at most $16.08 for each child. The
collection of payments will be made
in connection with taxes, revenue and
extra payments for parish outlays.
Employers have the right but are not
bound to keep back the payments
from the salaries of the workmen.
The cost to the state and parishes
under the actual conditions of living
when the insurance has been made
law is calculated at a little more than
$S,040,000 a year, corresponding to
about 81 per cent of the whole OF the
yearly amount of the pensions, OF
which about 80 per cent shall be COW
cred by the payments of those insured.
Those EMIT to pensions should then
be about g. 5000 persons.

There was a hot election in Copen-
hagen last month owing to the fact
that the Socialists attempted to get
full control of the city government
and on the other hand the firm reso-
luton on the part of the opposition to
prevent this. Prior to the recent cleo
ton the Socialists lacked only one OF
majority in the city council and they
fought desperately to overcome this
slight obstacle. But while they showed
great strength they fell short of the
goal and will have only twenty-seven
councilmen as against twenty-eight
members of other, parties. The So
cialist candidates received 55,181
votes, the Conservative 1875, the
Radical Left candidates 1908, the
Christian Women's candidates 1857
and the Independent Right candidates
1872.

WOMAN MAYOR IN OREGON
HAS MADE GOOD RECORD

Those scoffers who thought Miss
Clara Cynthea Munson would regret
her election as mayor of this town
are disappointed lot. Miss Munson
has the distinction of being the only
wonder she is not much in favor of
woman suffrage, says a Warrentown
Ore, dispatch in the New York Sun
"Now that women have vote,'
she said, 81 believe they should take
an active interest in political affairs
and show they are able to make good
use of the ballot The citizens here
were dissatisfied with the administra-
ton we have been having, and some
one said, Il believe Miss Munson would
make a good mayor l took it, as |
supposed it was meant, as a good joke.
"Others took the suggestion seri-
ously. A caucus was held and my
name and one other, Mr.. Diedrich,
were placed in nomination for the
office of mayor. My opponent did not
prove to be much of a runner. In
any event, l got most of the vote.
A non-partisan citizens ticket was
put up, headed by myself for mayor.

zone of the problems | have had to

loon here. The question of reissuing

thought the thing out carefully and
decided that as long as the govern
ment and the saloon man were in
partnership it was not fair to punish
the weak partner-the saloon man.
"As long as you and / and the
others who constitute the government
tell the saloon man that he may pay
a certain sum of money to carry on
his business, all that we can do is to
see that he does not transgress the
laws. The real solution of the prob
lem is for the government not to be-
come the silent partner of the liquor
men.
81 spent all of my girlhood and
young womanhood in a light house.
My father was thrown very much into
the society of his own family and so
discussed political questions with us
when the ordinary man would go down
to the corner grocery and sit on a
cracker barrel or a dry goods box and
discuss politics with his cronies. I
rode and hunted and swan and talked
politics with my father almost as if I
were boy"

THAT GARDEN OF YOURS.

English gardeners pay $25 a hun
dred for live toads. A college pro-
fessor has estimated that every time
. boy kills a toad he virtually de-
stroys $50 worth of crops. Toads,
garter snakes, lady bugs, and song
birds are little assistant gardeners
whose services are not fully appreci-
ated. They ask only living and in
return destroy great numbers Of in
furious pests.
Not being at all fussy about his
meals the toad will devour flies, cat
erpillars, spiders and hornets with
equal gusto and the amount Of living
meat which he is able to dispose Of
In the course of day is marvellous.
That is the reason he is SO valuable
in the garden; he makes way with
thousands Of pests that feed on the
vegetables, the flowers and the field
crops.
The toad's tonge is fastened at ths
front Of his mouth, curiously enough,
and can be thrown out like a spring,
with wonderful celebrity. On the end

THE VAST FORESTS OF SIBERIA
SAID TO BE LARGEST IN WORLD

There is an immense and continu-
Gus tract of forest lying north of the
St. Lawrence river, in the provinces
of Quebec cand Ontario, extending
northward to Hudson bay and Labra-
dor, a region measuring about 1,700
miles in length from east to west
and 1000 miles in width north and
north.
By some it is held that a much
larger continuous area of timber land
exists in the state of Washington and
northward through British Columbia
and Alaska. But this contention is
limited to North America, for, it has
been pointed out, there lies forest
in the valley of the Amazon, eastern
Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador. Colombia and
Guiana region at least 3,1OO miles in
length by 1000 miles in breadth.
Then, too, there must be considered
the forest area of central Africa, in
the valley of the Congo, including the
headwaters of the Nile to the north
east and those of the Zambesi on the
south. According to reliable estimates
central Africa contains a forest region
not less than 5000 miles in length
from north to south and of vast, al
though not fully known width from
east to west
The nuestion which continent pos
sesses the greatest forest has been
placed in another light by an explorer.
This authority has painted vivid
picture of the vast pine, larch and
cedar forests of Siberia.
Siberia from the plain of the Obi
river OIL the west to the valley of the
Indichirka on the east, embracing
the great plains or river valleys of
the Yenesei, Olenek, Lena and Yana
rivers, is one great timber belt, av-
eraging more than 1000 miles in
breadth from north to south, being
fully ZOO miles wide in the Yenesei
district, and having a length from
east to west of not less than 5000
miles.
Unlike equatorial forests the trees
of the Siberian talgas are mainly con-
ifers, comprising pines of several va
rieties, frs and larches. In the Yene-
sci, Lena and Olenek regions there are
thousands of square miles where no
human being has ever been. The long
stemmed conifers rise to height of
$50 feet or more, and they stand so
closely together that walking among
them is extremely difficult.
The dense, lofty tops exclude the
pale Arctic sunshine, and the straight
pole trunks, all looking exactly alike,
so bewilder the eye in the obscurity
that all sense of direction is soon lost
Even the most experienced trappers
of sable furs dare not venture in the
dense talgas without taking the pre-
caution of "blazing" the trees con-
stantly with hatchets as they walk
forward. If lost there the hunter
rarely finds his way out, but perishes
miserably from starvation or cold
The natives avoid the talgas and have
name for them which signifies
"places where the mind is lost"

Clark states that he had written
for newspapers more or less all his
life, but he received his first pay
for newspaper writing after the panic
of 1898, when his entire fortune was
swept away and he was deeply in debt.
For nearly ten years he wrote a
weekly article for press syndicate,
but discontinued that because of his
increasing labors in congress as mi
nority leader of the house.
Emphatically the speaker asserted
that under no conditions had he ever,
