Waste PAPER Heavy Loss.

Hearing of processes for the re-
c1amation of waste timber brings to
mind the tremendous quantity of pa
per daily thrown aside as useless. An
office of ordinary size produces at
least ton of waste in paper month,
which is disposed Of at price rang
ing from five to ten dollars. The
purchasers of this Office by-product
feed it to machines that bundle the
paper by a sort of hay-press process,
and the magic of machinery returns
the soiled scraps in pristine white
ness. Waste paper has become so
much matter of course that new
offices are built with paper shed,
a continuance for caring directly for
this waste In some businesses this
product amounts to hundreds of tons
in a year, and where the amount is
large, as in city printing office, it
is gathered every day.
In addition to the paper of COM
mercial and manufacturing concerns
there is the constant waste going
on in every home, which would ag-
gregate thousands of dollars every
year if accounted for in the econom-
les of the country. Possibly, when
the Conservation Commission has
disposed of its big problems, it will
find means to eliminate this source
of waste.-National Magazine.

PresumIng Engrayer Puts Initials on
Pennies,

Washington, Aug 5-Like all
newcomers in the critical gaze OF
the public, the new Lincoln penny
which has been in circulation only
one day, has already found its
enemies.
Heralded all over the country
as the substitute of the old "cigar
stand Indian coin, and sought in
all the money centers as a curious
ity, the new penny bids fair to be.
come Of even more value than was
at first supposed.
The trouble is this. A man by
the name of Victor D. Bremen, OIL
New York, designed the penny.
Som chow or other Mr.. Brenner'
initials appear in small raised let.
tors on his work.
The letters ". D. B." are on
the coin near the edge, on the re-
verse side just below the sheafs OF
wheat. They can be seen with
the naked eye if ones attention is
directed to them closely.
There they are. There is nothing
else they can stand for, so far as
those who know anything about
the design of United States coins
can see. They must belong to
Victor D. Brenner, and what right
ask the objectors-has Victor d
Bremen to set his name on the ex-
change of the realm along with
the likeness of the illustrious
Abraham Lincoln? Victor D.
Brenner, they admit, may be all
right, but he is slightly misplaced
that's all.
And so the question is going to
be called to the attention of the
director of the mint, and he will
be asked to pass on the matter.
He will be asked to say, in his
official capacity, whether or not
the designer of a coin is to be
allowed to set his initials on the
metal, to be circulated broadcast
over the country wherever the coin
itself permeates.

overcoming Of TWO warrior foes
who had attacked him when he
was alone on the prairie. Single
handed he had fought and killed
them and Two Strike" he had
been from that day. He was the
leader in the last battle which took
place between hostile bands OF
savages on the plains Of America.
For years without number the two
nations, the Sioux and the paw
nees, had hated each other.
In one OF Cooper's novels Hard
Heart, Pawnees, taunts a Sioux
thus: Since waters ran and trees
grew. the Sioux has found the
Pawnee on his warpath." The
fight in which Two Strike was the
leader of the Sioux was fought
against the Pawnees on the banks
of a little stream known as The
Frenchman, in Nebraska in the
year 1874.
In the valley of the Platte river
the buffalo were plenty, but the
PaWnees had said the Sioux should
not hunt there and they defed
them to come. The Pawnee dogs
called the Sioux women, said the
story-teller and old Two Strike
sneered.
1t was when the grass was at its
best that the Sioux started for the
country Of the Pawnee. The
teller Of the tale made no secret of
tbs intention of the Sioux to ex-
terminate the Pawnees, sparing
neither woman or children if the
chance Of their killing presented
itself.
Two Strike and his Sioux reach
ed the edge Of the buffalo country
and there they waited opportunity.
They did not have to wait long.
Runners told them that the Paw
nees in full strength had started
on great hunting expedition led
by Sky Chief, a noted warrior.
When the name Of Sky Chief fell
from the lips of the interpreter old
Two Strike smiled and closed
his fist. The Sioux left their en-
campment and struck into the
heart of the hunting country.
There a scout told them that the
enemy was encamped in prairie
guich and that their women and
children were with them to care
for the hides and for the drying of
the meat Of the buffalo.
Two Strike led his men by "a
way around, as the interpreter
put it, coming finally to a point
less than half sun 5 distance
from the camp in the valley. The
Sioux struck small herd of but
falo and they goaded the animals
before them right up to the mouth
OF the gulch. When the buffalo
were headed straight into the VAL
ley the Sioux priCked the hind
most with arrows and the herd
went headlong toward the encamp-
ment Of the Pawnees, who were
foolish men and did not watch
for an enemy.
When the Pawnees saw the buff
falo they mounted their ponies..and
followed them out through the far
end OF the valley to the level plain
leaving the women and children
behind.
Then the Sioux went into the
slaughter, sparing neither infancy
nor age, and they had almost end
ed the killing when the Pawnee
braves returned.
Then followed the last great
battle which has been fought on
the plains between tribes of red
men. The storyteller in the tepee
at Pine Ridge did not say so. but
it is known from the account of
white man, Adabel Ellis, who
knew the circumstances, that the
Pawnees fought that day as they
as they had always fought, bravely
and to the death.
Sky Chief, the Pawnee, rode
out in front Of his men, shook his
hand and called out that Two

sTuRcIss AND THE FORESTS.

The Evening World is IN receipt Of
a gNmphleg containing the speech de-
Iivered by bon. George G. Sturgiss,
In Congress February 3, when that
sbcdy had under consideration the aI~
preparation for the department Of { g
riculture.
Mr. Sturgiss took stand that will
be endorsEd BY every resident CT the
state. He maintains that the national
forests should be so handled as to
prove Of permanent and increasing
public bsneflt, but that they should
pay all costs Of their maintenance
There is need for greater funds to
carry on this great work OF protec-
dion and forestation. These conclu-
sions drawn by Congressman Stur-
giss are worthy OF note:
Il. The protective force on nation
al forests has been inadequate frem
the beginning. and the increase in 1t
has not kept pace with the increase
in business.
%. unless the force IS grsatly in
creased the forest service must do
one of these two things: Turn away
national forest business or reduce a
fire patrol already insufficient This
rs an urgent immediate condition,
not theory.
'3. 1t is 10 less necessary for the
better protection ard fuller use OF
the national forests that money is
provided with which to build trails,
telephone lines, fences, and other
permanent improvements, the eff
cheney Of the additional men will be
greatly reduced. Both are essential
"A. The fact that the protective
force on national forests has carried
a heavier load of current business
Fer man during the last year than
ever before and has held the fire
damage down TO / per cent OF that
on private forests lands is creditable
in the highest degree. But it is I'M
fair, as well as unsafe to the forests,
to rely upon the men keeping this
up The force is at present seriously
overworksd, and unless it is increas-
ed the result, inevitable result, will
ensue-a serious falling off in indiYid-
nal efficiency"
