Tn 1902, he was nominated as the democratic eandi- date in the strongest republican con gressional district in the city of New York and managed to carry it by 1,50O majority. Two years later he was nominated for lieutenant governor of New York, but was de- feated together with all the other democratic candidates by the tidal wave for Roosevelt. In 1906 he was again elected to congress from New York.
 Speaking of MT Harrison's work in congress, John Sharp Williams, the democratic leader of the house of representatives, said: As a member of committees he has shown a notable disposition to forget that he Is rich and need not work; but to do the> work that presents itself to him as member of the commit tee to which I assign him, with all his heart, and mind and strength and will.

FACTS ABOUT OUR TREES.
We Use and Waste More Timber Per
 Capita Than Any Other Nation.

All our standing timber Is esti- mated to be somewhere. between fourteen hundred and two thousand billion feet. If we use forty bil- lion per annum, We can run 35 to 50 years at the present rate, pro- vided we do not have any waste. If We use one hundred billions per an- mum, our t,mber will last IA to 20 years on the same basis. If we use one hundred and fifty Millions per annum in g to 13 years our timber will be gone! We have now about 165, 100000 acres in our national re- serves. If we had three times that much we should not have enough.
 If 1t cost 20 acres Sunday, or 40 acres week or 2,080 acres year to print one daily newspaper, what does 1t cost in acreage to print all the newspapers in all the cities and towns of America? Add to this the enormous editions of our maga- zines. Add to this the paper used in books. The total stagers the inn agination and yet the amount of timber cut for pulp in the United States annually is less than per cent of what is cut for lumber. Last year we made more than 315,O0O,- 900 lead pencils. A lead pencil is not very large but the total num- Der of lead pencils required 7,300,- 900 cubic feet of cedar. We have cedar enough to last us just l2 years.
 More than 100000 acres of tim Der, in the whole United States, are cut over every working day. We use many times more timber per capita than other nations. We have left not over 45O, 100000 acres bear ing commercial timber. Cast up in your mind some of the small de- mands of industry upon this sup ply. Our railroads are said to use one-third of the industrial timber cut for ties. Suppose we could cut 100 ties to the acre; we should require 1 ,000,0v acres year for ties. We annually reap for telegraph and tel ephone poles something between 100000 and 100000 acres of land. Our tanneries two years ago required 1,370,000 cords of bark. In the same year we cut 11,S5S,260 shingles and 3,S12.S07 laths. Then we had to timber our mines, and for that we used 165, 100000 cubic feet. not board measure. much of which was the best of hardwood.-Emer- son Hough in Everybody's.

When 1t became known the other day that the women had officially changed the verse, the veterans and Confederate sympathizers raised a storm of protest and declared that they had exercised too much au- thority in their making over propensi- ties.
 The women claim that the old words are not suited to the grandeur of the song or the cause for which 1t stands The new stanzas are: Oh, Dixieland is the land of glory. The land of cherished song and story. Look away. look away. look away. Dixie.

tertained the highest conception of the lofty purposes of the American republic. but my experiences here during some few weeks have afforded me an opportunity to come In close touch with the reality
 I found land blessed by God with most bountiful natural resources, and saw a people happy. contented prosper ous and worthy of the advantages which this country affords to all and even to the stranger-to the poor emigrant whom dire necessity drives from his native home and to the exiled patriot whose only offense is that he sought liberty and justice in his own land and found them not. America has a glorious future be- fore her If she but be true to the ideals of the founders of the republic.
 Prosperity and material power are be- set with dangers Prosperity often de- generates into luxury. and power may turn into injustice. America, I am sure. will be we'll able to take care of herself in the face of foreign foe. Her greatest enemy will be within her own borders. Luxurious living would weaken the strength of the country, and injustice would ruin it's prosperity.
 Warns Us Against Divorce.
 could not but be struck on my visit 10 the home of Washington. at Mount vernon, on the DankS or the fotomhc, at the perfect air of simplicity that mark ed the homestead and the tomb of the father of your country. If I may be al- lowed to draw a lesson from Mount Yer non. should like te say to the American people that the alarming increase in the number of divorces in the United States is a great and crying evil, full of danger. The greatness of any country must be measured by the strength and purity of the home. Divorce disrupts the home and desecrates its sanctity. I feel that the American people appreciate the ben- eficent influence of the Catholic church In its fight for the home. in which the first lessons of respect fer authority and the necessity of obedience must be learn ed. and these lessons cannot be instilled into the mind of the child if the home be not what it ought to be.
 Among the mementos of my visit I am taking back with me a beautiful Ameri- can flag presented to me some few even- ings agoN prize 1t most highly. both for its intrinsic beauty and for what 1t has represented and does represent to the people of my race and faith. They found under its starry folds sanctuary from op- precision and advantages of happiness de- nied them al home. May the stars and stripes be true to it's past glorious his- tory and never be unfurled in an unjust cause. but ever remain the flag without a stain.

