Kindness to the Old People.

One OF the things that should not
be neglected, nor in all cases be re-
garded solely as duty" to be got
ten rid of as quickly as possible and
is attention to old people II your
parents are living, let them share in
your life as far as they may. and
visit them whenever you can. II you
can not visit them, at least send them
the longed-for letter, or the loving
message on postal card. At the holi-
day season, send them little remem-
brance-they will not be particular
as to costliness, for its chief value in
their faded eyes will be that 1t comes
from the boy" or girl" that will al
ways be one of the children" no mat
ter hcw the world may regard you.
Old people have few pleasures. As
their interests are narrowed down by
the infirmities of age, and they live
more in the past than in the present; /;
they look forward but a little way,
and their dulled ears hear the sound
Of waves breaking upon an unseen
shore far more distinctly than they do
the roar of traffic OF the blare Of the
battle music. Their world is not your
world. but their lonely old hearts fol.
low you, lovingly. l0ngingly. Their
companionship may not interest you
much. and their garrulity wear upon
your patience: but do not forget that
their best years we're given to caring
70. you. and it would be but a small
return for their long devotion to give
them few hours of your company, or
a moments time for Hall" as you
sweep along the faster current that
is bearing you past the quiet haven
into which their battered barks have
been swept by the swirl of the stream.
Some day. the word will reach you
that the frail old body has found rest.
and remembering the riches of their
love for you In the old time, you will
not think it much to leave all your
business and 60 back to help lay them
away inside the CAFES of Peace.
Remember now. while they are still
with you, how childishly happy your
presence could make them. and -

How He Was Buried.

A man returned to his native vii
lage after having emigrated to Kan
sas some twenty years previous. He
asked about different villagers he had
known in the old days. and finally of
the town drunkard of his time.
"Oh, he's dead was the reply.
Well, Well! Dead and buried, is
he?'
Nope; they didn't bury him"
Didn't bury him!" exclaimed the
former resident. Well, then, what
did they do with him?'
"Oh, they just poured him back in
the lug"

Il false cath is made does not cause
sleepless nights for all of the mem
bers OF the lower branch OF the
law-making body. In fact many of
the Congressman draw the full Sl23

then pay out only a portion of II

gle private secretary does the Ste
ncgraphic work of a half a dozen
congressman, receiving from each
one fifty or sixty dollars fer his SER
vices.
And there have been even worse
cases than the ones just described.
Not many years ago a western Con-
gresham took an oath before the
sergeant-at-arms that he spent the
SIPS each month for clerk hire.
when rs a matter OF fact the Wife
of the Congressman wrote the few
letters that were written, or was sup

Hughes an Idcalist.

brought up after the strictcst or
thodoXy in the fear of the Lord, it
would appear TO be the only fear
that Charles f. Hughes has ever
known. In an article on Governor
Hughes, in thu March McClures, Bur
ton j. Hendriek .,as turned the
saarchlight on IL of the most inter
osting personalities before the coun-
try today.
At the age of five, Mr.. Hendrick
tells us, that the young Mr.. Hughes
begged has parents to take him from
-ehcol. as his teacher wasted so
much time going over the same
ground, and he submitted to his
father his own plan of study. The
boys plans for economy OF time were
apparently well laid, for he gradu-
ated from Columbian Law school at
the age of twenty-five, passing lie
best examination in the history of
the New York bar. He then entered
the famous law Office of Walter s.
Garter.
What MIR, Garter and others so
admired in the young man We're his
industry, his thorough knowledge of
the law, his concise and searching
mind. his systematic habits. his per-
goaal honesty, and his lofty profess
sional ideals. In the early days the
firm had its headquarters in the old
New York Life building, and drew
its practice largely from the great
commercial houses in the dry goods
district. Mr.. Carter himself was
more of a business man than a law
Yer; he was a business getter and
Hughes was the man who did the
law work and tried the cases. This
branch of the business was extreme
ly congenial to him
According to Mr.. Iiendriak,
Hughes always took his profession
seriously, feeling that every mans
life standards inevitably Influenced
his community, anc that every man
consequently has certain unescapa-
bic obligations. According to pop
ular belief this II of ~trusteeship
is especially demanded in the legal
profession at the present time. In a
recent speech Nh. Hughes declared
that : the lawyer owes it to his pro-
tession to maintain the dignity of
independence, and is false to the
trust conferred upon him when he
is admitted TO practice as an officer OF
justice, if he permits himself to be-
come the tool of unprineipled man
ipulatcrs; and according to the gen
aral testimony of the New York bar,
Mr.. Hughes. in his own practice, con
s~tantly sacrificed his interests to his
ideals"
This article should be read as an
antidote to political pessimism.

THE HORIZON ~BRrGHTENs.

