JUST COMMON POLKS,
If only sweetest bells were rung
Ilow we should miss the minor chimes
I'f only grandest poets sung,
Therc'd be no simple little rhymes;
The modest clinging vine adds grace
To all the forest's giant oaks,
And 'mid earth's mighty is a place
To people with just common folks.
Not they the warriors who shall win
Upon the battlefield a name
To sound the awful din;
Not theirs the painter's deatWess fame;
Not theirs the poet's muse that rings
The rhythmic gift his soul Invokes;
Theirs lint to do the simple things
That duty gives just common folks.
Fate has not lifted them above
The level of the human plane;
They share with nieu a fellow love
In touch with pleasure and with pain.
One great, far-reaching brotherhood,
With common burdens, common yokes,
And common wrongs and common good—
God's urmy of just common folks.
An Unconscious Matchmaker.
OO tell me, old fellow, how on
earth It is possible for such a
metamorphosis to have taken
place. Not a month ago we sat here,
two hardened bachelors, determined to
remain so to the end of our days, and
now 1 find you transformed into a most
devoted husband."
A hearty laugh was the Immediate
answer to this outburst, and Dr. Tren
ton, to whom it was addressed, took a
puff at his pipe before replying.
"Well, you see, Jim," lie said, "I
thought It would be fun to surprise you
thoroughly for once. Hut Delia shall
tell you the story, and you may be sur
prised to learn that you yourself, un
consciously, I admit, made up the
match."
"I suppose it is for penance. Will,
that I am to narrate my own mistakes
and misdeeds to Mr. Allison. Two
months ago I was a stupid little coun
try girl. My eldest brother had sent
for me to keep his house. Our parents
have been dend many years and I had
lived with an aunt. Henry, my brother,
had written me that it would be Impos
sible for him to meet me at the depot,
and that 1 should drive to the Tudor
Flats, where he was living ou the
fourth lioor. My poor brain was cer
tainly in a whirl after my long drive
through the noisy streets. When I ar
rived at the Tudor Flats I walked
bravely up the stairs.
"I know you will laugh at me dread
fully. Mr. Allison, but you must remem
ber that I had never before seen so
many stairs. In my Ignorance I was
unaware that the entresol does not
count; therefore, when 1 arrived at a
lauding where a door was ajar and an
old man servant replying to an Inquirer
the the doctor would not be home until
2 o'clock, I naturally concluded that I
had reached my journey's end, for my
brother also bears the title doctor. To
old .Tames' astonishment I walked
calmly in, saying:
" "The doctor expects me. Please have
my luggage seen to.'
" 'Hut, miss, I don't know,' he ven
tured, "I have the strictest orders never
to allow any one to enter my master's
study during his absence.'
" 'I am the doctor's sister, and he him
self arranged my coining,' I answered,
condescendingly.
"With that he admitted me, mutter
ing: 'Never heard about a sister,' Into
the smoky, dusty apartments, which I
assumed to be my brother's.
"Much to James* consternation, I set
to work and dusted furniture and
books, spread a clean cloth on the table,
and prepared a lunch (though James in
formed me 'Master never eats at home')
of fresh butter, home-made bread,
cheese, ham and apples; then decorated
the room with roses and honeysuckle
brought from home.
"To pass away the time, I took up a
book nnd began to read. A note fell out
of this Irnok. My eyes fell on the first
words and my attention was Instantly
attracted. It was slgued Charlie Alli
son, nnd read:
" 'Dear Old Man: So you have decided
to install that awful creature In your
house, though you acknowledge that all
hopes of peace and comfort of your life
will be gone. My dear fellow, do be ad
vised and give up this preposterous
idea. At any rate, don't be surprised if
I cut your acquaintance for the present,
and leave you to enjoy the company of
Miss Delia. Your friend,
"CHAUME ALLISON."
"My dear lady," Interrupted Charlie,
"you (lou't mean to say—lt Uil't possible
that any misunderstanding arose out of
that? My dislike and "
"I do ineau to say so," she replied,
laughing; "It was quite possible—in
deed, natural—l should assume that
those words referred to me. I was at
first highly Indignant and then began
1o cry. My resolution was soon formed;
1 would go away at once and not ever
see the heartless brother who had dis
cussed me In such a maimer before my
rival.
"Whilerepacklngmy bag I came upon
a photograph of myself. A sudden im
pulse made me write a few words on
the buck of it and leave it on the table.
Then 1 heard steps outside. It was
Henry. 1 thought. He should not ttud
me there. Seeing the door of a small
room open, I slipped in and dosed It
behind uie."
"bet me tell the rest," interrupted the
doctor; "I fancied I was dreaming as
I became aware of the Invitingly sprt ail
tablo; then I noted two covers laid as
if for a delightful tete-a-tete, and upon
my napkin a photograph of the sweet

