MERE MAN THINKS HE KNOWS

Does the wife require more for hats.

A New York magistrate allowed Mrs.

Anyway, a woman needs more money
than o man"
I don't think So" answered the magis-

1T is so. For instance, a woman has to
buy many hats"
"A man has to buy many hats, too"
But a woman has to buy many skirts
And a man has to buy many trousers. -
We'll, a woman certainly has TO buy

The general government and many OF
our sister states have well under way con-
sistent plans Of scientific. forestry in the
umbered regions Of our country. our own
state OF Nebraska, unfortunately. has but
a scanty supply Of natural timber. But so
much the more does II become us to con-
serve and handle i%ntelligentiy what we have
and to show ourselves not one whit behind
others in our appreciation Of the lmpor-
lance OF this problem nor in our ability to
make the best of the situation. We have
the pines of the northwestern counties and
the deciduous forests scattered in spots
along the Missouri and lower Platte riv-
ers, now mostly cleared. In each Of these
reg.ons tracts should be secured and set
aside by the state as forest reserves upon
which the principles Of scientific forestry
may be practically illustrated for the edu-
cation of our people in the carrying out Of
similar plans on their own land and for
their profit in the timber produced.

In the eastern part OF the state, by far the
largest and most varied tract OF timber
land lies along the Missouri river in Sarpy
county, between Omaha and Bellevue.
This piece Of land Of some 1000 acres in
extent possesses a rich soil Of forest loan
and has tempted gardeners to clear small
patches here and there. but It Is a wild.
rough country Of narrow ridges separated
by deep ravines leading to the river, en-
tirely u~nsulted for cultivation.
But nature has shown its appreciation
Of it's best use in covering the tract with
a growth Of timber and to this use It
should be left. The tract produces natu-

will point to our folly in allowing this
ruthless waste of the bounty of nature.
The main portion of the tract should be

SEES KIN IN PHOTO
Chimpanzee Recognizes the Pic-
 ture of One of Its Kind.
Gazed lntently at Features and, with Evident Recognition, Implants on Card Affectionate Kiss and
 Hands Back.

f1drTlSDuTS, Fa.-An incident SuS- gestive of Darwin's theory of mans monkey ancestry occurred here in the remarkably human" conduct of a trained chimpanzee exhibited before Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, state commis sioner of health, and eminent among American zoologists and scientists.
 This anthropoid, Lady Betty" by name, was seated in the commission CTS private office calmly smoking a cigarette when Dr. Dixon, merely to see what the effect might be. handed her a photograph of one of her own species-a copy of one in the collec- tion presented the American Academy Of Natural Sciences by Dr. Thomas Riddle.
 Lady Betty" took the picture in her right hand" turned in her seat to get the most favorable light upon 1t, gazed intently at the features, and then, With every indication of pleased recognition, pressed it to her lips, i'm planting upon it an affectionate kiss
 After which she gracefully handed 1t to the scientist, leaving him and the office assistants who were witnesses or the proceedings amazed at such an exhibition of human attributes.
 'I picked up the photograph" said Dr. Dixon, "and handed it to her. She took the picture, turned 1t around carefully to get it in the right posi- ton and moved her body into first one position and then another. in or. der to get the proper light upon the picture. She studied that photograph as intelligently as any human being could have done. Suddenly she kissed it.
 Tn succession the photographs of gorilla and other anthropoids were given her. She looked at them hut made no such move of recognition or affection"
 Accompanied by her owner and trainer Lady Betty" had entered the room with grace and dignity and with out word of command, had walked up to Dr. Dixon and shaken hands With him. He asked her to be seated ana she took chair beside his desk.
 Her trainer then asked if she would like to smoke, and in response to an affirmative nod. he gave her q ciga. rette and match. Deftly she struck light. and after making the desired use of it, blew 1t out. Then she looked around for some place to mt the burnt stick, of which she was re. lieved by the trainer.
 It was at this juncture that Dr. Dixon thought of the photographs in his desk. His long association with the Philadelphia geological gardens. or which he has for many years been vice-president, has brought him in contact with many members of the monkey family, and he has made a special study of the alleged relation. snip between that group of animals and human beings That he had no thought of in any way arousing Lady Bettys" interest in the photograph is best evidenced by his own statement:

 Riding will be taught, both side saddle and astride, and single and pair driving, while girls who desire 1t may learn stable work.
 Lady Ernestine has travelled and re- sided in Canada, South Africa and Australia, and is a well-known advo- cate of emigration for properly quail fled and educated girls.
 When they are weary of single life in the colonies. they will not lack of fers of marriage. for there are hun dreds of eligible Britons eager for such capable helpmeets.
 Discipline and industry are insisted upon. and two references are required from each intending pupil, in addition to parental introduction.
 Girls who do not wish to go to the colonies will be qualified to become housekeepers in large households or matrons.
 No servants will be kept at Cosham park. and the girls will do the menial as well as more ornamental work Thorough is the motto of the school.
 Terms last from three to six months and the fees. including everything but laundry and doctor. are made as mod crate as possible, for middle class girls who have had good school edu- cation are specially welcomed.

 "As she was leaving" said Dr. Dix on, she took my hand most gracious ly. I said 'good-by.' and she very evi dently endeavored to initiate me, working her lips and mumbling.
