of the game In days when timber was plentiful the landowners were not so par ticular, and it was not uncommon for a hunting party to chop down half dozen fine trees in a single night. The hunting party that would commit such a trespass nowadays probably would find itself in serious trouble with the courts. For trees such as the coon hunters used to cut now have a big market value. They are grow ing scarcer all the time and the wise landowner is realizing the necessity of husbanding his resources in the timber line. s4.st
 Tn the good old days an incalculable amount of good timber was destroyed in this way. Tt was not missed at the time. for trees grew almost everywhere, and lumber was not so much of ah item as it is at present The forests had to go in order to blaze the way for agricultural

Mrs. Fisher, IrOnmistress

 Tired of reading success stories, about men?
 Well, here's one of a woman.
 Wu Ting Fang, the ex-Chinese minister has called her ''the most wonderful woman in America
 The woman referred to is Mrs Clark Fisher, head of an iron works at Trenton N. J.
 From childhood Mrs. Fisher loved ma- chinery, but it was her husbands illness and' the womanly desire to help out that led sher 10 enter the machine works, of which Mir. Fisher was the head.
 "I went in as boss" she says.
 But I soon learned that if was to he respected by the employees I would have to know more than they did.'' Therefore she began as a regular appren- tice. She lea arned how to temper steel, to ehisel the face of an anvil, mold vises and make rails."f
 She learned the business from melting pig iron up to bidding for big contracts And before she was through she "learned to love the work with iron and steel, the whlr of the machinery and the sound of the forge"
 In l902 Mir Fisher was killed in a rail- road accident
 A few days after the funeral Mrs. Fisher went back to the iron works. dolned her loose working blouse and started to straighten out a tangle of af- ialrs that would have appalled, most men.
 There was a strike on e

Fred Geis. Capitalist

 Is American another name for oppor- tunity?
 Freddie Geis of Des Moines. Ia., aged IS. newsboy and capitalist, says it is and has proved it.
 He started ten years ago selling news papers. Two years ago he bought home costing 5000 for his people and has a thousand or two in bank.
 Fred's father deserted the family-a sick wife. an old grandmother and two chil- dren.
 That is why he started out at o'clock on a cold morning ten years ago to sell newspapers. His cash capital was cents. Four. cents-plusi
 Today he has d regular stand with news papers. and magazines. For a long time his stock in trade was contained in a canvas bag. He pre-empted a street cor ner and had to fight to hold it.
 Fred is 'Irish--and won.
 Young Geis is contemplating and employs tact and politeness. He is alert to get the attention of his customers and knows by name thousands of persons. When he cries out. Paper, ladyl' his hand invari- ably goes to his cap.
 Behind Fred Geis is a staunch old grand mother.
 The mother is an invalid, but the grand mother is a forceful character The young man loves his mother. but he banks on 
 his grandmother. and they do some great team work
 The old woman is thrifty.
 When the deed to the home was turned oyer to the family the purchaser carried away 5000 in small coins--a satchelful of savings Grandma has her doubts about banks. Fred does not share in her be- lief in this respect.
 Opportunity?
 Why. Freddie Geis saw her on the streets. peering around the corner ac- tually flirting with him
 He merely opened his eyes

Loss of Power

A large percentage of the energy that is in coal is lost. It goes up the chimney in smoke. Much of the working power of ma- chinery is lost by friction or by trans mission
 The same is true of humans.
 Man as designed is a perfect machine but because of loss of energy or friction or transmission much of his power is wasted
 one writer calls human being an en- zine which is a fine figure Do you sup pose the engineer of a locomotive would treat his engine as some of us treat our selves? If he knows his business the en- gineer will
 Keep his engine clean.

 He will use nothing but water to gem crate steanl-purc water, which will not

 Before he starts his engine he will look carefully over the working parts to be sure everything is in good order.
 He will start on time and if possible keep on time. so as to arrive at the ter minal on schedule.
 Now. do we run our engines-ourselve. that way?
 Do We keep mind and body strictly clean? Do we use just enough and not too much food fuel? Do we use only Wa ter to get up the necessary steam?
 And
 Do we go carefully over our human ma chimes before each days run to determine their capacity to do the work, or are We too busy?'
 And are the working parts of our men tai and physical engines in such shape that We can keep them going from to 5 as from to F? Do we do the last part Of the days run as easily as the first?
 Are you losing power?
 Something is wrong. Illness aside. YOU should work up to your full capacity whether it is a ten horse power or a hun- dred. And you can do so if
 If you will cut out unnecessary friction and waste of energy, if you will keen your engines clean and workable, if you will take as good care of yourself as the average engineer does of his engine.

