This only grant me-that my means

Too low for envy, for contempt too

Not from great deeds, but good

Not on the number, but choice. of

And sleep, as undisturbed as death.

Thus would l doubt my life's fading
space,
For he that runs it we'll twice runs
his race;
And in this true delight,
These unbought sports, this happy

But boldly say, each night,
Tomorrow let my sun his beams

Or in clouds hide them! have lived

PROTECTING THE TIMBER.
L0uisiana'S Forest Law Proposed by
Governor Blanchard.
PROTECTION ESSENTIAL TO PROSPERITY.
U. S. Forest Service.)

u. S. Forest Service.)
| If the legislature of Louisiana
passes the forestry law proposed by
Governor Blanchard of that State,
and said to have the support of the
largest timber owners, it will be the
most advanced step yet taken Ly any
State to regulate timber cutting on
private lands. By the terms Of the
proposed statute the cutting of trees
under twelve inches in diameter
four feet from the ground will not
be permitted. The law does not ap-
ply to those who, in good faith, wish
to clear the land for agricultural
purposes, or who need the timber on
the ground for roads or bitches. or
in case an owner or tenant who uses
the wood for domestic purposes.
The lumbermen will be required
to fell the trees in way to cause
least damage to young timber, and
the refuse must not be left where
its presence will invite fire or other
wise endanger the small trees. The
penalty provided for violations of
proposed law is fine Of S25 to 500
for each offense, and Imprisonment
may be added. Each tree wrong
fully cut will constitute separate
offense. The proposed law not only
delimits offenses and names penal
ties, but also sets forth the reasons
why such a law is thought advisable.
Timber is becoming scarce, it says,
and ought not be needlessly wasted.
Forest destruction will carry with it
other evils besides dearth of wood.
1t will cause destruction, soil erosion,
and increase floods and droughts, to
the damage of the whole people.
The forests ought not be wholly cut
down, the proposed law further says,
because they assist in obstructing
disastrous tornadoes.
Ihe supreme Court OF Maine re-
Gently ruled that that State may
lawfully restrict the clearing of pri-
vately-owned forest land, if the pub
lie would be injured by such clear
ing. Louisiana's proposed law goes
still further in the same direction
and follows the lines of the opinion
rendered by the Maine Supreme
Court. 1t is worthy of note that
the two States which are first to
take this advanced stand in forest
protection are fifteen hundred miles
apart and have forests not at ali
alike in character, different soils,
climates with few points in common,
crops of wholly different kinds,
geography and topography of oppo-
site extremes, yet each realizes the
immense impor. ance Of its forests
and how essential their protection is
to the continued prosperity of its
people.

WOMAN'S CLUB STUDIES

A Practical Lesson in Domestic Sci

The exercises yesterday at the woman's Club were of an unusual character. and very interesting. The meeting was in charge of the house. hold economies department, Mrs. E. T. Ceilings. chairman.
 The first number on the program was piano solo. "Minuet in D." which was charmingly rendered by Miss Hazel DeMund. This was fol- lowed by a vocal solo. Sunshine and Buttercups." given in pleasing style by Miss Anna s. Matthews.
 The club then adjourned to the Central school building. where pupils under the direction Of Miss Francis, instructor in domestic science gave practical demonstration of their work in that department. Fifteen young girls. from the seventh and eighth grades. each wearing the cooks cap and apron. proceeded to make in the presence of the club appetizing pop overs. gingerbread. plain cake. baking powder biscuits. snaps. soft cooked custard. tapiOca custard and foamy Omelet.
 The systematic manner. the neat HtHS anu uiSpdltii llldl nldTkeu every step of the demonstration was notice able. The little housemaids seemed thoroughly at home and self-possess- ed as the visitors passed in their tour of inspection. Miss Francis. on re quest, gave recipes for the making of some particularly inviting dishes Re treatments of cake and lemonade were then served.
 Miss Amy White favored the com pany with two humorous recitations. Kitty of Coleraine," and "Katie's An ker." Both were well done.
 Prof Stilwell addressed the club. thanking the ladies for the interest manifested by them in this essential department of education. He felt that through the helpful suggestions of the mothers meetings, the outgrowth of club influence, an impetus had been given to the work. He spoke of the needs of more commodious rooms and furnishings necessary to make this branch of school work the success it merits. He wished to bespeak the ad- vice and cooperation of the club in the continued furtherance of so laud- able an enterprise.

This school house has been constructed un- der rather unssual conditions. After floods that tore down one school house after another. the dis trict found itself in need of a build ing and with but small resources for constructing one. The last legisla- ture appropriated s10,400 for that pur pose and the Clifton people raised s4,- 900 or $5.000 more and added to the fund. for the erection of what is now a very creditable structure and one 1t is believed that is safe from future floods.

for them and this application was made in an informal manner. The ap- plicant simply called at the office of the sheriff, said that he wanted li- cense and rendered the money for it.
 The sheriff is now sending out a notice to saloonkeepers of this county informing them that their licenses will expire on March 31 and notifying them that application will have to be made to the board of supervisors for renewal. The notice is accompanied with an application blank, specially prepared and which when filled out will put the board in possession of all the information they will require re- garding the worthiness of the applica- tion. The notice also informs the sa- loonkeepers that the board will sit on March 31 at ten o'clock for the con sideration of such applications.
 The law puts the whole matter of granting or rejecting applications for licenses into the hands of the board but it is not thought that it will be exercised unfavorably to any appli- cants whose business has hitherto been conducted in a lawful and respectable manner.
 Though no example may be made of any applicant, the fact that such power exists in the board will have a tendency to elevate the standard of the saloons in this county.
