And he kept them from working with their hands, and said braves must only hunt and fight, and he would not try to keep peace or to help Spotted Tail control the young braves.
 Then at last, when Red Cloud was very old man, more than 80 years old, he was sick for the first time in his life. He had to stay in his lodge and be taken care of, for he was toe weak to move. Now he began tc notice how kind everyone was to him when he could do nothing for himself, and his heart was softened When he was able to be up again and go out into the woods he was very happy, and began to be sorry for people who were not strong and well, though until he was i'll himself he had despised them.
 He saw how Uncle Sam was try ing to take care of everybody in this big country of ours, and he said: Indians must take land like white men; they must work with blow and hoe, and they must read books and study Then there was peace in the north land, for the fiercest of all our Indian warriors up to that

NATIONS IMPORT MUCH LUMBER

Few people have the slightest con ception just how important a part timber and unmanufactured wood play in the trade between the worlds great nations, and doubtless it is news to many to learn that the lum- Der importations of the various coun- tries amount to $2S5, ,600,000 This is according to estimates for the whole world compiled by Dr Ernest Friedrich, of the German commercial high school at Leipzig.
 Notwithstanding the fact that it finds it's own supply dwindling, the United States furnishes about 20 per cent of the lumber imported by other countries. Austria-Hungary fur nishes 19 per cent, Russia 16 per cent, Canada 13 per cent, Sweden IS per cent, Finland 10 per cent, and Norway and Roumania a small quan- tity.
 The countries importing wood are those on, the, highest economical plans, which were themselves in earlier times densely wooded, but whose forests have been denuded to a greater or less extent to make room for agriculture and other in- dustries, says Vice-Consul James l.. A. Burrell of Madgeburg in report to this government. Only per cent of the territory of Great Britain. is covered with forests, and during the year 1906 that country imported lumber to the value of $135,561,- 750. Germany has still 26 per cent of it's territory covered by forests, but imported in 1906 lumber valued at $61,2S5, ,000. Belgium and the Netherlands, that have but 8 per cent corest lands, Denmark, that has per cent, France and Switzerland, with small percentage, are all com pelled to import lumber.
 Besides these countries, those lands lying on the dry western side of the sub-tropical zone lacking for ests are forced to import wood. Egypt imports wood and coal to the value of about $16,660,000 annual ly; Algeria, Tunis, Spain, Portugal (with only per cent forest land), Italy, Greece (with g per cent forest land), the eastern part of Asia, Brit ish South Africa, the western part of Chile and Peru, the Argentine Re public and Australia, all poor in wood, are dependent upon import.

NEW ENGLAND'S OPPORTUNITY

New England needs no conference of governors and politicians if the purpose is to advertise the troubles and difficulties of this part of the country. A lot of 7cise setting forth of the attractions of the northeast ern states would be more to the point. Talk of abandoned farms" and 'decadent towns" is now out of date.
 Of late years, New Englanders who go west are often surprised to find when they reach the much boOmed garden spots" and "Edens" of the west and south. that they have left better opportunities behind them in New York or Connecticut or Maine. Many distant regions have been overpromoted by railroads and spectators, while nearer home mo- body realizes the combination of good. low-priced farms and first class markets
 One of the great industries of northern New England not always fully appreciated is the summer boarding business! According to ex-Governor Bache1der. there are 5000 summer hotels and boarding houses in the state of New Hamp- shire. besides 5000 summer resi- dences, and all of these places are likely markets for farm produce at favorable prices, Boston quota tions guide the prices in some local ities, but there is no freight and commission to pay and the producer nets fully as much for what he sells and\ in many instances the farmer is

Blankets of Bark.

Tn Ecuador, one of the South Ameris can republics, the bark of a tree which grows on the slopes of the Andes is utilized for the making of blankets. The blanket is over six feet long and over five feet wide and Is as soft and pliable as though it were made of fan- mel. It is about the thickness of . good flannel blanket and can be rolled up and put in strap without hurting or inJuring 1t. This tree or bark blan- ket is merely a strip of bark cut from section of the trunk of the blanket or demajagua tree. The Indians make cutting around the trunk to get 1t, and they prepare 1t by soaking 1t in water until 1t is soft. It is then pound ed so that the rough outside can be stripped of and the inside alone left The inside is of fine fibers so joined together by nature that 1t makes a beautiful blanket. warm enough to be used as a cover and soft enough for . mattress.

