to be strong and to order their
affairs, has protected them from
subjugation an d demoralizing
changes. A commendable nation
al pride stimulates a self respect
ing nation to higher attainments
as it endeavors to excel in the
expression of national greatness.
The transition from tribal and
clannish sentiment to national
consciousness is what has COM
bined petty states and city repub-
lies into mighty nations. We
can we'll understand this, for
while we love our commonwealth,
we be not true patriots unless
we love America.
The word patriot I learn from
Joseph Chamberlain of COM
paratively recent use. 1t is not
found i N Shakespeare, though
the sentiment is strongly ex-
pressed there. The word was
taken directly from the French
where it was used as early as the
fifteenth century. The signif-
canoe of the word was citizen, "
"fellowcitizen, Tor 'compatriot. !"
The word occasionally occurs in
the literature of the sixteenth
century, at the end of which it
was accompanied by such ad-
jectives as good, T" true" or
worthy, which ultimately were
imported into the meaning of the
noun, until finally a patriot nee
essarialy implied a good citizen
and a true lover of his country.
Patriotism is not necessarily
love for ones native land. Mayor
Mcclellan was born in Germany,
but he is a lover Of America.
Then it is not so much sentiment
for the land that gave me
birth, = as love for my national
home.
No one can be a great Christian
who is shut up to theological dog
ma and sentiment. He must
know the history Of the church
of God, if he would have a great
love for christianity. So a man
must be an intelligent citizen,
knowsshis country's history, if he
would bea true patriot. Ignorance
and patriotism are not compati-

Reflections of a Bachelor.

What a girl likes about having
a romance is imagining it is.
Good looks catch a man, but
it's good housekeeping that holds
him.
The mystery about a woman's
figure is how she can shift it all
over her body.
The gas that is burned over
being engaged costs more than
the wedding presents are worth.
A man is a successful politician
when he can keep the public
from getting any benefit out Of
its rights.
What makes a woman wonder
at the way a mans mind works
is he thinks shopping has some
thing to do with buying.
Mostly always the reason a
man starts an argument on his
hobby is he is afraid if he dosen't
the other fellow will on his.
The nuisance about people who
know all about one subject is
they try to make you think they
know still more about some
other.
About the only man who could
be relied upon absolutely to pay
back borrowed money would be
the one who would never borrow

most accursed thing that we have
to watch is the political boss who
dominates a lot of disfranchised
Americ ans much as tribal chiefs
and feudal lords commanded their
underlings in barbaric days. This
demagogue proclaims himself a
patriot, but one of DR.. Johnson'S
definitions applies to him when
he says, patriotism is the last
refuge IF a scoundrel," and
Junius characterizec him when
he writes, nothing will satisfy
a patriot but a place, +" and Ten
nyson portrays him when h e
calls him the 'practiced hustings
liar"
Let us remember that we, and
not a king, are the state. We do
not follow a despot in "sangui-
nary lawsuit as he attempts to
wrest another field or city from
a rival despot. We are not SUBJ
jects of an emperor who rules
over alien peoples. We are a
country of countries, We are a
nation of nations, any one of
which would be a formidable ma
ton. Paul said to the Athenians:
God hath made of one blood all
nations Of men, for to dwell on
all the face of the EARTH" and
it seems that we might say of
our land, God hath made of all
bloods one nation to dwell in
this land of promise. Because
of the wealth of blood, of spirit
and of temporal resources which
we have as a providential pos
session, we should all be more
jealous of individual sovereignty.
A few years ago "the man be-
hind the gum was popular
phrase. If we wanted to give
expression to a condition that is
a curse, that is a loathsome sore,
that is making political lepers
out of American citizens, we
might speak Of the man behind
the gang" But there is a man
that can work cure, and that
man is you, the man behind the
vote.
Remember that it has taken
Providence milleniums, that it
has taken rivers of blood, that
it has taken the grooming of

10000 TREES
That is the Record of the Forestry Ser
vice for One Year.

That is the Record of the Forestry Ser
vice for One Year.
The trees used In the national ex-
periments in reforestation are grown
at eight government nurseries in the
existing national forests out West.
These eight stations now contain over
5000. 900 trees from one to three years
old.
The preliminary stage Of forest
planting within the national forests is
now past, and several of the planting
stations have produced trees of suffi-
cicnt size to plant directly on the per-
manent site. About 700,0 900 trees were
planted during the winter and spring
og 1907.
AT the nursery in the Dismal River
national forest more stock has reach
ed an age suitable for planting than
at the other stations. This nursery
contains approximately $500, 900 trees.
At present there are about 1000, 900
trees for planting in the sand hills.
The species largely in use up to this
time are Western yellow pine and
jack pine. Other species, chiefly
Scotch pine. Norway pine and Doug
las fir are being tested in the nur-
sery and In experimental plantations.
The state forests of Saxony, COM
prising 100000 acres, are in charge Of

The storm struck OH the western
bank on Bigstone and went in a
southeasterly direction towards Orion
vile. On the Dakota side John Dez.
rees, the hack driver, was returning
from the depot and was part way to
the %chautauqua grounds, when the
hack was struck by a flying missl-.

on a full head of steam, making a
very fast rua to Milbank, just pulling