was written under It:

RUSHING INTO THE CITIES.
Young Men Invite Fuilurc by E»ay
in«r Unirie I Fields.
Some published fragments of the new
census statistics are very depressing to
the old-fashioned, yet very sensible,
people who have been hoping that the
movement of villagers and country peo
ple to the large cities had been checked.
What is the meaning of the continu
ous rush to the cities? The old expla
nation was that farmers' sons and
daughters wearied of work that was
never finished; they had heard of city
demands for labor and of city wages,
payable always in cash and at stated
dates. They had also heard of city
pleasures, some of which were said to
cost nothing, while others were very
cheap. Hut young people do not con
stitute the whole body of people who
are crowding into the cities, for me
chanics and artisans of all kinds are In
the throng, for In the villages and coun
try districts employment is irregular
and pay uncertain. The more aspir
ing of them hope for the larger oppor
tunities and recognition that the coun
try dares not promise; they know, too,
that such of their children as Incline to
study may become fairly, even highly,
educated In the city without special
cost to their parents. Of the "seamy"
side of city life they know nothing,
for their acquaintances who "went to
town" have not returned to tell of It;
few of them could return If they would.
The few who go back to the old home
steads are the men who have succeed
ed, and In any village such a man In
effect resembles a gold-laden miner
from Cape Nome or the Klondike—his
example threatens to depopulate the
town.
Nevertheless the rural districts are
not going to be depopulated, except
when their soil Is very poor and their
malaria overrlch. A country ward
movement started In some cities a few
years ago and It hns been Increasing In
volume, It may be almost Invisible In
some localities, for 3,000,000 square
miles Is an area so great that any city's
overflow might be lost In It. The men
who are trying scientific farming are
all from the cities and they have car
ried their city Ideas with them. As a
rule, city brain and city money are
suggesting and backing the rural at
tempts to have good roads, pure wat
er, perfect drainage, high farming,
high-grade schools, free libraries and
many other ameliorations of old-time
conditions. Yet In one respect the city
man In the country is a disappointment
to all classes of the dissatisfied, for
when they talk of going to the city he
persistently says, "Don't," ami he sup
ports his advice with a dismal array
of facts and figures.—Saturday Even

DESTROY BIG TREES.
CALIFORNIA GIANTS ARE RUTH
LESSLY CUT DOWN.
Necennry Waste of Lumber Inn Mn n« ■

Department Demun I 1 lint liirorts He
Made to Save Few Kciuaiiiinic Grove*.
! Gilford Piuchot, United States fores
ter, lias issued a pamphlet concerning
the big trees of California which has
| created no little comment through its
endeavors to state clearly and emphat
ically the necessity for the preservation
|of the California mammoths. The
writer protests against the rate at
i which the big trees are being destroyed
! by private owners, pointing out clearly
that the chances of a renewal of the
wonder growths are to be little consid-
I ered.
"Most of the scattered groves of big
trees are privately owned and, there
fore, in danger of destruction," he

