In the whole wide world it seems there is only one American duke, and he is very generous. He is Joseph, Florimund Due de Loubat, and was born in New York 79 years ago. The Due de Loubat received the title from Pope Loe XIII, in view of his generous gifts to the Church of Rome. and especially to the University at Washington.
 We were exceedingly pleased and sur prised ourselves the other day to re- ceive his large donation for our own Academy of Inscription and Belles-Let- tres, of which he is a member.
 The nature of this donation is that of an annuity to benefit savants belonging to the academy whose work may be in terrupted by sickness or lack of means. The academicians have accepted this money with great cordiality from their foreign associate, who graduated from the University of Paris 50 years ago.
 The Due de Loubat and the venerable Henry Vignaud, for 40 years secretary of the American embassy, may often be seen lunching together of Friday. They invariably eat coup maigre and in every way observe the church law of abstin- ence, although both are now in their eighteth year.
 Our appreciation of the Due de Lou bats gift Is only second to that of our gratitude to MT. Henry Rodman Wana- maker of Philadelphia, who recently gave a school to a French commune because his mother-in-law had been born there. No more delicate compliment could be paid our women We are only sorry that the mother-in-law of MT. Wanamakers S charming wife is not a French woman, because if she were we should surely get another school.

I cannot refrain from committing an indiscretion when it is in favor of a widow. For that enthusiastic little He brew St. Paul (who was wont to thunder forth in classical Greek, great Christian truths) tells us to Honor the widow" I do more. I love her. Hence I have pleas ure in letting you know that Mrs. George Law that most beautiful of American widows) is to be first maid of honor at Miss Elkins' wedding to the Due d Ab- ruzzi
 This was arranged when the gallant and handsome young Italian prince first laid siege to the American girl. Mrs. Law was Miss Elkins chosen confident in this most delicate affair. They were both stopping at the Hotel du Rhin. And here, in this discreet hostelry (when all obstacles to the royal dukes marriage to the American girl had been surmount- ed) the two friends again came together and again Miss Elkins recalled Mrs. Laws former promise to be her brides bald So the beautiful widow will di- vide the honors of this semi-royal we'd ding ceremony. It means for her con firmed and assured position in all Flu ropean courts, and also a title of mobility should she so desire.
 The other day Miss Elkins and Mrs. Law went to Aix together to talk things over. They had lively time lodging the reporters. but Mrs. Law was equal to the emergency. She knows her Paris-indeed she has resided here so long we almost consider her as a Parisian-and the poor reporters were outdone. Just how this remarkable widow has managed to es- cape matrimony is a mystery that puzzles the social world of all the various capi- tals of Europe. Coronets have been laid at her feet, but she uses them as foot stool

Fire Losses in National Forests.

The Forest Service of the Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates the
amount of timber killed and de-
stroyed by the recent fires in Mon
tOna and northern Idado at over
six billion board feet, and the area
burned over about one and a quar-
ter million acres. The heaviest
losses were i'll the Occur d'Alene,
the Clearwater, the Helena national
forest, the Cabinet forest and the
Cabinet forest. and the Lolo forest.
The fires extended from north of
Wallace, Idaho, to some thirty miles
west of Missoula, Montona, or near
ly one hundred miles, and its widest
point about forty miles. 1t was
really union of separate fires,
driven to fury by the fierce hurri-
cane Of August 26th.
The extensive losses are ascribed
to combination of hurricane and
lack of means to get to the fires and
put them out before the storm
came There are no roads nor tel
ephone connections in the center Of
these forests, due to the parsimony
of congress in refusing to make
appropriations that purpose.
The Department of Agriculture is
making every effort to see that this
fire killed timber is used as soon as
possible, and will put the price
down to point that will justify
lumbermen in buying and market
ing it for the good of the country.
Much of this six billion board feet
can probably be salvaged, but it
must be done at once or it is
useless.
1t is believed that last summers
fires burned up or killed between
one and two per cent of the total
stand of national forest timber, or
about enough to keel, all lumber
mills busy for something less than
two months. &c Elk.

