Big TASK OF MISREPRESENTATION:
The Department Of Agriculture Has 5
Million Acres to Plant in Trees.

James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture,
in Suburban Life for April.
The question is howtto get tree seeds
to grow, particularly out west in the
forest ranges. We have 1853 million
acres now. Last summer I went out
e among the trees, as I had done
for several summers. A nice question
has been in our minds, how to get re-
f~orestation done. or course you can
plant seeds in a bed and then lake
them up with a spade and set them
out where you want them set, and all
that. If the department of agriculture
had all the army and all the navy they
could never get II done I'm time. We
have probably s million acres to plant.
We ought to be reforestating $780,
900 acres a year-think Of that! You
can never do that with a spade in the
world; you could never get It done. Ma
ture should be followed along those
lines.
I recollect the first time r went out
there and discussed this proposition
with some OF the people there. II I
were wanting to get a field to grow
grass that had no grass On 1t, I would
SOW the grass seed on the last SHOWS
in the spring, and the seed would sink
down into the soil and would be moist
ened n would terminate before the
moisture from the spring rains and
snow affected deleteriously the roots.
That is the way we get pastures more
quickly. Sow the seeds in the last
SHOWS in the spring and you will attain
that result. II wish you would try
that with regard to re~forestation,"
said to them Il was then in the Black
Hills, speaking to some Of our forest
people,. They said they would try II.
1 advised them to get their seed in
ample quantity in the fall, take an
So-acre tract in the spring and SOW
on the last SHOWS. I was out there
last summer again. It was three years
since I had been there and made the
suggestion and they had carried out
that suggestion. l drove 35 miles to
see that 80-acre tract. 1t seemed to me
that every seed had grown, and that
was q mile above the level of the sea.

He Waa a Chronic Crouch.

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
At a banquet recently one OF the speak
ers told of a ina who was a chronic
crouch. Nothing ever suited him, and he
grumbled over the most trivial things.
Once he had to take to his bed with
rheumatism, and Notwithstanding the fact
that his wife gave him every care he
growled at her necessarily, which caused
the good lady's tears to flow.
How are you getting along, Jakef'
asked a friend who called one afternoon.
II am getting worse n worse" COM
planned Jake, land it is all my wtfe's
fault"
You surprise me-" said the caller. SHE
seems one of the most devoted nurses ]
ever saw"
You don't know her" returned the
rheumatic. THE doctor says that a damp
room is the very worst thing for me, and
that woman comes in here and weeps, just
to make their air damp"

Babe Holds Up q Train.

From the Buffalo News.
A3-year-old boy held up a passenger
train on the Erie railroad, near Belle
Vile, N. j., the other day. The lad, a
o Of Antonio S~teffanelli, had wan
dered away from home n was walk
ing along the tracks dragging a bat
tered tin horse, when the engine ap-
preached In the opposite direction.
The engineer blew his whistle, but
the child kept on between the rails
Several times again the whistle was
blown, but without result. Then the
engineer brought the train to a stop,
got down from his cab and carried the
child to one side. The little fellow
fought against his removal.

The Invention Of Coinage.


The invention Of coinage Is due to the
Creeks, most probably the bankers Of
Halicarnassos and adjacent Asia Minor
Greek colonies, who toward the end Of
h Eighth century B. G. began stamp
ing the small gold and electron ingots
which passed through their hands as
currency with a mark Of some sort in
tended to guarantee the weight and
purity of the metal; such ingots very
soon assumed a round n more regu-
lar shape, which we find already in the
older silver coins from Aegina, nearly
contemporary with the Asia Minor
beans" r a.
Curious to say, one of the surround
ing peoples with whom the Asiatic and
European Greeks were in constant COM
munication, political or commercial.
took up the wonderful invention which
at present seems to us of such obvious
necessity that we scarcely realize how
the civilized world of old can ever have
got on without IT; as a matter of fact,
however, neither the Phoenicians, with
their practical commercial sense, nor
the Lydians o. the Persians, who
claimed the supremacy over the very
cities where the new currency was in
itiated, nor, of course, the Egyptians.

Alexander disseminated the Greek CIV

THE FIRE ON CHERRY CREEK.

THE FIRE ON CHERRY CREEK.
The "saplin'- bender" was followed by
a week of perfect weather. 1t was un-
seasonably warm. The yellow mud,
half-spoke-deep on the back roads, be-
gan to harden into brick like welts and
ragged pits n ruts; the wheat fields
had emerged from the now a livid
the dun corn lands, and the usual
spring fires, the bane of the Seven
Mountains, were beginning to creep
here and there on the ridges and to
throw over the landscape a gauze of
smoke that blurred all outlines.
1t was Sunday afternoon. and a sill
ence like that of h Indian summer
lay On the valley. The sun, a rim of
old brass. hung lustrelessly over the
cozy twilight was creeping On. even
with the SUI full in sight.

stirred Karl Keichline nightly. AS he
had ridden up the Run that morning
there had been desperation in his heart.
He would settle it before he ever
went back again. He had tried
the gradual approach long enough; he
would be abrupt now and stormy. He
would make a sudden dash, and de-
mand yes or no without alternative.
The day, however, had passed without
progress. IN had not evaded him;
on the contrary, she had been with him
even more than usual: hut somehow
there had been no chance. 1t had not
seemed her fault. There had been sud
den accidents and interruptions and in
trusions until 1t had seemed as If fate
itself were against him. And all day
