'If there's anything I hate to do it is
to hang around shop, and so 1 told
him it wasn't necessary. If he could
positively assure me that they had a
use I would take them. He assured
me, and $25 worth of the gimcracks
are now in my bureau drawer waiting
for Christmas morning."
Aren't you afraid perhaps the fellow
deceived you ?" asked the man in the
car anxiously.
"Why, no. replied the neighbor.
Look here; it stands to reason that
he wouldn't have been selling them if
they hadn't some use, doesn't it? Well,
that's the way 1 reasoned it out. They
were there in the shop to be sold, and
therefore they must be for something,
and Marie's a smart girl and she'll find
out what. You see, that is woman's
province to take something that looks
absolutely worthless and make it use

His First Love.

LIE was hiding a box of Christmas
L toys up in the attic. There was
bear that actually danced, a train of
cars made to dash madly around cir
cular track. an automobile whose
chauffeur blew a horn and grist of
other things. In finding place which
the youngster would not happen upon
he came to a battered tin relic of his
baby dayS-a much worn tin horse
mounted on four shaky wheels. 1t was
his first love. Once it glistened in all
the glory of impossible colors, and as
he caressed the bit of string dangling
from the tin platform the little steed
carried him back to the days when
trolley cars and autos and automatic
bears that dance were not
How he had poured out the wealth
of babys heart on the simple thing!
AS he grew in years he had forgotten
it. 1t was his mother who placed it at
one side and preserved it for the time
when he would care to see it again.
The days of tin horses are past. The
genius of the twentieth century must
be reflected in every toy. But as he
concealed the box under some old rugs
he took care to retain the little tin
horse, to be locked up in his desk.

Democratic Clubs.

A call has been issued by the democratic national
committee for the formation of democratic clubs in
all the voting precincts of the United States, that
organized democracy may lend its aid in carrying
the campaign for the election of Bryan and
Kern.
The call for club organization is signed by Chair
Mack and John E. Tomlinson chairman of the
committee club organization. 1t reads as follows:
Cali patriotic citizens, irrespective of party who
stand for the rule of the people against the
rupt influence of money in elections and to that end
favor publicity of the larger campaign contributions
before election as demanded by the democratic plat
form, urged to organize themselves Immediately
into campaign clubs for the presidential election.
"All organizations in sympathy are expected to
assist actively in this work The chairman of the
democratic state committee in each state is requested
to have each county and precinct committeeman
ganize campaign club in each precinct or before
the 18th day of September.
All existing organizations should meet at once
and appoint campaign committees The names and
addresses of all campaign organizations their off
and committeeman should be sent to John E.

OF yellow pine reported shows increase of IS per
cent that of 1906 In the early part of the year
many of the southern mills cut so heavily that in
spite of the curtailed output which followed the
business disturbance later the total greater than
ever before. But in both the lake states and the
northwest smaller cut reported than for 1906,
though the number of mills reporting increased.
In the lake states the falling off evidenced the
waning supply of white pine Michigan, which for
many years led all the states in lumber production
and then gave way to Wisconsin, sank in 1907 from
fourth to seventh place. while Wisconsin went from
third to fifth. Minnesota late 1905 held fourth
place Last year it went from seventh to ninth. 1t
was not until the latter COS that the south displaced
this group of states the most important source of
lumber supply. Since southern pine is abundant in all
the Atlantic coast states from the CaronaS to Texas
the region as a whole will doubtless maintain its
leading position for years in spite of the fact
that at the present rate the bulk of timber will be
gone in another decade, but in totals of production
by individual states the leadership has since 1905
been held by Washington
The figures of production show that during 1907
Washington fell off very decidedly from its huge
cut OF 1906 while its sister state Oregon is credited
with slight increase in its total In the early part
OF the year Washington suffered from car shortage
and at the end the combined effects of business dis
duStry almost to paralysis Oregon kept up its cut
because of its larger proportion of coastwise and
foreign trade. These two states together produced
more lumber than any other two states in the Union
1t IS striking fact that though lumber prices have
been steadily going up during the last half century,
the per capita consumption of lumber has also been
going up 1850, according to the best figures obtain
country $50 feet in 1900 AGO feet, and in 1907
48O feet This illustrates what has been found true
the world oVer-that with industrial progress the
demand for wood becomes greater and greater.

