It was hard for Oscar Krueger to talk today, for his faithful little wife, kneeling at his side, threw her arms about his neck and kissed him every time he started. lHs little son, Harold, perched on his knee, clung tightly to his father, as though fearing some unseen force would take him away again. For Oscar Krueger,' freed, after . a year's wrong Imprisonment, in Uncle Sam's' big prison house In Atlanta, is back again in the heart of his family, trying to forget. . A year ago a young woman received an impromptu letter, proposing an en gagement.

Krue ger, on his way to a savings bank to deposit his money, saw the girl. She smiled at Krueger. He smiled back. The girl spoke to him. Sne was not of the type of a girl who speaks to men on the streets, and Krueger, thinking she wished to ask a question, stopped. Im mediately he was arrested, charged with writing the lotter. His attorney did not think the carie a serious one and gave It little thought. The government, how ever, prepared such a strong circum stantial case that the Jury convicted Krueger without leaving the box. His wife and his sister took up his fight. Handwriting experts swore he could not have written the letter, de spite Comstock's story on the stand. Senators, representatives, politicians and lawyers were appealed 'Ho. The case was reopened and Krueger's inno cence proved. President Taft pardoned him. He reached New York today. T. T. Glenn. . (Spools! in Ths Jmirnil ) Bummervuie, Or., Jan.

In all between 150,000 and 200,000 acres have been de stroyed by the parasites, or at least rendered of little value. Knoii Could 8a Saved. Much of this timber could be saved, he thinks, If It could be marketed at once, but a great deal is In such In accessible places that private capital could not afford to build railroads to It The parasites do comparatively little damage to the yellow pine, but practi cally ruin the lodge pole variety, .
