Government Cruising Nation al Forest Timber in
 Southwest.

Washington, D. C., July 23- The II. $. Department of Agri- culture has undertaken the task of estimating the present stand of saw timber on each township and section of National Forest land in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Florida. It will probably take until the close of the year 1912 to complete the work, but when it is done the Governments for esters will know definitely how much timber can safely be cut from the National Forests in these States, and just where the timber Is that can be most ad- vantageously sold.
 When Forest has once been covered by such a reconnaissance, purchasers and Forest officers can agree on negotiations for timber sales, advertisements of the timber can be placed, bids made, and contracts let. Up to the present time, in Arizona, all the timber on the Coconino For est has been cruised, including the Grand Canyon Division, all on the Prescott, more than half of the Sitgreaves, about fifth of the Apache; in New Mexico, the Gallinas Division of the Lin coin, and half of the Pecos. Field parties are now at work in Ar kansas on the Arkansas National Forest, and in Florida on the Choctawhatchee.
 During the present field season it IS anticipated that the esti- mates covering the Apache, Gila, and Pecos, in New Mexico, and the Mount Graham Division of the Crook, in Arizona. can be completed, and that for the Manzano, in New Mexico, which was estimated in 1908, tkor- oughly revised. During the win ter of 1910 and 1911 undoubt- edly the Cochtawhatchee and Ocala, in Florida, and the Arkan- sas Ozark, in Arkansas, can be finished. Thus, it is likely that by 1913 all saw timber in Dis trict 8, which comprises the for ests of the South and Southwest, will be cruised and mapped so that purchasers can negotiate sales promptly and the Govern ment will know just what tim Der should be sold first and how much it can safely dispose of.

 Of crag and sandy dune She guards her fallen heroes With sun and cloud and moon The heart that bled for daring, The hand that swept away The wilderness of danger
 For the glory of today With eyes of clearing sunshine She looked into the years; With hands of faith enduring She wiped away the tears Her birth of blood forgotten, A captive of the wild, She comes to coronation A princess-and child! With lips of golden music She pleaded at the throne; The hands that lift the scepter And crown her are her own; The patriarchs that hail her And bow the knee tonight We are the humble pages That led her to the light!

The District Commissioners might very
properly consider the question OF regulat-
ing the length OF women's hat pins. A
few months ago there was some hope Of
relief from this danger. but the styles
have persisted In q manner to increase
rather than diminish the risk that Ia run
by every passenger in the street car or
an elevator where hats are worn. Indeed.
the pre- sent fashion Of feminine headgear
Is more of q menace In this regard than
Its predecessor. The inverted mixing
bowl type Of hat. locking q brirn which
might otherwise serve az fender, leaves
the hat pin points protruding several
inches beyond the crown. Most women
adjust the length Of their hatpins to the
largest hat In their wardrobe. and the
consequence 10 that almost all OF them
are larger than IL actually necessary for

of what has been termed the four Ms
Morals, Manhood. Mind and Muscle. This
Is done by appealing to the natural in
st!nct existent in all boys for an outdoor
life and the intuitive inclination ito do
things" Its spirit as developed In this
country is not military. Its aim Is to
bring out boys natural manl.ness, teach
them to look after themselves and to give
them the benefit of fresh air, exercise and
the study Of nature.
Before. a. member of the organization

