Sloan's Liniment and Veterinary Remedies are well known all over the country. They have saved the lives of many valuable horses, and are a permanent institution in thousands of stables. Mr. G. T.

Roberts, of Resaca, R. F. D. No. 1, Box 43, writes: "I have used your Liniment on a horse for sweeney and effected a thorough cure.

I also removed a spavin on a mule. This spavin was as large as a guinea egg. I regard Sloan's Liniment as the most penetrating and effective Liniment I have ever known." Mr. H. M.

Gibbs, of Lawrence, R. F. D. No. 3, writes: "Your Liniment is the best that I have ever used.

I had a mare with an abscess on her neck, and one 50-cent bottle of Sloan's Liniment entirely cured her. I keep it around all the time for galls and small swellings, and for everything about the stock." Dr. Sloan will send his Treatise on the Horse free to any horseman. Address Dr. Earl S.

Sunderland, who has a stand on seventh and Commercial streets. was marri to a Burlington engineer bv the in of runniripham in I i "The Virginian" has not been presented in Atchison so often that theatre-goers have tired of it, and the only explanation of. the small house last night lies in the sbOrt life of the popularity of any book. Three years ago, a man wasn't fit for polite society unless he had read "The Virginian," and the conversation was so closely confined to the book that he was as isolated as If up against a foreign language.

There were twenty-eight in the company last night, and every one good, but there was so little enthusiasm that even Campeau, who has made the part of Trampas famous, didn't get a glad hand. Perhaps this is due to the tradition against applauding a villain; W. S. Hart, as "The Virginian," and not as clever as Campeau, got several glad hands, and also Steve, the unlucky Steve, who was so handsome every woman in the house loved him, and who was hanged in the third act. "The Virginian" was tall and lank, and talked with a drawl, just as Virginians are supposed to be, and do, though all the Virginians we ever knew were short and fat.

Molly Wood, the school teacher, was clever, but she didn't talk Vermont. It was a rattling good performance, but the audience throughout acted like a man on a slow train. Missing A young colored man. The last seen of him he was running south in the lower railroad yards at a breakneck speed. An empty coffin box rested on a truck at the depot to-day.

Out of mischief one of the employes in the baggage room crawled into the coffin box, and drew the lid down. No sooner was he concealed when a young colored man, with jaunty swagger and tuneful whistle came along, and, wishing to rest his weary hones, settled comfortably on the casket. He fell asleep, and was awakened by a distressing moan. The moan was repeated, and then somebody said: "Oh-o-o-o-o-o-o. Please get off my dead body." The colored man granted the request at once.

With a bloodcurdling yell, he leaped into the air, and sped away. He attempted to cross the bridge, but Cy. Smith, fearing that in his frenzy he would leap into the watery depths beiow, blocked the way. Unable to cross the river, the colored man sprinted to the railroad yards, and, when last seen, was passing the coal mine and still going south. Wild ducks have been around Atchison for a week.

The Missourians say they never saw so many ducks in the country at this time of the year. The flight as a rule does not begin until and publishing, making illustrations, designs and engravings, and doing other work contributing directly to advertising, would if possible to compute it, show publicity to rank easily among the foremost industries of the world. "The eat Is back," announce the publishers of Everybody's Magazine in the February issue. For the sake of "business" they have been speaking softly since the panic. Now business is convalescent, and the publisher is determined that wrong shall no longer rule unchallenged even for the sake of "confidence." The cat is back, and its back is up.

The first scratch falls in the eye of Wall street. Frederick S. Dickson, connected with the lately failed stock exchange firm of A. O. Brown writes of "The poison of the street," with such feeling as to make one think this may have been the dose that killed A.

O. Brown Co. If any of the lambs who believe they get an even gamble when they play the street has ever learned to read, he will save money by borrowing a copy of Mr. Dickson's article and getting some intelligent person to explain it to him. Margin speculation, according to Mr.

Dickson, is a pure bunko game, in which the outsider has less chance to win than the would-be breaker of the bank at Monte Carlo. He gives our delicate American conscience a sharp twinge by observing that the winnings of Monte Carlo, by which the little principality of Monaco is financed and its prince permitted to carry on his scientific researches, were $7,500,000 during 1907, about what those who play the "street," our most respectable gambling den, lose in three days. Mr. Dickson criticises a broker who said, "This business we're in is pure gambling, and we're not one whit better than Dick Can-field" (the famous New York gambler). The broker owes an apology to Canfield, thinks Dickson, for Can-field was never suspected of using loaded dice, or fake wheels, or marked cards, whereas the whole game of margin speculation is "fixed." Recent reports which have been made to the state and war departments, all go to show that there is, perhaps in Cuba a chance for the American farmer far greater than that which existed in the virgin land of Oklahoma, or even in the palmy days of the Illinois river This chance, it appears, is not in the line of unfamiliar products, but is concerned solely with things with which the American farmers is personally acquainted, and in the production of which he is necessarily an expert.

