 BOOK ABOUT HIMSELF
BY EDWARD MARSHALL

the town to which his folks had moved so that he might have his chance.
 T could never expect to find another community like that" he writes, where else could one find firm like Coolidge and McClaine. starting in partnership with a bookkeeper; they never even kept a pencil account. When Jack Mo .Claine saw his partner with new pair of pants on, whether he, McClaine, needed any or not.he took from the store just such a pair to balance the books, and that was their method. This firm has grown and grown until it Is one of the biggest on the Pacific coast, and sends cash to New York city when call money rents for big premiums on Wall street.
 T remember my first impression of Sil- verton. l was between 4 and 5 years old. was dressed up with my little boots that had copper toes. I followed the sidewalk to the old covered bridge. and from 1t saw a great city for once. with out grandmother holding me. I was in a trance of delight when Marshall Dud- ley came up to me and in a bass voice said: You get back to Aung Frank Coolidge's and hard as you can run l did and found to my horror. that I had bumped a copper toe of one of my new boots somewhere enroute. Somehow, from that moment silverton has always been to me the greatest city in the world
 I hear the roar of Silver creek as Il pours over the old Mill dam; have | thought of 1t while seated in the ruins l of the Colosseum of Rome, in London and Paris and Constantinople, while rest ing in the death like silence of the shadow of the Sphinx. and told of 1t near the Euphrates river in Arabia, while among the wild tribes of Anezeh.

Our Wealth fin Forests

From the National Monthly.
 Exclusive of Alaska, and the forest re- serves set apart by different states, the forests of this country cover an esti- mated total of 600,000,0 900 acres. That Is 32 per cent of the whole acreage of the nation. Including Alaska, much more than one-third of the entire resources of the country measuring them by square contents, are embodied In its forest prop critics.
 This gigantic and superb bequest from Nature represents a literal money value of more than two billions of dollars. But It's potential money value Is be- yond the power of mathematical science to express. It would be sheer childishness | to try to approximate it by reckoning UT the amount of timber now actually or the ground. Though the yearly timber crop which the 1s4, 5o0.o0o acres of na- | tional forests are capable of yielding
 would be worth s1o.oo0,Ooo on the stump and probably s1oo,oo0,o0o after being made ready for market. the forage value of these lands for the immense herds of horses, cattle, sheep and goats which graze on them, amounts to about $10.0oo,- 0o0 annually.
 Assuming, as 1t is fair to do. that the normal annual timber crop of the 600.ooo,- : coo acres of woodlands in the United States (national, state or privately owned) would have value, Ion the stump" oi at least $3o.oo0.00o that must be multi piled by ten to get the worth of the same timber prepared for the market, thus reaching the colossal aggregate of $300, oOo.0o0 and that only for single year
 Take into account the infinite exten- sion and perpetuation of properties by preservation and replanting of the forests. and the vast problems of grazing, water storage agricultural development and manufacturing progress, which are d. rectly or indirectly connected with this forestry question. and we begin faintly

My First Play from Harper's Bazaar.


 It seemed better to begin with Rebecca. Rebecca had made her own following. more or less; at any rate, she t.nid her self" as the children say. and had all ways appeared to my own view as a joyous and somewhat accidental parent Perhaps q thought she will hold some of her friends on the stage as she did in the book. Of course, if she fails I shall have been a very cruel literary mother, dragging my child from the spot where she was appreciated and beloved. and transplanting her to one where peo- pie might shake their heads at her and say: "We don't like you at all. Why didn't you stay at Sunnybrook Farm where you belenged?'
 These thoughts and many others pos sessed my mind and conscience in the weeks before my friend Charlotte Thomp- son came to my summer home in Maine to help in the undertaking. She came a comparative stranger and left warm friend, contrary to all histories of col laboraton, which ordinarily end in pre- cisely the opposite way. She was born for this particular task. Of course she may have been born for several other minor reasons. but I willAot argue that

Ought to Climb for Him
From the National Monthly.

From the National Monthly.
 He had never f1shed before, and his rod was new and shining with resplendent varnish. Faultlessly attired, he was whipping trout stream when by some odd chance he gpt bite, one-pounder from the way the line strained. He did not play the fish at all, but with rod held straight ahead. he slowly and steadily reeled him in. Presently the fish's head appeared below the end of the rod. Did he stop? No; he kept on reeling the fish in, and finally the fish . head touched the tip. The man even tried to pull him through the ring Just then the man turned and saw a stranger standing on the bank. With a bewildered look he said: What shall do now"
 The only thing you can do now" the man said, Ifs to climb up the pole after him."

 Two candidates for the same ohice came into certain town one day. The one called at a house where a little girl came to the door. Said he: ''sissie, will you please bring me a glass of water T' Hay ing brought the water, he gave her some candy, and asked; Did the man ahead of me give you candy?" Yes. sir Then he gave her a nickel and said: Did he give you moneyT' "Yes. sir. he gave me ten cents.' Then picking her up he kissed her, and said: Did he kiss you?''

PRESIDENTS LAST
 LEGISLATIVE BILL To License Corporations Doing Interstate Business ITS PROBABLE COURSE Representative EIIerbe of South Caro- lima Thinks Democrats Will Make Clean Sweep of New York
 in November
Il ITS PROBABLE COURSE
By RoDERICK CLIFFORD

Washington, October 15.-(Special) )-Ac- cording to the talk around republican congressional headquarters, President Taft's bill to license corporations doing an interstate commerce business will be reported to the House from the judiciary committee, and an effort made to pass it before adjournment for the Christmas holidays. This was the last measure on the Presidents administration programme to be introduced in the House at the last session of Congress. The bill was drawn by Attorney-General wickersham after consultation with Representative Parker of New Jersey. chairman of the House judiciary committee, and was approved by the President. It was introduced in the House by Mir. Parker. and by him referred to subcommittee for consid- eration. But owing to the complications that arose over the railroad rate bill, and the desire to give that measure the pref erence, the bill to license corporations was permitted to go over to the Decem- Der season.
 Since the adjournment of Congress, June 25. last friends of the corporation license bill have been busily at work creating sentiment in favor of the meas
 
 administration that this last number on the Presidents legislative programme will be put through. It is understood that the insurgents, who were barred from the patronage counter during the last session, but who are now welcomed by the President. will vote for special rule, If necessary. to put through the cor poration license bill without undue de- bate. Judging from the petitions on file in the House judiciary committee, the corporations who do interstate commerce business are heartily in favor of the pro- posed law because it's enactment will serve, in a large measure. as bulwark against the petty annoyances imposed by drastic state laws. Opponents of the measure base their opposition. on the ground that such a law would create friction between the states and the fed eral government, and might engender no end of litigation. However, as the Pres ident seems to have a majority of the House with him 1t is not improbable that he will win out. The real fight on the measure will take place in the Senate
