intensively cultivated with reference to
the annual and continuing harvest OF
mature understandable lumber.
When the tract was taken over by the
division OF forestry in 1905. the chairman
az that body declared TO President Eliot
that IL would. that year. earn a certain
gross profit. That promise was more
than fulfilled. Its earnings We're greater
than We're promised. and one-half OF the
gross profit was net profit. The annual
cut OF merchantable logs is now about
100 600 feet board measure. and the an
nual increment in lumber, due to both the
natural growth OF the established trees
and the growth Of natural and planted
seedlings is about 10000 board feet,

Buying Back Captured Flags.
rom the BOSTON Herald,


hear through a New Hampshire friend,
Mayor Bates of Rochester. that two bat
tie flags which were carried by the New
Hampshire troops in the revolution and
captured from them AT Fort Anne Just
TO be returned from England, where they
have been for a century and a third. Ii
is not an instance OF Anglo-American
comfy. but simply another case where
Yankee gold looks good to British eyes
The flags are not held by the government
but by private parties and after their
identity and genuineness We're clearly
established the offer To sell them was
taken advantage of by Edward Truck, a
wealthy son OF New Hampshire Who re-
sides abroad. Mr.. Tuck is well known
as the most generous benefactor OF Dart
mouth. of which he Is a graduate. and az
the giver OF the new building of the New
Hampshire Historical Society. A fund il
now being raised to reimburse Mr.. Tuck.
and il is hoped that the flags will soon
be placed I'm the capitol at Concord. There
are very few revolutionary flags in eN-
istence. and these trophies may well lie
cherished. even though il is bit hu-
initiating to American pride to see them
bought back from the one-time enemy
who captured them on the battlefield.
However, we ought TO be able to stand
that. if the British can swallow their
chagrin at seeing the ancient battle flags
sold for American gold.

bob up from between the ties In the mid

the man. seized him and would have cap

were vanishing in the darkness Abe walk

there he found on crosspiece under the
ties box with a rope protruding from

thirty-nine sticks of dynamite. The rope
was a ten-foot fuse.
And now down the line and out upon the
bridge shone the big electric headlight OF

box in his hands. the train Numbered out
