DUMB THROUGH STAGE FRIGHT
Young Singer Breaks Down in Middle
of Song Through Some Disease
as Yet Unknown.

. New Bedford, Mass. = Whether
Charles ]. B. Paquette, young singer
who broke down while singing at the
Pastime theater in Boston, was made
dumb through stage fright or some
disease is a question upon which two
medical experts cannot agree.
Paquette, who is % years old, has
not been able to utter a word since
he started to sing his second song on
his first appearance as professional
in the Boston amusement house.
DR.. Alphonse Normaudin of this
city has twice examined the young
man and says that he can find nothing
at all wrong with his vocal cords and
believes the patient could speak if he
would
A Fall River specialist, after exam
lining Paquette, declares he was strick-
IN dumb from some mysterious cause,
which as yet he has been unable to
fathom. Paquette scrawled on a piece
of paper: II am dumb" when a the
atrical manager demanded what he
meant by rushing from the stage.

When Joseph came to the surface
Miss Wilson was dozen feet from
him, vainly trying to reach the over

had sunk for the second time Joseph
grabbed her and pulled for the shore.
The bedraggled young man and

Dry clothes were given them, and
while their own were drying they took

marriage and was accepted.

PREFERS TRUTH TO HUSBAND.
Woman Tells Governor of Kentucky
Her Testimony Caused Him
to Leave Her.

frankfort, Ky.-Mrs. Emma DAILY
of, Covington is one woman in this
world who would rather take a chance
on losing her husband than to swear
to a lie. She has written to Gov Will.
son that she was witness in the
Uhly case in Kenton county, and that
her husband told her that if she testi-
fed in certain way that he would
leave her.
Mrs. Uhly was sister of her hus-
band, Charles Daily, but in letter to
Gov. Wilson Mrs. Daily says that she
swore opposite to the way her hus-
band wanted her to, although he
threatened to leave her if she swore
the way she did.
She tells the governor that her hus-
kept his promise, and has gone, but
she says she told the truth, and now
she wants her husband back and
wants the governor to help her find
him.
The letter is the biggest puzzle that
Gov. Wilson has received since he
came into office.

Members for Not Being Invited

school girls to the number of an even
dozen, in attendance on slumber

screaming from the house, attireG

night. They were drenched to the
skin with water, and the fiimsy night
robes chung to them like bathing
suits. They were hysterical with ex-
citement, and neighbors were aroused
by their excited clamoring.
Bad boys, members of high school
fraternity, had caused the general
exodus. They had been barred from
the party, and some of them on pass
ing the Vernon home late at night dis
covered that the parlor windows were
open.
The girls were asleep on the floor,
in chairs and on couches in the par
lor, and the boys attached a hose to
the hydrant in the front yard and di-
rected the nozzle at one of the open
windows. They then turned on the
water and the stream entered the
house, splattered against the wall on
the opposite side of the room and then
showered down on the sleeping forms.
The water deluged the girls, and, half
awake, they ran and stumbled from

The boys ran, but if they are found
out they will be turned over to their

about 100000, 100000 feet. These
holdings generally include the best
timber in the regions in which they
occur. They are the principal sources
OF the timber which is used to-day,
and upon the manner in which they
are managed depends in a large de-
gree the timber supply of the future.
The value of the forest products of
the United States in 1907, the last
year for which detailed data are avail
able, was approximately $1,2S0,OOO.0 900.
The fact that timber has been cheap
and abundant has made US careless of
its production and reckless of its use.
We are cutting our forests three times
as fast as they are growing. We take
$50 cubic feet of wood per capita an
nually from our forests, while Ger
many uses only 81 cubic feet and
France but 25. On the other hand,
Germany makes her state forests pro-
duce an average of 4S cubic feet of
wood per acre.
The necessity for more farm land
may eventually reduce our total for
est area to 100000, OGO acres less than
it is at present. 1t is entirely pos
sible. however, to produce on 450,-
100000 acres as much wood as a pop
ulation much greater than we have
now will really need if all the forest
land is brought to its highest produc-
ing capacity and if the product is
economically and completely utilized.

Miss Mitchell, who is under thirty
and one of the brightest women now

is the daughter of Marcus Mitchell,
postmaster of East Orange, N j., and
is graduate of Cornell university.
She looks less like a scientist than

1t developed the other day that
some one in Canada had mailed three
dozen eggs to an addressee in Brattle-

Taylor opened a mailbag he found it
dripping with eggs freshly scrambled.
Addresses were obliterated from let
tiers in many instances and they had

to that she had had wide experience
in the field following her course of
study at Cornell. The circumstances
under which Miss Mitchell obtained
her education at the big college in
which she pursued her interest in in
sect life are more than ordinarily in
teresting
When Miss Mitchell was a small
youngster playing about her parents
home in East Orange, she manifested
keen interest in everything that
craw3ad or flew. She brought some
thing more than discomfort into the
household when she introduced all
sorts of things, from spiders to bats,
and took delight in watching her cap
tiyes. When she was ten years old
she was sent to school, and shortly
afterward she came across book en-!
titled Ten Thousand Spiders" by
Burt Green Wilbur, professor of physi-
ology at Cornell university. This was
the first intimation she had that bugs
and beetles and such things were ever
made life study, and during the re-
naming years of her schooling in
East Orange she nursed the hope that
one day she could find Mr.. Wilbur
and study all about his Ten Thou
sand Spiders" with him.
Preparations had been completed by
her father for her entrance to Cornell
university, when reverses came and 1t
looked as If the young nature stu
dent would have to give up her ambi-
ton. She thought it out awhile and
then took French leave of her family,
going to Philadelphia, where she
asked John B. Stetson to lend her the
money, at interest, for her first year
at Cornell. The funds were forthcom-
ing. Miss Mitchell went to college,
and after her first year she worked
her way through, paid back the money
to Mr.. Stetson and was appointed an
instructor in field zoology at the. Cor
nell summer camp
1t was about this time that DR.. j.
W. Dupree, surgeon general of Louis
lana, sent to Cornell for "first-class
man" to be sent to the Louisiana
State university as field and labora-
tory assistant in mosquito work. Miss
Mitchell was selected as the man"
and she made good.
From Baton Rouge, La, Miss Mitch
ell came to Washington and began
her work for the government at the
