Correspondence Of The Star.

BERLIN, October 1, 1911.
How a woman's subtlety may some
times overreach itself is illustrated BY
the disastrous failure of a clever littie
ruse which the wife of wealthy
but economically disposed Berlin mer-
chant employed last week.
The lady had set her heart upon becom-
ing the possessor of a bracelet which she
had seen in the window of a jewelers.
shop She found on inquiry that the
price Of the ornament was $50, which
she knew was more than her husband
would pay.
She therefore explained the circum-
stances to the jeweler and suggested to
him the following plan: The lady would
coax her husband into coming to the
shop to ask the cost of the bracelet. the
jeweler was thereupon to ask x75 for 1t
and was to allow the husband, after. con-
siderable bargaining, to beat him down
to $50. At this price the husband was to
be allowed to have the bracelet, and the
wife would afterward make up the diff
ference of 800 with the jeweler out of
her pin money.
The plot worked admirably and the
husband carried off the bracelet for $50
in great glee at the good bargain he had
driven. On the way home he went into
his club and related his success to his
friends. proudly showing them the brace

One Of his companions. recognizing the
real worth of the jewel, at once offered
to give him $75 for it. The German mer-
chant could not resist this second tri-

bracelet to tell his wife with pride how
he had bought it for $50 and sold it for
So. His complacency was turned to nor-
ror when his weeping wife confessed that
there was still 500 to be paid on the
ornament. and that what he had regarded
as a profit of IS was really a dead loss

The Libby herald., 1911-12-07
(By CLIFFORD PINCHOT)

The object of forestry is to discove,
and apply the principles according tc
which forests are best managed. Il
Is distinct from arboriculture, which
deals with individual trees.
Forestry has to do with single
trees only as they stand together on
some large area whose principal crop
Is trees, and which therefore forms
part Of a forest. The forest is the
most highly organized portion of the
vegetable world. 1t takes its i'm
portance less from the individual trees
which help to form it than from the
qualities which belong to it as a
whole.
Although 1t is composed of trees.
the forest is far more than a collec-
tion of trees standing in one place.
1t has a population of animals and
plants peculiar to itself, soil largely
OF its own making, and climate diff
ferent in many ways from that of the
open country. Its influence upon the
streams alone makes farming possible
In many regions, and everywhere 1t
tends to prevent floods and droughts
1t supplies fuel, one of the first nee.
essaries Of life. and lumber, the raw
material, without which cities. rail-
roads, and all the great achievements
of material progress would have been
either long delayed or wholly impos.
sible.
The forest is as beautiful as it is
useful. The old fairy tales which
spoke Of 1t as terrible place are
wrong. No one can really know the
forest without feeling the gentle In.
nuence of one of the kindliest ad
strongest parts Of nature. From everv
point Of view it is one of the most
helpful friends of man. Perhaps no
other natural agent has done so much
for the human race and has been so
recklessly used and SO little under
stood.
One Of the points of deepest inter-
est to the forester is the reproductive
power Of his trees. Except in the
case OF sprouts and other growth fed
by old roots, this depends first of all
on the quantity of the seed which
each tree bears; but SO many other
considerations affect the result that a