Leaving tobacco, sugar, and mining properties to capitalists, there is possibly a chance for the American agricultural proprietor to go to Cuba, and, by the expenditure of an extremely small sum, to make a large return upon the capital and labor invested. This chance arises from the fact that the Cubans have devoted themselves to their great staples of sugar and tobacco, and thus far have utterly neglected the work of supplying themselves with the actual necessities of life, although those things may be produced freely and with great profit in the island itself. In a report from Consul General Rodgers, at Havana, the statement is made that potatoes, onions, beans, poultry, and hogs can all be raised in Cuba without the slightest difficulty, and at large profit. The consul general says the American farmer need not be afraid Joe last week. The bride has been V.U,T working at Chase's candy factory in kindness Mrs Brown had shown Et.

Two hundred and five of the 230 towns in New Hampshire will be dry this year, as a result of local option. According to the agents, a better automobile can be purchased to-day for $1,500 than could be had for a few years ago. The per capita circulation of the United States, about which the Populists used to talk so much, is now $35.29, the largest ever known. To commemorate the lOOdth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, Postmaster General Meyer announced that 100,000,000 new 2-cent postage stamps would be issued on or before February 12. Italy's fighting strength is numerically stronger than that of any European country, 3,365,823 men being subject to immediate Call to arms.

Among birds, the swan lives to be the oldest, sometimes reaching an age of 300 years, and the falcon has been known to live to be 162 years old. Eagles and parrots are other birds which attain long life, some of them being credited with the century mark. Another less noted feat of the wire less telegraph than the recently exploited shipwreck, but fully as important in assistance rendered, was in the case of the earthquake at Mes sina. An Italian fleet was called back promptly to assist in the work of res cue, by the aid of wireless.

The method by which Easter day is now determined is that of the first Sunday after the paschal full moon (fourteenth day of the calendar moon, or the full moon, which happens upon or next after March 21). If the full moon happens on a Sunday, then Easter is the first Sunday following. Eas ter falls on April 11 this year. Because it has been an open, dry winter, three factories of the Rubber Trust have shut down, and 3,000 men are idle. But there are two sides to everything.

A winter of moderate weather and few storms means a great deal less suffering in the country, both to man and beast, even if it have the effect of throwing rubber workers out of work temporarily. If wireless telegraphy is made compulsory on all ocean-going steamers, as is now proposed, it will afford a number of berths for the railway telegraphers, who are being replaced by telephones on certain lines. Although a great many of the big liners are now equipped with wireless, only a small per cent of the ships of the world are thus supplied. Uniyersalist is one who holds the doctrine that all men will be saved, in opposition to the doctrine of eternal punishment. Unitarian beliefs doctrines vary from an acceptance of the Bible and the divinity of Christ on the one hand to deism on the other, with many intermediate beliefs touching the various doctrinal ideas made fundamental by other churches.

Nebraska is going after the safe and sane Fourth of July through its state legislature. A bill has been introduced in the legislature of that state forbidding the use of toy pistols, giant firecrackers, dynamite firecrackers and canes. The rights of the small boy were never regarded as sa- .1 1 1 i 1 I cred, and he is fast losing the only day in the year which was made particularly to suit him. For the privilege of using tobacco, the people of the United States pay about $50,000,000 a year. But the Americans are not the greatest smokers, although the sum is enormous, and this is the original home of the "weed." The people of Holland are the greatest smokers in the world, and several other European countries have the United States beaten in per capita consumption of tobacco.

A bounty for marriages and chil dren has been voted by the municipal council of Nantes, France. Hereafter, any city employe of Nantes in good standing will receive $20 down on marrying and $10 a month for each child until the latter is 14 years old. Should the father's own salary ever Iiass $600 yearly, no further subsidy will be paid, as that sum is considered in France enough to support a family of eight. The age limit for railway mail clerks is 18 to 35 years. The entrance salary is $800 a year.

