"Why, Aunt Carrie, flats nothing! 1t

was not in a fair way to become a
poetic celebrity it was not her own
fault but entirely that Of the North
End Daily OriOle, which was to make

PLANTS GUARDED BY NATURE
AS "Infants," the Saplings Are by No
Means DefenseIess Against In
Jury From Fire.

Young long-leaf plants protect them
selves against forest fires in a most
interesting and remarkable way. For
four or five years the stems of the
infant trees attain a height of only
as many inches above the soil. Dur
ing this time their bark is eXtraordi-
narily thick, and that alone gives some
protection. But in addition the long
needles spring up above the stem, and
then bend over on all sides in a green
cascade which falls to the ground in
a circle about the Seeding.
This green barrier can, with diff
Guilty, be made to burn, while the
shade that it casts prevents inflamma-
Bile grass from growing near the pro-
tected stem.
1t is thought that it is owing to
this peculiar system of self-protec-
ton. which the pine seedlings have
developed that the growth of the ever
green oaks in Florida has been re-
stricted in regions where fires have
ragged, while pure pine forests have
taken their place.

For Old Times Sake.

In the office of the prison warden at
Canon City, Colo, a clever and notori-
Gus swindler was being divested of the
contents of his pocket. AS each arti-
Gle was removed it was carefully ex-
amined, listed, and then placed tenn
porarily on a nearby desk. Among
the articles was a badly tarnished sill
yer dollar, barely distinguishable as
money.
At the conclusion of the search the
prisoner pointed to the dull-looking
ing coin and in a suppliant tone asked
the warden:
''Would you mind letting me keep
that with me?'
"Why?" asked the warden.
"Oh, just a little sentiment, 1 sup
pose" the prisoner explained. You
know, it's the first dollar 1 ever STOLE"

Lesson from NorthcIiffe,

Lord Northcliffe, owner sof many

Mail, still goes out as reporter. He
says: IF 1 wanted to be good build

American would phrase as knowing

Success comes only from thorough
knowledge of a business or profession.
