On the contrary it was because he
loved her so fervently that he would

STORY OF :
: Mr.. LAMB

who was one Of the men who went
with Mr.. Lamb. And Il ANYBODY
said in his absence Old Fippecanoe
was a liar they had to fight Uncle
Harvey. II Ttppecanoe was there,
he could attend to his own fighting.
Still, 1t isn't on record that Uncle
Harvey had to do much fighting on
Tfppecanoe's part, because it wasn't
particularly healthy Ia those days
and parts to press things too fat
with any Harrison.
"Wsll." began tue Story Teller.
Once there was man. And his
name was Mr.. Lamb. And his fath-
CT fought In the Revolutionary War
and got killed. And he was only
LITTLE BIT OF boy then. But. a.
tor awhile. he grew UP into q man
and got married and had two chill
dren, both boys. But they were only
little bits OF boys when Mr.. Lamb
moved away out to Northern Ohio,
whore there were still lots of real
live Indians at the time. And folks
never knew when they were safe.
Cause, in those days you couldn't
depend much on Indians, any more
than you can nowadays. But. of
course. nowadays you don't have to
depend on Indians as much as then.
Caase nowadays there amt but q
few Indians left, and all the white
FOLKS, II they had to depend upon
Indians. would be In 4 pretty bad
dx.
But. anyway, when Mr.. Lamb
moved away out into Northern Ohio,
folks either had to depend a good
deal upon Indians, or else fight 'em!
And when folks fought Indians in
those days somebody on both sides
usually got killed. So, you see. 1t
meant something to be a pioneer in
those days. It meant life or death.
$50, after Mr.. Lambs wife died,
he didn't know hardly what to do.

 Here is a system of co-education wherein we may have the weather made while we wait. with the privilege of inspecting the process of manufac- ture. We are to learn by observation the origin of the mysterious prediction which we read on the morning card on the elevator, at the postoffice. or in some other public place. We are to learn that it is not really the weather man who is the prevaricator: but that old Meteorology himself is capacious and not always reliable. It may be that the whole scheme was cleverly designed by the weather man to estab fish in the realm of truth and veracity character that has long been ma ligned.

FOREST PRESERVATION.

The Governments efforts to save the country's forests are impeded by the fact that the city man. who holds the balance of political power, is apt to think that the woods have nothing ,o do with him. This is mistake, of course. and it is worth pointing out
 It is true that spinach and spring chickens do not grow on forest trees; and that such things come to the city market without much regard to poit- ical opinion. But the preservation of the country's great natural resources of wood and stream is political issue. And at this point our cockney ignor- ance and complacency need to be pierced by sane rays of light from the rural world.
 In point of fact the wood supply Is next in importance to the food supply. It is probably more indispensable than the supply of iron or coal.
 In the making of houses, furniture and tools and a thousand things that might escape cursory thought-not the least of which is the making of newspapers-the forests of the country provide primary staple of city life.
 We learn by a recent bulletin of the National Forest Service for example that an average American citizen uses up in d year seven times as much wool as citizen of Germany. And we are told that Americans produce on an acre of woodland only quarter as much as the Germans do. Thus the score of this international competition in the fores- try game stands about 1 to 2S in favor of Germany
 We are assured by our Government experts that there IS no natural reason why we shouldn't grow as good crops of trees in this country as are grown anywhere in Europe. And it is plain that the improvement and perpetuation of the wood supply is a matter of pub lie education--in which city people are bound to bear a leading part.
