COOPERATIVE STUDY
 TO BEGIN SOON
Forest Reserves In Kentucky To Be Investigated By the State and
 Federal Government.

Washington, May 25-This season cooperative study of Kentucky's for est resources by the State and federal
 government will be begun in two weeks. As was the case last year, the expense of the investigation will be borne jointly by the state board of agriculture and the United States for est service, each appropriating $2,00O, together with approximately S1,500 left over from last year, makes $o,o00 avilable for the work ]. S. Holmes, of this section of cooperation in the forest service, who had charge of the study last summer. will again direct ! the work.
 1 1t is proposed to start small party l in the south mountain counties early in June. It is hoped that in July more men will be added to the force, who will take up the study in two other sections of the state. The method of ! ployed last year The foresters will take the region, county by county, tray cling over it on foot or on horseback. The percentage of forest and cleared land will be ascertained and accurate an estimate as possible made of the available supply of timber in each county.
 The general condition of the forests. whether cut or virgin. whether burned over or injured by insects of other enemies. and especially the result of past numbering. will be noted. so that specific recommendations can be made to guide the owners in the care and study of the timber industries will be made with the object of suggesting i less wasteful methods if such are pos sible. The question of fire protection, and the Improvements of stands will receive especial consideration.
 kentucy is so exceptionally situated with many of her large streams ris- ing within her own borders. that she can most profitably conserve her water res sources, and for this reason, as well as for the production of timber. the forests of this state need special care. It is likely that his study will lead to the inauguration of liberal and far sighted policy. There are signs that the need of such a policy is rapidly coming to be appreciated by the people of the state, and that Kentucky will soon be one of the leading states in movement for the better care and pro- lection. of forests

He Felt Comp!imented.

A man from Philadelphia, says [ writer in the Ledger of that city. was visiting in q town of very few nhab itants One day when he was about to make'a purchase he discovered that he had exhausted his small change. The shopkecper could not break the ten dollar bill offered him. and the man went out in the main street to see how he might solve the difficulty. He asked several persons. but no one had the requisite amount for the bill. At last an old white haired. seedy negro cam" along. In sheer desperation the man said:
 Uncle. can you change a ten dollar bill for me-
 "Cncle' looked GaZe,l for a moment then his shambling figure strai@hteneG With doffing of the hat and a l,en worthy of Chesterfield he replied, witl dignity:

One of the most important, largest and most attractive features at the Third Annual State Fair and Industrial Exposition of Arkansas to be held at Oaklawn, Hot Springs, October F to r will be the gigantic, composite edu cational exhibit.
 The schools, colleges, universities and seats of learning of every class are being interested in the educational department of the state fair.
 This department has been placed in charge of Prof. Geo. B. Cook, nominee for State Superintendent, and who is associating with in this work the lead- ing educators of the state.
 Already several hundred letters have been sent out over Arkansas urging the importance of a great educational exploitation for the school system of the state, and scores of cooperative responses have already been received, assuring a magnificent exhibition in this department.
 Representative work of the pupils of all classes of schools will be accepta- ble, as will be pictures of school build- ings, groups of scholars, etc. This work can be sent now to the educa- tonal department of the Arkansas state fair, Hot Springs, Ark. It is only required that the exhibits be sent in prepaid with full instructions as to their return after the close Of state fair
 Liberal awards in books, diplomas, etc, will be given for all credi;ab!e work.
 The fair Association has set aside a large and centrally located space for the school exhibits, and this will he one of several interesting, valuable and instructive features of the indus rial divisions of our next state fair.

MARRIED IN TEXAS
 ON ARKANSAS LICENSE
lrreeularity Is Not Discovered Until Certificate Is Returned and Two
 Couples Cannot Be Located.

TeNarkana, May 25.-A couple of weeks ago two young men giving their names as R. F. Duncan and Spencer Ogden, appeared at the Miller county clerks office and obtained each mar riase license for himself. The place of residence of the brideSto-be was given as Cass county, Texas, but Clerk Little thought nothing, as such things are of frequent occurrence here situ ated as the town is, directly on the state line.
 Texas parties frequently come here and procure licenses and the marriage take place on the Arkansas side of the city.
 About a week or ten days after issu- ing the license to Messrs. Duncan and Ogden, the documents were returned to Clerk Little by mail, with the cer- tifcate duly filled out and signed by q Texas justice of the peace in Cass county, certifying that he had united both couples in the holy bonds of mat rimony in that county and state.
 Mr. Little at once wrote the Texas justice, telling him that he had nc authority to marry the couples on ar Arkansas license and suggesting tha

Nay Scotland's Soil Is Thin.

