Any fool can destroy tree, but it
takes Mother Nature century or
more to make one. The famous
temple Of Diana at Ephesus, costing
untold millions and one of the won
ders of the world, was set on fire by
fool that wanted to get his name
in the papers," Those that fell trees
seldom plant them. During man's S
life only saplings can be grown to
take the place of the centuries, old
trees that have been destroyed. It
took more than 5000 years to make
some of the trees in the Western
woods and to build up the noble
primeval forests, which the greedy
sawmill men ruined in a few years.
Nature preserves the tress for cen
turies, saving them from drought,
disease, avalauches ane a thousand
straining leveling tempests and floods
but she can not save them from the
fools. If we could kill off all the fools
we might save the trees, but the

Not one in a thousand of those
who sing that good old hymn, 'Blest
Be the Tie That Binds" knows the
history Of its homsly origin.
According to the Church Eclectic,
it was written by the Rev. John
Fawcett, who in the latter part of
the eighteenth century was the pas
tor of a poor little church in Lock
shire, England. His family respon-
sibilities were large; his salary was
less than 81 week.
In 1772 he felt himself obliged to
accept a call to London church.
His farewell sermon had been
preached, six wagons loaded with
furniture and books stood by the
door. His congregation, men, wo-
men and children, were in an agony
Of tears.
Mrs. Fawcett and her husband sat
down on a packing case and cried
with the Others. Looking up, Mrs.
Fawcett said:
"Oh, John, John, l cannot bear
this! know not where to go!"
Nor | either" said he; NOR will

everything back in its old place"
His letter Of acceptance to the
London church was recalled, and he
wrote this hynan to commemorate
the episode.

Just a Smile.

You can drive the clouds away
With a smile,
Just q smile;
Turn the darkness into day
With a smile,
Just a smile;
Oh, there's nothing, when a man
Feels the weight of sorrows yoke
In this whole wide world that can
All distress and grief revoke,
AS smile.
Just a smile.
How the way Is frightened up
| By smile
Just smile;
Sweetened is the bitter sup
By smile,
Just a smile;
Oh, the world may frown at you,
And your spirits try to blight,
But the skies are ever blue,
If you always have in sight
Just smile,
Merry smile.
It's simple little thing,
Is smile,
Just a smile;
But twill joy and gladness bring,
Will smile,
Just a smile;
Many hearts will dry their tears
And go singing on their way,
And they'll put away their fears,
Thinking Of the glad to-day,
By your smile,
Gladstone smile.
How the heavy burdens fall,
By smile,
Just smile;
Hope again beams over all,
By smile,
Just a smile;
Lonely lives are cheered each day,
Duties lightened, hearts made glad
Heavens beauty fills the way,
If to kindly words you'll add
Just a smile,
Happy smile!

prevent the governors from forming an
organization was the view
of Governor Davidson of Wisconsin,
who spoke briefly to that point. II was
much better, he said, TO have the presi-
dent left Independent of any organiza-
ton of the governors and to have a
governors organization independent of
the legislature.
Governor Folk of Missouri, in sup
porting the suggestion of Governor
Glenn, said that he did so because of
his objection TO taking any action which
might hereafter form a precedent. He
expressed the highest regard for the
office of the president of the United
States and a high personal regard for
its present occupant. However. he said
the present occupant cannot always
be president" Oaughter.)
Big Stick Good Thing Occasionally.
Suppose" continued Governor Folk,
that some time in the future there
should be some man in that office who
would want to use his power as might
be obtained from a gathering of gov
errors to coerce congress, for instance,
into adopting some law. daughter
Now, while we all think that the big
stick once in a while is a mighty good
thing (appiause), l don't know what
man hereafter may have that instru-
ment in his hands and so l, for one,
am unwilling to commit. not myself
but the man who may follow me as
governor of Missouri, to something
which may hereafter be used merely as
an instrument to accomplish the will
of the president"
Governor Noel interrupted governor
Folk as he was about to conclude by
asking him II he thought ii was not the

indicate that future conferences should
be held.

ATTITUDE IS DETERMINED
Commercial Club Will Fight to Limit
Against Increase in Freight
Rates,

When 1T became known that the
Commercial club was to take active
steps to prevent an increase of freight
rates over lines running into Salt Lake.
the officials of several railroads pointed
10 the fact that at the last meeting of
the state legislature the Commercial
club took an attitude of opposition to
the proposed creation of a state board
of railroad commissioners.
1T is true" said Fisher Harris, sec
rotary of the club. that this organiza-
ton was not at that time in favor of
railroad commission. That was be-
cause several of the lines were con-
templating extensive improvements,
and we did not wish to do anything to
discourage them.
But thisN thing of increasing freight
rates is a different matter. 1t would
affect merchants and manufacturers,
and. in fact, every man, woman and
child within the state.
I'VE intend to fight against an in
crease in the freight rates to the limit
of our strength.
Similar commercial bodies all over
the country are taking the same atti-
tude."

Thaw's counsel IN the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings instituted TO free him from con-
finement at the Matteawan asylum for
the criminal insane. where he was lodged
at the conclusion OF his trial for the kill
ing of Stanford White.
Dr. George q. Jacoby, qualifying an
expert, said that he had examined Thaw
twice during his stay at Matteawan. He
had found Thaw, he said. logical, with
good memory and capable of following
an argument. lie gave il as his un-
qualified opinion that Thaw was sane at
present.
Dr. Graeme Hammond. another expert
on mental diseases, the last witness of
the session, declared that ThaW was not
a paranoiac. and, in his opinion. was sane
now.
An interesting development of the day
was the quoted report of A. Russell Pea
body, OF Iha~'s counsel. that ThaW
would go on the witness stand.
Experts called by Mr.. Jerome earlier in
the day testified that in their opinion
ThaW was an incuTable paranOiac and
that his release would be dangerous. TO
