He Loved Marie.

A sailor at the Seamen's Church
Institute, just in from Cuba, came
rafting down the stairs recently
with a heavy scowl on his face. He
approached the institute Interpreter
and threw down his letter addressed
to a young woman he had met dur
ing the trip: Dear Marie: The
more l think of you the worse l love
you. l seen my sister and she says
she will teach you English in two
weeks if you cum here Marie, love
you awful and send you $50 for you
to cum here. 1 seen your brother

ute. When l send a girl $50 for any
thing I'm crazy. AS ever, Oscar"

THE FORCE OF SLANG.
How Some of Its Words Gain High
Standing Abroad.

That original slang is poetic is the
contention of Max Eastman in the
New Republic and he goes on to say:
perhaps the best way to prove this
to the professors will be to remind
them that some of their own worth
lest and most classic and respectable
words are themselves, if we go back
to their origin, just the same slanSy
vasabonds as these Examine, for
instance, the word inveigh. There
IS a staid and dignifed term, fit to be
incorporated in presidents inaugu-
raj: / will not at this time inveigh
against the custom prevalent among
my contemporaries You can imag-
inc how it would sound. And yet
poetically-what does that word
mean? In means into. Vehi means
to sail: 1 will not at this time sail
into my contemporaries Here is
another Latin word-insult. In its
origin it means to jump on-exactly
what is said everywhere by the school
children of America when the appro-
pirate situation arises.
''Diatribe is a pretentious term. 1t
implies something more thorough
than an insult, more lasting denun-
citation. You not only Jump on
somebody, but you rub it in We
used to say of a crazy person that he
was off his trolley And the word
delirious meant substantially the
same thing in an earlier stage of ci-
vilization. 1t came from the Latin
words de and lira, which means of
or out of your furrow. The word
precocious means precooked, or. as
we say, half baked. Caprlclous
means like a goat, and the slang cor
relatives here are innumerable.
Imagine some worthy, refined and
graduated soul, being offended by a
young upstart, and responding some
what as follows: 1T seems to me
YOU are a trifle capricious. l would
hardly expect any one to inveiSh
against me in this delirious manner,
delivering such diatribe. 1t is es-
sential to your precocity to insult
your elders?' And then suppose we
translate this somewhat according to
the chronological dictionary: You
goat! You must be off your trolley
to sail into me like that and then rub
it in! Just because you're half
baked you needn't think you can
lump on YOUR elders!'"

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Linnie Hutto McGinnis. Truly
we can say a good woman is gone
one whose memory will long be rev.
cred and cherished by the host of
friends who loved her tenderly. Her
death has cast a gloom over this en-
tire community where she was honor
ed and loved for her virtues and
Christian graces. She was always
found by the side of the sick bed of
her friends, to lend helping hand
and to speak words of cheer and
comfort to those in trouble. Her
loss will be truly felt, the fragrance
of her life was pervaded with inde-
scribable sweetness, the whole circle
in which she moved, and now that
she has passed away, her kind words,
her pleasant smiles and gentle acts
spring up as beautiful flowers along
the pathway that memory traces of
her entire life. But she has gone,
gone to mere congenial cline.
She leaves three little girls, Edith
and Hughie Hutto, age eight and
twelve years, and Cleo McGinnis, age
four years. She departed from us
on the 2Sth of February, 1916, in
the 31st year of her age, and was
buried at the family burying ground,
near Clear Pond, by the side of her
first husband, Hugh Hutto, who died
eight years ago. Her funeral was
preached by the Rev. Roof, pastor
of the Ehrhardt Lutheran church.

Censorship of Movies.

We censor the movies for moral
reasons but do not think it important
to criticise them for their outrages
against the intelligence. They serve
the gross superstition of people and
thereby do a real damage to the
community common sense.
For the present the movies mainly
insist upon using bunk as the motive
of human action and largely refuse
to accept the nationality of cause and
consequence. They are debauching
the minds of the people who see
them. But the cure is elsewhere than
in censorship. That would be a
short cut, but is one which seemingly
cannot be taken.
So long as the people consent to be
bunked by the movies they will be
bunked. They are their own most
effective censors.-Chicago Tribune.

A Wood Pulp Supply.

Canada is proving 10 Ue AHe stole 9
house of paper and paper materials
for the United States, which con-
sumes the great bulk of Canada's ex-
ported products of that kind. From
an export of paper and paper materi-
ais in 1892 valued at SOL, the total
exports of paper pulp and pulp wood
for the year ending last July grew to
S4O,S65,266, an increase of 81 per
cent. over the year before. Of this
the United States took 81 per cent.
In connection with these figures,
issued by the Canadian department
of commerce, warning is sounded
lest the heavy drain placed on Cana
dian forests be permitted to eat up
this source of wealth, and suggesting
that much more stringent measures
in regard to reforestation will be
needed to protect the pulp woods
from final destruction.
Only in recent years has Canada
felt the paper making drain on its
forests. This country has consld-
erably larger number of mills at
present and these mills are credited
with a daily capacity of 4,125 tons,
as against 2,0S5 tons which the Ca
madam mills can turn out daily.
During this year seven new mills will
begin operations in Canada, having a
daily output of go tons, against
three new mills opening in this coun-
try with a capacity of 130 tons.
Canada and the United States have
each about the same area of forests,
estimated at about 100000 acres,
but the Dominion has more paper
making wood. At the present time
the mills in this country are consum-
ing nearly double the amount of pulp
wood used by the mills across the
border, but the tendency is more
nearly to equalize the production.
Timber is cheaper in Canada than in
this country, where the industry in
it's present Importance is of such
recent date that the private monopo-
list has not yet been able to get in
his work as effectively as in this
country.
The rapidly growing demand for
news print paper has within the last
two years focused attention on the
available supply of pulp material.
More than three million cords of this
kind of wood cut in the United States,
and a million imported from Canada
are used by the mills in this coun-
try, chiefly for news print. In addi-
ton to spruce, the most desirable
timber for pulp making, eight or ten
ether soft woods are now being used.
On account of the increasing calls
for timber suitable for the manu-
facture of wood pulp, and the excess
of cutting over the annual growth Of
the forests, disclosed by the depart
ment of forestry in its report for the
year ending June 30, the problem OF
maintaining a supply of both hard
and soft woods is serious one. TIC
allow the cutting of timber to go on
with no adequate provision for a new

growth is to invite ultimate disaster.
\ number of substitutes for wood
for building purposes have been de-
vised, but there has been discovered
thus far no substitute for wood in
paper making. In the meantime the
demand for the news paper was never
so insatiate as just noW.-Nashvllle
