One Of the pleasant social affairs
of tho week was the Valentine social
given by the young people Of the
Christian Endeayor society of the
Christian church last evening at the
home Of Miss Bertha Burkhalter on

Planned by The social committee Of

huge success in every way. The
rooms We're elaburately decorated in
honor Of the Valentine season.
Strings of red hearts We're festooned
throughout the double parlor and
draperies of the same were hung in
the archway between the two rooms.
The curtains were also bordered with
the pretty red hearts and the entire
illumination was given by candles
with pretty red shades. The words

in the read hearts on white back
ground in the front room and there
were other details, which made the
whole affair one Of the prcttiest of

The evening was spent with sew

an impromptu musical program. A

pered in developing their resources
in either timber, water power or
coal. None of them suffered the un-
heard of calamity of having 33 per
cent of their territory Withdrawn as
has Colorado. and. had this policy
been attempted in the early history
of our country, the government
would have had a good-sized rebel
lion on its hands. The east and the
south would have fought for their
rights.
OF the few commendeble things
President Taft has done, the one
thing which the west should ever
remain grateful was kicking Pinchot
out of the job of chief forester; and
1t is to be sincerely hoped that he
Will have no more Influence in shap-
ing future legislation or any follow
crs in the state affected by his So
called conservation policy.
But Pinchot is re.ourceful, rich

That letter has the same old ring
of truth and plausibility. as did his
writings and speeches when he ran
press bureau TO inflame the nation
on the conservation question in or
der to secure the withdrawal Of pub
lie lands SO that they could ali be
placed under his control The ma
tion was frightened He told them
cur timber would be exhausted in
20 years and our coal i'm 80 years
Whereas the present forester asserts
that our timber is growing faster
than IL is being consumed and il
has been clearly shown that Colorado
mas enough coal to supply the Unit
ed States for 800 years.
But Pinchot succeeded by means
of his press bureau and the dissent
ination Of misleading information in
getting a vast empire withdrawn,
over which he reigned with despotic
sway, deiying the people and ignor-
ing the law.
The amount of land withdrawn
from entry was in area equal TO all
of the New England states, New
York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, both Virginias,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky,
ana into thaI vast territory-all in
the west-he poured his foresters,
timber agents, riders, spies and
sleuths, and from that vast domain
they proceeded to drive the miner,
homesteader and the land-huugry,
collecting pasturage from the COW
men and selling timber at market
price" curtailing the production of
lumber and letting the lumber trtNt
fix the prices.
He says: 'Four-fifths of the stand
ing timber in the United States is in
private hands. II this statement is
as true as those he made about the
exhaustion of our timber and coal,
we need pay no attention to it. But,
suppose it is true-he. by his policy
OF. seizing all the remaining timber,
has enabled those who control the
timber to hold up the public. In
other words, while chief forester, he
played into the hands of the trust,
and he knows IL.
From the western states he has
taken millions Of dollars and, gener-
ously handed us back % per cent of
it. taking from us 81 and handing
back 81; and the policy which he
iEaugurated has driven to Canada
more than 400, 200 Americans.
His statement about how the west
ern states squandered the land al
ready granted to them is falsehood
ard a gratuitous insult to the people
Of the west. 1t was the nation which
granted the Union Pacific and North
ern Pacific such great areas of land,
emu not the states.
The states are closer to the people
They know their wants. They wish
to develop their resourccs. They de-
sire settlers. They can handle the
forest question more economically
and more efficiently than some auto
crat in Washington.
our state probably has made as
many mistakes in handling her land
Us any state in the union: but an
examination through series OF
years will show to an unpreiudiced
person that We have handled our
state lands better than any federal
agent could possibly have done.
The western states are entitled to

ders. That would be exact Justice.

Choose Your READING Carefully.

Don't trust your reading to some
thing that you can pick up. Have a
book Of good writing that deals with
real topics of knowledge and wisdom.
1t should be a family law that only
the instructive and uplifting things
should be read in the home. Reading
goes directly into a persons life, max
ing him what it is-empty, frivolous,
witless or vain. OF course, one must
have some lightness and humor but
these should be the exception. There
is nothing that so weakens the mind
as this continual joking the everlast-
ing laugh over trivial things. The
true rule is to mediate upon what
one has read, but what sort of medita-
ton will one get out of lot of jokes?
Reading that doesn't inspire thought

If one would lounge about on the

Women Climb for a Hat.

