He was ninety years old. Besides hav-

Mr.. Parsons was probably the oldest
locomotive engineer in this country.
His name always will be linked with
The "John Bull" for which he had a
liking that caused him to visit the Ma

always was permitted to climb over
the old locomotive. He would examine

a revelation to me.
"Education should be along these
lines: First, education for development,
then education for culture and lastly
what the other two things lead UP to,

be accomplished in school work if the
general public will cooperate With the
school authorities in the questions OF

THE SPANISH CRISIS.

King Alfonso has met the situation
in Spain with a show of spirit when
indicates that he is disposed to resist
vigorously the tendencies toward in
s1,rrection in his kingdom. His decla-
ration of martial law throughout the
entire country brings the crisis to an
acute point 1t now remains to be
seen whether with a large part Of the
army occupied in Morocco in a difficult
campaign against the warlike tribes
men, and many of the home regl-
ments deeply affected with mutinous
spirft. the government can control the
situation.
Back of the cry against the foreign
war there is undoubtedly a serious Sc
dition rooted in deeper feeling than
resentment against contributing to
costly campaign in other lands. 1t may
be only a coincidence that this out
break has occurred almost Immediately
after the death of Don Carlos. 1t was
thought at that time to be within the
possibilities that the passing of the
pretender might be a signal for a re-
vival of the revolutionary movement
by the republicans. Apparently there
is beneath this present disturbance
well organized campaign against the
monarchy. Socialism has found a foot
hold in Spain and in the course of the
riotinC at Barcelona this spirit mas
been freely expressed. In addition to
these elements there is an anti-rel1g-
ious manifestation, several eccleslasu-
cal institutions having been wrecked
by mobs during the past few days.
Against all these elements it will be
necessary for the young king to play
a strong hand. If the rioting is only
an ebullition of popular discomfort
without organization he will probably
be able to master it and to restore
order after a few sanguinary encoun-
ters. If. on the other hand, the anti
war sentiment is but an expression OF
radical republicansim, fostered by
calculating leaders, operating in secret
the downfall of the Spanish throne l:
lutte within the possibilities. Just a
present there seems to be no likeli
hood of any sort of foreign interven
ton in Alfonso's aid.

Pulliam, late president of the National

POISONOUS PLANTS
ARE INVESTIGATED
FOREST SERVICE UNDERTAKING
INQUIRY FOR THE benefit
OF THE sTocKMEN.
Department Will Look Into Proper
ties of Plants Especially Where
Losses Occur.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. s.
(SpeciaL)-The poisonous plant in
designations on the various national
forests are being continued during
the present season. For several years
the forest service, in cooperation
with the bureau of plant industry,
has been making poisonous plant in
vestigations on the national forests
which have been of distinct value to
stockmen. While the number of such
Investigations is of necessity limited,
every effort is made to give prompt
attention to localities where great or
unusual losses of stock have oc-
cured.
The annual loss from poisonous
plants, in many localities is quite
heavy and some ranges are becoming
practically useless on account OF
these plants, or if used the losses
by death are SO heavy as to mater
tally cut into the profits of the bust
ness.
While no general plan of Kidding
the range of these plants has yet
been devised, it has been possible by
close study of a poison range to de-
termine the particular species OF
plant responsible for the trouble.
Many times an exhaustive study OF
the plant has proved that it occurs
only on small areas which could
easily be avoided. Other poisonous
plants like the Lupines or Wild Fea
have been found to be almost harm
less at certain times of the year, and
at such times may be eaten by all
kinds of stock with little danger.
An instance of the benefit of these
Investigations is found on the Manti
national forest in Utah Consider
able loss by death was sustained each
year among sheep being taken over
an old established trail to summer
ranges. Upon investigation by an ex-
pert it was learned that the immed-
late cause of death was species OF
chokeberry upon which the hungry
sheep browsed as they passed over
the trail Having determined the
species of plant responsible for the
| losses the remedy was simple but
effectual Certain portions of the old
| trail were abandoned, and along other
! portions the chokeberry bushes were
cut out. The method of handling the
sheep was also changed. Instead or
large bands which could be moved
| but slowly, smaller bands were trail
ed, and so far as possible. they were
allowed to fill up on healthy forage
before entering the dangerous area.
| The trail was also improved wherever
practicable and by this means 1T was
possible to get the sheep through In
much better shape and with little or
no loss.
/ Areas where poisonous plants are
particularly plentiful are Ragged
by the forest rangers so that the
| herders may have warning OF their
condition, and where the area IN
volved is not too great in extent,
fences are built around them so that

stock like horses and cattle could not
reach them. 1t is believed that some
of these poisonous plants can be
choked out by planting certain ag
greSSive grasses which in time will
take full possession of the ranges.
Other plants like the wild parsn1p,
which is so fatal to cattle, grow to
such height as to be easily seen
and are not so numerous but that
they can be completely eradicated
from a range by pulling them up by
the roots
Cooperation between the range
force and the interested stOckmen
promises to work wonders along this
line and every effort will be made
to assist the stoekowners in protect
ing their stock from death by these
plants

VACATION DANGERS.

Many persons spend far too much
on the week or fortnight or month of
summer when they absent themselves
from their tasks. July loafing and
December gift giving create two areas
of expenditures whose outer edges may
touch and just about eclipse the mar
gin of the whole year. To live like
lord" for a few days is a human wish
and has whatever merit lies in a rad
ical change from the daily routine: yet
the wish is fathered in faulty. Many
persons look to a vacation to make
up the years arearages in exercise en-
joyment and health on the theory that
bird in the bush is worth several in
the hand. Thus considered, the vaca-
ton idea is a menace for one can not

for it in the other two. He must carry
a good working balance In the bank of
good health, and never overdraw it.
