THE CHILD WHO NEEDS HELP.

Whoever thinks that there is boy
or girl anywhere totally devoid of a
knowledge of games? The reports Of
the Playground Association of Ameri-
ca show that In the large cities like
New York the children Of slums do
not know how to play except a few
games of the street, largely vicious and
sometimes cruel. The time-honored
sports so common with children % the
smaller cities and still more so with
the fortunate children Of the country
and the villages are unknown to the
little ones Of the mean streets of Man.
haitian. They are unlearned even in
the joys Of leapfrog and hide-and-
seek. Strangers in the ghetto Of New
York have often noticed children sit
ting on the curb unable to join in the
games of the stronger, and some
times. because Of their low vitality and
half-starved condition. unwilling to do
else than remain still.
The endeavor to enlighten these
children and to add pleasure to their
lives invites the cooperation OF
the people everywhere. 1t tells for a
better manhood and womanhood and
better citizenship.

TOO MUCH LAW.

No one ever ventures TO deny the
assertion that there is too much law"
It is fact that the enacted law is
not one-tenth part Of the proposed
laws; and yet every now and then
some eminent jurist arises to say that
there Is ten times too much law. No
legal debater rises to say this is a
mistake.
Now the editor Of the Bristol Press
calls attention to the fact that we
are living in IAN age of law and a
lawless age" at the same time max
ing no note Of the unwritten law,
which Is so often appealed to for the
purpose OF annulling good and Just
law. In his sarcasm he says:
But II Ia huniliating. II is dis
tinct confession that our people are
incapable Of leading decent lives with
out constant admonitions and direc-
lions from headquarters. Why not au-
thorize the chief Of police to issue each
morning a bulletin for the days con-
duct and then each night have a pub
lie spanking and a supperless to-bed
for all those who will not be good ac-
cording to the code7
Poor. frail, irresponsible humanity.
1t Is depressing to think what would
happen 10 It II It were not for the
army Of law-makers who act as its
guardian angels, and dictate every ac-
ton as chessplayers move their mem"
There is no use of taking the sit
uation too seriously. II II was not

laws thew would be as well buried IN

THE PUBLIC DOESN'T REALIZE.

Forestry doesn't appear TO be a Sc
rious matter to only those who sell
and buy timber and those who know
that three times as much lumber is
being used as our forests are produce
ing.
And the state forester Of Connects
cut informs US that here in this state
that the wood is being cut off at the
rate OF $4,000 more cords each year
than Is being produced. We complain
a little at the price Of wood. but
there is no general movement to re-
establish the balance, to make the
growth equal to the number of cords
annually cut.
The way in which we are cutting
down trees today means that the sup
ply Of nIerchantable timber will be ex-
hausted in about twenty years At
the end Of that time there will be a
large amount Of forest standing in the
country, but It will be in tracts under
forty years Of age, containing wood
below the most profitable size for cut
ting. Cordwood could still be cut, but
supplies Of the most profitable prod
ucts. like ties and lumber, would be
practically exhausted.

CIRCULATION
the INTERNATIONAL STOMACH

While Governor Lilley was away on
a visit TO Lakewood. n. J., the story
was given out that his stomach had
been unequal to the banqueting It had
been subjected to; and If this were
true 1t is in keeping with very com
mon American habit TO which many
able American statesmen have fallen
Victims but since Governor Lilley has
returned to the state and is booked for
a banquet tomorrow night. It does not
seem as II the story was true.
What has been said by the papers on
this subject has shown that the BAN
quoting habit has worked bad in
scores Of cases and that their solicit
tude for the governors health is gem
uine.
The Hartford Times is right when II
says that the dining which goes with
the executive ONCE is both a pleas
ure and a hardship. II carries both
rewards and penalties-and the penal
ties are likely to be excessive unless
the governor is cautious"
Perhaps Governor Lilley needs no
cautionary words, but It Is not amiss
to show him that the perils Of pleas
ure must be guarded against.

ANXIETY ABOUT ROOSEVELT.

Colonel Roosevelt has a family re-
union at Oyster Bay today and on
Tuesday he will be off for foreign
shore bearing with him the best wish
es Of the American people for his sue
cess and safe return.
The anxiety caused by the expressed
fears Of Professor Starr Of the Chi
cago university were so far-reaching
that Mr.. Roosevelt has been pestered
with letters soncitous for his welfare
and warning him TO abandon his ex-
petition but he has laughingly assured
the public that he has no fear and
will be in New York again on schedule
time.
An anxious boy writes the Atlanta
Constitution;
Mr.. Roosevelt is goin' to hunt Lions
in Africa. I'm sorry for the Lions. as
there won't be no more for Circuses.
Mr.. Roosevelt won't be like Daniel in
the Lions Den. The Lions won't do
anything to Mr.. Roosevelt, but what
he will do to them will be caution.
They amt no use for a Boy to go
Bear Hunting in this country any
more, as Mr.. Roosevelt killed all the
Bears that were worth while. He
would have killed all the Indians, too,
but what was left Of them took to
their heels when they heard Him COM
in"
Now Methodist bishop is authori-
ty for the statement that Mr.. Roose-
welt has a higher purpose than slay-
ing big game-that he is to visit the
missionary stations and that his visit
to Africa means more for the Chris
tianization Of Africa than anything
which has ever happened in modern
times.
We may feel anxious for Roosevelt,
but no one can tell what the fruitage
Of this trip viii be until time reveals

Heatinn Gas ouena.

The oven Of a gas range is better
than the old-fashioned coal range,
which accounts for the difficulty some
times encountered by beginners in
their use in successfully and evenly
baking. To obtain the best results for
baking loaf cakes. etc. the oven should
not be heated more than five minutes
before using, but it should be heated
FIVE minutes and when the baking is
begun, a moderate heat should be
maintained. A full realization that
the heat in a gas range is direct and
certain and easily controlled will bring
success to the user. Once YOU know
how long it takes and what degree Of
heat to cook an article. you will never
again make a failure, If you are care
full to watch the time.