 Francis Burton Harrison is the eighth in descent, on both his fa- ther's and mothers side, of old Vir- ginia stock. The family furnished many statesmen to the colony of Vir- ginia in the past. His father, the late Burton N. Harrison, was for four years of confederacy the pri- vate secretary of Jefferson Davis, and, upon the downfall of the con federate government, was captured with IT Davis, and imprisoned for nine months in solitary confinement as a prisoner at war In northern prison. He was married in New York shortly after the war to Miss Constance Carrie of. Virginia, who with her two cousins was known as the Carrie Inyincibles."

On the eve of his reluctant de. parture the venerable prelate gave out farewell statement to the American people, in which he sounds note of warning on the divorce question. In his statement Cardinal Logue says:
 In saying farewell to America I desire to express my deepest sense of gratitude to the people of this mighty nation fof the magnificent reception I have received everywhere and from everybody had the pleasure of meeting, not only from those of my own race and faith, but also from representatives of nearly every na- tionality and of many different religious beliefs

AIRsHIP OF GREAT SPEED
Holland Expects to Fly to Europe at
 Hundred Miles an Hour.


 Announcement was recently made by John P. Holland, inventor of sub. marine boats, that he is at work on an airship In which he expects within five years to be able to travel from New York city to England in thirty hours.
 T fully expect my airship will be capable of speed of a hundred miles an hour,' said Mr. Holland, "and ex pect also that this speed will be at. tained within five years. I have al. ready built six airships, three of which have been successful.
 'The principal difficulty so far in air. ship construction has been structural as the craft have been unable to con. tend successfully with the wind cur. rents. I have modelled my new ship on a principle which Is so simple that il is strange others have not thought of its application before.
 Atmospheric fluctuations, electrical disturbances and wind currents have been the obstacles which until now have stood in the way of the successful navigation of the air. think that in I my new ship I shall be able to over come all disadvantages. If there comes that high development in airships that confidently expect, steamships will be things of the past. We shall all travel in the air.
 T have made all my plans for the airship, of which I expect wonderful things, but must be excused from dis. cussing any of those plans in detail I do not know when I shall make the first ascent in 1t, but expect during one of the first trials to go from my home at Il William street, East Or ange, N. J., and after circling about over New York to return within half an hour. Speed is much to be desired. and to the attainment of high speed I am directing q great deal of attention" l"

 Champ Clark of Missouri said

Caligula, the spendthrift em- peror of Rome, who raised his pet horse to the consulship, is said to have had two magnif1- cent floating palaces on Lake Nemi. about seventeen miles from the imperial city. Accord ing to the early historians. the decks were of larchwocd, sheathed with thin strips of porphyry and serpentine: the doors were inlaid with gold and ivory: there were bath rooms and eolonnades of marble, crowned with wonderful hang ing gardens, all in the extrava- gant Graeco- Roman style. These ships, there is reason to believe. are still in existence in the depths of Lake Nemi. and a commission of prominent engi- neers and archaeologists has been appointed to discuss the best way to recover them.
 That Is the fourth attempt which the world has made to raise these famous ships. Car dinal Colonna in 1431 employ ed divers from Genoa, who brought up blanks sheated with copper. There was a second att tempt a century later. In 1927 AnnesiO Fusconi spent s6.000 in an effort to raise the boats. half of this sum. however. being dissipsted on a great banquet. at which prelates. diplomats and nobIemen toasted the sue cess of the affair.
 In 1895 diving bells were used and a careful examination made. It was found that one ship was goo feet in length by 60 feet beam. lying with it's prov downward on the steep side Of the lake. 150 feet under water. The other ship. which was still deeper. was found to be 250 feet In length. Some beautiful fixtures were recover ed. but the owner of the lake re- fused to allow the ships to be torn to pieces and the project was finally abandoned. though not until the appetite of the archaeological world had been keenIr whetted.
 Lake Nemi is the crater of an extinct volcano about three niles in diameter and 500 feet deep. The present plan Is tenn porarfiy to lower the level os the lake by about 158 feet.

He opened wide his mouth and got the berry about half. way into his mouth when it lodged there, and he could neither force the berry out nor get it on the inside. He therefore called for help, and work man gouged the berry out with a big stick.