 It is well that the farmers of southern Indiana and the farmers elsewhere are beginning to take notice of the conserya- tion movement If the coon hunter must needs chase coons let him catch them on the level or climb the tree for his booty.

Conservation Is Proving Unpopular to Those Who Delight in This Sport

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 Coon hunting is on the decline over in southern Indiana, according to a report from Owensville, because the farmers and land owners have become timber conser- vationists and refuse to allow their trees to be cut.
 It used to be that a coon hunt was not success unless the coon was treed in a monarch of the forest, the tree subse- quently being cut down by the ready

When the Boy Comes Home

WHERE'S something doing when the
 boy comes home.
 | It gets so quiet in the house when the children are all gone. After 30 years of living together father and mother are where they were when they began to- gether-just the two of them.
 About once a month the boy comes home.
 He slams the door. drops his grip, grabs the little mother and shouts, Hello, dad:h which makes quite d difference-when the boy comes home.
 There's a lot to tell.
 Mostly the boy talks to his mother talks about everything and sometimes about the best girl he wants to marry some fine future day-and he talks to la ther mostly about business-when the boy comes home.
 He is a big boy now.
 He throws his hat in a corner and scat ters the newspapers over the floor just as he did when he was a knee breeched kid. And mother doesn't scold quite so strongly as che sed to--when the boy comes home.
 " comes Saturday evening and
 ar Sunday.
 @ Sunday dinneri The kind that
 makes of fried chicken, with
 ! gravy and the fixins the boy
 . is the kind that mother used n And father piles the plate .Ea Il and then some-when the boy comes hume.
 When the boy goes away?
 Why, mother sets the old alarm clock . Sunday night two hours ahead of the boys Monday morning train. And the two of them slip quietly down, mother to the kitchen and father to stir up the fire and set the table and carry in the grub, and
 They let the boy sleep till the very last minute.
 And then father shouts up the stair way, "Yoho, breakfasts ready!' And mother hustles to get some red apples Into the boys valise. And as she pours the coffee she reminds the boy again about that heavy underwear should the weather turn colder. and
 But that's another story.
 There's something doing when the boy comes home-and then it's mighty quiet.

Sleep

Get plenty of sleep
 If you get on the average much less than eight hours sleep in 24 you do not get enough for good health and long life.
 Napoleon affirmed that six hours sleep was sufficient. Often he got only four hours in the A, snatched at such times as he could get chance.
 Napoleon died at 52.
 Moreover, some historians say he lost the battle of Waterloo because of loss of sleep.
 On the other hand, Victor Hugo lived to be S3. He permitted nothing to deprive him of his eight hours and invariably took a short nap at noon.
 Hon. C. C. Cole of Des Moines, Ia., ex- justice of the state supreme court and practicing law at S4, says the secret of his vitality and longevity is the nap he has taken for years in the middle of the day.
 Balzac. the novelist, robbed himself of sleep in order to write He died, phy- sical wreck, at 51
 George Washington believed in plenty of sleep. Invariably he withdrew from company at 10 o'clock, some member of the family coming in to say:
 Ladies and gentlemen, the general bids you all very good night
 Early hardships and experiences like those of Valley Forge shortened his life. Yet he lived to be 67 and died of an acute attack.
 We are like clocks.
 We must be thoroughly wound up every "A hours. There are no human eight day clocks.
 Shakespeare tels us that sleep "knits up the raveled sleeve of care" and it is natures surest restorer.
 One may not burn the candle of life at both ends. One cannot filch from nature Physicians say that loss of sleep is often the source of ills attributed to other causes.
 Poor Richard was right when he said. Early to bed and early to rise Makes man healthy, wealthy and wise.
 Victor Hugo puts the same truth in a couplet which, being translated, reads:
 Dinner at six, bed at ten fife tO last ten tirnae tap
