THE NATuRE LOVER.

JOHN MUIR, the Sierra nature lover who has just died. once remark:
q; have no time to fool away making money; the rich man car
rs too heavy a pair Of blankets" Mr.. Muir refused N day a offer of
a leading magazine of $4,000 for a few short letters. When Harvard

hese characters that hold SO Lightly what other lei strive and
sweat to gain may seem eccentric. Yet they have commonly acquired
more of lies cal happiness. Also their intimate touch with nature n
ables them to se many of the practical facts of life that re hidden
from the ordinary man.
Muirs great practical service has been his work for the preservation
OF forest reserves and national parks. Thousands of users of water sup
plies have already profted by his foresight. Whole states will be bene
hted in future years by the preservation through his efforts of sections
of grand scenic value as national parks.
Every region has its nature lovers. who in their own field accomplish
a little OF the san results IS those achieved by a national figure like
Muir, The man who persuades a growing town to set apart some love
~ forest tract o pretty open country space as a park or playground is
Duloing for the future business prosperity of that community.
The person who sits in the field watching the ways of the birds may
seem to his neghbor to he al idler. Yet he may know more of what is
destroying the crops of his section than does the farmer. The man who
seemingly roams ahnless through the woods may know more IS to why
the streams are drying up than does the one who depends ON the water
power Types of men like Muir are advance scouts of civilization, in
dealing with the mysterious ways and acts of Mother Nature-Repubican.
AS FOR or national defonses, We may well feel that we have one
mighty bpwark-a President who has met the crisis with pose and N
ergy and who defends u against those of our own citizens who forget
the true grandeur of the manufacturing IS this does from the columns
OF the New York Evening Post 1T is a gratifying recognition Of the great
ness of the man who stands between the United States and war.

SllsiTTISIsIsD ROMANCE

Manchester, VT, June 25. Mrs
Jessie Lincoln Beckwith, daughter o
Robert Todd Lincoln Of Chicago, an,
|only living grandchild Of the latt
President Abraham Lincoln, was mar
ilriod at the summer home of hel
parents here to Frank Edward John
son Of Norwich, Conn.
Only the immediate members Of tht
family witnessed the ceremony, which
was performed by the Rev. Sidney
kingman Perkins. Mr.. johnson is a
well known geographer and is con.
lnected with the National Geographic
society Of Washington.
Mrs. Johnson's new union is much
different from the one formed by her
against the wishes Of her parents in
1887, In those days Miss Jessie Lin
coin, a society belle, was visiting at
the home Of her grandfather, Justice
Harlan, when she met Warren w.
|Berkwith, who was playing right half
back on tho Iowa Wesleyan football
team.
Miss Lincoln watched him, fell un-
der the spell of her worship at college
games, and love developed, and a
speedy courtship was carried on, de-
spite the efforts of the Lincoln rela-
tives to prevent it. An elopement fol-
lowed, and the brides father tried to
place Beckwith in a responsible posi-
tion With the Pullman company in
Chicago.
The young husband, however, soon
returned to the home of his father.
Capt. ~. Beckwith, at Mount Pleasant,
and later became professional base
ball player in minor leagues. Then
he entered the Spanish-Amcrican war
as volunteer. A daughter was born
to tho couple, the only great grand
daughter OF Lincoln.
BY this time the love cooled and
separation followed, divorce not be-
Ing obtained, however, until 1900 on
charges of desertion made
by the husband At last accounts
Beckwith was brakeman on the
Burlington railroad and was living at
Creston. Ia

The eight has had only two rows

shell. The Californians average a
shade under $50 pounds. Whether
this excessive weight indicates great
power is hard to say. They won the
