A VETERAN GONE.

Another gallant defender of the Con
federacy was called to his reward Mon
day morning at Timpson, Texas, and
when about to return to his home, in
Shreveport. His end was by an accident
which is deplorable. If E. w. Lacy
better known as "Buck" Lacy, has beer
removed from the activities of life, ibis
memory can always be recalled with sat
isfaction by those who were directly his
connections as relatives and by his
friends who admired him for his manly
worth.
The deceased was possessed of a gen
ial temperament His presence was like
sunshine and he was ever ready to help
with words and with deeds to the fullest
of his ability those who came within his
reach.
A true good man has gone from us,
but there is solace in the reflection that
his record rs soldier, a citizen, as a
husband and father is clean and may be
cherished by those who loved him.

Of Interest

Among the people who interest us is
Henry S. Graves, chief forester in the
government service and successor to Mr..
Clifford Pinchot Mr.. Graves took tip
the study of forestry when there were
not ten professional foresters in the
United States. Like Mr.. Pinchot, he
went abroad for both theoretical and
practical training, as it was impossible
to obtain a thorough education in for
estry in this country, because American
forestry possessed neither science nor
literature of its own. Mr.. Graves is a
Yale man of the class of 1892. After he
left college he took up a special course
iii forestry at Harvard, but finding it
insufficient he went to Germany where
he spent several years studying forestry
in the University Of Munich. Returning
to this country he joined forces with
Mr.. Pinchot acting as his chief assistant
prior to the organization of the govern
ncnt service. Mr.. Graves was made
director of the Yale forest school in 1000
His work kept him in close touch with
Mr.. Pinchot in the organization of the
servicew hich has now become famous
Although his own work at Yale was
largely academic, he took every oppor-
tunity to develop the practical side of it,
so that he is thoroughly conversant not
only with the details of the service, but
with the broad outlines of the future
work planned by Mr.. Pinchot. Mr..
Graves has done much to arouse public
interest i'll forestry. He is member of
the Academy of Science i'll Washington,
and also in Connecticut and New Hamp-
shire. He also belongs to the American
Forestry Association and as disciple
of Mr.. Pinchot we may expect good re-
suits from his appointment,

POOR MOTHER

One day after the heavy milk cans had
been secured and scalded, the ironing
was done and the bread making, for the
hardest tasks of the week must be done
with one fire, the mother finished some
sewing that was pressing, and then, as
the sun was setting, stepped out into the
garden. She had spaded the garden her
self in the spring, for the men were too
busy A thrifty rose bush presented her
with a beautiful blossom. She raised her
hand to pluck it, but a vertigo came
upon her and she fell. They ran out and
lifted her tip. Poor mother, they said,
she should not have tried to gather the

MR.. BERNsTEfN's VISIT.

By request Mr.. Michael Bernstein
talked to the pupils of the sixth grade at
the central school Thursday afternoon
ON the injurious effects of drugs Mr..
Bernstein described the plants which
produce gum opitim and cocaine and told
Of the countries in which they grow. His
talk on the history of the opium trade,
the habits of the opium fends and the
terrible effects of opium and the drugs
derived from it was made more inter-
|esting by the specimens which he
showed of the drugs themselves. The
children examined with keen interest the
leaves from which cocaine is made and
gave close attention to his decription OF
its deadly effect upon the soul, mind
and body of its wretched victims. Mr.
Bernstein has promised TO make weekly
talks reaching this way every pupil ii
