Washington, May In reply to Hey
burn s attack upon the forestry policy
of the administration, Depew of New
York today, in the senate. spoke at
length in defense of forestry reserves
and the reforestration of denuded land.
Only the other day, he said. New York
State received 100000 trees from Ger
many for use in reforestration of the
Adirondacks. He commended the ac-
tion of President Roosevelt in inaugu-
rating the system of forestry reserves

was increased to 100000 acres under
President Mckinley, and is now 150,-

Of dogs? OF course in the south there
are-according to perfectly unreliable
statistics-14 hound dogs to every

were muzzled- to the same
statisties-'twould take the leather
and hide output of the entire middle

But to the point. A newspaper man
was down in the freight yards of the

box with a Slated front containing
two handsome collie dogs, the kind
one sees in Landseer's paintings. The
box was addressed to New York end

box was placard containing a crude

called the Waldorf salad, which was
JOY to the appetite of the bon vivant,
but new salad has been introduced
that eclipses it. 1t is called the Salad
Astoria. Not only is it a joy to the
appetite, but SO attractively put to-

colors that one hesitates> to demolish
It. Once broken and served it proves
so delicious that every woman who
partakes of it at once determines to
learn how to make one just like it at
home.
Oscar says it is the simplest and
most healthful of luncheon salads. 1t
is made by splitting head of romaine

No Man Can Live to Himself.

Men do not choose their parts In
fife separately and individually in our
day, as they did in the days of our
fathers. The men are becoming rare
now who have business of their own,
undertaken upon their own individual
capital and built up and conducted
Independently upon their own respon-
sibility, writes Woodrow Wilson, pres
Ident OF Princeton university, in Les
Ties Weekly. Professional men are
rare who rise to the top of their pro-
fession without attaching themselves
more or less intimately to institI-
tons or corporations of some sort
doctors to hospitals. lawyers to great
corporate undertakings, men Of sci
ence to the great enterprises in
which science is applied. Each man
finds himself small part of some
great whole, whose operation is de-
cided by votes taken about long
tables in directors rooms, whose
morals are composite morals, a COM
promise combination of what the ma
terial interests of the body dictate and
what the enterprise of its managers
suggests, the character of every man
who has participated being merged In

voucAED FOR THE RARkEEPER.
Washington Temperance Official Was
Put in a TIGHT Place.

There comes over a certain official
in this city feeling of sadness that
his soul cannot resist when he consid-
ers the misfortune attending him who
seeks to aid his brother man, writes
Washington correspondent.
Last week an individual from Ire
land, verdant as the grass of his EN-
erald Isle, drifted into Washington
and besought aid of friends that he
might land a position lightly tossing
mixtures across the festive bar.
He met friend, also Irish, and to this
friend he confessed his ambition to be-
come a first-class mixologist in the
capital of the nation. The friend re-
membered the official, who is proper
prohibitionist, and called him up over
the phone.
''Tve friend just arrived from Ire
land" said he, and / want you as
personal favor to write him a neat
little letter explaining that you regard
him as an ideal concoctor of mixed
bug juice. Take it from me he is.
He mixed me a cocktail once that
fioated me for week I know what
I'm talking about"
So the dear, kind official who never
drinks-never, never drinks, mind you
agreed to write for the ardent mix
ologist a letter of effusiveness that
would touch the heart of any barkeep
in town.
Toward a business Office, where the
official and numerous co-workers and
the man who hires him were gath
cred, the man with the ambition
wendell his weary way.
The official was seated in a calm
state delivering an. eloquent address
on the beauties Of lemonade to an ap-
preciative audience, when from with
out the door came a booming voice,
inquirfng whether MIR was around.
The official looked up on hearing his
name called and inquired who desired
the pleasure of his company and con-
versation.
In walked the man with the ambi-
ton to mix them for Washington citi-
zens, his genial face aglow with sun
burn and perspiration.
| "O'm 1ukin' for man by the name
of Misther -" reiterated the man
with the ambition, ARE you him?"
Il am he," replied the official, i'm
pressively and dramatically.
"Oim the bahr-thinder thots lukin'
fer a letter of testimonial" an
nounced the man from the Emerald
Isle.
Somebody snickered.
The official let out a noise like the
snort of wounded walrus.
my man," he protested, "I-"
"Yis, | know" remarked the son of
Erin, but yez see they told me thot
if Oh could git thot litter of recon-
mindashun from We, OF could git job
at any place in town"
The official-the official who never
drinks-gazed at the apoplectic faces
of his dear friends, and at the look
of mild, sad "how could you do it,
reproach on the face of the man who
hires him, and he turned toward the
fatuously happy searcher for posi-
ton as dispenser of drinkables.
Come, with me, my man; come
with me-" he said, in slightly choked
voice, taking the seeker after a posi-
ton by the arm.
Together they walked away to lit
tie Office, where the official, sat down
and wrote the letter. And since that
time he has been debating whether he
would do best to kill the searcher for
position or the man who got him to
write the letter, or both.

