MAGAZINE REVIEW.
Who Owns the Trees :

I Freudenstadt Is a town Of seven thou
sand people in the Black Forest region
of Germany.
Chisholm was a town of six thousand
in the Big Woods country of MINI esota
Every year from the tall black pine
trees which grow In ordered regiments
on the six thousand acres of publicly
owned land abort Freudenstadt d reg
ular Of lumber il cut which pays all the
expenses Of the city government
Mayor Aldermen, Police and Fire De
partments And that crop win 70 on
forever The thrifty people Of Freu-
denstadt may devote their whole at
tention to their thriving iron and chem
zeal industries, knowing that the beaut-
iful and beneficent forest viii pay all
the cost of their municipal activities.
Every year--mtil this-greedy pri-
yate corporations have sent their hordes
into the country about Chisholm to loot
the great pine woods, leaving behind
them trail OF ruin and desolation and
piling up the dry siashings like kind
ling-wood ready for the match. Every
fall the patient people of Chisholm have
gone to bed with the acrid smell Of burn
ing pine in their nostrils, fearing lest
before they woke the forest might
takes its fiery revenge. Last summer
it came. For weeks thick clouds of
smoke lay over the town. Then on
Saturday night hurricane of flame
swept down and burned Chisholm to
the ground So sudden and dreadful
was the outslaltght that domestic ami
mails dropped dead in the streets, over
come by the heat Men carried out
their sick on beds and rushed them
through the smoke and flying embers to
places Of temporary safety One woman
man died of fright. In the morning
more than five hundred families were
homeless.
Freudenstadt is town without taxes.
The forest pays them Chisholm is
town without homes. The forest des-
troyed them.
That tells--in little--the story OF the
forest policy Of the United States and
its results, as compared with that fol
lowed in civilized eountries.--From Hen

The Heart of the Real New York.

"The Interpreter" writing in the Feb
ruary American Magazine says;
"a good deal OF bitter nonsense il
written about New York, believed will
ingly abroad and expressed even in
our own country in the form Of Ger
tain jealousy Of attitude on the part
Of people from other parts Of the coun-
try.
But what is New York; rs New
York only money grabbing and grub
bling in Wall street, growing in res
taurants and motoring, In Fifth Ave-
nuei Or is there another New York,
the real Greater New York which is
as little materialistic' as any city Of
any times People come here from
Europe or from Kansas and they see
the vulgar display that Is before our
own eyes all the time, and they are
Mortified at it. They don't reflect that
the same vulgar display is found in
every big city, only here it is on very
large scale because hither come from
every corner of the country those for
display is the only satisfactory way to
crown their successful struggles for
material gain. But the Waldorf is no
more New York than Peacock Alley
is Chicago--in fact, rather less so.
'The true spirit of New York is not
seen in the Broadway cafes. Its spirit
is reflected in the millions of plain,
honest people who try to live up to the
most correctly old fashioned and health
full domestic ideals, There is the same
proportion of men with high ideals in
this city as in other other. Here as
elsewhere We find thousands of men
who worship only the material out
OF which they paint their pictures,
write their books carve their statues.
Here as elsewhere there are thousands
of men applying themselves with scant
reward of the solution OF the puzzles
among the poor, and elergymen wear
ing out their lives in the cure OF sin
and sorrow. Even Tammany Joins in
the physical improvement Of the city.
Even the despised rich contribute mu-
seums, libraries and hospitals to the
general good, and unostentatiously in
many eases spend their time and mon
ey in relieving poverty and suffering.
There is no more general worship of
money here than there is in Topeka.
The tone OF the people toward 'vul.
gar wealth is one Of good natured CON
tempt. John D. and Andrew are the
subjects Of many of the most spirited
popular iests. and the public racks its
honest sides laughing at the feeble
or clumsy attempts Of Newport to ap

That ENGLISH complsxlon.


The compilations Of the English have
often been exploited for our benefit.
The damp climate and the exercise
out of doors produce the red, they say.
But on examination it proves to be
not the red Of the rose, but the red Of
raw beef, and often streaky and dbrous
at that. The features are large and
the face high colored,i but 1t is not q
delicate pink. 1t il coarse red. At a
distance the effect is charming, bright,
refreshing, but close to often rather
unpleasant. Here the features of the
women, even the features of the beau
tiful women, are nodded, while the
features of our beautiful American
women are chiseled. --Scribner's.
