Deadwood, S. ID. Sept. 29.--A new
industry has sprung up in this coun-
try, growing out OF the recent great
forest fires. Almost before the ashes
OF the fires which ragged over the
Black Hills, destroying thousands of
acres of primeval pine forests, have
grown cold, the government rangers
and foresters are preparing to reseed
the blackened mountain sides and
repair the damage done by the flames
to the great watershed of the contl-
nent. Already arrangements are be-
ing made for gathering 100000 bush
els of pine cones for use as seed,
and at the proper season these SEED
will be strewn from one end OF the
burned-over section to the other. In
the Black Hills alone more than
thousand square miles Of pine forests
have been destroyed and before the
falling snow puts an end TO further
fires as much more may be burned

more than a bushel of potatoes. The
Black Hills are great producers of

is 60 cents a bushel. But a bushel

The gathering OF pine cones has
become an industry in itself, and the
forest rangers are encouraging men,

Great Vanderbilt Race.

New York, Sept 30.-Out on Long
Island today the drivers entered in
the Vanderbilt contest are engaged in
the final practice for the great motor
ing classic. A big field of starters is
assembled for the race and the two
sweepstakes to be run in connection
with it. All records for number of en-
tries have been broken and, with a
favorable day, It is more than pos
sible that past speed records will go
by the board. The track and the
country roads included in the circuit
have been put into first class condi-
tion.
The course Is made up of a portion
of the Long Island Motor Parkway
and the adjacent roads of Nassau
county. The circuit is 1854 miles In
length and the Vanderbilt cup con-
testants will cover it twenty-five
times, the race distance being 27S.0S
miles.
The big race will start at daybreak,
and all the hotels in the vicinity of
the course are filed to their capacity
with people who want to be on the
ground early. Dozens of special trains
will run early tomorrow morning 10
carry spectators from this city and
Brooklyn Interest in the race Is by
no means confined to this section.
Motorists from all over the country,
from as far distant at San Francisco,
Chicago and New Orleans, have wired
for box and seat reservations.

achievements perpetuated by James
A. Bailey, the management has ever
maintained a standard approached ly
no other show. Barnum was the
pioneer of all great arenic events. In
his day his genius for the big things
was far in advance even of the present
age He perfected the system which
makes the circus of now possibility.
This is the only circus whose tours
cover the entire world. There is not
a land so remote but the management
has an agent there. There Is not n
city Of any size in any country but this
show AT some time during its fifty-hye
years existence has spread its fourteen
aces of tents there. With the advan-
tage of this foreign prestige, the en-
tire world has become its store house.
Nothing is out of its reach.
This years program is one of un-
usual interest even for this circus. 1t
embraces all the European talent of
the last winter seGson. The menagerie
has been increased and the new pa
rade is an exposition of the worlds
curios. The performance is given un-
der the largest canvas ever erected.
Beneath II are seats for $4,000 persons,
three rin.s. two stages, a vast hippo
drome track and an aerial enclaVe fill
ed with a bewildering labyrinth of ap-
parati. The circus employs 800 peo-
pie. 1.2SO of whom travel with the or
ganization. Theer are 700 horses, for
ty elephants and 1,2OO other animals.
The train upon which 1t travels is
more than a mile long and is divided
into five sections.
The regular performance is intro
duCed this season by spectacle more
and interesting than those
of the past The long program ends
with a hair.raising act by a mad
Frenchman. known profe ssionally as
Desperate. He leaps from the dome
of the tent to the ground, lighting
upon his unprotected chest. No thrill
ler of the past can be likened TO this
rash spectacle. In addition there Is
Jupiter. magnificent white horse,
which rides in a balloon and shots off
rockets, and other fireworks. A young
woman sits upon his back during his
dangerous ride,
Another sensation is found in the
performance of Charles the First. lie
is a chimpanzee, yet he Is the greatest
bicycle rider and acrobat in the world.
He originated his act and learned IT
without human guidance. He has learn
ed what he knows merely by his de
sire to initiate. OF the 400 other per
formers concerned In the giving of the
30 acts there are $50 foreigners, the
most of whom are making their first
tour of America.

Personal to
Parents Only

Frequently parents of children ten
years and over tell US they intend to
buy a piano but-not just now-in a
few years and so forth.
Now. did YOU ever stop to think
that the number of years in which
YOU can enjoy YOUR children are
but few. as the usual thing.
From the time they are old enough
to learn to play an instrument until
they 20 out TO a home Of their own is
usually but ten or twelve years.
You can live but once-you can en-
ioy the pleasure Of living but once
you can enjoy your children but once.
Why not enjoy it all to the full in the
possession of a Fine Piano, especially
when We offer them at such reasonable
and living prices? It's healthy enjoy
ment. # fills in the dun hours with
pleasure.
A piano will keep the young people
more contcnted at home, and when
they know how to play see what better
position they occupy out among their
friends.
A good musician is a welcome addi-
tion to any company.
Being a good musician also gives a.
young person a much better chance in
life for advancement Think it over.
Have a little talk with us.
But If you intend in the future to
buy, why put 1t off until just before
your children leave home, giving YOU
then but a taste or what you might
have enjoyed for many years?

A Bird. Curiosity.

Prof. Guy A. Bailey. member Of the
faculty of the Genesee State Normal
school, relates a little incident which
might be doubted were it not for the
fact that he has the proof to show for
the story. Mr.. Bailey was on Temple
hill with his camera attempting to get
a picture of horned lark. The lark
evidently thought that Mr.. Bailey
wac providing it with bird house. as
1t hoped on to the camera, back into
the trees. aud then back on the cam
era again.
The bird repeated this performance
several times, refusing to remain in
the trees long enough to be snapped.
Finally Mr.. Bailey left the camera
where he had located it, went and got
another camera, and when he returned
he secured a splendid picture OF the
bird perched on camera No. 1. Curl
osity got the best of the bird, and the
result was a novel picture.-Genesee