Applicants must be at least 5 feet 5 inches in height, exclusive of boots or shoes, and weight not less than 130 pounds in ordinary clothing without hat or overcoat; have no physical defects, and show in the medical certificates of the applications that they have been successfully vaccinated within the last five years. The average man has small realization of the stretch of empire that lies within the state of Texas. One of the newspapers there points out that the Lone Star state has an area of 265,780 square miles, as against New York's 47,170 that is, roughly speaking, Texas is over five times the size of the Empire state. When it comes to population there is a different story to be told, for, while New York has 8,546,356, Texas has an estimated population of about 4,000,000, or less than half the population of New York. Punctuation, by means of stops and points, is ascribed to Aristophanes, a grammarian of Alexandria, Egypt, who lived in the third century, B.

C. Whatever his system may have been, it was subsequently neglected and forgotten, but was reintroduced by Charlemagne, the various stops and symbols being designed by Warnefried and Alcuin. The present system of punctuation was introduced in the latter part of the fifteenth century by Aldus Manutius, a Venetian printer, who invented our full stop, colon, semicolon, comma, marks of interrogation and exclamation, parenthesis and dash, hyphen, apostrophe and quotation marks. The advertising receipts of ten rep resentative magazines last year amounted to nearly $8,000,000. If statistics were possibble showing the amount spent in 23,000 newespapers and periodicals, in the street cars, on the and in the hundred and one miscellaneous forms of advertising, it would perhaps exceed the figures of almost any other industry.

The number of men employed In preparing advertising matter, in printing The John B. Stetson Co. of Philadelphia, makers of the famous men's hats, last year distributed $100,000 in cash, besides watches or chains as special gifts, turkeys to the married men and candy and gloves to the girls. Sixty-five young men, who made unusual records, were given gold watches and chains. Two hundred and eighty-five shares of paid up, common stock, worth $200 per share and 102 shares of common stock, with a present market value of $350 per share, were presented to the faithful employes who had in previous years reeived successively money or watches A cash bonus is given to the employe who is never late to work and who never "knocks off." In the journeymen sizers department, 96 per cent of the men worked continuously and received 20 per cent of their wages as a bonus.

In the soft trimming department, under the bonus plan. 97 per cent of the girls worked continuously. You might not think it, but the president of the company knew all about two of the 4,600 employes who got to their work late in the mornings. In spite of last year being panicky, the Stetson company paid out $80,000 more in wages than it paid out the year before and the average weekly number of employes was 150 more than the year before. The course taken by the legislature of South Carolina In passing a vote of confidence in "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman recalls to the Boston Globe the action of citizens of the same state after Representative Preston Brooks made his cowardly attack on Senator Charles Sumner.

It will be remembered that he attacked Sumner from behind, brutally beating him over the head with a cane, while friends stood about him with drawn revolvers to guard him from interference. Brooks resigned from the house to secure a "vindication" from his constituents for his brave deed, and was promptly and unanimously reelected to the house. The assault on Sumner has been written down in history as a cowardly and wanton act, and would probably have been so regarded by the constituents of Brooks 11 tney nao weignea trie matter calmiy land judiciously. They regarded the man as their champion, however, and the adroit appeal made to thMr race 1 prejudices met a ready response from men already inflamed against All of which goes to show that there are times when a "vindication" does not necessarily vindicate. Senator Blaine, at Madison, filed yesterday specific charges accusing Senator Stephenson of using money improperly in the primary, naming the sum as approximately $250,009.

From a. poor man who worked in the forests of Northern Wisconsin and Michigan, Senator Stephenson has accumulated -000. His fortune was all made in the lumber business, and he is still adding to his wealth. A stanch Republican, when LaFollette opened his fight. Stephenson broke away from the Pfister-Spooner wing.

LaFolletre needed funds, Stephenson had grudges to repay, and was willing to back I-t-Follette with his millions. Stephenson longed to round out his care, with a term in the Senate. He had tried to land the plum and had failed. When Spooner resigned, Stephenson was the first to announce his candidacy. lie said that he would take the office for the unexpired term of two years and then step aside for -mo younger man.

He was elected in May, 1V07. Senator LaFollette. who wss formerly Stephenson's strongest support ia against his re-election. The agricultural appropriation bill reported yesterday from the committee on agriculture, of which Representative C. F.

