DIDN'T HELP Mr.. IMMERSION
Admitting That Mabel .Walloper Was
Thoughtful, She Still Had His
Umbrella.

They may say what they please
about Mabel Walloper," said old Mrs
immersion, as she poured out her
husbands tea the other night, while
the rain fell in torrents outside she
may be frivolous-indeed, know she
is frivoloug-and one of the worst lit
tie firts in town, and the way she
treats poor Hiram WinkeItop is all
that anybody who chooses to criticize
her for it may say about her. Then
she is the bossiest woman from here
to Skowhegan-there isn't a pie in
this town that she isn't eternally try
ing to get her finger in; and l don't
wonder the minister's wife hates her,
the way she goes in to run everything
from the Sunday school up to the
Sewing society; but all the same she
is a considerate woman-mighty con-
stderate. / don't know another wom-
an who would do what she did to-
day"
What did she do today?" asked
ummerson, who had his own opinions
as to the lady's good points.
Why, when this perfect deluge OF
a rain started in this afternoon she
remembered that the last time she
was here at our meeting of the Brown
ing club she had borrowed our UNI
brella,' said Mrs. Immersion enthu-
siasically, and, without hesitating a
minute, she put on her hat and water
proof coat and came all the way over
here in that raging storm to return

full of her. Don't your

Il guess we've all done her an in
justice" said Mrs. Immersion, but
hereafter l shall know better l don't
think I should have ventured out on
a day like this in such an errand."
We'll, I'm mighty glad she did it"
said Immersion. Mighty glad. I've
got to go back to the store for a little
while this evening, and that humber
shoot will come in handy"
Mrs. Jimmerson's face flushed. and
she coughed in an embarrassed way.
Why, Tom. I'm sorry, but you can't
have it, dear" she said.
Why not?" demanded Immersion.

Mr.. Post was subjected to a long
and gruelling examination as to his
and Mr.. Havemeyer's connection with
the formation of the National com

committee complained that whenever
the committee had gotten down to
something witnesses frequently
threw it off onto Havemeyer'
His memory has been traduced by
men who would not have dared to have
done so had he been alive" said Mr.
Post, his eyes flashing.
The defense was made after the wit

GUT BY ASSEMBLY
REDUCES APPROPRIATION FOX
THE PURCHASE OF LANDS
BY SI,75o,ooo.
NoRTHERNERs HELP IN TRIM
Charge Made That ConserVauonists
Would Fall Prey to Timber 6arons
in Taking Up Lands, Much 6eing
Declared Worthless.

Madison. assembly chopped
s1,750,00O from the proposed So
100000 appropriation to the state
forestry board for purchase OF lands
for reforestation. The bill, IN Its
present form, provides for an annual
appropriation of $4,000 each year
for five years. AS it left the senate
it provided for an annual appropria-
ton of 100000 for ten years. In
the fight against the large approprIa-
ton, representatives of the northern
districts were prominent, practically
all of them taking the floor IN sup
port of the trimming operation.
Assemblyman Spoor of Green Lake
county offered an amendment subst1-
tuting $4,000 for 100000 in the
clause appropriating money for the
purchase of forest reserve lands. AS
semblymen O'Day, Ellingson, Hull,
Kneen and Kay and Speaker c. A.
Ingram Joined in support of this
amendment Their arguments CEN
tered chiefly upon the quality of the
land which the state already has
purchased for forest reserve pur-
poses. Speaker Ingram said that the
whole proposition of forest reserva-
ton offers an unexcelled opportunity
to the lumber companies in the
northern counties to unload their
valueIess land upon the state. The
amendment was adopted, 81 to 10.
Assemblyman Roycraft'ss amend
ment increasing the appropriation
from $4,000 to 100000 was voted
down. AssembIyman Stevens amend
ment limiting the annual appropria
ton to five years instead of ten was
then adopted after Mr.. Stevens had
tried in vain to withdraw it.
Assemblyman Kay sought to Sc
cure the adoption of an amendment,
limiting to 81 the price that could
be paid by the state for an acre of
forest land. This was rejected, it
being argued that the board should
be free to purchase the best possible.
land
Assemblyman Hull moved to kill
the whole bill but his motion failed
40 to % and the bill was sent to en-
grossment.
