and fancies be not destroyed. Dis
illusionment it seems, brings sad
ness with fuller understanding. It is
not always pleasant to know too
much.
The child who bollovcs that a be
nign old gentlemen on Christmas
Eve comes from the far north with
presents for the world is happy in
that belief, erroneous though It is.
The child, too, 'learns through this
myth that there Is much that is
worthwhile and comforting to be
found in giving to make others
happy.
A stroll through the woods In
childhood meant more than it does
now. Every tree was inhabited by
ii wood nymph. Every flower was
the home of a good lntentloned
fairy. Elfs and goblins were all
about. One only had to possess
very sharp eyes to Bee them.
And In childhood everything was
good. There was no evil. Kind-
Forests vitally affect human hap
piness. They Insure moisture sup
ply and crop production. They guar
antee abundant food. Therefore, if
we would avoid misery, drouth, crop
failure, and lack of food, we must
conserve the wooded areas.
t How can forests play any part in
.man's happiness and prosperity?
How can woods insure crop produc
tion? Forests husband moisture. Trees
and other vegetation such as shrubs
and vines and grass reach out and
pull the rain into the soil. Wher'o
trees grow tho soil is looso. Rain
can and does penetrate. Checked lu
its race to tho sea, duo to tho im
peding methods of wooded aroa3,
the moisture runs off slowly, most
of iHromulnlng until crops need it.

When history first begins to ro

NEW YORK, April 30. The most
Interesting events in New York, if
one only has time to- stick through
them are the Pawnbrokers' auction
3ales, held annually, down on the Bow
ery. One was on last week, and I
went in for half an hour, listening
to the beauties of horse-shoe diamond
scarf-pins and monogrammed cigar
ette cases. Then I got my thrill. A
square picture frame was put up, con
taining a wood earving of the Lord's
prayer. And the auctioneer told its
history. On a cold, blizzardy night,
twelve years ago, Julius Michaels
was just about to close his pawnshop
on Second Avenue, when a poorly
dressed man came in with this carving
and its frame. Michaels lent him 82
on it, and he told the pawnbroker that
he had made it in prison, devoting
several years to the work. Every year
the interest came on the day it was
due. Once a letter accompanied it.
apologizing for its being late and ex
plaining that the sender wus in Joliet
prison. Then two-years' silence; and
Chen a letter from Sing Sing asking,
that it bo kept for him until he could
redeem it. That was seven years ago,
and no further word had been receiv
ed from the "4nan who thought so
much of this one thing in his life that
he tried to cling to it through every
thing. At last' the pawnbroker could
not wait any longer and it was auc
tioned off.
There is a motley looking crowd on
Broadway around Times Squaro these
days. Some movie director gave out
the suggestion that "character" peo
ple could make a more convincing invH
prcssion if they created "atmosphere"
for themselves by dressing their chos
en parts all the time. They'd ,got in
the habit then of really being a "rube"
or a sailor or whatever else thev
chose. So along the Rialto they stroll,
and in the white-tabled restaurants of
the district they abound; long whlsK
ered, big-hat ted farmers; monocled,
cane-carrying "Englishmen," and all
the rest of the stock character parts.
Let this he mentioned, though; it's
only men you see in such regalia and
make-up. Never does a character
