MT. Mellen's Comment When Asked Concerning Recent Charge of Rev. MT.
 Mcfarland.
RECALLS AN OLD
 SPANISH PROVERB
Pastor Asks a Plain Cues ton of the Editor and Receives a Plain
 Answer.

President Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad on being asked last evening by a Journal and Courier representative what he thought of the Rev. Charles s. Mac farland's remarks before the General Association of Connecticut in this city last Tuesday evening apropos of he, Mellen, being the conscience of the state of Connecticut" said he did not propose to make any comment.
 The situation presented put him, he said, in mind of the Spanish proverb which he encountered in a southwest ern experience and which was to the eff feet that 1t was waste of father to shave an ass"
 The statement credited to Mir. Mac farland and printed in this paper last Wednesday follows:
 "The Connecticut commonwealth Is living under the conscience of Charles s. Mellen, and that ministers and re- formers have great field in Connec- ticut, where the majority of the upper house of the legislature Is so controlled by the New Haven road that no reform measure can pass through this session"
 Yesterday the following letter was received from Mir. Mcfarland, who was formerly of this city, but is now of South Norwalk:
 South Norwalk. June IA, 1907. To Editor of the Journal and Courier
 I have read with interest your editor- ial with reference to my recent address to the General Association of Connec- ticut at New Haven, in which you ex- press pain and surprise at my incident al and illustrative reference with rela- ton to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, and it's influence on legislation.
 I do not think you make yourself quite so clear as I die, and I should like to ask you to give an explicit an- swer to this question: Do you declare your belief that the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad has not exercised an undue and excessive infiu- ence in obtaining and preventing legis- lation? Sincerely yours, a

Hints to Horsemen.

There is nothing like oats to give snap to a horse. For this reason oats are almost the exclusive grain diet of driving horses. It is well known that oats possess some prop erty that excites as well as nourishes animals. The blow horse can be fed corn with some advantage, but the driving horse, the colts and the brood mares should be given more whole oats and less corn.
 In Norway every horse has a bucket of water beside his manager and as he eats, he drinks also. It is interesting to see how the Norwe- gian horses relish their water with their meals. Now they sip little from the bucket, now they eat 8 mouthful, then another sip, then another mouthful. just like rational human beings. You never see a broken winded horse in Norway and the natives sayit is because they serve water to the animals with their eed.-Arkansas Homestead.

SOnE EVERY DAY PHILOSOPHY

Getting old feels like having spring fever all the year round.
 Some women don't care how a thing looks if it is the style.
 Some people borrow trouble; others buy it by the glass or bottle.
 Some girls think the tighter they pinch their waists. the prettier they are.
 Two men are nearly always braver than one, even if one of them has cold feet.
 If boy earns ten cents, he wants it; he isn't willing to trust the best man alive.
 Longevity never seems to trouble the man whose hobby is trying new patent medicines.
 There is never much kicking about the rules of the game by those who happen to win.
 A good many of the people who are perfectly harmless are also per fectly worthless. When two. friends get mad, each begins to think how much he has done for the other.
 The aggressive man is usually only polite way of referring to your quarrelsome friend.
 Women seem to try about every thing for their complexions except the rules of health. There are few disappointments equal to an onion favored kiss from good looking girl.
 A man with a bad reputation seems considerably less likely to lose it than the man with good name l A girl always places the proper age at which she thinks people should marry. at about year ahead of her own.

 Any woman who will bring up a disagreeable subject when her hus- band is good natured, would light a match to find a gas leak.
 About half the pleasure of a vaca- tion is in looking forward to It; there is also some pleasure in return ing to work after it is over.
 The great demand is for wives without kin. A man does hate to marry a woman and have two or three members of her family thrown in.
 Occasionally man dies who IS so ornery that most of the sympathy lavished upon the mourners IS due the preacher who has to think up nice things to say about him.

 Once upon time woman set date to leave home on a visit. The week before she left, her baby broke out with the measles, her husband broke leg and she burned one hand so badly that it had to be bandaged. But she went just the same.

