. THE HAPPY
Three Persons Suggested Reading of
Poem at Cleveland's Funeral.

Princeton Letter in Brooklyn Eagle.
They said Grover Cleveland would be
buried without sermon, eulogy or song,
but they were wrong. The funeral was
turned into a poem that was itself a
song, a eulogy and a sermon. The
most beautiful eulogy ever written by
William Wordsworth was read over
the coffined form of the former presi-
dent and applied to him and to his life.
BY a remarkable coincidence, or con
currence in the minds Of h three per-
sons nearest to Mr.. Cleveland, the great
poem of Wordsworth was chosen sep
arately and individually by the three
as the one human expression most fit
ting to portray the life and character
Of the dead. No greater tribute could
be paid to the character of Mr.. Cleve-
land than this fact that his life and
deeds were such that when those who
loved him best sought independently of
each other to find a suitable expression
of his character, they turned spontane-
ously to the Wordsworth poem that
pictures a happy warrior with great
ness almost sublime.
The selection Of the Wordsworth
poem was a remarkable incident in
the funeral arrangements. The Incl
dent was suggestive almost Of the SUI
pernatural in the coincidence and
agreement of the mental processes that
led to the selection. Without any sug-
gestion that a poem should be read at
the funeral, the Wordsworth poem was
selected separately by Mrs. Cleveland,
the widow; by Rose Elizabeth Cleve-
land, the sister of the dead man, and
by DR.. Henry a Dyke, who was
closer to Mr.. Cleveland than any other
friend in the last few weeks of the
fatal illness.
After the death of Mr.. Cleveland, DR..
van Dyke, who lives across Bayard
lane from the Cleveland home, was sit
ting in Westland with Mrs. Cleveland
and Rose Cleveland. After a long pause
in TIE conversation, Mrs. Cleveland
said:
i have been thinking OF a poem
about the happy warrior. The poem
appeals to me almost as a prophetic
description of my husband. 1t was
written more than a hundred years
ago and 1T may be that 1t is not so
fitting as l think" 81,
Nothing could be more appropriate
and no poet could have been more
prophetic" said DR.. van Dyke, drawing
from his pocket a copy Of Words
worth's poems. THAT is the very poem
l have thought of as being opposite and
we'll adapted to h character of Mr..
Cleveland"
Rose Cleveland, in amazement, held
u a memorandum In writing. In
thinking of some fitting tribute to her
brother, she had written down the
name Of Wordsworth's poem, "Charac-
ter of the Happy Warrior"
So impressed were they by this sin
gular agreement upon the poem hat
they determined to have the poem read
at the funeral. 1t was chosen to AXE
the place of all eulogy and song.

Black Forest Customs.
From the Antiouary.

sHA14a ENVAH Nht ~
The peasant farms OF the Black Forest
are handed down from father TO son In a
direct line. often dating back 400 years.
There is no division as in France; all
falls to the heir, only here 1t is not the
eldest, but the youngest son who inherlts.
1t Is rare that a Bur (peasanD dies as
reigning head. When he gets on In years
he abdfcates, In order to end his days in
the lelbgedingehaus dover house,, which
stands beside each Hof (steading).
That he does so In favor Of his young
est son is very sensible; were 1t the elder
he would have no peace, for as soon as he
married he would try to induce his par
ents to retire just at an age when power
Is sweetest and best exercised. For this
reason the practical farmers of bygone
generations decided to hand over the sue
cession to the youngest, since when Ben
jamin is a full grown man father Jacob
Is old m glad to rest.
This law of inheritance goes by the
name Of vortel. Should the heir of his
own free will desire TO resign in favor OF
his elder brother the latter must buy the
property from him. In such case the
younger may be termed a kind of Esau.

INNOVATION IN
FOREST MANAGEMENT
Japanese Government Will EN-
tablish Sawmills and Make
Lumber on Own Account.

Japan is the only government In the
world which X upon Itself the
working OF its lumber business, accord
Ing to Consul General Henry B. Miller,
OF Yokohama, In a report in which he
quotes the director Of the Japanese
forest bureau.
The mikado's government has set
apart a quarter Of a million dollars to
build sawmills and lumber roads, man
ufacture lumber in remote districts,
and put 1t on the market. Except rail-
road ties for Manchuria roads. the
Japanese government exports no tim
Der. It Is all needed at home.
Many governments in different parts
of the world own forests, but as a rule,
the timber is sold where 1t stands.
and the buyer cuts n markets Ii.
That is the way II Is done In the IA
tional forests Of this country. The
Japanese government, however. pro
poses to carry on all parts of the work.
from planting the trees to selling the
lumber after 1t has been manufactured.
The report says:
Recently an official In the depart
ment of agriculture and m was
sent to the United States, and others
to Europe for the inspection Of the
timber trade and forestry administra-
ton. A commission was also sent to
India for the same purpose. A specials

on a similar errand. The latter win
thoroughly study the rubber planta-
tons, and, IL possible, bring back roots
or seeds for planting On the Bonint
and Luchu groups. 4
The Japanese department Of agricul-
ture and commerce, which established
a sawmill In Akita prefecture in 1906,
making q grant Of 500 900 in that year
and S150,000 in 1907 to develop the
business, has obtained a vote of $780,
600 toward the fund for the extension
Of the lumber business, and new gov
eminent mills are to be established in
Nagano and Aomori procedures. Be-
fore the end of this year there will be
nine timber mills in all in Akita, 40
mort, Miyagi, and Kumamoto prefec-
lures, all worked by the government.
In many forests reserved by the gov
eminent there is a very heavy supply
Of timber, but these forests are re-
mote from railways, rivers or seaports,
and much expenditure is necessary for
opening roads or constructing other
ear Of transport in order to make
such timber available.
District forestry Offices will, how
ever, not work mills regardless of
profit, as strong competition is going
on among them. 1t is stated that the
products to merchants in Japan, and
the works are not yet progressed to
such a stage that the government car
export direct. So far, h export Of
timber by the government mills. has
been confined to supplying sleepers to
the South Manchurian Railway com
pany." .

The Turkish sultan" said a tobac-

finest cigarets in the world. Cigarets
like his bought here would cost over

factory-a light, airy room, a bale OF
exquisite tobacco, or two simple
hand cutting machines, half a dozen
workmen of marvellous skill. Here the

The best cigaret tobacco comes from

Men and Women as Frierds.

Vance in the Referee.
Men prefer men to women for friends
because between them there is a sense
Of equality hat is absent from all
their relations with the opposite sex
Men, moreover, disliking the way
women treat women, confide in each
ether with knowledge that their conf
dence is more likely to be respected
than when they intrust their secrets tc
a woman.
The sense OF honor among men, theil
antipathy to fidgets and agitation about
~trifes, provide a larger stock OF the
raw material for friendship between
men than that with which nature has
provided the opposite sex.