Scott, of Kansas, is chairman, carries an appropriation of $10,000 to conduct the experiments which the department is making to perfect a process for the manufacture of paper out of cornstalks, rice or flax. Should this work prove successful, it would be of the greatest importance, of course, for Missouri. Kansas, and other states in the corn beir. Secretary Wilson refers to the results- so far obtained as "promising." The bin carries an appropriation of S133.r00 for improved methods of farm management, and of for xperi-ments in "dry llr. Scott made his annual fight to keep down the appropriation for that piece of congressional extravagance, free see-i distribution.

In spite of his efforts, the amount of the appropriation was increased $75,000 over that of last year. The sum allowed is $272,000. Many members, especially Southern Democrats, regard the seed distribution as one of their most valuable political assets. To disfranchise probably 2.000 Missourians by a strictly party vote in the legislature will be the result of throwing- the contest for lieutenant-governor back into the joint session. Jacob F.

Gmelich, Republican nominee for lieutenant-governor, gained 212 votes more than his Democratic opponent, W. R. Painter, according to the recount of the November vote in St. Louis, and eight precincts of the state, completed by the joint legislative committee yesterday. Owing to the decision by the Democratic members of the recounting committee that ballots bearing but one initial of an election judge should not be counted, eight rrecincts in St.

Louis and two in the state are being withheld, placing the contest back before the Democratic joint assembly, which is expected to seat Painter. The eight St. Louis precincts withheld would probably give Gmelich additional gains. That a member of the House, under the legislative system that obtains in that organization, is unable to prevent graft in the government service when he sees it, was the charge made by Representative Murdock, of Kansas, in a speech yesterday. In support of his contention, the Kansan emphasized the difficulties that confront the member who refuses to bow to the rule of Speaker Cannon, and submitted evidence of graft.

His speech was a spirited attack upon the rules of the House. There were men there, he said, who refused to go to the speaker as a suppliant, seeking the favor of exercising their rights as members of congress. When a member became a petitioner, he surrendered not only his own rights, but the rights of his constituency, he said. A member of the House was unable, without the consent of the speaker and his "cabinet," to prevent extravagances in public expenditures. President Roosevelt declared yesterday to callers that after his return from Africa, he expects to go West, and live there most of the time.

d33-wl has already been utilized, and there has been fear among the lovers of the beautiful that the grandeur of the falls might be destroyed to make the wheels of industry go round. But now it seems this natural beauty spot is to be spared, and is saved also by practical men, just as it was practical men who threatened its destruction. It has been learned that the diversion of water for power purposes would lower the level of Lake Erie, already the shallowest of the Great Lakes, and this arrangement would interfere with shipping and business of the lake ports. Because of this, an agreement is pending between the United States and Canada, which will avert, at least for many years, the passing of the world's most famous cataract. A Pennsylvania man has succeeded in producing a sausage which is 67 feet, 6 incnes long.

"Divorce is a remedy for evil rather than an evil In itself," declared Chief Justice Emery, of Maine, in a recent address. Marriage he defined as a civil institution, established by law for the benefit of man.

To-day, out of 225,000 miles of railroad in this country, there remains but four small independent railroad lines: the Missouri, Kansas Texas, 3,072 miles; the Kansa City Southern, 839 miles; the Wisconsin Central. 1.022 miles, and the Chicago Great Western, 1,4 53 miles. The United States commissioner In Alaska, H. H. Hildreth, says in an interview at Seattle, that the government is paying more to protect the seals in its part of 'Behring sea than they are worth, and doing absolutely nothing to protect the Indians of Unalaska, who seem to be doomed to extinction.

Whisky is their great enemy, and for this, says Mr. Hildreth, they will go through fire, and little is being done to keep the stun away from them. The United States census of 1900 cave the Indian population of this country as being 266,760, and, five years later the Indian agents reported the number at 2S4.079. A careful comparison has recently shown that the Indians are increasing, and now some pretty well-informed people are claiming that there are more Indians now in the United States than were here at the time Columbus discovered the continent. When America captured the Philippines from Spain, it was said that the natives of the islands were afraid to trust the Americans because they had exterminated the Indians in their own country, and the same fate might be awaiting them.

Since the saloons were' closed in Fort Scott about two years ago, liquor drummers representing houses of other states, have made frequent trips there, each time taking a large number of orders for liquor, which was later shipped in. These drummers have never been interfered with in the taking of orders, as the laws of the state had been construed to read that where an order was taken with out a cash payment, for liquor that should be delivered at some future time, no law was being violated and there was no legal way to stop it. The United States supreme court has now- ruled that this method of taking orders Is a violation of the prohibi tory laws; and that an agent can be prosecuted for making a sale. County Attorney John Caldwell is familiariz ing himself with the law and an Im mediate campaign will be made against the drummers. Xotiee of Final Settlement.