At the annual reunion Of the Welker
family, held at the family homestead,
near Sharpsburg, Pa, a tree-climbing
contest was held among the female
descendants of the family.
The prize that spurred the women
on to grand efforts was a new fall hat,
one of the latest creations in millinery
and valued at $25. The winner turned
up in Mrs. Meta WelkeT, who weighs
more than 300 pounds.
After several contestants had tried
for the dainty piece of millinery, which
was placed on al upper limb of a big
oak, and failed, Mrs. Welker, who was
a great climber at one time, essayed
to take a chance
Carefully working her way up foot
by foot, the big woman, who outweigh
ed the other contestants two to one,
finally reached the hat and brought 1t
down. She was winded and nearly
done up, but she held on to the hat.

BIBLE NAMES DROPPED
LATELY SEEM TO BE OUT OF FA.
VOR WITH PARENT.
Such Puritanic "HandIss" as Ebenezer
and Zadok, for Instance, Do Not
Seem TO Appeal as They
Once Did.

A certain set of Christian names
taken from the Scriptures have been
used so long that we do not think of
them as Bible names. Among them are
Adam, Moses, Samuel, David, Daniel,
Solomon, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
Others taken from the saints, like Pc
ter, John, Stephen and Matthew, orig
inally given to children because they
were born on the saints day, are still
so common that We think of them as
English names.
These names antedate the use Of
surnames, as may be inferred from
the fact that nearly all of them have
given rise to patronymics, like ia
cObsOn, Peterson and Stevenson. In
the twelfth century missionaries sent
out by the authorities used to bap-
tie whole villages at once, and to
save time invested all the men with
the name Of John or some other saint.
and the women usually Mary or Mar
tina. To distinguish the Johns some
additional name like Short or Strong
of White or Black was given him by
the Heighbors, and so Christian names
and surnames were united.
After the reformation it became the
fashion among the Puritans to give
children the names of characters like
the Old Testament, and odd ones like
MeIchisidek or Barzillai were pre-
ferred. Among these were Abel, Levi,
Jesse, Amos, Asa, Isaiah Ephraim, Gid
con, Malachi, Abner, Hosea, Ezekiel,
jeremiah, Zachariah, Asher, Eli, and
hundreds of others.
For some reason the use of these
names has largely ceased. We can I'M
derstand why Ebenezer has been
dropped, though once one of the most
common of names in New England,
for it is decidedly unmelodious. No
modern girl could fall in love with an
Ebenezer. But most Of the Puritan
Bible names have a strong, manly ring,
and have been borne by able men.
That they are going out of use is very
evident from comparing the early
class lists of Yale with later ones.
Twenty-Five classes in the early eight
zenith century, numbering 375 gradu-
ates, show 119, with Puritan given
names. This is about 80 per cent.
Ten classes in the twentieth century,
numbering 3,037, show but % given
names of this class, or less than one
per cent. Ebenezer and Barzillai have
completely disappeared Nor is Pele-
tiah or ZadOk to be found
We can only hope that the descend
ants of these ancient worthless have
inherited some of their sterling quail
ties, though they do not perpetuate

Bibulcus Judqe,

Justice Darling suggests that the
saying, "As sober as judge" origi-
mated from the fact that 100 years or
so back judges were the only sober
people in the country. North of the
Tweed, where the saying is also cur
rent, judges were certainly not con-
spicuous for sobriety. Andrew Lang
relates that "a great Scottish judge
was once compelled to abstain from
alcohol for six weeks. He then discov-
cred that for 80 years of learned and
respected and valuable career he had
never been for one hour really sober
He had his morning when he rose,
his IL hours at noon. On the bench
he and the other judges solemnly and
dutifully absorbed their bottle (say a
bottle and Scots pint of port. Then
he dined and sat over the claret till
he titubated to bed. Then he rose,
had no tub, and had his morning glass
of whisky or brandy, and so on"

Sometimes you want to screen a
room of this kind either with glass or

much better than a porch or veranda

Where you have both a large living

Posy RINGS.

Somewhere back in the sixteenth
century the posy and motto rings
came into vogue. 1t is said that the
famous ring which Essex sent to Good
Queen Bess by the countess of Not
tingham, and which the woman did
not deliver, was posy ring.
Lovers as well as friends all over
Europe exchanged these rings. Some
of the notices on the old rings are
very quaint indeed. Here are a few:
In thee, my choice, do rejoice"
May God above increase our love"
Not two, but one til life is done.

You can put as much expense on
the building as you want to, or you
can build it almost as cheap as any
other house of the same size by using
cheaper materials. Sometimes a house
cheaply built and well painted looks
better than more expensive house
that has been neglected in the final
finish. There are many such things to
consider when building.
