Washington, Dec. 19.-The timber
schedule was again under discussion
before the house ways and means COM
mittee for q short time today. II. H.
Tiff, Of Tifton, Ga, who appeared at
the request Of the committee, said the
creation of forest reserves by the gov
ernment had had the effect of increasing
the price of stumpage. He declared the
government gets the highest prices for
what 1t sells. Tiff asked that the lun-
her schedule be left undisturbed; say
ing free entry of lumber would tend to
/ conserve American forest and that con-
sumers probably would get no benefit
In the way ofA reduced prices. He
admitted that he would be satisfied
with the retention of the tariff on low
grades Of lumber.

A FINE LESSON.

ready to take the part Of student Of

school which President Elliott, OF
Harvard, has just taught Mr. Roose-

t. have the authorities of Harvard
rescind their action toward two stu
dents who had been guilty Of iishon-
Orable conduct. This action had re-
suited in the dropping Of two mem
bers of the Harvard crew just ON the
eve Of their annual meet with Yale.

President Roosevelts request, saying
that ga keen aud sure sense of honor

a statement. What means the pres

imposed fines when the poor must
pay before leaving the court room or

meat magnates reduce the price of
cattle, and at the same time increase
the price Of meat i'm the markets Of the
land? What means il when on the
grain exchange the price Of grain
grown by our farmers is regulated not
in obedience 10 laws Of supply and de
mand, but at the demands of the god
of greed? What means it that the
National banking law should discredit
aud distrust the earth upon which the
banks are built and out Of which the
nations wealth has been dug? What
means the millions wasted in the /
Philippines when the public roads of
America are shamefully neglected! /
What means the fact that neither /
Congress or convention will agree 10 /

organizations of dishonesty which are
abroad in the land and Of whose exis-
tence no man is better advised than

dishonest, nor is the meaning of the

WHAT REPUsLIcANscAN TEACH US.

The Republican party can teach the
Democrats lesson that will be Of
more value to them than any plank
they may insert in their platform.
Whatever may be the differences
between Republicans, however bitter
different features may be toward one
another before nomination comes of.
these differences Immediately fade
away and the iactional lines are oblit-
Grated so soon the majority fixes on
a candidate. by their loyalty To party
whether the issues be material or not,
victory often perches ON the standard
Of the Republicans and defeat as often
sits brooding in the Democratic camp.
Democrats get into line.

Hunting in the Philippines.


There are several varieties of deer in
the Philippines: one kind like our COM
mon deer and another kind like the Vir-
ginia spotted deer. The Igorrotes hunt
them mostly on runways. The hunter
hides along the trail, and when the deer.
driven by the dogs. passes by, he spears
it. BY stretching a string or line OF
peeled bamboo across the runway, the
deer will be turned aside and will follow
the line for an opening BY this means
the hunters divert the animal into the
course they wish him to take. Another
method used in Luzon Is to surround a
deer feeding in a patch of timber or ''co-
gon'' grass, then to encircle the place
with a tremendous net and narrow the cir
Gle until the animal can be speared.
In Mindanao they have the method. not
unfamiliar to us, called shining 'em. :"
The hunter goes out at night with a
miners lamp and reflector on his hat, and
with this searchlight creeps cautiously
along the trail sweeping the brush on
either side. The light will catch a deer's
eye at hundred yards and will show 1t
up like the bull's-eye on target. The
deer is overpowered with curiosity. and If
the hunter makes no noise he can ap-
proach the animal to within twenty paces
entirely unseen. Experts can tell a deer's
eye from the eyes of all other beasts, but
/ heard of one man being soon convinced
that he wasn't an expert, when he found
the body of his horse on the spot where
he had fired at a deer's eye.
