Upon to Face.

A Problem Most Merchants Are Called
Upon to Face.
Most retail and many general adver-
tisers have probably often been placed
in a position more or less similar to the
following, says w. H. Upson, Jr., In
Printers Ink:
A vivacious young woman with a
winsome manner enters your office.
She is strikingly gowned In tailor
made suit and as she enters, gives you
a gladstone smile that makes you Won
der II she Is some long lost friend. In
stinctively you straighten up, give your
coat a few bitches until its sets snug
ly and then, in order not to appear un-
appreciative, smile responsively back
at the fair visitor.
Next you hear a well-bred voice in
terrogatively mention your name, ana
upon your assuring her that you are
yourself, you are almost swept on your
feet by another winning smile from the
vision who modestly gazes at you with
a fond, deep look as she murmurs.
Mrs. Swell, whom I believe you are
intimately acquainted with and who,
you know, Is president Of the Lone Or
phans' society, asked me as personal
favor to her If I would not stop In to
see you and ask II you would not be so
kind as to take a page space In the
beautiful souvenir programme which
we are getting up for unique enter
tainment called Easy Money" which
is to be given next month for the poor,
dear little orphans Of the CITY,"
That one long Introductory sentence
is enough. You intuitively put your
hand on your pocketbook and assume
a frigid and worldly attitude. Your
first impression Of a childhood friend
is dropped and you know you are face
to face with a charmer who has an axe
to grind. But your Icy attitude Is
quickly melted as the fair one again
turns her soft and appealing eyes upon
you and dramatically tells you OF the
little ones in the city who must be
cared for. Under the magnetic spell
of the visitor, you wonder in few
minutes how you could have thought
of refusing to help the little tots, and
when finally the clever representative
of your philanthropic acquaintance
produces a contract, you almost cheer
fully sign for a page or half-page In
the wonderful programme at the price
of a hundred dollars or so per page.
But after the owner of the dulcet
voice has fitted through the door after
one last triumphant smile, remorse
comes and you wonder why you cap
itulated so easily to a professional So
licitor who probably gets more of your
money than do the poor orphans. 1t
Is, however, too late-there is no use
locking the barn after the horse Is
gone-and you thereupon resolve to
hereafter turn deaf ears and unseeing
eyes to fascinating strangers.
This typical illustration, actually
happening time after time, represents

Mrs. Steele is quite demented-she is
actually trying to strangle mel"
Pitt Rivers rushed out Of his library.
The scrimmage on the staircase did not
move him in the least. He heard only
the words-"Sergia has gone to Heron
croft" With a smothered malediction,
he tore out of the house.
AS he dashed down the garden walks
toward the pine-wood, for once his bold
heart failed him-a suffocating fear
choked his breath.
"Heroncroft!" he muttered. "Oh,
cursed disaster! All is lost"
Where now was the wonderful luck
which had attended the man through
years of daring adventure? Was his
star to suffer eclipse at last?-the tide
Of his singularly long and brilliant for
tune to turn all in moment? Unques-
tionably, his passion for Sergia Pole
had become OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ruling power Of his life, for all his
fears at this crisis assumed but one
form.
"I have lost her-lost her!" he kept
repeating, as he dashed under the
pines to the boundary wall.
All, no! His luck had not deserted
him-the tide of fortune was still set
ting strong and full in his favor. There
at the little gate, stood Sergia, fumb-
ling feebly, biindly, at its fastenings.
In unspeakable relief and Joy, he rush
ed and snatched her in his arms-dreW
her into his own grounds.
You have given me terrible fright,
child" he cried. '"In Gods name, what
has befalllen you? Where have you
been-what heard? You look crushed
heartbroken!"
Great shuddering breaths shook her
from head to foot.
II am both!" she gasped. II have been
to Heroncroft-I have seen But, no!
I cannot tell you what have seen-l
can never tell anyone-it Is dreadful"
She clung to him, as to last hope.
Don't ask me any questions" she
sobbed. 1.-The world is upside down
everything is false and unreal but you.
Hold me, or I shall fall"
He held her like vise-her heart
beat painfully against his own. He had
thought her lost to him forever, and
10! she was in his arms, and he saw
that her perilous visit to Heroncroft
had not driven her from him, but
straight against his breast.
I'm all the world" she said, you are
the only person who now cares for me-
guardy! You must never speak Of this
morning. will never speak Of II. But"
-desperately-"if you wish to marry
me, here is my hand. am yours, give
you my word, and I will not recall 1t
do with me as you will"

PROFITS OF FORESTS.
Practical Value of Woodlands In Ger
many ls very Great.

