Passing of the Pine

It is actually depressing to contem- plate what opportunities in the WAY of reforeStation in this state are being wholly neglected. Look out of your car window as you speed along. espe. cially if you are travelling through that once splendid yellow pine belt that follows at varying widths cur ample coastline, and witness the unrepaired destruction that has been wrought The turpentine still and the sawmill have blasted the splendid forests like scourge, and where once that monarch of the forest, the long leaf pine reared his head in countless numbers now are only scared stumps and the beginning of new growth-not of yellow pine but of scrubby oaks and of old field pines and their like. The stills and the mills did not leave eveh enough of the long leaf to furnish the natural means of reforestation. No. only have we lost our noble forests of yellow pine, but on those lands where g new growth might be offering it's promise to coming generations there IS no prospect of so happy a consum. matlon.-Columbia State

Somebody has defined crime as the momentary victory of an hereditary craving over common sense" In the case of the two Gilfllans, the same craving manifested itself in each man at the same moment This was pc culiar. The desire came upon each ot the brothers to possess two blood horses belonging to a neighbor, and common sense was routed in the struggle to suppress the craving.
 The Gilfllans got the horses, and, incidentally, the sheriff got the Gil tillans. A stern judge conducted the judicial inquiry, and, unable to see that the brothers were victims of a craving. handed down from a horse loving ancestor he sent them to En- lota penitcntiary for seven years.
 This was unfortunate The younger Gillian was consumptiyc. and En- lota's Little He'll was not an ideal sentence the boy was sent to the jail hospital, and became firmly imbued with the feeling that he would not re- cover his health. The sentence had smashed up the last ounce of vitality that was holding the fort against the disease, and the prisoner was sinking rapidly.
 Now, prisoners in jail hospital re- ceive no tobacco. Whether the prison medico believes that the brand sup piled to the numbered inmates is a compound that can only be safely con- sumed by the physically strong is not known, but the weekly supply allowed to q prisoner on the works is inn mediately cut off if he is taken tc the hospital. The dearth of tobacco af- fected the consumptive Gillian. He crayed a chew" and in distress he acquainted the brother of his craving by what is in jail parlance known as stiff With a pin the sick mar scratched his wants on the loose leaf of hymn book, and in due time the pitiful note, after passing through the hands of q dozen prisoners, reached

the healthy brother. who was learning to manufacture boots in the prison workshop
 The elder Gillian had deep pools of sentiment beneath a rough ex- terior. Furthermore, he took no heed of consequence. He pictured the sick brother, waiting tobaccoless in the dreary hospital, and he took a chance to supply him. The chance was a risky one. While passing the barred hospital yard he deXterously jerked small cube of tobacco to the white faced brother. who happened 10 be walking up and down inside, and he breathed a tremendous sigh of relief when he became certain that the warder i'll charge of the squad had not noticed the action. The elder Gillian was not afraid of any punishment that might fall upon himself; he was afarid lest the morsel Of tobacco would be taken away from the sick youth who craved the delicacy.
 But Nemesis was galloping on the heels of the two Gllfllans. Warder Bulstrode, looking down from his perch on the south tower, saw the movement, and Bulstrode was a con scientious officer Five minutes after, the younger brother was stripped of the miserable git, and the giver was dragged before the chief wardcr and sentenced to seven days dark cell so- a breach of prison discipline In jail charity is a virtue that is promptly smothered when the powers that be become aware of it's existence.
 It was the elder Gilfllan's first intro duction to the dark cell When he was pushed into the windowless cham Der, the horrible, intense, suffocating darkness closed in upon him like a smothering pail. Blind and stupefied, he groped his way around the bare walls, the horror piercing him through and through like an icy sword After wards he flung himself on the stone floor and lay like 8 man stunned by a terrific blow.
 Some hours later he thought of the button. A medical student. who had once undergone a term of imprison- ment at Enlota, had promulgated a theory by which the mental agony pro- duced by dark cell treatment could be considerably relieved. He advised all prisoner friends who might visit The Doghole'' to toss button into the air, and while away the time by searching for it on hands and knees stood the value of little things, and he recognized the fact that con tinuous hunt for a missing button would drag the mind away from the black abyss Of insanity.
 Gillian, groping blindly in the darkness, remembered the advice. He ripped a button from his striped jacket and tossed it into ;he thick air Listening intently he heard it fall ir