He was born a little out of season and his mother abandoned him. Since then the people south of town have cared for him. About thirty years ago J. W. Low was as bald as a billiard ball.

The top of his head was slick and shiny. He says that a friend recommended that he rub a preparation of one-third glycerine and two-thirds alcohol on his head. He says that he actually succeeded in growing rather thick fuzz which never left him. He has considerable hair now on his head. The Globe is in receipt of the following letter: "Give me an item on what you think of a man that about all he ever talks about is steamboats and lewd women, and waiting for something to happen that will give him a chance to get even.

Youths' Companion: The late Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, was noted for his ready retorts and epigrams, which were not always devoid of the sting and smart to those to whom they were addressed. It is related that once, when engaged in a controversy with a senator from Delaware, he evaded the real question by eaying: "I thank the senator from that great state which has three counties at low tide and two counties at high tide." i The editor of the Evening Item, at Richmond, Indiana, telegraphs The Globe: "It ia asserted by the anti-salooif element here that the entire state of Kansas has but eighty-seven paupers, due to state prohibition. Is it true?" We haven't the statistics at hand, but the assertion that Kansas has but eighty-seven paupers is a whopper.

There are nearly thirty in the Atchison county poor house, and in Atchison there is a state institution for indigent children with 205 inmates. The railroad men are talking about "The Avenue," a new hotel at Belolt, which will soon be ready for occupancy. Rather, it is an old hotel remodeled. The inside decorations will be very swell; the railroad men lay fctress on the fact that the steps leading to the dining room will be marble.

It seems from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of to-day that Tom Pullen committed suicide. Pullen came to the Maryland hotel late Monday afternoon, and asked for a room with a bath. He registered as S. Pullen, Alton," and paid for his room in advance.

A farewell letter, which he wrote to his friend- John A- Keister. 3905 Olive street, on the hotel stationery, read: "Come to the Maryland hotel at about 10 a. m. When you get thera I will be dead." In a letter to the coroner. Pul len said he was tired of living.

The district court jury awarded Fred Chew damages against L. Wines Co. to the amount of $2,750 for the loss of his eyesight. Four years ago Chew was employed by Wines who were excavating for a sewer in the alley back of the Byram-Snow-den cigar factory.

A colored man had put in a charge of dynamite, which failed to go off. Chew did not know it and struck the dynamite with a pick. Besides losing his eyesight he received other injuries which came near cost iing him his life. It is an unfortunate lease all around. Chew is a poor man, and the loss of sight is a terrible calamity.

A funny situation has arisen from a tax title sale in St. Joe. William Blum, a saloonkeeper, has bought tax titles to the property of the Holy Trinity Episcopal congregation. An assessment was made against the church for benefits resulting from the grading of an adjoining street, although the street has not been graded near the church. The sale was made at the same time miK-h other real estate against which assessments for benefits had been made by commissions appointed by the court, was sold.

The real value of all the property sold estimated to be one-half million Blum bid it in for $830. TlK-re is a story to the effect that an Atchison doctor was lately called to ste a woman who had sprained her arm. In order to take a look at her arm. it was necessary to cut her clothes off, as she had sewed her clothes on for the winter. And the doctor says her flesh was pink and healthy looking; she seemed to be getting along all right without bathing.

CHENEY Toledo. Ohio. Sold by Druggists, 75c. Take Halla Family Pills for constl- nation, i the latter part of February. However, ducks will come north in the spring upon the first strong, warm breeze from the south.

In the spring they fly north in the daytime. If it turns cold, they will turn and go back. They must fly south at night; an old hunter says he has never seen more than a few gangs flying south during daylight in the spring. A gang of wild ducks will cover 300 or 400 miles a night without much difficulty. As a matter of fact, ducks don't know any more about cold weather coming in the fall of the year than men do.

In the fall, when long strings of ducks are going south, it is a sure sign that cold weather is close behind. The ducks know because they have been in it. They fly so swift that they are able to leave the storm behind them. The manufacturers seem to be like most men: Don't know what the women want, and don't dare get it until they find out. There is a shortage in short black gloves.

