Deep Attachment Found Among Jungle Animals

A lion was shot dead. His mate in
a paroxym of grief threw herself pros
trate over his dead body, then rose up,
every hair on her back bristling with
anger. She had caught the scent of
the slayer. She followed 1t up, and
coming upon his camp leaped over the
fence to where the man sat. After she
had literally torn him to pieces, she
turned to mourn beside her dead lord.
This is one of the tales of Family
Life in the Jungle" told in the Natal
Witness to indicate that in many cases
animals "have human feelings of love
and kindness to each other" Another
instance comes from the Kalahari. A
group of lions, male and female, and
two cubs, were gamboling In a dry
river bed. Suddenly the lion threw up
his head; the air had told him mes
sage. Without turning his head he

Much in This Plan.
Seattle Times.)

Hailing Franklin D. Roosevelt as leader who is forestry minded" Charles Lathrop Pack, Pres- dent of the American Tree Association, looks for ward confidently to Nation wide program of reforestaton. When MT. Roosevelt comes into the White House. says MT. Peck, the American people will have a Chief Executive who is an earnest advocate of forestry progress
 In the same statement MT Peck announces pub lication of the forteth edition of The Forestry Primer giving details of the recently completed survey of present possibilities of reforestation on public lands with estimates of costs and the num- Der of men that may be employed. The effort now will be to have the National Government provide direct means for the work on Federal forest lands and encourage similar action by the States on State-oWned lands.
 The program outlined a result of the survey sets up comparatively modest cost for the actual planting of new trees In this it shows that those who were quick to criticize that feature of MT. Rooevelt's speech of acceptance did not grasp the fullness of the thought he had in mind It Is true his suggestion that immediate employment in the forests could be furnished for 100000 men was extravagant; but the fact that great many men may be so employed is not open to question First critics of the Roosevelt suggestion made the point that with only so many trees available for planting and only so many areas where they might be planted the end of planting would be reached in no time at all The survey report clears that up by reasonable estimate of planting possl- ~0~N
 directed toward the better protection of old forest
 growth as well as the new; and anyone who thinks that better protection is not needed doesn't know
 his forests.
 r The available digest of the report indicates the greater need for replantng in Eastern areas tnat Ihave suffered more denudaton than the heavily
 timbered Pacific Northwest. But the protective Work could apply with just much value in this region as anywhere The actual planting, on Federal and State lands, looks to outlay of only S37ll- 8Oo to provide 1276,886 days of labor. The remainder of the aggregate estimates, running to $51 POP which would give 20,498761 man days of labor is directed to fire protection, insect and disease control, safeguard against flood and soil erosion road and composite construction, and all
 the accessories needed to the security of the forests and their use and enjoyment by the people. And so despite some wsecracking at MT Roose- vets first suggestion, there is much substance In the plan that should command favorable attention in all parts of the country and induce early action by Congress and the Legislatures of the several States.

CHRISTMAS.

Tomorrow Christmas, is the greatest day in the calendar throughout the Christian world It is com memorated in honor of the Savior of mankind It is observed as His birthday It signifies peace on earth, goodwill and life everlasting.
 As holiday Christmas is devoted essentially to the children but it and all that it signifies are the most important things in the lives of those of all ages and among Nations as well as individuals
 The day will be celebrated in every part of the world by those of all the Christian Nations and millions of those whose countries do not formally recognize the Christ All people and all peoples are fully conscious of the significance of the day and its universal importance and observe it informally if not otherwise
 The methods of observing Christmas are too well known to require comment. We have the religious services and music, feastng and goodfelowhip, dec oratons and social functions. But, with the school and church entertainments and services the greet ines and Christmas gifts the outstanding things with juveniles and they suggest Santa Claus and his reindeers, the Christmas tree and the chimney stocking the unpacking Of mysterious parcels the good eats and the play with new toys etc.
 There is one feature of Christmas that too often is overlooked Some ultra sentimenalists sadly shake their heads and spsak n1ourntuily concerning what they term the "commercialization" of Christmas They would in different way do the great festival of the year what Emperor Diocletian sought to do to it in his imperial day.
 But Christmas would be sorry affair if dourly divorced from the trade and business which now assist to make it really day of cheer and happ- ness Trade and business gather from the four corners of the earth and distribute joyous wealth of treasure.
 Back of Christmas business are the noblest mo- tives known to humanity Men profit through the traffic in Christmas goods, it is true, but the in spiration of this traffic is love The merchant and tradesman could not sell their holiday wares if fond human affections and friendships were to be wiped out of our experience This is why the "ocmmer- cialization deplored by gloomy folk, in reality has become as much part of the Yuletide season the evergreen, the laurel, the holly and all the traditional accessories apperaining to the chief fes tva of Christian lands
 So the men of business-and in the wide cycle of specially inspired activity numbered laborers, the captains of industry explorers, travellers scen- tists advenIurers savages the endless chain of trans portation-coolie, camel train and ships of the air and sea-contrbute tremendous share of service

 You're a great chap" Dak sank deeper, crossing his legs. There aren't many husbands of your sort standing who would show such leniency. You ought to re- gard me as an untouchable. h. stead of which you shake my hand welcome me into your home. I'm overcome by your generosity