 AN ARKANSAS NATIONAL FOR on. EST RESERVE.

 lHS ulSpdeShs s-G~ rrnio,, iC The Star telling of the withdraWss, of eos, ,000 acres of land from entry in Polk and Montgomery counties to be held as a national forest reserve will create considerable stir among lumber circles in the counties named.
 The intent of this action is to preserve the forests now remaining for the use of the people of the section effected, and to prevent their destruction at the hands of lumber companies, under much the same regulations as have long since been adopted by European countries. It is also done to save the country from the irreparable damage result ing from the lack of rainfall that in- variable follows the destruction of the forests.
 It is said that any large trees that show signs of decay, and any fallen timber, will be sold at reasonable prices to any who care to purchase, and any farmer or resident who has need for any tree or trees on the reserve for his own use may secure same free of cost by application tc the government agents, but no on' will be allowed to cut trees for mar ket purposes.
 Guards win be employed by the government to protect the forests against destruction by timber thieve: and from fires, and to have sucl other supervision over same IS | deemed necessary for their preser' vation.
 This is a measure that is being taken in many parts of the United States, and meets with little or no op position save by the big lumber com panies, that have grown rich by tn destruction of the nations forests il
 past years. ~
 Bat very small part of tn : money made from the lumber busi ness is left among the people wh' ! sell the trees, and the taking up O claims by mill hands and agents act ing solely for big lumber companle
 has been the source of a tremendou ! amount of rascality. and the estab lishment of forest reserves is a effective way to put an end to it.

Extra Good Risks.

A great life insurance company has instructed its agents by circular: Christian Scientists are as a class extra good risks, and should be so- licited." l" Now that must mean eted 10 force or pressure. qf. any U st some1lisfig, a1ia Says the Burlington, Hawk-Eye, edited by deacon of the Methodist church. It is founded upon some vital principle. A peace ful mind, faith, hope and content ment-these are regarded as con- ducive to health and longevity. When great corporation whose purpose is to make money, accepts that statement as a truth and ad- justs it's financial interests accord ingly, the hard-headed, practical man cannot very well ignore the fact. The conclusion is, not that everyone should become a Christian Scientist in his religious faith, but that the qualities and habits which produce such beneficent results ought to be fostered. Industry, sobriety, generous impulses, faith in God and man, service for others these are all attributes of happiness and long life.

A Wholesome PhiIosonhy.

Absolute honesty and a definite aim Will often produce better results without unusual intellectual gifts oi opportunity than the keenest intel. lect can attain without these moral qualities. It would be an easy thing to quote cases of noted men and women in whom defects of charac- ter have practically nullifed the most conspicuous intellectual gifts.
 A philosophy of life is not what we think about life, but the convictions which govern our actions. It has well been called the working hy- pothesis of life" Since well direct ed power is the measure of success, 1t IS within the reach of every hu- man being.

NO PREMlUrlS WILL BE S0-
 LIGHTED.

There is said to be a misunder- standing in some quarters in regard to the plan for conducting the pro posed fair by the association this year as to securing premiums. The association as now in process of for ms stion will provide all premiums to be offered for the various classes of exhibits, except as any person or persons may choose to offer any special premium of their own yoli- tion.
 It may be properly said that the present plan of organization was designed to do away with the meth cd used in past years of securing the financial support through asking donations, it being felt that the city and fair had outgrown the stage where such course was necessary, and, furthermore that many who had so loyally supported the move ment by free donations in the past would prefer to see the fair on a more substantial and business basis, take stock in the same and know each year just what was to be ex- pected of them, and in the end see the fair entirely self-supporting.

Probably many of the other com pines can read their fate in that of the drug trust. By decree of the United States court of the Indiana district the drug trust has been perpetually enjoined from continu- ing it's operations. There were ninety-two defendants in the case, and all of these are perpetually re- strained from combining and con- spring to impede the sale of drugs. to fix prices for them, and to black list retailers who cut the prices or to refuse to sell to any retailers on equal terms with the others.
 In this, as in several other cases against the combines, the govern ment has gained a sweeping victory. The decree which was entered was dictated by the governments at torneys, and blacklisting and the

What is a Boxcarl

In connection with the present general scarcity or cars oyer all railroads in thus territory a clip ping describes a boxcar as fol- lows:
 "A boxcar belongs to the fowl family. During the spring and summer months it can be found in nearly every part of the coun- try, its favorite haunts being railway tracks, and it is easy to capture. In the autumn, however. like certain other fowls, 1t goes into hibernation or flies 70 other chimes. Scattered instances are known where specimens are cap- tured during the autumn months. A lasso or well-greased switch crew IS sometimes used in snarlnp the boxcar, but main strength is the best weapon. In any case the hunter must be very wary as any doise like the fluttering of a waybill will make the quarry dis appear. Some railways own large flocks of domestlcated boxcars. but they are carefully guarded during the closed season. The wild boxcar, when caught and fairly we'll loaded, becomes sta tionary."
