Plant of the Poetess.

THE poetess lay in her narrow bed
and stared with pain glazed eyes
at the dirty ceiling overhead, noting.
as one in a dream. the great holes in
it and half forming a wish that it
would rain no more. The sun was
high in the heavens. With fancy
eye she could see it flooding hill and
dale with golden glory. dispelling au-
tumnal mists in forest glades and
lending richer, rarer tints to the gor
geous livery of the woods In fancy.
too, she could hear the sweet songs of
birds, the merry laugh of happy chill
dren gamboling on village greens. and
her whole soul rose in revolt and her
heart cried out with it's pain. She
longed to leave her bed and be up and
away, but she knew that it was an
impossibility.
'Oh," she cried in her agony of
spirit, why doesn't that washerwo-
man bring my boomers ~ Beating
her pillow frenziedly. the poetess
cursed the day she chose literature
for profession.

INDIANA FOREST FIRE LOSSES.
Forestry Board Secretary Says Road
Supervisors Neglected Duty.

indianapolis. Special: Forest fires
in Indiana this year have destroyed
timber worth $1,000, 900, or more than
all such fires in the previous ten years
combined. according TO w. H. Free
man. secretary of the State Board of
Forestry. The Kankakee region and
the knobs of southern Indiana have
suffered most, he says
Coon hunters, forest clearers and
railroads are the three principal
causes, Freeman says, but the blame
for the damage being so extensive he
lays to road supervisors, who have
not done their duty under the law.
Every road supervisor is a fire ward
en-. He is authorized to employ, at
the rate of $3.50 a day. all the men
necessary TO put an end to forest
fires. and the township trustee is re.
quired TO provide the money for pay
ment. No road supervisors are pay
ing any attention to the laws provi-
sion in this respect. Freeman says.
This year has been remarkably
dry" said the secretary, 'and trees
burn like finder. I've seen fire sweep
through the foliage Of trees faster
than man can run, the leaves were
that dry. Men hunting 'coons at night
leave their fires burning after they
catch the coon, and a whole forest
goes up in fire and smoke. Farmers
clearing a bit OF timber land fail to
guard the fire properly. and another
forest is gone IL looks now that we
might have some damp weather. and
IL is certainly To be hoped"

TROOPS ARE GUARDING
THREATS AGAINST LIFE OF TEN
NEssEE GOVERNOR.
MORE ARRESTS ARE MADE
Telephone Wires Cut; Conference Of
Governors to Consider Plans for
SURPRISING Night Riders.

Nashville. Tenn, Special: Compan-
les Il and l., National Guard, State of
tennessee, under command OF Major
r. b. Horton. left Memphis on a spe-
cial train Saturday en- route for Reel
loot Lake. The companies number
about hundred men and are
equipped with the latest pattern Of
Springfield rifles. These rifles carry
a stell-jacketed bullet and kill at two
and half miles.
The troops reached Obion at 10
o'clock and marched overland twenty
miles to Samburg.
This action was taken because Of
the threats against the life of Cover
nor NJ. X. Patterson, who is personally
directing the investigation OF Night
Rider depredations at Samburg.
Capt NJ NJ. Marshall. of the State
Prison Board and Col. Duncan b.
Cooper, Of Nashville. are in confer
ence with Governor Patterson, at
Union City.
The report Of a threat against Gov
ernor Patterson, that he would not
live TO be governor again is taken
lightly by the Governor and his
friends. Some regard il as a canard.
one Of the many rumors floating
about without apparent foundation.
The Governor said that he had been
advised by some not TO go to Sam
burg. but he paid no attention TO this,
feeling II to be his duty TO go TO the
scene of the Night Rider troubles and
personally familiarize himself with
the conditions.
The military and civil authorities at
Samburg arrested Ed Powell, who was
required to accompany the mob to
Wards hotel the night of the lynch
ing. Powell is being detained in