writes. "Lumbering is rapidly sweep
ing them off; forty mills and logging
companies are now at work wholly or
in part upon big tree timber. The
southern groves show some reproduc
tion, through which there is hope of
! perpetuating those groves. In the
northern groves the species hardly
holds its own."
In introducing a history of the big
trees, with facts concerning each of the
groves now existing, the writer says:
] "At the present time the only grove
thoroughly safe from destruction is the
Mariposa and this is far from being the
most interesting. Most of the other
groves are either in process of or in
danger of being logged. The very finest
of all, the Calaveras grove, with the

ticaliy all the literary aud scientific as
sociations of the species connected with
It, has been purchased recently by a
lumberman, who came Into full posses
sion on the Ist of April, 1000.
"The Sequoia and General Grant Na
tional parks, which are supposed to em
brace aud give security to a large part
of the remaining big trees, are eaten
Into by a sawmill each and by private
timbering claims amounting to a total
of 1,172,870 acres. The rest of the
scanty patches of big trees are In a fair
way to disappear—ln Calaveras, Tuo
lumue, Fresuo and Tulare counties,
they are now disappearing—by the ax.
In brief, the majority of the big trees
of California, certainly the best of
them, are owned by people who have
every right and In many cases every
Intention, to cut them Into lumber."
i elentitte Value of Bis Trees.
Further along these same lines the
value of the big tree Is thus considered:
"The big trees are unique In the world
—the grandest, the oldest, the mast ma
jestically graceful trees—aud if It were
not enough to be all this, they are
; among the scarcest of kuown tree spe
i cles and have the extreme scientific vol
| ue of belug the best living rcpresentu
! tives of a former geologic age. They
i are trees which have come down to us
through the vicissitudes of many cen
turies solely because of their superb
qualifications. The bark of the big tree
Is often two feet thick aud almost uon
coiubustlble. The oldest specimens
felled are still sound at the heart and
: fungus Is an enemy unknowu to it. Vet
| with all these means of maintenance
the big trees have apparently not In
creased their range since the glacial
j epoch. They have only just managed
to hold their own on a little strip of
: country where the climate Is locally fa
i vorable."
Everyone who Is Interested In the big
trees, as everyone must be either from
curiosity, a natural love of the forest
or for scientific reasons, must deplore
tlie destruction of these forests. Every
: one who has visited a forest in any part
■ of the world will regret the destruction
of these Jungles of beauty. Every
thoughtful American Is waking to a
realization of tlie criminal carelessness
with which the forests of this country
have been wiped out. The lumbering
| of the big trees, with Its accompanying
I waste and devastation, seems a partlc
j ularly unnecessary and almost Immoral
proceeding.
Forester Plnchot says of It: "Tbe
lumbering of the big tree la destructive
Ito a most unusual degree. la the first
plncc, the mormon* s!w> nnd welfht of
ttit* tree* necessarily entails very con
siderable breakage when one of them

lhott*nnils «>f tons, so that even slight
I tH-i |mi 111 les lire suHlelcnt to smash the
brittle trunk lit Its upper extremity Into
almost useless fragments. Ihe loss
from this cause Is great, but It Is only
one or the sources of waste. The great
diameter <>r the logs, ami, In spite of the
lightness of the wood, their enormous
weight make It Impossible to handle
tliein without breaking them up. I'or
this purpose gunpowder Is the most
available mentis. The fragments of
logs blown apart la this way are not
only often of wasteful shapes, but un
less very nice Judgment Is exercised in
preparing the blast a great deal of
wood Itself Is scattered In useless splin
ters."
"At the mill, where waste Is the rule
in the manufacture of lumber In the
United States, the big tree makes no
exception. This waste, added as It Is
to the other sources of loss already men
tioned, makes a total probably often
considerably in excess of half the total
volume of the standing tree, and this Is
only one side of the matter.
"The big tree stands as a rule In n
mixed forest, composed of many spe
cies. The result of sequoia lumbering
upon this forest Is almost ruinous. The
destruction caused by the fall of enor
mous trees is In Itself great, but the
principal sourse of damage Is the im
mense amount of debris left on the
ground—the certain source of future
tires. This mass of broken branches,
trunks and bark. Is often live or six or
more feet In thickness and necessarily
gives rise to tires of great destructive
power, even though the big tree wood is
not specially inflammable. The devas
tation which follows this lumbering is
as complete and deplorable as the un
touched forest Is unparalleled, beauti
ful and worthy of preservation. As a
rule It has not even had the advantage
of being profitable. Very much of this
appalling destruction has been done
without leaving the owners of the big
tree ns well off as they were before It
began."
Perles of Pamphteta to Be Issued.
The pamphlet which was published
by the forestry division of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Is one of a series
which will be Issued in behalf of the
big trees. The report was prepared for
the Information of the Senate Commit
tee on Public Lands, which was at the
time considering tlie preservation of the
Calaveras and Stanislaus big tree
groves. It Is the first document on the
subject which has ever been published
by the government, strange as the fact
may seem. Prof. \V. It. Dudley, of
Stanford University, who aided with
the work, l's now preparing a more de
tailed account of the big trees and the
big tree groves, which will be published
by the government forestry office. The
pamphlet now out contains an excellent
map of the forests of California, con
taining big trees, together with a de
tailed account of each of the larger
groves.

