KING GEORGES MAIL BAG

leather basket labeled with the tenor of the
epstle.8
Thus invitations to undertake public func-
lions Of one description another go into
one basket, charitable appeals into another,
the official report Of the proceedings of the
two houses of parliament into smaller bas'
ket, letters Of personal character into
fourth, and so on. At the finish there Is
small but highly important little pile left.
This is composed OF letters from the rulers OF
other states, personal reports from our ambas-
sailors abroad or communications from min
listers at home These never for one instant
leave the custody of whoever is intrusted with
the task Of opening them There Is a special
box standing on the table with slit in the
ton of it wide enough to take any paper. 1t is
fastened with patent lock, of which only the
king, Lord Knollys and Lord Stamfordham
have the keys.
These are the first letters that are pre-
scented to the king every morning, together
with memorandum reminding him Of the
duties he has to perform that day. In many
cases the king elects to write letters in reply
with his own hand but should this not be
convenient he sends for one Of his secretaries
and dictates his reply. His majesty is by no
means a quick thinker and likes to ponder
over every word that he proposes to place on
paper. In this respect he presents curious
contrast to his late father, who would reply to
the most important letter in few seconds.

All letters addressed to the king and queen
of England are sent direct to whichever OF the
royal residences they are occupying from the
general postofice In London In specially
sealed bags, says the Strand. In the case OF
Buckingham palace, this bag arrives, as
rule just as his majesty is finishing dinner.
and is taken charge OF by the secretary on
duty, who opens it and proceeds to sort out
the contents. Such letters as will ultimately
demand the personal attention Of King George
are placed before him the same night. but
it is not often that he deals with them at the
moment, save In matters that will not brook
delay He chances through them, makes
few brief notes upon them, and they are then
placed under lock and key until he Ii ready
for them on the following morning.
He has barely had time to deal with these
before the royal breakfast is served and al
most simultaneously an even larger bag OF
correspondence arrives. Only those who have
been called upon to handle them can realize
the yastness OF the royal postbags, the con-
tents of which often range from private
communication from some amiable lunatic
who considers that his claim to the British
throne is SUPERIOR to that Of King George. By
the organization of we'll nigh perfect sys-
tenn however this heavy correspondence is
dealt with in remarkably quick time. Lord
Stamfordham should he De on duty, opens
every communication, and, gianclns at IT,
places Che bugs of it in the large crimson

A common method of dealing with
greaser laborers in the new state OF
New Mexico is to have them work on
shares. A somewhat original applica-
ton Of the system is told on a we'll

acre ranch corporations.
A certain Mexican had been ac-
costing the manager several times
and asking for q job.

seeds When sure that the reproduction
has been acquired, proceed with the secon-
Diary gut, taking but one tree in two to
three, more Or less, depending upon whether
spring frosts are to be feared. A secondary
cut may be necessary in the Judgment Of the
forester, two years later before proceeding
with the final cut. Clearance of the seedlings
is almost always necessary as the young oak
is slow and apt to be beaten out by young
Deeches and naples during the first few years
OF its infancy. Thinning: Up to the age Of
low thickets the stand can be left very dense
but from that time ON proceed drastically in
favor of the dominant trees, intervening when
you see culture necessary to aid them, and In
general leaving enough of the dominated and
suppressed trees to protect the trunks of your
dominants-the trees of the future. Return in
ten years, or earlier if conditions are favora-
Bile, and take out all dead and dominated trees
and all of the dominants that are getting
crooked or being left behind the rule being to
keep the tops of your best trees always with
a little space to meet in, which space is filled
with second stage dominated trees. Leave in
the beech sub-growth and any other tolerant
trees which add 1eaf-fall to the humus. The
trees will reach eight inches diameter in thirty
years and you will thin about one hundred per
acre every trip From that time On they add
great deal more to their volume every year.
since they grow new ring all around the
trunk, which by this time is over two feet in
circumference OF course, as you will start
with forest with some grown trees on se,
you will arrange IL so as to always have some
mature cutting to do, as well as thinning cuts
on all other sections. The management OF a
forest Is always paying proposition. so long
as you choose to keep at it, and while you will
never see the final crops cut of the sections
that you regenerated, you have had q good
deal of business out OF the old forest and the
thinning cuts of the new, and your forest or

reason why you should not set it out in

suitable for the soil and climate. Keep cattle
