JUST A woMAn's l.rrLE JOKE,
How 1t Led to a Suit at Law and
Serious Complications.

Mrs. Margaret Gatty, one Of Brat
tleboro's wittiest society women.
planned and enacted a Joke: now she
Is the defendant in an action at law,
while the society of that Vermont city
Is awaiting with glee the outcome of
the affair. says the Boston Post.
1t all emanated from . bright idea"
conceived by Mrs. Gatty and a few of
her society friends who had become
firmly convinced that James Fl. Hook
er, attorney and wealthy clubman. was
working altogether too hard and need
ed a little diversion to distract him
from the righteousness of SO busy
summer. " ~ ''.''
One day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an amount
OF work beside him that promised to
keep him in his Office into the wee
small hours Of the night, the telephone
at his elbow rang.
Taking up. the receiver Mr.. Hooker
listened TO the apparently distracted
voice OF Mrs: Gatty, one of his ac-
qualntances. Mrs. Gatty appeared to
be greatly overweight and explained
that dreadful attempt had Just been
MADE TO sWfndle her out of a sum of
money. that the alleged swindler had
left a handbag behind, and would Mr..
tiooker come up Immediately and open
The bag and discover, if possible, the
identity of the. guilty person.
the young lawyer hastily clapped
OH his hat: and FASTENED up to Mrs.
Gatty fashionable residence.
He was ushered into the drawing
room and the bag was shown him.
Without further parley t. lawyer
opened the bag and extracted a nice
yellow lemon. Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terlngs which emanated from different
rccesses of the drawing room he
bowed and withdrew, after declaring
gracefully that he felt that the case
was settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs. Gatty received q
Dill for services made out in the usual
form. Under the conviction that this
Dill was merely the humorous revenge
by Mr. Hooker for the joke played
upon him the bill was pigeonholed.
Much to her CONSERVATION a sheriff
appeared recently at Mrs. Gatty's
ZONE and served the papers in a suit
for fees due to Mr.. Hooker for sery-
ices.
The whole city is interested in Law
yer Rockers plan for revenge and fac.
tons have already been formed.

The creation, fostering and develop
ment of any great enterprise to which
the state of California is particularly
adapted is the duty of every true citi-
zen, of every commercial body, or
every local, county or state organiza-
tion. And when such an enterprise or
industry is weighted with utmost i'm
portance to the future of the state and
the nation and to the maintenance and
perpetuation of our civilization ana
greatness, that duty becomes a pa
triotic duty and a solemn obligation.
The culture of the timber eucalypts
on a huge commercial scale Is such
an industry: the industry is of such
state and national importance; and 1t
is a duty of our public spirited citi-
zens to understand, the duty of every
local. county and state body, organized
for the public good, to gather and dis
seminate accurate and concise knowl-
edge of this wonderful genus of tim
ber trees-the eucalypts.
One of the greatest problems con-
fronting the coming generation, and

an adequate timber supply. The his
tory of the world shows that re-
progression and decay follow in the
wake of timber exhaustion, that civil
ization and progress are absolutely de-
pendent on unfailing timber supply.
Two short years ago the term "com-
mercial eucalyptus" was an unknown
and unappreciated coinage. For long
1t appeared in type in quotation marks
indicating it an uncertain quantity.
These terms are becoming so common
with the public that another year Will
find a full definition on the tongue or
every live man.
Two short years ago the usual an
swer to argument was: Boom! Fake!
and other facetious comments without
end. Today evidence and argument Is
sought and not repelled.

Woman Near Cottonwood severely
burned and Home Destroyed.

Mrs. John Johnson. who Tor some
time has resided with her on
a homestead near the little town OF
Cottonwood. I'm the southern portion OF
Stanley county, was perhaps fataiiy
burned by pouring a quantity or kero-
sene oil on some newspapers when
she had placed in the stove. Wheh
she applied a match there was an ex-
plosion and her clothing was set on
fire. She rushed To a water tank, IN
which she threw herself. but not until
practically all the clothing had been
burned from her body. The water
tank was about 500 yards from her
home. When found I'm the tank by q
neighhor she was unconscious. The
most serious burns were across her
back and stomach and ON her hands
and arms. the flesh III places being lit
orally cooked and falling off the bones,
At the time of the accident Mr.. John
son was at a point twenty miles east or
Cottonwood. They were married only
about three months ago. The flames
had communicated themselves to the
dwelling. which was entirely con
sumed.

husband while in the employ of the
railroad company. Therefore the To-
connective, after being in possession Of
