Her Unfortunate Error.

A literary lady at society dinner
was given a seat next to a noted
scientist whose views were very ma
terialistic. and at some remark he
made on the origin Of mankind, the
lady found her temper tried beyond
all bearing. so that she retorted: 81
really don't care what you say. be-
lieve in the Bible. and there We are
told that Adam was the father Of all
living"
81 really think you are mistaken"
he said with a smile. and SO the sub
ject dropped.
A few days later the lady, writing
to a bosom friend, told her OF the oo-
currence and added: Il am too morti-
fed. for have looked the matter up
and 1t only says that Eve was the
mother of all living, and SO I don't
know whether to write to the profess

SETTLERS SAY ALL TIMBER IN
RESERVES is BEING SOLD
TO SAW-MILLs.
WILL INVESTIGATE
CONGRESS COMPLAINS OF RAPID
LY INCREASING EXPENSE
OF FOREST SERVICE.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington.-Thec curious spectacle
of Colorado citizens appealing to Con-
gress and the secretary of agricul-
ture to stop the forest service from de-
stroying tho timber in that states
forest reserves is just now attracting
attention here.
Protective associations formed by
citizens of the Centennial State have
charged that in some of the Colorado
national forests, notably in the South
Park country, officials of the for
est service are selling to the lumber
companies every tree large enough TO
cut scantling and are themselves
guilty of the very acts of denudatiOn
which the law contemplates they
should prevent.
Complaints of this nature have been
made to both Representatives Taylor
and Rucker, and have been laid before
the secretary of agriculture, corrob-
GRATED by newspaper clippings from
Colorado towns.
The secretary declares that only the
ripe" timber is being sold to the saw
mills. but the settlers declare that ev-
cry tree the mills can use is being
sold.
Secretary Wilson has ordered a
thorough investigation.
1t has been known for the last year
that the forest service has been max
ing every effort to sell timber from
the national reserves, in order to make
as good a showing as possible in the
way of receipts. Congress has CON-
planned at the rapidly-increasing ex-
pense of the forest service admins
tration, and continual requests for
larger amounts have served to recall
the promises of former forester Pin
chot and others that the forest service
would soon become self-supporting
1t is charged that increasing red
tape regulations affecting the sale of
timber leaves very little to be turned
into the national treasury.
In the less heavily timbered regions
of Colorado, it is asserted, the saw
mills cannot afford to operate unless
allowed to cut every tree of any size.
and as a result some Colorado water
sheds have been almost denuded.

WASHINGTON.

The Department of Agriculture's es-
Innate OF the area planted to cotton
this year is 34,O97 900 acres.
The House adopted a resolution ap-
propriating $1,350.000 to provide for
the participating of the regular army
in the encampment and maneuvers of
the organized militia of the several
states.
The House passed the army appro-
priation bill in the same form as last
February before the Senate amend
ments brought it under the veto of
President Taft. The amendments af-
fecting the general staff of the army.
one of which would have legislated its
chief, Major General Leonard Wood,
out of office and the provision for a
commission to decide upon the number
and location of army posts were left
out.
Representative Norris of Nebraska
has introduced bill which he de-
clared would remedy the evils of pres
ldential primaries. The bill provides
for a national convention for each
party the fourth Monday in June in
every "presidential' year. In the con-
vention each states representation
would be based on the party'S
strength in the state. Delegates to
the convention would be elected at
primaries to be held the first Tuesday
in May, the result of the primaries be-
ing certified by state officials to the
secretary of the interior, who would
canvass the votes. Voters would eN-
press a first and second choice for
presidential candidates. and the can
didate having a majority of the first
choice votes, as canvassed by the sec
retary of the interior would become
| the nominee of his party.

S32, 100000 according to estimates

sanguine expectations of Secretary
McVeagh, who months ago estimated
that the surplus would be s10.250.0o0

viii Submit 80 Measures.

Denver.-Thirty-two subjects have
been filed in the office of the secre-
tary of state for submission to the peo-
pie at the next general election un-
der the initiative and referendum. The
Direct Legislation League, which has
several petitions, the state highway
commission and others are to be heard
from.
Five constitutional amendments and
laws were referred to the people by
the Legislature. seven bills passed by
the last Legislature have been referred
to the people by petition, and eighteen
proposed laws and constitutional
amendments have been initiated.
Secretary of State Pearce declares
he will economic in having the meas
ures printed in the newspapers of the
state. There is question whether pub
lication is required in four or five is
sues, the constitution reading that
bills submitted to the people must be
printed for four successive weeks.
Most editors contend that it is i'm
possible to publish for four successive
weeks without having the advertise
ment appear in five issues of weekly
newspaper.
If 1t is held that five publications
are necessary the state must pay 4S
cents an inch additional to every
newspaper used.
Secretary Pearce says he will not
advertise in daily newspapers every
day for four weeks, but will select one
day OF the week and make the publica-
| tion four times.

weeks millions of caterpillars have IT,
vaded the Russell Gulch, Leaven-
worth Gulch and Quartz hill section Ct

been stripped of their foliage. Moth
ing of the kind was ever witnessed
here before. The tramway line,
which hauls ore from the mines was
tied up for hours on account of the
thousands that were crushed under
the wheels. Crews were compelled
to walk ahead CT the trains and show,
sand on the rails so that the drivers
can get n grip on the track. At the

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes It hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants"
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see II you
can put 1t out
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way Of
eating Grape-Nuts. and says:
For about three years l had been
great sufferer from Indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop of
potatoes. then meat, and so on, but In
few days that craving. gnawing feel
ing would start up. and would vomit
everything l ate and drank
When / started on Grape-Nu vom-
iting stopped, and the bloated feeling
which was 30 distressing disappeared
entirely.
My mother was very much bothered
with diarihoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
SO weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
well, and says she don't think she
could do without It.
1T is great brain restorer and
nerve builder. for can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper of
Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I
could not realize what they meant by
a bad stomach There is no medi-
cine so beneficial to nerves and brain
as good nights sleep, such as you
can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts."