When the man with the red mustache

the door and called him back.
"Donald," she said, "I want you to

a saw. Don't forget it, please. We need
one lindly."
being an accommodating person, the
man with the red mustache said he'd
get It. He chose I lie luncheon hour a*
the most opportune time for making his
simple purchase. He was in a good
humor and smiled blandly when he
went bustling into the store and said,
"I want a saw, please."
The clerk who had come forward to
wait on him had a merry twinkle In his
eye, and the twinkle overflowed at the
question and spread all over his face
In dimples.
"What kind of a saw?" he asked.
The prospective purchaser began to
perceive what au intricate business the
buying of a saw really Is.
"Why," snid he, "I don't know. Just
a saw. Any kind will do, I suppose."
The clerk sighed. "If you only knew
wlint you want to use it for, perhaps
1 could advise you," he suggested,
"What I want to use it for?" echoed
the limn with the red mustache. "Why,
1 want to saw, of course. At least, my
folks do."
"Saw what?" asked the clerk.
"1 don't know," admitted the non
plussed shopper.
The clerk brightened up again and
led the way to the rear of the store.
"1 will show you a few of the different
varieties of saws we have on hand,"
he said. "Observation and an explana
tion of their uses and prices may assist
you in making a decision. Here's a
metal saw. It Is the hardest saw there
Is. It Is made of highly tempered steel
and will saw Iron, copper, lead and all
manner of metals. It Is small In size
nnd sells for $2 to .$'2.50. according to the
style of the handle, which comes In
beechwood and oak, tlie latter being
more expensive. Is that the kind of saw
you want?"
The man with the red mustache was
sorely perplexed. "No," said he, "I
don't think so. We have no metals at
our house to work on, that I know of."
j "Perhaps you would like a meat
saw?" suggested the clerk. "Steel In
those is of hardly so high a grade, and
I could let you have a good one for a
dollar. But you're not a butcher?"
! The man who wanted a saw shook
his head mournfully and the clerk coa
j tinned.
"There Is a regular kitchen saw for
general utility purposes, which will
cost you only 50 cents. How does that
| strike you? No? Then here's the cab
inetmaker's saw. I can give you a very
I gocd one for $3. Then I have over here
' plumbers' saws, the fine delicate saws
i used by all manner of artificers, and
; the ordinary wood saws which will cost
i you anywhere from 50 cents to $4. In
that hack room we iinve still other va

I want to pay a big price you'd better

Our Overftirnlahed Homes.

Ilut with comfort we should stop. Then
we are on the safe side. But we get on

beyond. Not one-tenth of the things

should be an Infinitely happier and
healthier people If the nine-tenths were
taken out of our lives. It is astonishing
how much we can do without, and be a

It doesn't require much to test this gos
pel of wisdom. We need only to be nat

selves. Then we are simple. It Is only

our homes are cluttered up as they are,
