FOREST PLANTING
Brunswick, Maine, a place of
about 7,000 inhabitants, is prob­
ably the first municipality in the
United Slai® to un isrtake forest
planting on a large scale, or what
is practically the Old World in-
sWiution of a town forest. The
town owns a tract of about 1,000
acres of what was once pine land,
but long since given over to fire
and huckleberries. Al a recent
meeting of the eoutz.L Sfin appro­
priation was made to improve this
land by planting it to while pine.
Seed will be purchased and a
nursery established to raise the
young trees. At the right age they
will be transplanted in rows and
set out in the [xtsitions they will
finally occupy, and will then re­
quire little more care except pro­
tection from fire.
The land at present is absolutely
unproductive. If the new plan is
successful it will not only be orna­
mental hut profitable. Town for-
eel» are common it Europe and
often furnish a large part of the'
municipal reveuue.

BATURDAY
TWO ROftCS.
A HARD CHARGE.
lorllend Wwkly Dispatch, May I.
One of the dirtiest political tr.cks
that has ever been perpetrated iu
Oregon was committed by the Re­
publican delegation to the state
convention from Lane county. The
delegation was instructed to vote
for Moorhead, of Junction City, for
joint state senator from Lane,
Douglas and Josephine counties.
At the command of the Mitchell
“push” this instruction was ignored
and not even as much courtesy
shown Mr. Moorhead as to give him
a complimentary vote from his own
county.
The Lane county delegation
should make a defense if the above
is not true. The veteran editor, A.
Noltner, is publisher of the Dis­
patch.
The old banter’s coon dog caught
them “a-onming and a>going.” The
Albany Republican paper oomea to
the aid of tbe Eugene representative
by contending that tbe 14.50 mill
tax levied by tbe Union oounty
court of Linn county is not
enough. And the Lane oounty
Republican
representative, tbe
Register, insistently oontends that
tbe 23.50 mills levied by the Lane
county Republican county court is
not too much. Tbe voters of Linn
and Lane counties will settle the
question the first Monday in June.
And it will not be in favor of high
taxation.
Portland Telegram: A few Re­
publican clubs manage to hold a
meeting and make a little showing
of interest occasionally, but so tar
no Democratic club hu eyen
peeped. It is a spiritless campaign.
The people of this lut pait of the
nineteenth century do not depend
on torchlight processions and
stump speeches for information.
Their sentiments are moulded by
the quiet, but powerful press, that
sends the arguments, pro and oon,
into the millions of homes where
they are digested in quiet and at
leisure. The newspaper hu taken
the place of the stump speaker.
As Dr. Kuykendall hu developed
into a newspaper writer of no small
proportions, and as he introduced
the resolution in the Republican
county convention instructing the
state delegates to support Editor
Moorbead for joint senator, and as
it is rumored that he advocated the
delegates disobeying said instruc­
tions, wouldn’t he be the proper
person to answer the charge made
by the Portland Weekly Dispatch
printed in today’s G uard .

Everybody said Lem Hooley would
succeed In life, and the confidence In
him was not Alsptoced, though the
stated reason for It wax not very sat­
isfying. He went up to San Francisco
to study law. Bung Town bet on hjm
because he was such a marvelous pis­
tol shot
At bottom no doubt the Bungles be­
lieved In Lem because they liked him
and wanted to hear good things of
him, a substantial basis of a prophecy,
since they might give him business up­
on his return if they wanted to. Again,
Lem was shrewd. Indeed, be was
tricky, “slick,'* the town said, laughing
the while, for while slickness was a
part Intolerable to weetera prejudice
it was acceptable when the trickster
was straightforward about It. A mer­
ry thief might tie a “good fellow;“ Ms
surly “pal" could go hang.
Lem had great luck. When he came
back, dressed in city clothes, he got a
case almost before he got down from
the stage.
"Sumpin's up,” said the driver as
they turned Into the main street
He pointed with his whip to an ex­
cited group of Bungles standing in
front of the store.

Thus they greyed him, and he drop­

shaken and to shake each hand. He
was glad.

“But what's up?" he asked.
The crowd turned, with a laugh, to
Cooley, the sheriff, who had a piece of
paper In bls hand.
"Cooley's got a warrant to serve,
and he’s a-skeered to serve It.”
“Skeered! Well, I guess not, not If
there were 60 greasers 'stead of 10. I'll
serve It all right.”
"Well, why don't you serve It, then?"
asked Lem merrily.
“Because I can't get a man with the
glxzard to ewear in as deputy to help
ma.”
“What do you want help for?"
"There's ten of them over there.” He
pointed to a greaser shanty across the
street “Wifi you go along?"
“What's been done, anyhow?"
"Greaser Ike shot Yellow Mike, you
remember, who used to ten I bur In the
dance hall, and the Mexicans in the
county Is bound to see him out of the

“I don’t see much In that,” said Ix-m.

"The old rule of eight hours' sleep Is
sheer nonsense,” said a New Orleans
physician. "Natural sleep Is something
that can't be regulated by any formula
The body takes what it needs, be Ml
much or little, and the necessary
amount varies with the individual. In
a general way I would say that four
hours Is the minimum and ten hours
the maximum for people in fair health.
Either uk Q or less is a pretty sure
sign that something Is out of gear—
usually someTrilng in the brain.
"I have two patients who sleep only
four hours and keep in tolerably good
condition. Both are middle aged men,
and neither iQthetn works very hard.
They are simply so constituted that
nature can repair Its losses In four
hours of unconsciousness. In many
other people nearly three times as long
is required. The nerve cells work
more slowly; why, nobody knows.
“The queerest ease that everG^wie
uuder my personal observation was
that of a bookkeeper of tilts city who
used to sleep two or three hours a
night through the week and on Sun­
day would catch up In a 20 hour nap.
That is no exagération, but an actual
fact well known to all his Intimates.
He see-med to be able to store away

The Crescent.
The origin of the Turkish crescent Is
lost in antiquity. As the emblem of
progress and Increase It figures In the
warship of Astarte, the chief goddess
of the rbmnlclan I'antheon, wKb un
xloaa
_ 1 v. by . . ev­
tier various names was adored
ery Semitic race. It Is not. therefore,
surprising that the crescent should be
the chosen emblem of a conquering and
spreading people. The hordes of Gen­
ghis Khan carried It on their banners
from the great wall of China to the
Indus and the Volga In the thirteenth
century, yet these were Mongols and
enemies of the very people with whom
the crescent Is generally associated.
The Ottoman Turks, who first got
lands tn Asia as a reward for assisting
the Seljuks against the Mongols, seem
from the first arrival in these regions
to have displayed the well known sym­
bol. It appeared on the banners of the
janissaries of the Sultan Orkhan. in
the fourteenth century, and subse­
quently the crusades fixed It in the
eyes of Christendom as the counter
emblem to the cross It Is sometimes
held that the Turks borrowed the cres­
cent from the Byzantine Greeks, but
this is evidently not the ease. On the
contrary, the Greeks had probably at
an early period adopted it with other
religious symbols and Ideas from the
east.
