hours steam from the Philippines. 1t
may be possibly termed the key to
the far east.
The great activity. feyerlsh haste
and magnitude OF operation upon
which the Island of Eormosa Is being
equipped has caused grave apprehen-
sion in administration circles. Ac-
ceptlng the profuse assertions OF
friendllness made by Japan. the Unit

zled by the lntenre and warlike activ-
fly OF the island Kingdom.

Prisoners Find Implement to
Use in Digging to Liberty,
But He Was Watchful.

Prisoners in the city jail made an
attempt at freedom yesterday after
noon. but the alertness of Jailer Wade
Brown foiled their attempts. Yester-
day being cold, the changing was not
taken out for work, and Jailer Brown
put the white and colored prisoners
in the corridor for exercise. He made
frequent trips into the Jail to prevent
an attempt at freedom, and at the
door on the east side he noticed a
horse shoe on the floor. An investiga-
tion showed that some of thy. prison.
ers had secured the horse shpe and an
attempt was being made y pry on
the lock. when he was heart coming

FOREST RESERVE

PRES. ROOSEVELT

Atlanta. Ga, Jan. 1i.-Prosident
Logon Johnson. OF the Appalachian
National Forest association, received
a letter from President Roosevelt.
warmly indorsing the work Of the as
ISOLATION relative TO the preservation
of the Appalachian forests The pres
ident's letter quotes speech he de-
llye;sd az Raleigh. y. c., in October.
1905. and then says:
1--WE know also that these forests
are Of the utmost importance to navi-
cation on the streams to which they
give rise. All the water which falls
in the Southern Appalachian goes to
the sea through navigable channels.
which 1t has cost the government over
$50. O0O. 900 TO keep clear from sand,
silt and gravel. This ds;ritus Is iu-
creasing every year as the mountains
are .denaded of their cover.
'"rhe task of cleaning out the south
ern streams and harbors grows
heavier each year. Until we remove
the cause by protecting these noun
tain forests from fire and reckless
cutting. we shall inevitably expend
increasing sums without permanent
results.
Eight years ago the movement for
the purchase of these forests took
definite shape. While II has grown,
and is stronger now than ever, its
merits should make 1t far stronger
than II is. Therefore ! am pleased at
the organization OF your association
with the definite purpose OF getting
these forests established. As said
In my last message to congress, we
should acquire in the Appalachian and
White Mountain region the forest

the use of the nation

JAP MAY GET WORK

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE war de-
partment has not been informed as
yet of the reported withholding of the
contract for the construction of forth
fications In Hawaii for the alleged
reason that the Japanese were really
the lowest bidders.
Investigation here shows that only
a limited amount of fertilization work
is now in progress there, and the Off
cials see no reason why any line
should be drawn on account of the
nationality Of those who are to do
this work, the nature Of which cannot
be concealed, so that they would hesi-
tate before they rejected the lowest
bidder on that account.

THE SWISS PENSION.
Peculiar Manners at the Boarding
W. House Table d'Hote. ~

Peculiar Manners at the Boarding
zss- House Table d'Hote.
The distinctive thing about a Swiss
pension is the table d'hote. The table
d'hote has its own set Of conventions.
You can always tell an old pension
naire by the way he sputters when he
eats his soup, by the way he stabs a
piece Of bread from the bread basket
with his knife and by the keen eye
he has for picking out the best piece
Of meat. By some mysterious system,
known only to the maid, she always
offers you the platter with the fork
seductively placed in the smallest,
poorest portion. Your skilled pension
naire Is never caught by this trick.
He always removes the fork from the
piece indicated and rakes over every
thing till he finds the best. This is not
impolite in a pension. It is the con-
ventional thing. $5.... 81 s.5sss. y
In order to prevent any undue adj
vantage the maid has a, system Of ro-
tation. First she begins at the head
Of the table and works down the
right side. With the next course she
begins at the foot and works up the
left side. II she forgets where she
stopped and begins wrong there Is an
immediate howl from those who are
getting cheated. This causes many
bitter and stormy arguments ALBERT

Three actors who played recently at
a Pittsburg theater created consider
able excitement at the Hotel Lincoln
one afternoon. Shortly after noon q
man whom every one would have
sworn was William Howard Taft en-
tered and hurried up the elevator
without registering. Right ON his
heels came William Jennings Bryan
and followed Taft upstairs. When
the spectators, whose numbers had
increased to several hundred, were al
most beside themselves William RAN
dolph Hearst came in and followed
them. . 1s#a. S.@s8
Finally the spectators could stand 1t
no longer and stormed the parlors
where it was said the three had gone.
Here the three were found in earnest
conversation. Finally the police had
to be summoned to clear away the
crowd. Then it came out that the
three men were William Johnston, Ed
ward R. Brooks and Corney Burton,
actors, made up to resemble the dis
tinguished men. u.

System # Education LOOKING q Pro.

System Of Education Looking to Pro
lection OF Life and Limb. 5s
The anthracite coal mining compa
MES are about to embark upon an edu
catfonal scheme which, the official
think, will do more to lessen the mum
Der of accidents than any other which
could be devised. Its purpose is Il
give to the rank and file Of mine work
ers the opportunity to learn mining
from experts. They will learn at the
same time how to protect themselves
and their fellows and how to over.
come the difficult engineering prob
lens encountered in the anthracite
fields
The pioneer in the movement is the
Lehigh Valley Coal company, says a
Wilkesbarre (Pa.) dispatch. 1t is prac-
tically certain, however, that She other
large anthracite mining companies will
follow suit, giving practically every
mine employee the opportunity for in
struction. The door to promotion will
thus befhrown open to the humblest
employee s<s-4 !.
# AT LOST creek the Lehigh Valley has
made arrangements to soon open the
first school. A room has been fitted up
with desks, blackboard and other nee
essary paraphernalia. A reference Ii
sbrary and periodicals devoted to min
ing subjects are also provided. Every
body In the mine, from veteran down to
breaker boy, will be invited to attend.
The hope that the educational work
viii substantially reduce accidents is
based upon facts recently reported by
the state department Of mines. James
p. Roderick, chief of the department,
says that ignorance or carelessness
causes the great majority Of casualties.
Especial emphasis will be laid upon
! the protection. Of life and limb. No
text book will be regarded as Of SO
much Importance as the rules and reg.
ulations for safety.