ton to the people, with the result OF q
prospect Of heavy. unionist gains In the
next house of commons and possibly q
unionist majority over all the liberal
groups.
Something Of the same sort Is often
observed in this country. In the heat Of
a campaign some one writes letter or
makes a speech that Is recognized as
bearing vitality upon the questions at
issue. Immediately the opposing side
proc'aims 1t vehemently as token OF
victory; the enemy has overplayed his
position; the cat Is out of the bag: 1t
is all over but the shouting. Meanwhile
the partisans Of the man who made the
speech or wrote the letter are serenely
rating II as the most sagacious utterance
Of the campaign and asserting Its EN-
cacy to consolidate all factions Of the
party for an onward sweep to victory.
The truth Is that no one can accurate
~ foretell the effect upon large bodies
Of people under the stress Of political
excitement Of any specific utterance or
any incident. Political analysis Is not
an exact science, and no one has yet
found the secret Of the crowd. No .po-
litical leader ever made q statement or
delivered a speech for which he had
not at the time what appeared to be
good reason. Mr.. Baifour In this In
stance has undoubtedly to the best Of
his ability figured out the result OF
pledge by the tnionists to give the peo-
pie a chance to vote on q tariff reform
In advance Of party action. and has come
to the conclusion that this will eliminate
from immediate consideration the party
splitting question which stands in the
way of a clear-cut procurement on
upper-chamber veto and on the budget
But even Mr.. Balfour cannot tell wheth-
err as many unionists will be held to the
cause by this move as will be driven
from 1t by the fading Of the prospect OF
tariff reform on the party's own initia-
tive.
The difficulty about political forecast
ing in these times Is that parties are
no longer composed OF men who think
so strongly in unison on one dominating
issue as to heal all differences upon
other matters. The affairs of life are
so complex today that 1t is impossible
to form any group Of political CO.

upsEot Of it all Is that in every CAM

Holiday Shopping.

Washington has acquired the early shop
ping haoit and 1t is now wearing the but
ton which bespeaks promptness Of holi-
day provision. 1t Is hardly necessary to
remind the public that the days remain
ing before Christmas are rapidly slipping
past and that the crowds in the stores are
steadily growing larger. Christmas shop
ping can as well be done six weeks ahead
OF the holidays as six days. 1t is better
done two months In advance than two
weeks.
The really wise Christmas shopper not
only shops early in the season, but early
IN the day. Those who are employed until
40 may find 1t difficult to do much buy
ing early unless they make point to get
down town a little sooner than usual.
Half an hour gained at the breakfast
table may be well spent in the stores
There is plenty Of room then and selec-
tons can be made more comfortably aud
intelligently.
Organization Is the secret of effective
holiday buying. A carefully considered
list Of intended gifts should be prepared
we'll in advance. with consideration for
the personal purse and the range Of
prices 1t is not necessary to try to do
!
necessary to try to make all the decisions
at the counter. There Is something more
than mere promptness required of the
Christmas shopper. and that Is considers
ton for others. It is always well to bear
in mind the fact that the clerk is able to
wait on only one person at once. Also
that there are others waiting for atten-
ton Long deliberation over the precise
shade or the exact quantity or the par
ocular size may be essential to good
workmanship at home In the making up
Of raw materials, but 1t is rarely neces-
sary to conduct these self-communings in
the way OF traffic
The shopper who knows precisely what
Is wanted and who knows where to get
1t and who knows what can be afforded
in the way Of price Is perhaps too rare
to be called the ideal Of merchants. But
there are approximations. 1t should be
possible for the average buyer OF Christ

The Rules of the Next House.

Why renew the controversy about the
House rules at the coming session
The changes made at the last
session insure satisfactory transac-
ton Of business of the routine order;
and little II any other business will be
done. Appropriation bills have the right
Of way. and seldom in all the country
history have they been halted. There Is
no threat Of halting them now. The
government will get Its supplies for the
next fiscal year, and then Congress will
shut up shop. Not single change In the
rules is necessary to bring the affairs of
me present House to a fair and business
like close.

one wheel. SO TO say, until the question
OF its rules is settled. Such course, 1t
is true. would require an immediate set
Element of the matter; but that could be
effected. The law of necessity would

Let il be admitted that the Joke" Is
on the democrats. They went a long
way at both the special session and the
first regular session of the present House
in helping the insurgency in the repub-
lican party against what is called Can
nonism. II was for the moment good
politics, and they played it with Zest.
They did not foresee that they would
soon be in the majority. and that all
they were then saying and doing would

Some are now willing TO take their
medicine. If they did not mean all they
then said they will stand to it for con-
sistency's sake. Others hesitate. Can
nOnism does not today appear to them In
the same light 1t did year ago. AS
they see the matter at present, the Speak

me held accountable for It's exercise. If
he should attempt the role of car, de-
pose him. He is the servant of the

Give Mr.. Clark and his friends a chance.
Their responsibilities will be eavy. They
have promised much-a little more than
Is comfortable for them now to contem-

redemption purposes. 1t will be time
enough to put them on record as to this
