But he did not marry Kate. There
was long, steep terrace, and one
day she pushed him down it, and he
fell, bruised and weeping, against the
fence at the bottom and when he
tried to scale the heights above him,
she pushed him back again and again,
laughing at his tears and hooking
him until his admiration was swal-
lowed up by his rage, and he remem-
bered Dorothy as he had seen her last,
pensive and fair, looking wistfully
upon him as he played in the early
moonlight before her window; and
he longed to go back to her, but he
could not, for Dorothy was sick and
could see no one. 1t was early autumn
when she died, and for weeks he re-
membered her as he had seen her last
at the window. He was faithful to
her long, long time, and carried a
keepsake in his pocket at which he
often looked, and he felt he could
never again be anyone's beau.
His heart was weary of love, and his
limbs ached with growing pains. He

Mexico's Poor Wheat Supply.

Writing from Saltillo, Consul Thorn
as W. Voetter says that on account of
the poor Mexican wheat crop har-
vested in 1907 about all the wheat
raised has now been gre "a and the
mills will shut down. The supply of
flour on hand is not sutfi cient to last
until the new crop is harvested, and
millers there are DESTROYS that the fed
eral government should reduce or take
off completely the import duties on
wheat, but so far as known no con
certed effort has been made to secure
THIS action. One of the mills in Sal
tillo has for several moths past been
grinding wheat from the Argentine re
public, which was imported at the
period when the government last re-
duced the import duties on wheat.

INCREASED REVENUES.

In addition to the benefits secured
oy fire protection and by regulations
which control the use of timber-Iand
and range so as to insure permanent
supplies for local wants, the states
having National Forests now receive
under the new Agricultural Appro,ri-
alton Bill, 25 per cent of the gross pro-
ceeds derived from the sale of National
Forest resources. This amount. ae-
cording to law, goes to offset any loss
es to the states through withdraw of
forest areas from taxation, and is de-
voted to public roads and schools.
Several years ago complaints were
made that the withdraw of timber
lands for forest purposes reduced the
taxable areas of the states in which
Withdrawals were made. The Forest
Service, quick to see the Justice of
these complaints, recommended at first
that 10 per cent, and later that 95 per
cent OF the gross proceeds from the
National Forests should be paid to the
states. As result, the states are as
sured of school and road funds, doubt
less more certainly than they other
wise could have been, since the perm
anence of the forest resources is now
secured by conservative management.
Had the forests never been establish
ed their resources would undoubtedly
have been exhausted by hasty and inn
provident methods of exploitation,
leaving the land wasted and unpro-
duetive.