Trouble In New York.

President Roosevelt has repeated himself Having
before declared that Governor Hughes should be
nominated as his own successor, in concert with Mr..
Taft Mr. Hitchcock and other directors in politics,
the president reerates his conviction, saying: "My
judgment is that it is absolutely necessary to renom
nate Mr. Hughes"
Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the republican
committee of New York. had already made the fol-
lowing statement of his beliefs:
Should the president highly as his political judg
ment is valued should national candidates,
Taft Sherman, should l. as chairman of the
republican state committee, should the committee
ITSELF attempt to direct the of the forthcom
ing convention, for against any candidate such a
course would invite republican disaster in this
mentuous national and state campaign"
The republican state convention for New York will
be held on the 18th of September, at Saratoga, and
Mr.. Woodruff declares that the sentiment of the
convention must be absolutely shaped in the
and minor conventions that select the 101O dele
gates to the state convention. Other members of the
central committee agree with the chairman and they
have intimated quite broadly that open fight would
be made against Governor Hughes all the way to
the state convention and on the floor of the con-
vention
The New York state convention will therefore
become a pivotal affair, eliminating in a lack of
harmony among the representatives of conflicting
machines.

Largest Lumber Cut.

Figures of the lumber cut in 1902 compiled by the
the largest total reported in the United States
exceeding by per cent the cut reported for
1906 until then the record year This does not
sariy show larger actual cut than in 1906 for the
returns obtained last year were more complete than
ever before. The figures themselves disclose some
interesting facts
In 1907 1850 mills made returns, and their pro-
duction was over 40 O000OOOOO feet of lumber This
is believed to include 95 per cent of the actual
In 1906 49, 1913 mills reported about 81 5OO,00O0OO
feet Since according to these figures nearly 90 per
FORE while the increase in production only lit
tie over seven per cent it might be though that the
amount actually manufactured must have been great
cent mills reported last year than the year be-
in the earlier year This, however, would be too
hasty inference for it is almost wholly among mills
of small individual output that the gain in the number
of establishments reporting has been made
classification of the returns by states and
gions throws additional light the situation. In
divdual changes, as, for example, the remarkable
rise of Texas from eighth to third place among the
1umber-producing states doubtless accounted for
primarily by the greater accuracy of the 1907 figures
but in the majority of cases the advances and de-
clines can be traced to specific influences.
Before the year closed the general business de-
preston was severely felt in the lumber industry
It was not, however, the most important cause of
falling off in the production of the year where
falling off occurred. For decline in production took
place only in certain regions. The south is the re-
gion of greatest activity in lumber production and
yellow pine the most important wood, forming 33
per cent of the entire cut of the country The cut

A Kicker of the Past.

A Boise republican, interviewed by a Salt Lake
paper early in the spring of 1907 exhibited his sore
spots. In the light of recent achievements by his
party, assembled in state convention what he then
said is now interesting
Our late, lamented legislature broke every pledge
made by the republican party The party was
pledged to enact direct primary law, and it was
beaten. Governor Gooding recommended the crea-
ton of a railroad commission, and the Mormons,
whom he thought with him. gave him the
double-cross and the bill defeated An anti-pass
bill was defeated through the instrumentaty of the
good Bishop Hart, member of the state senate
from Fremont county and henchman of Senator
Borah.
'The reenactment of the test OATH by which
people who believe in and practice polygamy would
be DISTINGUISHED was defeated by the legislators al
though it was demanded by practically all the decent
people Of the state. All the legislature did was to
pass Sunday rest law and the appropriation bills
"The fight to rid Idaho of machine rule is going
to continue 1t is just beginning, in fact to warm
up. If the republican party won't rid itself of the
dsreputabe leadership into whose hands it has fall
en- the people Of Idaho will rid themselves of the re-
publican party"
The "disreputabe leader" appears to be holding
his own.
