'Girls are some smart" said the
proud father of one of Augustus lit
tie toddlers, yesterday. Now there's
that little daughter of ours--shes got
the notion of going to sleep with a
thumb in her mouth and we are hav-
ing deuce of q time to stop her do
ing it. The other night I tried aloes--
smeared her thumb with the stuff
when she went to bed, but 1t didn't do
any good. for she simply stuck that
thumb in her mouth and went to sleep
just as if the thumb was the sweetest
morsel she ever tasted. / guess the
aloes must have been old and lest its
taste The next night I tried some
thing else. got some tincture OF cas-
cara sagrada and anointed the young
lady's thumb in great shape, and con.
cluded that had solved the problem.
But that was not complete success,
and really II was not a success at all,
for though when she put her thumb in
her mouth and on getting taste of
the stuff on It she set UP q howl, after
she had let off a few bars in the high
soprano of childhood she quieted down
and said: Mamma, handkerchi,' and
on being given a handkerchief she in
dustrlously rubbed the thumb until
the last vestige of cascara had been
wiped off, then sticking the thumb in
her mouth she was soon in dreamland.
Her mother says that the baby got the
thumb-sucking habit from me. but /

Who of thy crafty rulers rose to bless

In hopeless woe thy peon children orept,

The few amassed, the many in duress,
Rapine aroused, while sluggish justice

Now gaunt guns nose their muzzles at thy

U. S. GETS PISGAH FOREST.
Tract of $4,000 Acres Bought From
Vanderbilt Estate For S433,500

The national forest reservation com
mission has approved the purchase of
the Pisgah forest In North Carolina
from the estate of the late George w.
Vanderbilt at an average price of So an
acre. There are S6,700 acres, and the
total cost is therefore S433, 800.
Mrs. Vanderbilt offered the tract at
a much lower figure than that at which
it was held by her husband. He con
served Pisgah forest from the time he
bought it up to his death, a period of
nearly twenty-five years, under the
conviction that every forest wne
owes it to those who follow him to
hand down he property to them unim
paired by wasteful use. His widow
sympathizes with his belief that pri-
vate ownership of forest land is a pub
lie trust and that It's ownership by the
nation will alone make its preservation
permanent and certain.
In accordance with Mrs. Vanderbilt's
desire the national forest reservation
commission will retain the name of
Pisgah forest. 1t is proposed to make
Ii a game refuge for the preservation
Of the fauna of the eastern mountains
With this purchase and others the
total area approved for purchase IN
der the Weeks law in the eastern
mountains il t.0T7. 900 acres.

MORMON TEMPLE IN CANADA
FIRST ON BRITISH SOIL
Work Well Under Way on 100000
Structure at Cardston, Alberta.

Work on the first Mormon temple on
British soil Is now well under way at
Cardston, Alberta, the Mormon cen,
ter for Canada. The structure will be
of granite from the Rocky mountains
Of British Columbia. Machinery val
ued at $4,000 has been installed on
the temple ground and cutting win be
done there as fast as the rough mate
rial can be delivered. AS each stone
is cut and dressed it will be placed IN
the wall.
The structure viii cost at least $500,
600. This money will come mostly
from tithing sent to headquarters at
Utah, and the contractors have the as,
surance Of the church that all money
needed win be forthcoming when ask.
ed for, Bishop Nibley, who has charge
of the business affairs Of the Mormon
church throughout the world, will have
direct control of the work, but will not
be on the ground. A local inspector
and superintendent Of construction will
direct the local activities
The Church Of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter Day Saints has no temples at pres
ent outside of the state of Utah, where
the great Salt Lake temple stands. The
Salt Lake temple cost $4,000,000. ant
was forty-tive years in building. The
other Utah temples, Manti, st. George
and Logan, cost all told about $1,000,
GOO. MATERIAL at the time they were
erected was very costly and transpor
tation difficult. 1t is stated by the au
thorities that as good building can bC
done today for about one-third of th,
cost. So it would seem that the Cana
dian temple will compare favorabl!
with any OF the Utah structures out
side Of the Great Salt Lake temple.
There are in Canada today close t.
10000 Mormons, and the Cardston TEN
| pie will be for their own use. Nor
mons in the northern United States
who are much nearer to the interna
tional boundary than the state of Utah
will also have the Canadian temple a
their shrine for receiving the highe
ministrations of the church.