Financial conditions which suffer
ed so greatly during the recent de-
preston, continue to improve accord
ing to reports from the great cen
tiers of commerce. Chicago reports
a gain of nearly fifty millions in bank
deposits since last December, demon
strating that the people have been
quick to realize the stability of the
country's resources which We're made
apparent by the financial stringency
itself. In the east affairs are rapid
ly approaching the normal and the
United States should be enough to
encourage the most pessimistic in
dividual to believe that prosperity is
to remain with us for some time to
cClne.
Presidential year is usually a per-
iod Of retrenchment on the part OF
large enterprises, especially those
whose activities are liable to be at,
fected by political changes, but this
characteristic is less noticeable in the
present year than any of a similar
Importance. Workmen who the first
of the year we're found out of en-
ployment have in many instances
taken up their tools again having
been called back to the benches b.,
the unexpected demands upon the
various industries.
In fact, the only reason TO- the
late unpleasantness in the ~iinanciaI
world, which, to a certain extent no
mentarily affected the entire country,
a in the opinion of those who may
be expected to know, be charged tc
a currency system which has o been
able to keep pace with a national
prosperity. Congress is now work.
ing to remedy the defect. so there is
no reason apparently, to fear a dis,
astrous panic or similar disturbance
in the near future at least.

HAIiRl,oN's WIT.
How He Got Back at the Newspaper
Men at the Grid Iron Club


President Roosevelt has accepted
an invitation of the Gridiron club.
The president has no use Tor the av-
erage practical joker. He doesn't
credit this class OF humorists win
any brains. He does admit there
is a big supply Of brains in the grid
iron grilling shop. When they grill
Roosevelt he is we'll done, and the
grilling is we'll done, SO he enjoys
it.
Presidtnt Mckinley, sensitive,
kindly, always courteous, attended
most OF the gridiron dinners. The
newspaper men treated him with the
kind of courtesy he used with his as
sociations with them and no fun
making at their dinners was ever re-
sented by tne president.
1t is the habit to speak Of Presi-
dent Harrison as the Coolest man
who ever lived in the White House.
Time is mellowing the bitterness OF
Harrison's critics and each year he
grows a bigger figure in our history.
1t was said he could not take a joke
or give one that would make men
laugh with genial warmth. 1t is be
coming known that Harrison had a
fine sense of humor.
1t is related that he was called or
for a speech at the first Gridiror
dinner he attended. He looked
arounu at the assembled newspape,
men and observed with a .uiet way:
This is the second time this week
have been called upon % open d
congress of American inventors"
The shaft went home and a shout
of laughter went up.
Mr.. Harrison went on: Il will say
this for you-I have often been i'm
pressed with the accuracy with which
You predict what / am going to do
and still more with the ~accurac,
with which you explain why I didn'
DO it."-Publisher's Auxiliary.

Grazing Decision Affirmed.

Washington, February 24-United
States Attorney Car: Rasch, of Mon
tana, has notified Clifford Pinchot,
chief of the United States Forest SER
vice. that the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals at San Francisco.
has affirmed The decision of Judge
Hunt in the grazing ;ra5pass case in
stituted by the Government against
Thomas Shannon.
No copy of the decision has yet
been received by the Forest Service,
but it is believed that it forbids
stockmen to allow their cattle to
drift upon National forests, and that
the National forests need not be
fenced to prevent such drifting al
though the state laws may make
such fencing necessary for private
lands.
In December, 1904, Shannon al
LEVIED his cattle to drift upon the
Little Belt National Forest in Mon
tana. To put a stop to this, suit was
brought BY the United States, and on
March Is, 1907, Judge Hunt, in the
United States Circuit court for the
state, rendered a decision in favor of
the government, and issued an in
junction perpetually restraining
Shannon from allowing his cattle to
drift upon the forests. Montana has
a fence law by which owners must
fence their lands before they can OBJ
tain redress from stockmen whose
cattle, feeding upc:l the public do
main, range upon and injure the pri-
yate lands.
Shannon's counsel argued that this
law should apply against the United
States, but Judge Hunt held that
the power of Congress over the pub.
lie lands, including National Forests
IS complete; that Congress has law.
FULLY delegated to the Secretary O.
Agriculture the authority to make
regulations to protect the Forests
that the Secretary had properl,
made a regulation that cattle mus
not range upon the forests withou
permit, and that consequently Shan
non was a trespasser when he al
lowed his cattle to drift upon tn.
Little Belt Forest, although it wa
%unfenced.
Shannon appealed from this de
cision, and as Montana is in the ct
Federal Judicial Circuit, which EN-
braces most of the Rocky Mountai,
and Pacific states, his appeal wa
heard by the United States Circui
Court of Appeals for the 9th Circui,
sitting at San Francisco. The coul
has now affirmed Judge Hunts de
cision, and this Judgment is bindin
upon all Federal Courts in the Gil
cult. A similar case is pending i

In taking out the Siberian timber
the Melbourne lumbermen will have
to ship the entire years cut in July,

during the remainder OF the year
there is no open water at the point
of shipment.
What makes this unusual feature
of transporting bulky logs 5000