washineton's Vegetable treasure.

One of the vegetable treasures of
the National Botanic garden at Wash
ington is a vine that is ancestor to
millions of it's kind in the United
States 1t is the ampelopsis veitchii,
an English immigrant, brought to this
country in 1854 by William R. Smith,
superintendent of the garden. Thus,
this man is foster father to vine that
climbs and clasps countless walls
the most general city vine in the
United States.
At the time of its importation by
Mr.. Smith, Bostonian also brought
over some seeds or cuttings of the
vine, and so many descendants of the
Boston vine are fiourishing that the
plant il sometimes called Boston ivy.

Sive dome OF that great HAL JIG
house of national legislation, writes
Smith D. Fry in the Pittsburg DIS
patch.
Peace and quiet reigned in Wash
ington, there was no political excite
ment, and there was neither provoca-
ton nor excuse for the deed, and yet,
on the afternoon of January 80, 1885,
an attempt was made upon the life OF
President Andrew Jackson. That was
the first effort that was ever made to
shock the American people with the
taking of the life of a president OF
the United States; fortunately it was
unsuccessful, and providentially so, for
the assassin was well prepared for his
direful deed. II was the work OF an
insane man.
On that afternoon the funeral serv-
ices of q deceased representative
from South Carolina were attended in
the hall of the old house of represen-
tatives, the part of the capitol now
known as Statuary hail. The funeral
was attended by the president, the
members of his cabinet, the United
States senate and the members of the
house of representatives.
After the conclusion of the sermon
and the benediction President Jackson
left the hall of the house at the head
of the procession, which was to escort
the remains of the deceased to the
Congressional cemetery. President
Jackson had crossed the rotunda and
was just about to step upon the east
ern portico when man rushed from
the crowd, leveled a pistol at the pres
ident when but five feet distant and
pulled the trigger.
The cap exploded with loud report
but the pistol was not discharged.
Dropping his pistol, the would-be as
sassin drew another, but Lieut.. Ged.
ney of the navy knocked the murderer
down, just as the president, without
fear of danger, rushed at the man and
struck at him with heavy cane.
Harriet Mirabeau, who attended the
| funeral, write: Il was in the gallery
during the funeral services, and saw

saw him rise, somewhat feebly, tC
follow the coffin. When l reached the
rotunda, the people were excited with
the news of the deed; and saw the
assassin rush into the rotunda, pur
sued and surrounded by the crowd.
saw his hands and bare arms strug
Cling above the heads of the crowd
in resistance to being handcuffed. He
was overpowered, conveyed to a car
rage and taken before a magistrate.
THE attack threw the old soldier
into tremendous passion. He fears
nothing, but his temper was not equa
to his courage. 1t was found neces
sary to put him into carriage ant
take him home. We feared what the
consequences would be. We had little
doubt that the assassin, Lawrence
was mad; and as little, that before
| the day was out, we should hear the
crime imputed to more than one pc
litical party or individual. And so /
was. Before two hours were over the
name of almost every eminent politi
clan was mixed up with that of the
