With this maid could compare.

Her eye alight with glee;

Then suddenly her mood had changed,
This fair and tickle one;

A smile replaced her frown;

EROA OTHER PENS

AN IMPORTANT FORWARD STEP.
The House Committee on Agricul-
ture reports favorably on the bill
creating the White Mountain and APP
palachian forest reserves. The action
follows many years of agitation in New
England and the Atlantic states and
Will meet with general approval in all
sets aside 5000. 900 that may be spent
within the next five years in the ac-
quirements Of watersheds on the navt-
gable rivers of the two sections 1t
is not SO comprehensive a measure Of
conservation as the advocates of the
project had hoped for; but, If the bill
succeeds in passing both branches of
Congress. it will be a victory for the
new thought.
In spite of what such men as Chef
Moore, of the Weather Bureau, say to
the contrary, the weight of opinion
still is that forests have a large in
duence in determining steadiness of
flow in streams. Treeless headWaters
mean quick and disastrous run-offs,
such as caused tho recent disaster in
Paris. And It is not only the streams
of the White and Appalachian Noun
House bill. These mountain districts
contain rapidly diminishing supply
of valuable timber which needs the
protecting hand of the government to
be saved from determination. These
timber resources are but a fraction of
what they were when this copserva-
ton project was first urged before
congress; but they are still worth saw
ing.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
SENDING FALSE NEWS.
An English jury has just convicted
a wandering newspaper correspondent
for sending by telegraph false news
over a forged signature to the London
Daily Mail, and a sentence of six weeks
was imposed by the court.
The dispatc.- in question came dur
ing the last parliamentary election to
the Daily Mail, signed walter Kirby"
the name of a we'll known correspond
ent, who in 1901 sent to the London
Times from Buffalo it's account of
President McKinley's assassination. In
stead of being sent by him, 1t was
really sent by Fred Harner, q newspa-
caught sending false news and cashing
a false check and cut off from its list
in consequence. The offense is I'M
usual. but it is one by which any news
paper might be deceived and the jury
and court, in this case, refused to ac-
the accused, that he had used KIRBY
as a signature In his newspaper work.
The English conviction was secured
under the general act making It q
crime to send a dispatch falsely sign
ed, whether there was an intent to
statutes covering the offense. ANY
false or forged message" sent by tele-
graph with intent to deceive, injure
or defraud' ls q misdemeanor by an
act passed in 1860. If the statement is
libelous, as well as false, and is sent

fine or Imprisonment, or both, under
an act passed in 1s93.-Philadelphi

BY the shape of Your Nose.

There is a tolerably close racial paral-
lei between high-nosed and high-mind-
ed. The nose is not only our most hui
man, but in a broad sense is our most
intellectual feature. Growth of nose
and shrinkage of jaw have been the
two great correlates which have ac
companied human progress. The mo-
ment, however, that we endeavor to go
beyond these broad and loose generan-
cations. we find ourselves in trouble.
This, from the fact patent to every one
who has kept his eyes open, that we
find noses of practically all shapes,
from the plebeian pug to the artistic
cratic aquiline. in individuals of the
same race. and even in members of
the same family. although the long and
straight, or convex. noses would be far
more numerous in the higher races and
the ADLER families. It is comparatively
seldom that a great man has a small
nose. or even a short one. and instead
of applying such terms as ''proboscis,"
'beak," carrot" and ''beet" TO a large,
long aggressive nose. it should be re-
garded as a mark of breeding and as
prima facie evidence of good blood and
possible capacity.-Dr. Woods Hutchin-
son, in Success.
