The misstatements made about Sen- ator Brandegee and his opposition to the forest reserve bills and that he alone is responsible for thir being held up, is thoroughly exploded by the fact that there are two bills wpon this subject—the Weeks bill in the house, which empowers states to co-operate ~ith one another or with the govern- ment in the protection of the forests and the navigable waterways, and the Gallinger bill, in the senate, which has been referred to the agricultural com- mittee, not the committee of which Senator Brandegee is chairman. The Bulletin's Washington corre- spondent writes that “it is understood that the house committec on agriculture is about evenly divided on the Weeks il and the chairman, Represeniative Scott, 1s doing all he cn to defeat it. Mr. Weeks, however, hopes to be able to get a report from the committee, and. if he does, he will also fight it through the house. There is a per- fect understanding between Repre- sentative Weeks and Senator Brande- gee on this subject, and they have had several conferences of late on the proposition. Senator Brandegee has also discussed the subject with the president and told him the exact situ- atlon. “It has bean agreed by all interested that Representative Weeks is to try to push hisgbill through the house, or t least to get Some measure through he lower hwuse, after which Senator Brandegee will see what he can do in the serate. It may be, however, that the bill will not go to the forestry committee of the senate. Senator Gallinger has already introduced a bill, ertical with the Weeks bfll, in the senate, and this bill was referred to the committee on agriculture, and not o the one of which Senator Brandegee is chairman, which would indicate that the Weeks bill might be referred to the agricultural committee. It will be secn from this, that Senator Brandegee has no bill before his committee, and has not been called upon to take any action in ths matter. “The published report that Senator Brandegee has been left in charge of the entire subject and that he has thus far fafled to do_anything, is not cor- rect. While he has talked with Presi- Sent Taft about forest reserves, it is agreed that the house must act first, instead of having two bills, one passed by the senate and ome by the house, and the final result likely to be that neither would become a law. That was the result last congress, when, at the jast moment, Senator Brandegee tried get the senate to agree to the eeks Bill, and falled, as congress 12d to adjourn within & day or two.” A COURSE IN MATRIMONY. From the Kansas agricultural college Bt Topeka comes a pamphlet written by one of the professors, and called, “A Better Crop of Boys and Girl: ‘What the professor wants is a sclen- tifically worked coufse in matrimony to be a part of the instruction in the public schools of the state. He argues that in Kansas people know all about rearing cows and pigs and raising alifalfa, but that a young man, contem- plating marriage, does not know so well a good young woman when he sees her; and a young woman, in the pame circumstances, is a little uncer- tain as to how to size up the young man. He thinks that since both do not know the evidences of real worth in the opposite sex, the man falls in love with a show hat or a mincing galt, and the wuman with a flashy necktie or istening rings. Surely hs would have ded other things if they play foot- Dall out there. So he would have them tanght in the schools what they ought to look for in each other, and what they ousht to expeet in the married iife. Then when a couple applies for a licenze they will be put through the sproats, and if the examination is not £00d, be refused a license. Imagine the result if the man was told he ought to marry somebody else—Newbury- port News. £ The good, old way doesn't have so many flaws in it as do the minds of thess regulators, who not only feel re people are not marrying right, that the climatic condititons of v, and ail other conditions, might be improv It is a good thing hat the privilege of talking is as far s these reformers gét. Girls may be marrying red neckties instead of men, cktie never rises to the dignity of becoming the head of the: family. The race 'as been sulting its fancy for untold generations and there i8 no it 5 why it should nbt con- nue to ings exalted In spite of a degrading record, in the hope that tenderness may inspire them with high alms and admission later to the higher walks of . The Missouri cadets, with the lockstep, will be admired on dress pa- rade, and let us all pray that pretty clothies and shiny boots may create in them a new and a good consclence. Bat it must be admitted this method of reform seems to be a little too dressy for old-fashioned folks. A BLUFFER IN DISMAY. The political bluffer is getting rarer and rarer all the time, because the way of meeting the bluft is becoming more and more perilous. The conduct of Senator Stone of Missourl gives fresh evidence that when a political biuffer is squerely met the unexpected has happened. According to the Kansas City Journal, Senator Stone issued a blustering challenge that Governor Hadley should agree to resign his of- fice and pay all the costs of the re- count if it was shown that the vote in the St. Louis senatorial primaries was not fraudulently stuffed - and counted in Stone’s favor—a most un- just and unfair demand on Stone's part—and to his dismay the governor has accepted the challenge. g Senator Stone does not respond and seeks to let the matter drop, .but he is told by The Journal that “unless he meets the issue squarely his stand- ing as a man and prestige as a poli- tician will have received & staggering blow. The people of Missourl will never confer political honors on a man who ignominiously backs down from any tmportant proposition, especially one that he has made himself. Under such circumstances Hadley would certainly defeat Stone by thousands of votes in a race for the senate. The ineident, unless Stone in some way wriggles out of his embarrassing predicament, will materially strength- en Governor Hadley's standing before the people as a shrewd politiclan. It will also jeopardize if not completely blast Senator Stone’s political future in Missouri.” THE IMPOSSIBLE. The problem of taking 45 from 45 and having 45 left is recognized upon its face as an impossible problem un- less there Is some trick about it, but 1t is accomplished by subtraction, aid- ed and abetted by addition. The r day an unknown sent the solution in by mail, and by the arrangement of the digits. we have it as follows $8765 4321 equals 45 123456789 equals 45 64197532 equals 45 These two rows of digits in contrary order furnish the sums total for sub- traction; and the digits beneath the line the regult. Then by addition each row of digits makes 45. The taking of 45 from 45 and having 45 as a remainder is just a juggle, not a stralght result. It is a pretty little with the nige digits when a genius gets to fooling with them. EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: Tomor- row’s joys may more than compensate for today’s annoyances.