Practical Value of Woodlands In Ger
many Is very Great.
In view of the general interest In
municipal or communal forests, as ad-
v6cated in this country by the Ameri-
can Civic association, the report OBJ
tanned by 8. B. Elliott, Of the Pennsyl-
yania Forestry Reserve commission,
concerning the practical value OF such
woodlands in Germany is a remarkable
document. This shows the actual pro-
fits obtainable from public forests, ac-
cording to the American Civic associa-
tion.
There are 1,342,944 acres Of forests
in Baden, which state has total area
Of 3,726,665 acres. OF the wooded lands,
577,465 are owned by communities and
corporations. In Baden 1850 Of the l.
564 communities have forests and, In
addition, 2S7 schools, churches, 'hospi-
tails and other similar corporations are
engaged in practical forestry. From
these public forests there are allowed
to be cut yearly 261,724,30O board feet
of timber which has value Of $3,6O0,-
900 free of expense Of cutting.
AS an instance Of the communal for
ests, the city Of Baden has 10,576 acres,
the income from which is $100,471, as
against an outlay of $33,391, so that the
net profit Is $66,OSO, or, approximately
s6.25 an acre. In Frieburg, the forests
cover s,OS5 acres, representing total
income Of sS4,166, with an outlay OF
$37, $3.50, or a profit Of $46,SS6, or $5.7s
an acre. In Heidelberg, the forests
cover $3.50 acres. The income Is $685.
S34 and the outlay s27,1Ss, showing a
profit of $12,635. Heidelberg still Is
assuring land, and that expense nee
essarily reduces its net income.
In the village Of Braunlingen, which
has 1,6O1 inhabitants and 4,507 acres
of forests, there is an allowance to the
citizens Of firewood and 100000 board
feet Of lumber is given to churches,
schools and other public institutions.
From the timber sold the net income
Is $21,6O0 and Braunlingen Is not only
free from all communal taxes, but Is
enabled to establish electric plants, wa
ter works and other public improve
ments.
Even in the village Of Aufen, with
only 22O inhabitants. there are 163
acres Of timber lands. This gives 1000
board feet of firewood to each citizen,
and the $4,000 board feet Of timber
sold nets more than $1,400, which Is
sufficient for all expenses Of the little
community.
These advantages Of public forests
could be multiplied to the number OF
every community having them. Ac-
cording to the very latest report, the
various German states having produc-
tive communal forests are: Prussia,
6,3O9, ,109 acres; Bavaria, 2,041,4 acres;
Wuertemberg, 466,203 acres; Alsace-
Lorraine, 373,417 acres; Baden (do-
mains), 23O,S96 acres; Hessia Estate
and domains), 1888 acres; Prussia
Crown, 165,492 acres, and Fuersten-
berg, 74,493 acres.
In Hessia forests are being planted
upon land hitherto devoted to agricul-
ture.

ENGLISH IN INDIA.
One Observer Who Fails to Approve
of Their Course.

of Their Course.
There is no greater crime In modern
history than the ruthless regime OF the
English in India" G. T.. Farlow Of San
Francisco, said to Washington Hera'd
reporter. II visited the magnificent
palace of one of the native maharajahs
who was receiving s1,200,o0o year as
ruler under British guidance" contin-
ued Mr.. Farlow, who has spent many
years in India on business, land at the
very threshold was approached Tor
aims by starving man. England
taxes the country $1oo.o0o,ooo a year
for military that 1t does not need.
"One Of the great causes Of dssatis-
faction among Indians with the admin
Of their country by England
was the division Of the province Of Ben
gal into two provinces for administra-
tive purposes. Bengal is homogene-
Gus people, Of the size of the population
Of the United States. 1t may have been
expedient or necessary for govern
mental reasons to separate population
Of $4,000, 900 into two bodies, but the
methods which are used in effecting
this great division awakened intense
and bitter feeling. Partition day is
still observed as day Of humiliation.
1.-The belief that India, with her pop
ulation Of 3O0,000,000, though divided
by differences in religion and in Ian
guage, is one-one in place, one In des-
tiny-is a belief which grows with the
growing years. India for the Indians
is an increasingly potent and persua-
sive rallying cry. The cry Is heard,
with a certain note of shrill insistence,
In native newspapers. 1t is felt in GER
tain Christian missionary movements
in which Indian management, Indian
men and Indian money represent the
method and force Of propaganism. 1t
is further heard in private conversa-
ton. Nor Is this note Of national en-
phasis confined to the native people. 1t
belongs to not few Englishmen whose
present home is in Calcutta, Madras
or Delhi"

Some Monster Nests.-In Australia
are to be found the largest, heaviest
and most peculiar nests in the world.
These are the nests Of the jungle fowl,
so called, and are built in the form of
great mounds, the average measure

circumference $50 feet. The nests are
erected in secluded, sheltered spots.
and. as in the case of the small nests
Of birds, they are skilfully interviewer
with leaves, grass and twigs and such
other suitable material as the fowl may
be able to procure. A similar system
Is followed by the bush turkey, whose
home Is however, more comprehensive
in design. Its shape Is pyramidal 1t
has been asserted by Australian natur-
alists that the nests of the bush tur-
keys, which live in colonies, are so
large that to remove them requires the
services Of six or seven men. The ma
terial of a single nest has been found to
weigh upward Of five tons.
