Tho daughter of the former Mnyor

Ami now It Is thu Sultan of Johoro

Now that thu Doukhobors of Canada

"Father will gut everything In ad
vance, boys," little Alexander of Maco
lon used to say to his companions
when iiowb emtio of Philip's victories
'ho will not leavo any great tiuk for
me to slinro with you." Nevertheless,
is Alexander tho Urvnt, ho discovered
that his father had but touched tho
rim of achlovomeut. General William
llooth, fouuder of tho Salvutloit Army,
utands us one of tho striking figure of
tho Kuglluh-speaklug world; but In tho
tremendous light for good, for tho res
cue of the lower hulf of humanity, ho
luts not pre-empted tho Held. Ills dis
tinguished sous and daughters. In dif
ferent lauds under whatever banner,
uro carrying on what Is nt heart but
one great task lit which workers
throughout tho world nitty share.
A Japanese gentleman named Suglm
urn, living lit Hawaii, Is a great lover
of truth. Ono day ho caught Ids wife
In n lib. Ho wrote her a tender little
note, enclosing his little linger, which
bo had cut off with a meat ax, and tell
ing her that ho would cut off one linger
every day until she promised to quit
lying. That Is characteristic of tho
-Japanese, whose ways uro not our
ways. They are a gracious folk and
wise In their generation, But did the
wife tell any more fibs and did the bus'
band lose any more lingers? Certainly
a flngcrless husband would be a stand
ing reproach, to say nothing of his lack
of ability to make the wife a living.
Can you Imagine an American husband
making this sort of a vicarious atone
ment? Or an American wlfo cutting
off a finger every time the husband tclH
"a little lie" in business? In such a caso
the poor wife wouldprobably bo a hope
less cripple Inside of a week.
Tho growing public appreciation of
the value of the forest reserves, not
only for tho needed timber supplies of
tho future but for the preservation of
tho sources of rivers and streams, will
attract more than usunl Interest to the
work now being dono by tho general
land olllce In protecting these reserves
and the recommendations for their fur
ther preservation made In the report of
tho Laud Commissioner. On Oct. 1
there were fifty-four forest reserves,
embracing C0,17.ri,70T acres, an Increase
of almost 14,000,000 acres slnco the last
report. In the last llscal year 1,003
forest Arcs were discovered, which
burned over 87,700 acres. The con
stantly decreasing area burned over
appears to demonstrate tho elllclency
of tho government forestry forco and
fully warrants n moro extensive po
licing of the forested lands. -Tho Com
missioner shows that with the present
lutidequato forco the work has not only
proved self-supporting but has brought
rovenuo to tho government, that It has
placed needed timber supplies within
lawful reach of thu people and ban
practically stopped timber depreda
tions within the reserve limits. In
addition to urging a large Increase In
thu number of special agents to pro
vent timber depredations and to pro
tect public lands from unlawful entry
thu Commissioner recommends legisla
tion to protect game and llsh In forest
reserves, tho uxtenslon of tho boun
daries of Yellowstone Park, legislation
giving tho President authority to set
apart as national parks tracts of pub
lic laud having scientific or historic
Interest or containing medicinal
springs. Tho Commissioner also re
ports gratifying succi'ss In tho work of
reforestation of the denuded areas that
has been undertaken by the general
laud olllce.
Wu rush through life In such a hur
ry, theso days, that there Is llttlo tlmo
or thought for tho refinements nnd
courtesies that In tho good old days of
our grandparents were considered nec
essary to good manners. Tho man or
woman who has really good manners,
nowndays, wu distinguish as being of
the "old school." Unfortunately, the
old school Is passing uway, and them
Is no now school to tnko Its place. We
seem to bo drifting Into the Idea that
good manners aro a rather boresomu
and Indetlnablo something in tho way
of an affectation which wo may put on
with our best clothes for weddings,
parties and other such affairs, but not
to bo carried nlxnit with us on ordin
ary occasions. AVo have cut It out of
business hours. Wo have come to re
gard common courtesy as it time-consumer
and n waste. Rapid communi
cations havo corrupted good man
ners, for tho speed with which wu
can travel or transmit news has
aroused n uorvous Impatlenco of delay
which Is fatal to courtesy nnd manners
both In spirit ami form. Wo no longer
write tho good, long, warm, soul-satla-fylng
letters that were written In tho
old days. Formerly letters were digni
fied and Interesting, but now they aro
neither. Wo Imagine wo havo uo tlmo
to write elegantly and In a spirit of
Impatlenco wo scribble n few lines to
some friend when there Is no escapo
from tho painful necessity. And tho
letters of today show that their wrlh
lug Is n task, not it pleasure. Ouco
upon n time It was good manners to
hold old ago In reverence, but It Is not
so nny more. Whatever wo may actu
ally feel In tho heart, our attitude to
ward tho old Indicates that Instead of
regarding them with reverence wo con
slder ago a synonym for Incapacity and
boredom. Maybe wo mean all rlglif,
but our manners are such that we must
often cause bitter heartache In tho old,
who, bred In a different school, can In
terpret our thoughtless Inattentions
only as downright disrespect. It Is
an age of Ill-manners In both men and
women.
Tho Yoiiiik American Hplrlt.
Sooner or later tho young American
Is bound to Issue his own declaration
of Independence, but usually tho young
gentlemau-or lady, as tho caso may
be waits until ho has passed tho kin
dergarten stage before ho expresses
his determination to go and live his
own life, unrestrained by pareutul
rules.
Not so with n slender, blue-eyed
young gentleman, aged 4, who has Just
been Initiated Into tho delights of kin
dergarten life, A day or two after
his first experience In the wide, wldo
world his nearest and dearest feminine
relative having offended him in sumo
slight matter, tho young man declared
his Intention of leaving her aud golug
off and living by himself,
"People don't get aloug very well
who live by themselves," alio remarked
In answer; "something's likely to hap
pen." "Huhl" was tho contemptuous an
swer, "I can do It. I went to kinder
