PREDICTION OF BIG WAR.
Clifford Pinehot Says Forest Rangers
 Will Be tho Men For Scouts.

Declaring it is only from the forest rangers in the service of the United States that scouts can be recruited for service in the great war that is com ing" Clifford Pinchot, chief forester of the department of agriculture, startled his hearers at a recent dinner in New York of the Campfire Club of America by discussing war as If conflict were unavoidable.
 Tn the great war which this coun-' try will fight, but which hope with all my heart it will not have to fight soon," MT. Pinchot said, "the only quarter to which this government could look for scouts, whose service in war is so essential, is to the bureau of forestry. There, and there only, are men being trained in such fashion that they would be of service.
 Tt is of importance that we pre- serve the forests and the game, but it is more important that we be in con dition to furnish for service in that war the material out of which good scouts can be made. The forest rangers make up this material"
 He also said there is in the United States now timber enough for less than thirty years and coal enough to last less than hundred years.
 In introducing MT. Pinchot, A. A. Anderson, president of the club, spoke of him as the man who has done more than any other man in this coun- try to preserve the forests"
 "The work of the bureau of forest ry," said MT. Pinchot. lis the only work done by government bureau with an outlook of several hundred years. We are trying to preserve the grass, the water and the timber, which are so essential to us all. but which in the past have been outrageously vast ed.
 'The nation has been too prodigal. We are old enough now to save. and in the bureau of forestry we have one of the most powerful saving forces"

Delicate odors From Hairnins.

NoI We'll, keep open your weather eye or your better nostrll, for a report comes from Paris that scented hairpins are the latest novelties fin hairdress- CTS window. The knob at the top of the hairpin has a spring. which at 6 slight touch releases a tiny spray Of perfume ".fhe idea is always to in- sure absolutely fresh perfume" says the hairdresser. We have found that a scent, especially when delicate. is likely to become stale after it has been exposed to the air for a couple of hours. Nothing is more aggressive than perfume in that condition. It is easy for woman to go through the motion of batting her hair or replacing q hairpin, and that is all that is nec- essary to release the perfume. These scented halrpins are made in gold for blonds, tortoise shell for brown hair. dark comss for auburn haired women and silver for gray locks"

WHITES LEGAL FAME.
Maryland Senator Won Case by Being
 Present When Trial Was On.

Maryland senator won Aasc py boiH8
 Present When Trial Was On.
 The prowess as q lawyer of William Pinkney Whyte, the United States sen ator from Maryland who recently died at his home In Baltimore, extended all over the country. One incident when he was governor of Maryland will serve to illustrate it. Soon after he had won the case of the state against James, reported in the sixty-third Maryland reports, in which he &C., quilted the traverser under the law prohibiting the selling of pools, man who looked like a sport walked into Governor Whyte's office and said:
 "Is this William Pinkney Whyte?"
 Tt is," said the governor.
 Well" said the man, s'I want you to go to Philadelphia with me"
 The governor felt like asking wheth- CT his peremptory visitor was police man; but, refraining from that, he merely asked for an explanation.
 The man replied that some friends of his under indictment in the criminal court of Philadelphia were about to be tried for violating the pool selling law there and that he had been informed that if Governor Whyte could be in duced merely to appear in Philadel- phia, as if he intended to defend the case, so that the state attorney there could actually see him, the prosecu tions would be dismissed.
 Governor Whyte was incredulous and so informed his visitor but the man insisted and agreed to pay any fee the governor asked merely for trip on his part to Philadelphia. The governor named his fee, which was promptly paid, and the next morning he met his client in the Quaker City.
 To his amazement he was assured by the local counsel of his client that what he had been told by him was true. The governor was then asked to take his place in the balcony in the courthouse on the morning of the trial, so e,uated that the state attorney was bound to see him. He was instructed to be read ing newspaper and to sit quietly as if waiting. The governor obeyed his in- structions, and soon out of the corner of his eye he saw the state attorney pass along and stop and look fixedly at him and then go hurriedly on. In less than half an hour his client came to him and told him he might go back to Baltimore, as the case had been nolle pressed.

Duel Win Canes Instead of Swords.

Fifteen minutes slashing with canes marked the latest form of students duel at Lissa. The students of the technical high school have decided not to use deadly weapons for the decision of affairs of honor. In the recent con test the students met in a wood. where the seconds marked out a ring. The antagonists stripped to the waist, a cane Of equal length was handed to each. and st the word of command they began slashing furiously. After a quarter of an hour one of them over stepped the limits Of the ring He was declared to he the loser. but 1t was difficult to decide which of the oppo- nsnts had suffered most. as their ribs, arms and backs presented the appear snce of having been hayeL University circles. where duels with swords with whieh only tie hcad and face may be rut have hithrVto beea the only rcco- nizel form oF students dueis. ar greatly stirred over the attempted il noyation

NO EXACT PROGRAM.
But The Netherlands Has Weather Eye
on Venezuelan Ports.

The Hague, Dec. 9.-The Netherlands
government apparently has not yet de-
cided upon any exact course of pro-
redure against Venezuela, but it is in
timated here today that the patrol OF
the Venezuelan coast by three Dutch
warships. which began last Wednes-
day. may develop into more active
measures in the event of any Vene-
.zuelan warship attempting to make an
exit from port. Should any of Pres
dent Castros ships find themselves on
the high seas within range of the guns
Of the Dutch vessels. there is a strong
probability that they would be arrest
ed and taken into a Dutch port The
law on this subject is now
being carefully considered by Holland
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-12-10

A member of the Presidents en-
tourage expressed the opinion today
that various governments would be
very much surprised when certain doc
uments in the possession of President
Castro were shown to them.
President Castro has every reason
to believe that things will go smooth

has left matters in excellent shape

ed as fully competent to handle the
situation. When one of his aides was
Informed of the reported revolutionary
expedition under Gems. Rolande and
Fernandez, which is now said to be
in process of organization at Curacao,
the officer smiled and declared the
movement would he utterly abortive.
Pl esident Castro was informed of the
Dutch naval demonstration off the
&C asst of Venezuela, but he would make
no comment.
All the passengers on board the
GuadeIoupe who talked with President
Castro on the trip over, We're great
ly impressed with his remarkable in
telligence and his strong personality.
The allegations that Castro declared
in an interview once that he was proud
of the fact that his government was
on bad terms with most of the Powers
of Eurore is disbelieved by those who
know the President closely. Nor is
it thought that he is trying to create
a federation Of the states of North
and South America against Europe and
the United States. 1t was explained
by one Of his aides that President Cas-
tro regarded international relations as
business that could be attended in large
measure by consuls and that the Pres
ident had little patience with diplo-
