This declaration, embodied IN tn,

Valuable Black Walnut.

Black walnut is the ideal wood for
gun stocks, but it is scarce and high
in price, and there are few of the trees
left in this country. A single tree Of
this species can be sold for good
price, and a grove of black walnut
trees represents a small fortune.
About the only black walnut trees
available now are those on farms and
private estates, and they are fast dis
appearing. The wood is hard and takes
a high polish, qualities which make it
desirable for the use to which it is put.
Manufacturers have not found a wood
to take it's place satisfactorily.
Some Of the black walnut used is OBJ
tanned from old furniture or wainscot~
ing, stairways and interior trim OF
dwellings or churches. Many years
ago black walnut was used extensive
~ in the manufacture of the best
grades of furniture, and in old churches
pews and pulpits made Of it can be
found today. The demand for the
wood is gradually causing them to dis
appear.-New York Sun.

Kaep Up With the Present.

Success and happiness depend upon
the way in which we adapt ourselves
to the realities of the objective life.
II we fight against change change
we must meet at every turn and in ev-
cry department Of life-we soon become
exhausted, wear ourselves out and sink
back into ourselves-into the subcOn'
scious-and fail and grow old before
our time.
If we cling to past experiences, refuse
to live in the present, let our faith die
when disappointments come, the results
are the same. The life forces ebb and
we sink into the great sea of the un'
conscious and are on the road to being
submerged.
Desire, will, concentration, purpose
faith-these can be applied to keep us
living in the present, to keep our en-
thusiasms active and our creativeness
