The Rainy Diary.

A young girl was looking over her
diary for the old year. Suddenly she
exclaimed, What rainy year last
year must have been, mother. 1t
seems as if my diary just overfows
with rain, rain, rain. Hear this: "A
rainy day, More rain, 'stOrmed all
day "A shut-in day on account OF
rain, Showers, Cold rain Rain and
slush. So 1t goes. Isn't it funny1
And yet 1t doesn't seem to have been
such stormy year, as l look back. "
"Have you found any reference at
all to sunny weather in your diary,
Mabel ?" asked her mother.
Moo, l can say that have, re-
piled the girl, hesitatingly.
"You see, you have taken all the
pleasant days for granted, dear, said
her mother, smilingly. "YOu don't
mention the sunny days, but when
there comes an occasional day Of rain,
you are always careful to enter COM
plant in your diary. Is that quite
fair ?"
mo, no-of course not j. cried the
girl. But, really. l never thought
of it in that way. | see now that the
reason why 1 mentioned the rainy
DAYS was because they came so rarely
not because they came 50 frequently.
1t was simply their not coming very
often that remin led me to put them
down. The sunny days came 20 reg
ular that l never thought to speak Of
them"
There is something for you to bear
in mind through life, dear" her moth
er reminded her. In just the same
way, our blessings Of every kind so
exceed our trials that we do not think
to give our heavenly father credit for
them. We take our Iunumersble dai.
ly blessings for granted, but when
anything goes wrong, what a cry Of
complaint we use ! There may be no
more than half day Of showers in a
fortnight Of sunshine, but it goes into
our book Of memory, whereas ell the
sunny days get not line Of mention.
Think Of that, my dear, when you are
tempted to grumble or find fault With
your lot"

west Virginia Enters Upon Forest Work.

West Virginia is the latest of the
States to take up forestry work. A
school to take forestry has been open
ed as branch of the State University
at Morgautown. Coincident with
this, State association has been
formed to study and promote tree
planting and woodland protection.
The membership consists, for the
most part, Of men connected with
oranges and agricultural societies in
all parts of the State. In addition to
this, the State Board of Trade has ap-
pointed committee to draft forest
law and outline a policy which will
be laid before the Legislature for ac-
tion next year.
West Virginia is peculiarly prom
ising field for this wrok. Seventy
FIVE per cent of its area is wooded, and
for climatic reasons, and from the ma.
ture of the soil, much Of it can never
become agricultural land, but will
grow timber of great value. Cone
bearing trees flourish on the noun
tain tops, many of which rise above
1000 feet, and broadleaf species cover
the lower slopes. One of the finest
hardwood regions of the whole coun-
try lies in this State,
The wooded mountains feed the
tributaries OF several important rivers,
some of which, as the Monongahela,
Youghiogheny, Cheat, Little Kama
wha, Great Ksnawhs, Guyandotte,
and Big Sandy flow to the Ohio and
supply the chief portion Of the water
which carries the commerce of that
great stream, while others, as the
branches of the Potomac, flow to the
Atlantic.
Until very recently West Virginia,
like many other States, had done little
for it's enormously valuable forests.
A FIRE law, with no one to execute it,
was about all. But there is now pros
pect of a vigorous policy.
The proposed Southern Appalachian
National Forests, if established, will
occupy some of the more important
submits, leaving the tanks of the
mountains and the steep slopes of less.
er ranges for the State to care for and
protect. Wasteful numbering and the
semi annual forest fires have already
barred large areas where woods are
of the greatest importance in main
tanning an even flow in rivers which
rise in West Virginia bur which have
much to do with tho prosperity OF
other States.

Alas, Poor Piggiel
RICHMOND, Va,

RICHMOND, VA,
Feb. l7th, 1908.
DEAR Mr.. EDIToR.-If it is not
asking you too much, and not taking
up too mush space in your valuable
paper, 1 would like to tell you about
my loss. Last September l was up
at WheatlRnd and spent a few days
with nv Aunt Minnie FeaganI.
When left she gave me little pig
con, and l named it Piggie, and it be-
came one Of the most sensible little
birds, ever saw. When sister and |
were at school Papa and Winfred at
work and Mama BY herself, it would
talk (you know in its way and run up
and down stairs with Mama. 1t would
go out in the back yard and in the
street, and when night came it would
Ay up to the window and We would let
him in for the night.
One day last week gentleman
came through the street taking pic
lures Mama, Matte and l were on
the front poarch ready to have our
pictures made when Of course he came
out after Us, and we had his picture
taken with Us. Yesterday morning
when we came from church / found
him lead in the back yard, | learned
that 4 niger boy who saw him out on
the street struck him with stone and
killed him. So you can imagine how
sad l have been, for l just thought the
world Of him, and today l feel like
have lost q friend.
If you see Uncle Marvin Knott he
will tell you what a nice little bird be
was. I hope 1 have not taken toe
much space, as want all my frisnd'
up in old Jefferson county to know o.
my loss.
Yours sincerely,
JULIET REsEER.