A smile and a smirk often get into company upon the same face, but they never look well together. ~Together they look like Beau Brummel and a ragamuflin trying to be comrades. The combination by some has been defined as a kind of a sickly smile as dis- tinct from the radlant spreading smile; and be it sald few women are as good as the smile that glows, As an_expression of disdain the smirk is popular with some people, but it is oftener unwisely than wisely used. 13 a blemish to a pretty face—a dis- credit to a professedly poliic persom.

That's the true business precept.” It took a little genius to_give it a twentieth century setting. Dickens discovered that this is “a world of gammon and spinnage,” and that “if there were no bad peopie there would be no good lawyers,” and that it was possible “to be in the com- pany of several old ladies, of both Sexes.” The world owes much to Dick- ens. 11 That twenti- @ these mild mornings in Febru- senses, when you hear the blusbirds warpling, see the pussy willows swell- ing and the haze—purple haze—in the offing and know that the day is not far distant when you will look toward the swamp and sce the willow sprays yel- lowing inta good whistle stock, as they 4o just before the buds burst and they send forth thelr leaves.

In a small, black, velvet-lined case is an old-fashioned dasuerreotype, taken long ago, long before I was born, of the sweet-faced woman best loved in my world, over whose gentle brow and eyes and lips may be traced the lines of sickness and sorrow coming of those days when her baby children fell on sleep—the cold of their long sleep chili- ing the life-springs in her heart. There are other semblances of her, graphs, and a portrait done later in life, when the keenest edge of her sor- row had softened and been over-lived, and the face of the mother, in growing older, had grown brave and bright and tenderly joyous. But I love the faded, little, old daguerreotype, and love to keep It where my eyes can Jook into her eves and my heart call out, and up, and in, deep in to that loving moth heart of hers. Simply framed is the photograph of m{ dearest friend, the one I love to call my sister-friend, having never known a sister of my very own, blood— kin. Slightly worn and weary it looks, as though some perplexing life problem’ were pressing her hard; yet inex- pressibly sweet and true, the look of one who is sure to meet life's problems nobly. Volumes could not speak my loving thoughts of her. Obscurcly in the center, and close back against the looking-glass, is the pin cushion I have used for years. I is smal, and is covered with flowered velv and was given me years ago as Christmas fifl by a little girl, the child of a riend, who made it herself with her own. small hands. So many years aso it was that she is one of the grown- ups now, with a little daughter of her own quite old enough to make Christ- mas gifts for her mother's friends, if she cared to.

Are there any successors to Georse Washington, for example? In- stincfively we think, when such gues- tions are asked, of this of that rairoad magnate or_captain of industry or statesman. Not to _disparage their calling or_question’ their “greatness.” why do so many of us know so little about another of greatness, the greatness of sheer! goodness, the great- neas that arises from the ability to in- terpest the wavs of God to men to for- tify us daily struggle, to leer us_on into the shadows? Let us cultivate a litle more familiar- 1ty with the big Christians of our time, those who have lived In the midst of modern conditions and borne their Dbeautiful witness to the things of the spirit. Two of them have just been brought to public attention. The dedication in Boston of a memo- rial tablet to Phillips Brooks, a ci zens' offering, has led to-revaluation in many quarters of e matchless pulpit abilities of this great preacher, per- haps the greatest preacher whom America has yet produced.
