Why the yudpe Paid.

physician. says medical journal that vouches for the truth of the story, was once summoned in haste to attend the child of a family that lived in two rooms In the beart Of large American city-not New York The child had been seized suddenly and seriously and just at election time. The mother ,was In despair. and when the doubt ,ful ItroSnosis was given she broke Into wailinc And violent self condem- nation for some horrible sin of the family to which she said the child Illness was due-a direct punishment for their crime. She would go and curse the magistrate for it all, her husband should resign from the force" and such evil ways should be renounced forever.
 Curious to know how the magistrate could be held responsible for the child's illness. the doctor finally Sc cured the confession that the crime of the poor. conscience stricken woman consisted in allowing the names of many fraudulent voters to be regis tered as residing in her house, in swearing to the lie. etc. The magis- trate also had demanded this of all the neighbors in return for indescrtb able political favors.
 The child recovered, and the magis trate paid the physician's bill.

Carryina . Watch.

"After carrying watch for thirty years have just learned something new in watch lore" said the city sales man. "I don't know whether this is true or not, but an old watchmaker told me. l bought watch of him the other day. It was a cheap watch. He said:
 What pocket are you going to car " your watch in the right or leftT
 "I told him the left.
 Then said he, I will regulate it fer the left
 II asked what difference it made, and he declared that a watch runs faster on the left side than on the right, so to keep it from gaining time he regulates it accordingly. In fine watches the difference is hardly worth considering, but in watches of cheap make like mine it is very noticeable 1 asked for scientific reason for this variation. He could give none; said he only knew it was true, and then. whether he was faking or not, he pre- tended to regulate my watch for the left pocket. ."-New York Sun.

 But once the sanitarium acquired q new attendant who got his signals mixed. He was told to bathe the Ger man American. Filling tub with ic' cold water, he threw the patient into 1t.

also worthy Of consideration. although 1t
is Of secondary Importance. The oil is

SACRAMENTO, Cal, September q, 1909
The lumbermen of California are begin
ming to show signs of common sense, and
are gradually adopting scientific methods
for the conservation OF their forests. II
this had been done fifty years ago their
timber would have been worth a hundred
million dollars more than 1t will ever
pay them. Many good judges think that
the wastage from carelessness, extrava-
gance and neglect has been several times
that sum-
Public sentmer. Is rapidly developing
on this subject. Thinking men are begin
ming to realize the wickedness and the
financial folly Of the present practice
of stripping the forests of every living
thing and destroying the young trees
with the old ones. as the rule has been
everywhere. If the stockgrowers had
killed the calves In their herds with the
mature cattle they would have done
exactly what the lumbermen' have done
upon millions of acres of splendid tim
Der that has already been sacrificed in
this state. without thinking of the fu-
ture wealth it represents.
Although none of the lumber companies
are cutting by selection as yet, they are
showing an inclination to do so. Within
the last four years there has been de-
cided Improvement in sentiment and also
In the adoption OF measures to protect
the forests In 1905 the legislature of
California created the office OF state
forester with authority to appoint 800
fire wardens to protect the timber and
to arrest and prosecute people who are
responsible for fires either from malice
or carelessness. The wardens have moth
ing to do with the planting or cutting Of
timber. but are simply protective force
paid by the state, like the police of a
city. or the fire department who pre-
serve order and protect property on gen.
eral principles. without doing anything
to promote the interests of the tndivid-
ual.
An Energetic Man, This.
The state forester is G. B. Lull. a
young man of energy and enthusiasm
who is showing zeal and tact in the per
Torrance of his duties and is preaching
the gospel of conservation in a practical
way.
I'VE are not doing anything to antago-
nize the lumbermen." said Mr.. Lull in an
swer to my questions. They are a high
class of men. wise. experienced and pub
lic-spirited. and we prefer TO lot them
take the lead in what you call the con-
servation movement. We want to get
them organized first, so as to work to-
gether, and then we can talk about de-
tails.
