Roosevelt Denies Charges Trust Backing. of Steel New York, Jan. 16. "There are depths of tomfoolery to which I can not go. I certainly have not the time to discuss a pipe drenm of this char acter." This Is Roosevelt's comment today when asked regarding the tjruth of tho story that the steel trust Is hacking him In an effort to secure the " LIFE ON A BOER FARM. Th. Houee a Chamber of Horror a, the Housewife Hopelessly Dull. . An American woman traveling In South Africa was detained by Hoods and compelled to spend a month on a Boer farm. "The first night' monoto ny," she writes, "wus broken by . tho roaring of the ostriches under our win dow. We thought it was a tame lion. "The farmer and bis family lived chiefly on sour bread and sour skim, milk, and I was therefore hungry most of the time, and the ripe nga banging in clusters were pretty allur ing. After pushing back the skin of the fig and enjoying the soft fruit, with its tropical taste, I bad a refresh ing night's sleep, only to awaken In the morning pretty well scared, for my tongue was so swollen and' black that I could not talk. "The Boer wife laughed and enjoyed my discomfort and explained that the sklo of the fig bad numerous flue thorns and I had nut been careful to remove them wben eating. "When 1 told the farmer's wife that I liked buttermilk in quantity I no ticed that I bnd a cupful or so given me, but she threw It by the pailful to the pigs. They were of far more con sequence to her than I. for they would stay longer with her and were her fa miliars. 1 was not. "Then, again, when I was hungry for butter on my bread a white, clammy substance made from sheep's tall fat was banded to me, and I could not al low the farmer's wife to see me quiver. She sold her butter In the village close by at "5 cents a pound, more or lesB, Sour bread and green strawberries (plenty of them) were considered good enough. , "This Boor family was one of the wealthiest of their kind. There was not a ripple of fun or exuberant life In anything but the live stock. Con versation was a dead language un known. "The women are mute beings, ac cepting their destiny with deep still ness. The wife gives op her strength to the limit, and dies after giving blrtb to a dozen or more children, to make way for wife No. 2. who gives another dozen children to her country. Her adobe bouse, with its dirt floor made of ant bill clay mixed with beef gall. Is a chamber of horrors to an Ameri can traveler. "The farmer depends upon bis ten or eighteen children of all sizes to help him. A Kaffir as an employee Is unde pendable as the winds that blow. Yet that Kaffir is the hired man In the mines and elsewhere In South Africa. The white man as a day laborer Is a general failure. He cannot be worked In droves like the Kaffir from the in terior, whose language, in clicks and vowel sounds, is hardly human. "The Boer is not long lived. One seldom met an aged Boer of the old stock. Oom Paul Kruger, who was seventy-five years old when he died, was an exception. Hatred toward the uitlander and the lust for gold and power were what kept the fires of life burning at white heat within blm." Health Culture. Oratory No Longer 8oars. "Oratory is a lost art." said a Cleve land man the otber day. "I used to go down to the courts just to bear the lurid speeches. Nothing doing in that line any more. The lawyers do not talk about flowers, rainbows and sun beams today. ' "There was a lawyer in Cleveland years ago Bill Robinson was bis name whose addresses to a Jury always at tracted a crowd. I will forever remem ber one of his sentences. The man be was fighting in the suit bnd a reputa tion as something of a miser. "Who Is this man who is he?' thun dered Robinson. 'You know and ' I know that be bolls his potatoes in wid ows' tears.' - -:' "This phrase caught' the Jury, and Robinson won his case, but one does not hear any such oratory' as that nowadays." Case and Comment The Real Trouble. "Oh. doctor." sighed the patient, "1 am so glad you have come. 1 feel dreadful, nnd I don't know what in the world Is the matter with me. My husbnnd says it is nothing but nerv ous Indigestion, but his mother Is posi tive 1 am going to have appendicitis, nnd my mother declares I have Inter mittent fever, and my sister says It looks to her like creeping paralysis, and Aunt Henrietta says I've got malaria. What do you think I've got. doctor?" "Well." frowns the physician, "from these symptoms 1 should say offhand that you have too many relatives." Chicago Post. Dancing and Kissing. The old time ballroom smacked of the kiss. Without It tbo dance was Incomplete. It was claimed as a right And given freely. The very idea of such an omission would have caused a strike, as these lines foretold: But some reply.

ParliaiTient Buildings, Teheran, : WJjere Persians Defied Russia f w UK , v ALTHOUGH the average American knows little more about Persia than that it Is "the place where the rugs come from," the recent news dispatches from Teheran detailing the plucky if not altogether tactful opposition made by W. Morgan Shuster, the American treasurer gen eral, to the dictatorial demands of Russia have been read with Intense inter est, nor cnu Americans fall to sympathize strongly wltb the Persians them selves, who. having expelled their dissolute and Hiitot-rntlr shah, are trying to conduct a I'onxtltutional government and apparently look upon the young American who lins worked wonders with their revenue system as their finan cial savior. ItUHHla at first peremptorily ordered the dismissal of ShuHter, and the national assembly refused thus to renounce Its Independence. This action was taken at a special session while tboitsauds of patriots thronged the precincts of the parliament buildings. Later, however, the Russian forulgn office manifested a more conciliatory spirit, possibly on account of the spirited Interpellate is of the government in the British parliament, many of whose members ar - hostile to the partition of Persia even If Kugland gets a slice. FOREST FIRES. They Are 8ometlmee a Gain to These Who Own the Timber. People who have read accounts of great forest fires may be surprised to learu that. In place of loss, such fires nre sometimes a mi in to the owner. TheHjoss In lumber If cut within a few years is small, ana tne removal or un derbrush reduces the cost of lumber- lug. '. . '. 1 ' That n forest fire could In any way be a heiii'llt und not an Injury seems so novel that some proof Is necessury. The MtnU-itifiit bus bceu made that more timber Ih destroyed by fire every year ihnn in converted, Into lumber. As a mutter of fact, the report of the forest service (lei-lares the actual fire loss In national reserves for the last three years bus amounted to only one tent b of 1 per cent. From some fifty lumber companies the highest admit ted loss from Ore Is 2 per cent In twen ty years. Another company estimates its fire loss for fifty two years at 1 per cent, and another, during sixty, has bad an anuual loss of one-Hlxteenth of 1 per ceut. Twenty-eight companies re port their, loss since organization as "hardly worth mentioning.". The polut of these reports, so sur prising to those unacquainted wltb the lumber business is thai the fires, while they kill the trees, do not consume the trunk. The less severe fires do not necessarily kill the trees. Worse fires do this by burning the underbrush around the trees nnd perhaps the tops of the trees. But the trunk of the tree, the log from which the boards are to be cut. Is seldom touched. The killed timber makes as good lumber as the other, the only difference being that It is necessary to cut it within a limited time. White pine or hemlock in the upper Mississippi valley must be cut the first or the second winter following the tire or worms will injure the lumber. Tho two year period applies in the "inland empire" and to the hemlock on the Blopes of the Cnscades. Western spruce need not be cut for three years and western fir for four years. lied cedar has no limit and trees burned fifty years ago are now being turned Into shingles.