There are none in Atchison, and W. H. Marshall, who travels for a glove factory, and who was in town to-day, said that last Saturday he sent, or visited personally, every store in Chicago and there was not one pair of short black gloves in the city. He says the reason is that the manufacturers did not know what il. i L.

nv the women wanted: That for two or three years the women would not have anything but long gloves, and short gloves were a drug on the market. But now the women have decided to WPar short gloves and the factories are all at work making them. It will be at least two weeks before the first shipment of short black gloves arrives in Atchison. Mrs. Mary Nelton, the woman who followed her two children from Columbus to the Soldiers' Orphans home, and who, instead of going to Kansas City, jumped off the train at Oak Mills, has been sent back to Cherokee county.

Judge Casey took the matter up with the commissioners of Cherokee county, who refused to pay the costs of trying her on an insanity charge, and having her sent to the asylum. They said she was a regular tramp, had been married several times, and was the mother of several children. Tom Hinton took her as far as Kansas City in order that she might not leave the train again in this county. About a week ago an Atchison girl who "keeps company" with a soldier stationed at Fort Leavenworth, re teived a telegram that her friend at the fort was very ill. Later came an other telegram that he was dead.

A couple of hours after the receipt of the second telegram, another soldier. a friend- of the man said to be dead, appeared at the girl's house. He ex-rlained that he had sent the telegrams as a joke. After he had sent them he realized what a serious joke he had played. He became so ashamed of himself that he came to Atchison to square it.

The soldier boy of the Atchison girl was not sick at all. Dr. B. F. Boyle is a remarkable man.

He has been preaching thirty-six years and says that sickness has never kept him out of his pulpit more than three days in all that time. In the last fifteen years he cannot recall when he had to remain out of his pulpit on account of sickness or has missed a meal. In the last two years he has been absent from his pulpit but three Sundays. He isn't much on taking vacations. Last year, instead of taking a vacation, he sent Mrs.

Boyle to Idaho to visit their daughter. Mrs. John M. Price claims to be in the Mrs. Kate Modrell class.

Beginning the first of next week she will cook three meals a day and keep house for fourteen in the family for two weeks. She will have ten men who will do repair work for the Bell telephone company. Two of the men will be accompanied by their wives, and Mrs. Price has three in her own family; herself and husband, and Miss Margaret Bechtel, a school teacher. A Horrible Hold-Up.

Europe is full of artists who, as far as line and color go, can turn out admirable copies of anything: these copies are made on old canvases mounted on a framework of old wood, and, when the paint is dry, the picture is put through an ingenious aging process. A certain kind of varnish gives a ripe golden tone, and a deepening of shadows with a suggestion of the soil of centuries is had by the smearing of licorice juice.

As for the cracked paint surface sure sign of age that is obtained by baking the picture carefully in an oven, or by laying a plaque of metal on the canvas, and striking it gently with a hammer. Worm holes in frame or panels are merely a matter of fine shot fired in and afterwards picked out. And fly specks to deceive the flies themselves may be had by the judicious spatter of Indian ink. No doubt, to the sure connoisseur, there is something hard and cold about the copies, something vaguely unsatisfying; but no one can Ceny that they are enormously like the originals so much like them that the great museums of Europe, all unsus pecting, have hung their wall with these mellow masterpieces of yester day. It is said, for Instance, that Rembrandt's portrait of Sobieski in the Louvre is not the original at all but only a copy, the original being in Russia.

New York American: It is a sorry. sordid business a disgrace to our hu manity, which overflows for earth quake sufferers abroad, while the rail way victims in our own land are an ever-swelling host of deaths and near-deaths. The only basically correct principle is the protection of life, not merely to escape paying so much per arm, per leg and per corpse, but for the sake of limbs and life. The wreck near Glenwood Springs, presents the lesson beheld in ghastly disaster after disaster, that the roster of sudden death and injury was among the passengers in the day coaches. As is usual in collisions, the Pullman pas sengers escaped harm.

The heavy and stanch sleeping cars were not even derailed. The recent disaster on the Denver Rio Grande railway su gests again DEMANDS AGAIN equality of tensile and resisting strength in all steam railway coaches! If that rule had existed the tragedy in Colorado would have been a minor ac cident in its casualties. The national forest reserves are not yet on a paying basis. Last year they yielded a return of a little more than one cent an acre, or about two-thirds of the entire cost of the forestry bureau. But they will do much better later.

When more of the private lumber tracts are consumed, and the lumbermen are compelled to draw on the- national reserves for much of their supplies of logs, the revenue from this source will be large. And, best of all, under the scientific methods of forestry, it will be practically constant. Only timber of a certain size may be cut, the younger timber being allowed to grow up to take its place.
