The Forest Reserve Measure.

s"If New England wants the Weeks
forest reserve bill to pass, it must show
its interest" This is what the new
Boston Chamber of Commerce advises.
The merchants are now advocating
that influential constituents write per-
sonal letters to the New England con-
gressmen and senators, urging united
support for the Weeks bill. 1t is not
party question in Washington, and the
bill seems to be favorably regarded. The
representatives of New England, the
south and the middle states are unani-
nous. What they wish now is to make
the members from the western states I'M
derstand the importance of the legisla-
ton.
The Weeks bill differs from former
forest reserve bills. 1t provides for the
purchase of forest lands on any water
shed to be reserved as national forests
These reserves shall be purchased from
moneys realized from the revenues of ex-
listing national forests. A million dollars
uuiihs ohC COihluS iloCdl tcdI anu tWO
millions in each subsequent year for ten
years is the proposed rate of expendi-
ture. The final vote in the house COM
mittee on agriculture was in favor of
this bill by one vote, and the report is
now printed.
A Washington dispatch states that ''it
is understood that forestry officials will
begin work first in the White mountains,
because that section is regarded as in
need of immediate attention"
Commercial organizations in Fitch
burg Arlington, Hsverhill, Lowell
Lynn, Springfield, Marlborough, Hart
ford, New Haven, Pawtucket, Westerly,
Providence, Bangor, Lewiston, Portland,
Manchester, Claremont and St. Johns
bury have endorsed the Weeks bill, and
many influential men are sending per-
sonal letters of commentator to their
senators or congressman. Vermonters
should generally wake up to the impor.
lance of this bill.-Rutland News.

GEORGE TELEAU PLANS
TO GUST JOE O'BRlEN

Seems as though the American
association can't get along with
out a scrap. Having rounded out
one of the toughest schedules in
the history of base ball-with the
lpennant anybody's until the last
couple of weeks-it now has a
presidential battle upon its hands.
The American association is a
child of battle. 1t was born dur
ling a base ball war and has been
carrying on the fight ever since.
The history. of the association is a
story of eliques-a league divided
against itself from start to finish
If the bird of peace settled over
the organization, someone would
scalp it.
From the outside it appears
the present situation originates in
the desire of our old college
friend, Geo. white Wings" Te-
beau, owner of the Louisville
franchise, to dominate the associ-
alton. Tebeau wants to see his
employe, Tom Chiyington, vice
president of the Louisville club,
in O'Brien's place, and, 1t is said,
has lined up his old pals-Geo.
Lennon of st. Paul, Watkins of
indianapolis, and Cantillon of
Minneapolis-to help attach the
hardware to O'Brien and seat
Chivington. And it is said that
even Bill Armour of Toledo and
Bobby Quinn, the real head of the
columbus club, have consented to
| lie in the same bed with their
arch enemy. If all this is true,
the attitude of Havenor of Mil
waukee and the owners of the
Kansas City franchise will cut no
ice. They'll have to come in and
be good.
In addition to Chivington, E..
s. Barnard, the clever secretary of
the Cleveland club of the Ameri-
can league, and admittedly one of
the best posted men in the bust
ness, is mentioned as successor toI
O'Brien. 1t is probable, if the in
dividual members of the league
are allowed to have their way,
Barnard will be rendered the po-
sition, as his fitness for the Of
flee is unquestioned. But If Te-
beau has things framed as he is
said to have, the chances are Chiv-
ington will land the plum.
Another man whose name has
appeared in connection with the
story is Tom Andrews, the Mil
waukee sporting editor.
1t is possible that before the
American association is permitted
to fire O'Brien and elect a new
president, that foxy person, ]. H..
Farrell, secretary of the National
association, will have something
to to say, as he usually does, for
the best interests of base ball.

) In LITTLE OLD NEW YORK

BY NORMAN.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The lot
of the ice man is not all lame
back and small wages in New
York. He can make money for
himself, under a system in use by
the ice companies here. How
much he can make ia dependent
upon how easy his customers are
and how big scalawag he is.
Many customers do not deal
with the Ice company. though they
receive ice from it's wagons. The
driver starts out, charged with
1000 pounds of ice, or whatever
amount is on the load. He has
to pay the company for that
much ice, less per cent for
shrinkage, which depends on the
state of the weather. He deliv-
ers to each customer so many
pounds of ice, and takes the
money. An inscriptions driver,
whose customers, can sell from
1900 to 400 pounds out of a
1OO0-pound load, and of course
the "velvet" goes into his pocket.
The new style in hair dressing,
which makes a lady's knob look
like the top end of hitching
post with a horses tail wrapped
closely around it, has not yet be-
come widely prevalent. The danes
who affect it attract great atten-
ton at the theater first nights,
but there is too much hard-earn-
ed money invested in rats, puffs
and switches for the new wrinkle
to come through with a rush.
AS the old style coiffure, of the
life preserver variety, goes out,
it seems to be swelling up and
growing more and more balloon
like proportions. Apropos of
which an usher at the Liberty the
alter tells a story which may or
may not be true. Anyway, he
says it really happened.
Behind a girl with an enormous
contraption of hair and wire goods
sat man who wanted to see
something of the show, and could
not. He endured the situation
as long as he could, then passed
his program to the lady, with
line UNDERSIGNED. 1t was the
line which reads, Ladies are re-
quested to remove their hats"
The girl turned around. What
do you mean, sir?" she asked. Il
have removed my hat.
Pardon me, madam" he re-
piled: eff you will look again,
you will see that / have changed
the III in hats to an r."

A lady in India residing during the
hot season among the lower hills OF
the uimalayas had a little terrier says
Il writer in London Answers. Fury. as
he was called. disliked the whole mon
key race. and as there were hundreds
of them in the trees surrounding the
house he had many opportunities for
exhibiting his antipathy.
The monkeys make no distinction be-
twepn the house of an English Lady
and the cottage Of Hindoo. They in
sisted upon sitting upon the balconies,
and Fury resented their intrusion by
barking and Frightening them away.
The monkeys resented Fury's OH
ciOuSneSS in due time in way which
illustrates their revpngcful cunning.
One day little Fury was walking in
front of his mistress. As they were
passing through dark thickct OF rho
dodendronS she saw skinny arm DART

terrier and both disappear
She rushed to his rescue. but the

and pull out his hair. When they had