St. Louis, Nov. IS. An explosion
in a pool room on the lower floor
at 919 Pine street hurled a police
man 20 feet in the air out into the
middle of the street and injured
three others. A fire that followed
within fifteen minutes did $4,000
damage, the greater part of which
falls on the Bell Telephone compa-
ny, which had $4,000 worth of
new telephones stored on the sec
ond floor. A sixty gallon. tank of
gasoline in the rear of the building
in some way was ienited, causing
the explosion and fire.

Rest the Horses Feet.

Every farm horse should, is pos
sible, be allowed to 90 without his
shoes at least two or three months
every year, in the opinion of The
Horseman. In fact. it is hardly
necessary to shoe a horse on the
farm unless he is to 60 on the hard
roads or work on the hard soil
where he is required to do much
heavy pulling. Without shoes a
horses hoof will grow out, regain
its natural shape, which is always
more or less changed by continuous
shOeing.
Many city horses with hoofs
bound and cracked and otherwise
injured, have been taken to a farm
their shoes pulled off and turned
out to pasture and thoroughly cur,
ed within six months. In fact the
farmers around the large cities used
to find in this class of animal q
cheap supply, many of which turn
ed out to be first-class horses, show,
ing that all was needed was rest on
Mother Earth without their shoes. -
Dumb Animals.

Harkl bark! my soul,
Angelic songs are swelling.

The man stopped. Something in
him stirred as the waves of sound
tioated out through the half-Open
window, and when the choir joined
the contraltO ami carried the music
up up to the splendid climax,
the man became conscious of emo
tons he had not experienced for
years. He had cotton out of the
way of going to church.
When the music stopped, he re-
sumed his stroll, but not the train
of thought interrupted by the
music.
He recalled that as he stood
there man and woman, absorbed
in animated conversation, passed
apparently without hearing the
music.
Why was he appealed to and not
these others?
He was rather pleased with him
self that he had been appealed to
by the beautiful music.
He was rather sorry for the 9TH
ers that they had not been ap-
pealed to.
1t argued larger capacity in
him.
Is a man who doesn't care for
music less a man? He felt quite
sure of it.
Isn't it a test of a big soul - to
care much for many things? He
was sure of it.
He thought of his children.
If he wished to develop them
along big lines, must he not put
them in the way of caring for many
things-books, music, science, art
history, humanity?
The logic was plain.
To live greatly is to care greatly.

extent this will be true of cotton as
well. In fact, the time is not far
distant when the United States will
be an importer of fOOdstuffS, unless
the farmers in some way secure a
supply of skilled labor that will en-
able them to give their farms such
intensive cultivation that the yield
per acre will be very considerably
increased. This can be done and
will be done, but probably not for
some years to come, and not even
then if the agricultural products of
Canada and the live stock from
Mexico are allowed to come in free
or at low rate of duty, as is pro-
posed by the president and by Sir
MILFORD Laurier, premier OF Canada
1t may be interesting to know
something Of the kind Of manufact-
ured produces which are sent
abroad in increasing quantity. The
agricultural implements exported
during the eight months ending in
August show a total Of $23,000,000
as against $21,OOO,00J in 1909; cars
and carriages, S17,OOO,OOO. as
against $12,000GOO. The exports
of automobiles and parts of auto

1t is also interesting to note that
while Europe is our best customer
but little more than half our total
exports 90 to that continent, the
rest going elsewhere. This is a
wonderful change from a few year:
ago.
All this explains the dissatisfac,
ton with our present tariff legisla-
ton. The secondary manufacture
ers, the small men as contrasted
with the trusts that control iron
and steel and cotton manufactures
ETC., feel that they are badly handi
capped by the high prices they
have to pay for their trust CONTROL
ed raw material. The movement
for a modification of the tariff is
not coming so directly from farm
ers as from secondary, or the small
er manufacturers, who realize tina
they must have relief from the op
preston of the larger trusts, who
while selling their products in {
foreign market at competitive rates
are able to extort high prices from
