,
provided he is on detached duty where
there are no army quarters. The gov
ernment will give him and his wife
three rooms to live in, or if he Is away
from an army post it will give him the
equivalent of the rent Of three rooms.
1t is said that Edith Root, although
the daughter of rich man, Is per
fectly capable Of keeping house in
three rooms, and keeping house there
contentedly.
Lieut. Grant has an enormously
wealthy aunt, who lives part Of the
time in Chicago, but he has no expec-
tations from her, and he is too much
of Grant to take anything il 1t were
offered. Elihu Roots father was a
college professor who was earning
about $500 year, perhaps less, when
Elihu was boy.
1t isn't at all probable that he will
contribute largely to the household
funds of his future son-inlaw. He
doubtless would prefer to let the
young couple go it alone for some time
to come. This wedding promises to be