An English golfer on Scottish links hit the turf ten times for every once that he struck the ball. His caddie ventured on a sarcastic remonstrance
 ''Ha' peety on auld Scotland, sir said he. "She's suffered over eneucb at the haunds O yer countrymen in the past that ye sud treat her sac sair the day. Hit the ba'. man. an let the grun' alane."
 "Confound Scotland" shouted the exasperated golfer, finging down his club in rage. Its just what Dr Johnson described it-'stOne. water Nnd little earth"
 "Sae the docther said that, did he:'
 Guired the caddie.
 "He did. and he was very wise ,an, let me tell you" snapped tine inglishman.

"Nae doot the docther was verra wise man, for there is muckle O stane an waiter in Scotland-oor mountains an lochs that ye come sac far tae see an it's a sair truth that the soil is nr vera deep.

Lost and Won at Shiloh.

Many an amusing incident of army life is given in Lew Wallace's autobi. ography. For example, he writes thus of tented paradise" which was lost and won at the battle of Shiloh: With. in our lines there was drinking tent on which was written Paradise IL was taken by the Confederates in the first days fight, and the v!ctors wrote beneath its name Lost By Beaure- gard's order all camp furniture WAS left intact. as he expected to possess the whole field i'll the morrow's strug gle. The Union army recovered their ground by the second days battle, the pleasure tent was retaken and to the two names was added the word Re cained.'"

The justice responded rather tartly, saying he felt very sure he had "just much legality" to marry the parties with an Arkansas license as the Arkansas clerk had to issue such licenses to young ladies whose homes were in Texas. He also stated that immediately after the double wedding @ both couples had gone to Kansas City to reside.
 Clerk Little wrote one of the bride grooms care of the general delivery, Kansas City. but the yetter was returned yesterday by the postmaster as ''uncalled for

The Journal des Debats in an article
on Napoleon on the Stage" tells why
the play "L'HOmme de Destin" was
taken from the stage when its triumph
was at the zenith. One evening, ac-
cording to the story, the emperor, ac-
companied by his friend Duroc, went
In disguise to the Porte st. Martin
theater, where the piece was being per-
formed, Eugene Chevalier appearing
as the man of destiny. They bought
a box, but had hardly entered 1t when
the emperor broke forth in violent exc
cratiOns against the fool managers. !"
1t seemed that the decorators had left
in the box pots of oil and paint, and
into these the emperor had stepped.
"Wild with rage,H says the writer, 'he
rushed from the house and, to make
matters worse, was recognized In the
lobby. No paper mentioned the incl
dent, but by order of the emperor the
play was never produced again. and
Chevalier never appeared again as the
man of destiny-and all on account of
little paint badly applied"

Until the constitutional amendment
of 1904 the president and the wee PieS
,dep, we're voted for on the same pal
n, the man with the second highest
number of votes becoming vice presl-
dent The presidential electors nave
not always been chosen by popuiAE
vote.
BEFORE 1900 it was the general Gus
tom for the state legislatures 10 cno ose
the electors. and 1t was not until 1873
that presidential electors were cnoSeh
in nearly all the states by popular VOTE
Aa late as 1876 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors "
represent that state. There Is nothing
in the constitution to prevent any stats
legislature naming Its own electors
without appeal to the people proVlded
snch A method Of election is prescribed
by the state laws.
From 1900 to 1924 presidential can
didates were chosen by the members
Of congress in caucus. In 1871 tne
electoral college failed to make a cholce
from the candidates 80 submitted, ana
the matter went to the house OF repre-
sentatives. Four years later Iehhes-
sees legislature nominated Andrew
jackson without any reference to the
congressional caucus His opponent,
John Quincy Adams, was nominated IN
the old way, but that was the END OF
presidential nominations by congress
