Il WAS THE FLAIL
OF THE LORD"

" the instrument OF Dir arthur NOnan
Doy1e's great novel of adventure, THE
LOST WORLD. in this issue, you are in
PRODUCED to Sir John Roxton. In our next
number you come to know him, which
means much more While he is utterly un-
like the splendid little chivalric hero of
"The White Company and that other
Nigel, he has some of the qualities that
made them SO distinguished and SO lovable.
Sir John Roxton is intensely modern; but
in spirit he is a knight Grant, for all that.
He is one of the most individual, most i'm
pressive, most delightful characters in
fiction, and one of the quaintest, the
test to which he puts Moran, his narrative
of his own experiences in the Amazon coun-
try, the evidence of his supreme courage,
his high ideals, his love of justice. As he
says Of himself in checking horrible bar
barism, Il was the fail of the Lord You
will feel, as Moran does, that you would be
glad to follow Sir John Roxton anywhere.
All through the tale, even in the most ex-
citing moments, you will smile joyously
when you hear his young fellame-lad,
as he always addresses Moran. This next
instalment is one of the finest chapters of
the story.
The novel is SO extraordinary that you
can begin it in each instalment, with the
certainty that you will finish it; but your
interest will not be comparable with that
of those who have read it from the very
beginning. Simply because the first chap
tiers are so admirable, you need not fear
that they make up the best part of the
story. There have been adventure tales
like that, you know. Interest in THE
LOST WORLD is steadily cumulative;
but you would have difficulty in accepting
the overwhelming wonders that are to fol-
low if it were not for Sir Arthur Conan
Doy1e's skilful preparation for them
WHILE the great serial, of course, DOM
mates our SUNDAY NJ AGAZINE these
days, as it would any publication, the
other features keep up the standard set
long ago. You will remember the joyous
story in which Wallace Irwin introduced
to us the old, one-eyed Chinese servant,
All Lee, who in the previous story had such
an amazing experience with modern prog
ress. The ancient Celestial is hero of an
other tale in our next number, in which his
efforts to adjust his oriental convictions to
occidental conditions come near to ending
disastrously. 1t is certainly true that All
LEE BUNG BUNGLES. Mr.. Irwin pre-
sents "the heather Chinee" in light that
is not familiar to most of us He is con-
sistently heather, and he certainly is
Chinaman but also he is human and LOYAL
in a very lovable way. And there is
whole lot Of humor in him, and not all of it
is unconscious. You know we are very
strong for real humor.
HUMOR naturally suggests Torchy.
who is about the most popular youth
going these days Certainly he has the
reddest hair and the greatest capacity for
pure impudence. But he is also the kindli-
est, most loyal, and shrewdest boy that
ever appeared in fiction. A LATE SCORE

High School Parade at Harpers Ferry.

On Monday, March 4th, the Contrac-
tor, Mr. F. D. Trump, of Kearneys-
vile, broke ground for the new $33 900
High School Building. At 1890 a. M,
a parade was organized with about
seven hundred people and children of
the Harpers Ferry School District, on
horse back and in wagons and carriages.
Two gross of small u. S. flags and
about the same number. of horns were
distributed to the school children and
no noiser or happier set of children ever
lived. Hon. Eugene Shugert, as Chief
Marshal, led the possession on horse
back, with Bernard Miles, Leo O,Biern,
Charles T. Smith, Thomas Beale, Col.
Geo. w. Graham, of Governor Glass
cocks Staff, and about twenty other
aides, followed by the Harpers Ferry
and Charles Town bands. The march
was through Harpers Ferry and Bolivar
and back to the Opera House were a
meeting for the Harpers Ferry School
District had been called. Col Graham
called the meeting to order, and read a
letter from Hon. w. P. Shawkey, Supt.
Of Free Schools Of West Virginia, con-
graduating the people of Harpers Ferry
District on their successful work in
secaring SO fine building, and wishing
God-speed in their efforts for a higher
education. He also said a few well
chosen words of praise to the last Board
of Education and the present one. Also
to the late Capt. Richard Henderson
and Lewis Castle, Presidents of Boards
of Education for the Harpers Ferry
District while the pioneer work was
being done "a and Ia years ago respec-
lively. Then on motion, ex-Mayor Hon
Eugene Shugert, was declared Chair
man of the meeting. Prayer was then
offered by the Rev. MIR. Nicholson, fol-
lowed with selection by the Harpers
Ferry and Charles Town Bands, then
the children sang America and short
addresses were made by Reverends
Rodgers, Lynch, Nicholson and Cump-
ston, and DIR. Walter Dittmyer, the
Chairman and Mr.. Childs, who was one
of the hard workers as President of the
School Board that submitted the

pers Ferry District are very proud of
their proposed new building.

Plant Trees.

If in rs years the present supply of
timber in this country will be exhaust
ed at the present rate of consumption,
the admonition to plant trees becomes
eloquent with meaning There is great
value in trees, says the Kansas City
Times. The big lumber fortunes have.
been made in the main, not in buying
and selling lumber, nor even in manu-
featuring lumber for sale, but in buy
ing vast tracts of timber land and hold
ing them for the inevitable advances in
timber prices incident to the rapidly
decreasing supply. Now, it would not
profit any man or corporation to buy
large areas of land chat could be profit
ably used for agriculture, fruit grow
ing or grazing, and set them in trees;
but it would be profitable for all who
own timber lands that could not be
protitably used for other purposes, to
maintain them as permanent forests,
using only the matured trees and cut
ting them and clearing the slash in such
a way as to give the best possible pro.
lection to the immature timber. Also,
it would be profitable to every owner of
land to plant trees on any part of it
that cannot be utilized for other pur-
poses. IF this great nation could in
spire its landholders with this one pur-
pose for given time, to the end that
all land that should be planted with
trees would be SO planted, the problem
of the future lumber supply would be
solved. Western Democrat
