A STRUGGLE WITH A WIFE.
How strindbers's Unhappy Marriage
Colored His Work.


The extremely unhappy married life
of August Strindberg is commented
upon by Clayton Hamilton in the Book
man.
"At the age of twenty-six," he says.
"Strindberg fell in love with the wo-
man who was to exert a deeper In
fiuence upon his work than any other
factor in his life experience. She was
already married, but she obtained d.
yorce and married Suindberg. For
time their welded life was happy, and
the poet in this single sunny period OF
his experience poured forth an amaz-
ing number and variety Of literary
works conceived In the romantic mood.
Rut n little later his marriage began
to be disrupted by dissensions, and the
domestic life became increasingly un-
bearable to both parties as the years
proceeded. Held together by their chill
dren. they endured a life Of torture
until finally, after sixteen years, they
abandoned the hopeless struggle and
were divorced
"This tragic experience has colored
all the later work of Strindberg. He
had begun by conceiving life as war;
and he now discovered in his own case
that love, which is the origin and es-
sence of life, is also war-a year long,
lifelong battle without an interrupt
ing truce Hence he conceived love
as only the diverse of two sided pas
sion, of which the inevitable reverse
is hatred. Other poets have made the
same discovery. Compare. for In
stance, Mr.. Kipling's narrowing lines;
Il ate you, GRIMM there All,
| Gawd, love you so!

waiting for the new arrivals among
our series of 100 local views.
To those who are not acquainted
with these cards, to which we have
been adding new subjects, from time
TO time. we wish 10 explain that they
are works OF art, hand colored pho
tographs, worth framing. and while
pictures of this class cannot ordin
arlly be sold for less than five OF
ten cents each, our price OF practi
cally cents (25c per dozen) is made
possible only because of the i'm
mense number we purchase of them
at one time.
On the back Of each card is a dis
cription of the subject, which adds
very materially to the value thereof
and as they are largely of historic
interest every Benningtonian should
possess a set of them, II he would
post himself on our early history.
We have just received about twenty
new subjects, that are especially in.
teresting, which. when sent to your
friends will not find their way to the

OF TIMBER SOLD

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 19.-Chief
Forester Graves is on his way to San
Francisco to make final arrangements
under which a California lumber COM
pany will purchase 500 million feet
of timber on the Sierra National For
est, The timber has already been
awarded after public advertisement,
to the highest bidder, but under the
terms of the advertisement the final
signing of the contract will not take
place until the company has been
shown on the ground what timber the
government will reserve from cutting
in order to preserve good forest con-
ditions and provide for reproduction.
The company will be allowed its
full 500 million feet but naturally IL
| viii not be allowed to cut clean. AS
( rule, the forest service reserves
something like one-third of the forest
stand in applying forestry on govern
ment holdings. A marking board
made up of one man sent from WASH
| ington, one from the district office
! in San Francisco, and the local forest
( supervisor will carefully mark a
! sample area, to show how the restric-
| tons on cutting will be applied. Rep
( resentatives of the company will then
/ go over this area, after which Chief
| Forester Graves and his assistants
will, it is expected, make final ar
! Francisco. and the contract of sale
| will be signed.
THE Forest Service" said Mr..
! Graves in speaking of this sale, has
received a number of inquiries
whether in selling so much timber to
a single purchaser the government
may not be opening the way to a mo-
nopolistic control Of local lumber
! markets. other correspondents are
disturbed lest the sale prove a bad
bargain for the government through
the rise in value of the timber i'm the
twenty-five years during which the
company will cut.
such large and longtime sales of
national forest timber as that to the
California company are a new devel-
opment in the forest service. Great
bodies of mature but inaccessible tim
Der can be put on the market only If
sale contracts are let on terms which
will justify a very heavy initial in
vestment in transportation facilities.
In entering into such, contracts. how
ever, special safeguards to protect
the public against monopoly and to
prevent an undue speculative profit
to the purchaser are employed
The national forests contain. in
all, the equivalent of nearly 500 bill
lion feet of timber now of merchant
able size, besides young growth for
future harvest. Because of its re-
moteness from market and the wild,
mountainous country. without trans
pOrtatiOn facilities, in which most of
1t lies, only a small percentage can
now be sold on any terms. Most of
it would cost more to get it out than
it would bring. The sale of less than
one-fifth of one per cent of our total
supply to one company leaves plenty
of room for competition by other
| companies

Dr.. A. 6. Hunt Citizen Of Oxford

Some Of eight or nine years ago
DR.. A. G.. Hunt and family left
heir home in Banner, Calhoun
County. and located with the
good people of Tula, Lafayette
County. The purpose Of the
change was to be near a good
school and for the doctor to build
a.practice. The doctor being a
young physician at that time and
from the very beginning of his
work he proved himself worthy in
every respect Of his profession.
The writer has in mind a number
OF cases. especially some OF pneu
monia that looked like recovery
was impossible. that through the
skilled and never firing efforts Of
DIR. Hunt were raised 10 perfect
health. So his practice feels that
it has lost one of its most efficient
physicians.
The village and community of
Tnla feels that il has lost one of
its best citizens and the church
one of It's strongest members. So
in conclusion We would say that
we recommend him II those
among whom he now lives "a a
, p endid physician, a good neigh
TOR and a christian gentleman in
every respect.
