DRY OVER MONTANA

The condition of stock on ranges
in Montana outside the national
forest is critical because of drought
conditions in that territory, accord
ing to a telegram received by
Associate Forester Potter from Chief
Adams at Missoula. The dispatch
from Mr.. Adams justifies the applica-
tion made a few days ago to the forest
service by sheep growers of Montana
for the use of the Beartooth and
Absaroka national forest for the
grazing of their hocks. In order to
meet the emergency the number of
sheepalready admitted to these re-
serves will be increased to the limit
that the woodlands accommodate
without injury.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
His Enormous Hands and Feet and
His Wonderful STRENGTH.

His Enormous Hands and Feet and
His Wonderful Strength.
In a memoir written by David Aker
son In 1911 is found this description:
Washington had large, thick nose.
and 1T was very red that day, giving
me the impression that he was not 80
moderate in the use Of liquors as be
was supposed to be. found afterward
that this was peculiarity. His nose
was apt to turn scarlet In cold wind
He was standing near a small camp
fire, evidently lost In thought, and
making no effort to keep warm. He
seemed six feet and half in height
was rs erect as IN Indian and did not
for a moment relax from military
attitude that seemed vital part of
the man.
Washington's exact height was six
feet two inches in his boots He was
then a little lame from striking his
knee against tree. His eye was so
gray that it looked almost white, and
he had q troubled look on his colorless
face. He had piece of wooden tied
around his throat and was quite hoarse.
Perhaps the throat trouble from which
he finally died had its origin about
then.
Washingtnn's boots were enormous
They were No. II. His hands were
larger In proportion, and he could not
buy glove to At him and had to
have his gloves made to order. Ills
mouth was his strong feature, the lips
being always tightly compressed. That
day they were compressed SO tightly
as to be almost painful to look at.
At that time he weighed 200 pounds,
and there was no surplus flesh about
him. He was tremendously muscled,
and the fame Of his great strength was
everywhere, Els large tent, when
wrapped up with the poles, was SO
heavy that 1t required two men to
place 1t in the camp wagon. Washing
ton would lift it with one hand and
throw 1t In the wagon as easily as If
it were a pair Of saddlebags. He could
bold musket In one hand and shoot
with precision as easily as other men
did with pistol. His lungs were
weak, his voice never strong.
He was at that time in the prime of
life. His hair was chestnut brown,
his cheeks were prominent, and his
head was not large In contrast to ev.
cry other part Of his body, which
seemed large and bony at all points.
His finger joints and wrists were so
large as to be genuine curiosites. AS
to his habits at that period l found
out much that might be interesting.
He was an enormous eater but was
content with bread and meat If he had
plenty Of 1t. It was his regular Gus.
tom to take a drink of rum or whisky
meat on awakening in the morning.
OF course all this was changed when
he grew old. l saw him at Alexan.
dria a year before he died. His hair
was very gray, and his form was
slightly bent Els chest was very
thin.

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as we'll
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, 1t is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light BAN
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

LESSONS IN FORESTRY.

The world is fast learning the value
of its forests and is taking steps to
protect or reclaim them. Wanton
waste during centuries of ignorance
to the verge of a desolation like that
of the Sahara, but repentance and re-
forestation have in every instance
been followed by immediate rewards.
Take the case of the Karst, stretch
of barren limestone land along the
Austrian shores of the Adriatic. The
navies of Venice were built of timber
from the Karst, and most of eastern
Italy drew its supplies of wood from
the same supposedly inexhaustible
source. The result was Objectionable
Karst was turned into a seemingly ir-
redeemable waste. At last Austrian
foresters turned their attention to the
100000 barren acres; taxes were re-
mttted and money was RENTED to
tree planters; technical advice AID en-
enlargement was supplied. This work
began in 1865. To-day over two-thirds
of the Karst, or 100000 acres, has been
reclaimed. Germany, france, Den
MARI, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium
and Holland have given special atten-
ton 10 their forests recently, Germany
being the pioneer and leader in the
work. But France has lately done sc
much in legislation and active assist

given to her efforts.

a Birds SAVINGS Bank.

In California the woodpecker stores
acorns away, although he never eats
them. He bores several holes, differ
ing slightly in size, at the fall of the
year. invariably in pine tree. Then
he find an acorn, which he adjusts to
one of the holes prepared for its re-
ception.
But he does not eat the acorn, for,
as rule, he is not a vegetarian. His
object is storing away the acorns ex-
hibits foresight and a knowledge of
results more akin to reason than to
instinct. The succeeding winter the
acorns remain intact. but, becoming
saturated, are predisposed to decay,
when they are attacked by maggots,
which seem to delight in this special
food

reaps the harvest his wisdom has pro-
vided. at a time when, the ground be-
ing covered with snow he would ex-
