THE PRESS.
I am a king, 'a paradox, a fiend;
Tlio world's great pulse, the life-blood of its trade;
A hell of vice, a shrine where nuns have prayed;
A sesame to all that craft has screened.
I am the Proteus of the teeming earth,
Minerva-born and offspring of the pen,
A mighty school house for the minds of men,
A messenger of love and death and birth.
Ah, mine the power no mortal can suppress!
I am your slave command me If you care
I am your master spurn me If you dare! .
Let emperors homage pay I am the Press.

ATTRACTIONS OF ROYALTY
It would bo interesting to ascertain the motives which
prompted so many persons in New York to apply for splinters of
the "King's Oak" in Central Park, which was chopped down
the other day. It was planted by King Edward, when he was
still Prince of Wales, with small prospect of ever ascending the
throne. The royal tree did not thrive well in the Republican
soil and became so decayed that it was considered unsafe to let
it stand. It was cut down after a thorough examination had
been made. The splinters and small branches were burned,
while the trunk and larger branches were put aside to be divided
up among the numerous historical societies of Greater New
York. . Since then such an avalanche of requests for chips and
splinters from the "King's Oak" has poured in upon the park au
thorities that its members sincerely regret the recklessness of
the gardeners who ruthlessly destroyed the valuable fragments
of the royal tree.
The extraordinary demand for such fragments can scarcely
be attributed entirely to the fact that souvenir-hunting is an ex
tremely popular fad. It is quite possible that a majority of the
requests came from that numerous class of Americans in New
York whose greatest ambition in life seems to be to become con
nected with royalty, or at least with nobility, be it by marriage
or a chip of rotten wood.
and Mrs. London liad with Pacific cannibals, recently cabled

We assume that the Anderson (Ind.) lady who asks for a
divorce because her husband only gave her 25 cents between
April and November is actuated by the laudable desire to prove
that all American women are not extravagant.
It does not necessarily follow that war is expected because
the naval authorities have decided to change the color of our
warships from white to drab they may be only trying to cut
down the paint bills.
STILL HAVE RIGHTS LEFT
Tho New York Court of Appeals rendered an important
docision recently ' which has qaused considerable comment
throughout the country. The decision is to the effect that ev
ery person, irrespective of sex, color, nationality or creed has
proprietary rlght3, to his or her own face, which cannot be in
fringed upon or violated with impunity. This decision caused
general surprise, as nobody ever suspected the existence of
such a right. The fact that thousands of persons in all walks of
life do not even own their soul is so generally known that it was
naturally surprising to hear from good authority that there is
really something not owned by the trusts, but by the individual
citizens. The people of New York are in great luck.
"We are now outtlng timber from the forests of the United
States at the rate of 500 feet board measure a year for every
man, woman and child. In Europe they use only 60 board feet."
Few statements could be made which would better convince the
average man that this country leads' the world in its demand
for timbor. It is made by Treadwell Cleveland, Jr., in a circular
which treats of the conservation of the forests, soil, water, and
all the other great natural resources, which has just been pub
lished by the United States Forest Service. In speaking further
of the consumption of timber in this country Mr. Cleveland says:
"At this rate, in less than thirty years all our remaining virgin
timber will be out. Meantime the forests which have been cut
over are very gonerally in a bad way for want of care ; they will
produce only inforior second growth. We are clearly over the
verge of a timbor famino."
Tho National applo show, which is to be hold at Spokane,
December 7-12, is gaining so much in sizo and importance that
the promotors are beginning to got wrinkles in their foreheads
for fear it will get beyond them. There is $35,000 offered in
premiums alone, and this is the largest amount ever offered in
premiums at a specialty show in the West. Every person that
has ever eaten aioapple, or expects to, is invited and urged to
attend.
In testifying to the temperate habits of Mrs. Howard ould
a Mr. Sells, who is her cousin, said he had nevr seen her drink
more than one cocktail before dinner, a pint of champagne dur
ing the meal and two cordials after it; also that he had never no
ticed any unsteadiness in her gait or sgj-ech. That was a sell
for somebody all right. q

It is regarded as highly probable
that the large anthracite mining con
cerns will adopt the idea of provid
ing educational facilities for their
employes, giving practically every
mine worker in the anthracite region
the opportunity to learn. The door
to promotion will thus be thrown
open to the humblest toiler. One of
the effects of the plan, the mining
officials think, will be to lessen the
number of accidents in the mines,
which in most cases are due to the
Ignorance as well as the carelessness
of the workers.
