OVER 4,000,000 TREES
USED ON CHRISTMAS
WASHINGTON, Dee. 29. The for
ests this year supplied 4,000,000 Christ
mas trees, the forestry service esti
mating that one out of every four fami
lies observed the tree custom. Clifford
Pinchot, United States forester, up
holds the Christmns tree custom.
"The number of trees cut this year"
ho said, "is insignificant when com
pared with the consumption for other
purposes for which timber is demanded.
"This clearing of an area equnl to a
good sized farm, should not be the .sub
ject of much worry when it is remem
bered that for lumber alone it is neces
sary to take timber from an area of
more thnn 100,000 acres every day of
the year."

Birds That Make Incubators. '
In tbo Incubator the pale yellow
chicks, tbeir soft down not yet quite
dry in places, fell in their attempts to
rise and walk, like men dead drunk.
"There's another," said the chicken
farmer as an excited little bead came
out of an egg. "Wonderful things,
these Incubators. Would you believe
tbat there's a bird that makes them?
"Yes, sir; a bird, the megapode,
makes Its own incubator every time it
has a nest of eggs. It isn't bothered,
like other birds, with tbe long and
monotonous work of sitting. " ' ; ' -

buries Its eggs, knowing that in that

Last Night at the Grand Theater
The startling announcement was made
the.', on Saturday night a real live moth
erless baby would be given to the one
holding the coupon to correspond with
the number tli'- bnbv is labeled. Tllis-i
has known to have happened nt other
cities but steps have already been taken
to see that no such uncivilised, barbar
ism shall take place in Mcdford. The
Humane society, as well c.s the vr.rious
churches, have notified tho manager,
Mr.' Kdwiudr, that his program must
lie discontinued. .
However, Mr. Edwards is fully de
termined to carry the matter th:-ough.
Grout excitement is expected to prevail
and in all probability the ntlie" will
be compelled to , interfere Saturday
night unless Mr. .Edwards decitics to
discontinue his program of cVango his

"Belling th. Cat."
"Who will bell tbe cat?" is a curi
ous old proverb, famous In parable and
in history. Tbe mice, says tbe para
ble, held a consultation how to secure
themselves from tbe cat. and they -resolved
to hang a bell about tbe cat's
neck to give warning wben she ap
proached, but nfter they had resolved
on doing it tbey were as far- off as
ever, for who would do It? vr"
Both parable and proverb have im
mortalised themselves In history.
When the Scottish nobles met at Stir
Hug iu a body tbey proposed to take
Spence, tho obnoxious favorite of
James II., and bang blm and so get
rid of him.
"All." said Ixird Grey, "that's very
well suld, but who'll bell tbe cat?"
"Thut will I." suld the black Earl
Angus. He undertook the task, accom
plished It aud was called "Archibald
Bell the Cut" until bis dying day.

A Quetr Census.
"When 1 was last in India," said the
globe trotter, "tbey were taking the
census. The returns were most re
markable, in Ibe Allahabad census
thirty-live citizens described them
selves as 'men who rob with threats
of violence." There were 220 'flatter
ers for gain.' There were twenty-five
'heredllnry thieves.' There were twenty-nine
'bowlers at funerals.' Tbcro
were 1 15 "ear cleaners.' There were
seventy-six 'makers of crowns for
Idols.' There were fourteen 'heredi
tary painters of burses with spots.'
There were nine 'professional false
witnesses.'
"it seems remarkable, doesn't it?
Maybe, though, If we, too, told the
strict truth to the census taker our
own census would seem quite as qualut
as that of ludla."
Mathematics.
"Now, boys." said a schoolmaster,
"a cabuiau who drove at the rate of
six miles nn hour left Loudon, being
followed three mluutes later by auotb
er driver proceeding at tbe rate of

tbey meet?'
"At tbe nearest public house!" an