 It is figured that SlO,00O,000 are annually left in New Hampshire by summer tourists. Some towns have doubled in value by reason of improvements made by summer res- idehts, and because of the new in- dustries and new lines of business brought about In meeting their wants. A great deal of land has been sold at high prices simply because or the fine scenery in the neighbor- hood or from It's nearness to one of the famous lakes in the summer re- sort section. On one lake over 1000 boats traverse the water in a sum mer season, some making regular trips and carrying supplies and pas sengers from one camp or cottage to other settlements along the. shore. Ex-Governor Bachelder calls atten- tion to the vast sums which come to the state in one way or another
 
 mer visitors and urges that more money be spent in advertising the neutral advantages of the state.
 1t is hardly realized by many New Englanders that no other section of the country has the same class of attractions. People of the west, in- creasing by thousands every year, nn Ta1D tn GI1A hn nnt r. ural advantages of country life, mountain scenery and seashore. More than 20,O00,0O0 people are within days Journey of the most attractive part of the mountain and shore country.
 As the wealth of the nation in- creases the importance of the sum- mer resort business is bound to grow larger year by year. Money spent for improvement, and adver- Using will be we'll invested. Forest fish and game and other natural at fractions should be carefully guard ed. In many sections the ordinary farm crops are not very profitable because of the rousn, sterile nature of the soil. In these localities the summer boarder is the only reliable source of income. Anything that will encourage the development of the industry should receive careful attention. The special advantages of the northeastern states to far mers, tourists and business men have never received the degree of thorough, reliable advertising their importance deserves. Gull tivator n

This is the week of the democratic state convention. Up to this time no candidate has been selected to op- pose Congressman Lilley for the place of governor, although there are several men in the field, any one of whom could fill the position, and would give the republican candidate a good beating It is just as well not to be in too much of a hurry. Let the delegates pick out the candidate and show to the republicans the way such a nomination should be made, and not have it all fixed up for them by a machine that says here is the man, drop in your vote Alexander Troup's paper is out with a strong appeal for Tom Waller. Among oth- CT things it says: Tt is the Unions opinion, and we say it without fear of contradiction, that an over whelming ma ajority of the democrats of Connecticut desire, this year, that the democratic nominee for govern or be the Hon Thomas NJ. Waller of New London. He has stated that he would not take the nomination un- der any circumstances; but Governor Johnson said as much and quite as emphatically. The Union and Mr Waller have not always been of one and the same mind on national ques- tions. There is nothing, however. in this years campaign that We know about, over which there can be any between us, and there is much involved in the state cam paign upon which we can most hear tily agree" It looks pretty nice for a democratic victory when the Union booms ex-Governor Waller.

the clause was that the coal carry
 ing railroads were sought to be pre-. vented from carrying their own coal as commodity to sell to consumers, they could, it was conceded, own the coal properties; they could carry coal for their own uses; but they could not carry coal to sell to others and the value of their properties was therefore very greatly at issue
 The court has decided in effect that property rights were attacked; that the fifth amendment to the constitu- tion forbidding that any person shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop. erty without due process of law had been violated. The matter will be carried to the supreme court, where a decision will be given after proper and careful deliberation But su, preme court decisions are matters for consideration for the distant fu- ture; the Hepburn act as a disturb ing feature is removed from the list of immediate market influences and to that extent the situation is clear ed. The entire incident merits class ification among the developments that have recently been so signifi- cant of the approach toward dissolu- tion in the wave of state and other forms of antagonism towards asso- ciated capital that has been too gen> erally current of late years. The wave is certainly passing and owners of securities are becoming more and more assured of the permanence of their investments.

Even eX-Postmaster C. C. Conner ford detected the absence of red fire and real enthusiasm on the night of Candidate LiNey's return to Water bury. A man would not need to be gifted with any particularly keen vision to see the icicles hanging around. It was one of those times when the people would not enthuse, even though they were notified re- peatedly that they were supposed to get full of animation and whoop her up. The result of the republican pri- maries in this city and the reception to the candidate no doubt has set Congressman Lilley and his managers a-thinking.
