NO LONGER PINE TREE STATE
Maine Seems to Have Preferred Ac-
quirement of Riches to Retain.
ing Good Name.

New England statisticians are a
little slow in discovering that Maine
is no longer entitled to be known as
the Pine Tree state. Twenty years
ago the head of the Maine Central
railroad, when asked where a con-
sumptive could take refuge to get
the full breath of the pines, answered
that no pines had been left in Maine
for a long time previous. Spruce
there still is in some abundance, but
it is fast falling before the ak of the
lumberman, just as fell the statelier
evergreens.
Now that the pines are gone the
cry is raised that they might have
been saved in large measure if in
the early days of the onslaught upon
our resources any intelligent effort
toward conservation had been at
tempted. Scientific forestry is stead
fast to protect, but slow to rebuild,
and the majestic forests that gave
Maine her fame can be known no
more. With the full knowledge that
good name is rather to be chosen
than riches, Maine deliberately suf-
fered the sacrifice of the one for the
other.

the BEST PLACE FOR WHISKY
Old Indian Fighter Declares u 10 ef
More Value In the Shoes Than
IN the Stomach.

A st. Joseph patrolman who was
formerly an Indian fighter told how
the soldiers used to keep their feet
warm by pouring whisky in their
boots. "We were escorting wagon
train across the snow," said the pa
trolman, "when it was 80 degrees
below zero. Of course, we we're
fixed for it. We had the Nelson A.
Miles overcoats, which are lined
with pelt and button snugly under
the chin; warm gloves, and our boots
were two sizes too big in order to al
low us to wear heavy knit woolen
socks. The quartermaster issued us
rations, including whisky, before we
started.
"I was astonished to see the lieu
tenant in charge pull out his boot
strap and dump half bottle of
whisky in one boot and the remain
der in the other. He said it kept
his feet warm, and / tried it. The
other man on our wagon drank his
and we started. That night my feet
were perfectly dry and warm. The
soldier who drank his portion suf-
fered frozen feet and had to be sent
back to Fort Smelling before the
winter was over. | soon learned it
was no unusual thing for the SOL
dicrs to pour whisky in their boots" ."

WHAT IMPRESSED THE LADIES
sishtseers in Supreme Court Chiefly
Interested In Hirsute Appendage
of Judge.

Two elderly ladies, one of them
an instructor in a well-known girls
college, were "doing Washington"
They began with the senate, and,
after listening to a stirring speech
by Senator Rayner, in which he
urged that Zelaya should be arrested
and tried as murderer, they sailed
forth to see what the supreme court
was like. Recounting their impress
sions afterward, they told of their
arrival in the midst of an argument,
in which young man was defend
ing his clients right to certain
patent.
"But," explained one of the
ladies, "the young man talked SO
low, we could not hear what he said.
The. strange thing about il" she COM
tinued, "was that all the judges
looked as though they were asleep. 1
don't suppose they were, but they
looked that way And, oh, do you
think" she questioned, as sudden
thought flashed into her mind, "do
you suppose that Justice Brewer
wears wig, or is that long white
hair really his own?"

TRAVEL ON THEIR sroMAcHs.

Certain devotees in India, in their
-fanatical zeal, practically travel
from place to place on their stom-
achs Their method of progression
is rather peculiar. Throwing them
selves forward full length on the
ground, they make a mark with their
hands as far in front of them as they
can reach. Then, springing up, they
put their toes to the mark and re-
peat the process. Some of these de-
votees travel halfway across the In
dian continent in this extraordinary
fashion. Wide World Magazine.

fired this morning from every fort in
the country, while all the battleships
of the navy fired salutes of twenty
one guns. The imperial review of
the army was, as usual, the great
