Special Agent Frank Grygia of the United States land office recent ly seized 5000 fence posts which were illegally cut in Union county by non-residents from Colorado.
 The department of the interior is making special efforts to stop all H. legal cutting of timber, and special agents are kept busy looking after the public domain. Additional ar- rests will likely be made. The de- partment in each instance is will ing to compromise, providing the of lenders will pay for the timber taken at a little higher price than they could have secured it had they pur- chased it legally.-Santa Fe New Mexican.

HE KNEW HE WAS A YANKEE.

Once upon a time Supreme Judge Harlan was travelling in Virginia. He stopped at a newly constructed country hotel. The walls of his room had been freshly calcimined. They shone white as the lamp was lit. But near the head of the bed was stain. Some one had thrown a quid of to- bacco on it and it had stuck.
 of I had that Yankee here who stained that wall l would wiring his neck," said the judge, in apparent anger.
 "Why, how do you know Yankee did the trick?" asked a friend.
 "How do I know it was Yan- kee?" exclaimed the Kentuckian. "Why, can't you see it is fine cut ?"
 No one in the south chews that kind.-Washington Star.

MlLlET'S INFLUENCE.

a Host of Painters Followed Him In
Depicting Peasant Life.
In his own words Millet tried to de-
things" His subject was the peasant
life-not the representation OF 1t such
as one sees in opera or the pretty, sen
timental aspect Of it, but the actual
drama of labor continuously proceed
ing through the four seasons, the "cry
of the SOUL" echoing in the hearts of
the patient, plodding, God fearing toll
ers. Everything was typical. We have
spoken of his ''Sower." OF another pic
ture the critic Castagnary wrote: DO
you remember his Reaper? He might
have reaped the whole earth!'
Everything that Millet did was full
of deep seriousness and sincerity. He
never was an ''easy" painter, SO that
his greatness as an artist is perhaps
more clear in the black and white than
in the colored subjects. Certainly in
his crayon drawings. Autographs and
.etchings he proved himself to be one
Of that limited number Of artists who
may be reckoned master craftsmen
Moreover, the character that he ex
presses is Of that grand and elementa
quality which sometimes reminds US Of
Michael Angelo.
Millet's influence produced host o.
painters of the peasant, among whom
the strongest are the Frenchman L'Her
| mite and Israels. the Dutchman. These
like him. have represented their sub
| ject with sympathy and with under
| standing also.-St Nicholas.

THE WORD STAPLE.
How 1t Came to BE Applied to Ar

How 1t Came to BE Applied to Ar
ticles of Commerce.
The word staple" applied as an ad-
jectiye to distinguish certain articles
of commerce, had it's origin in England
in the early part Of the thirteenth cen
fury The merchants Of the staple
were the first and most ancient and
were 50 called from their exporting the
staple wares Of the kingdom-namely,
wool, leather, skins, lead and tin. The
kings staple was established in certain
towns. and certain goods could not be
exported without being first brought to
those towns and rated and charged
with the duty payable to the king. The
grower Of wool contented himself at
first with the sale of it at his own door
or at the next town. Thence arose
class of men who bought it from him
and became a medium between the
grower and the foreign cloth mer-
chants. In 1919 the company had the
legal form of a corporation and was
the oldest mercantile corporation in
England. Edward II. had for the bet
ter collecting Of duty on wool ordained
that the staple for it should be GER
tain town in the Netherlands, and Ant
werp was fixed upon. 1t was after
ward successfully removed to St.
Omer's, Bruges, Brussels. Louvain,
Mecklin and Calais. In 1853 the staple
was fixed at Westminster, which caus'
81 so great a resort Of traders that
from a village it was raised to the dig
nifty of a town. In 1873 it was removed
to the place still named Staple inn. in
Holborn. Hence staple goods are
| such as have been duly appraised and
have paid the regular customs duties.
