A Boomerang. * know a Germau editor,” sald a sewspaper wan, “who found himself ane night when the paper was about to go to press without any editorials. What was he to do? It was too late to write any himself, too late to have any written. Like a flash an inspira- tion came to him, and, dipping his pen, he wrote hurriedly: wepfter carefully reading the edl- torials written for the morning's issue by four of the ablest and most bril- liant members of our staff we have come to the conclusion that they might be misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack on the gov- ernment. We ourselves consider them perfectly innocent, but as we bave no desire to see our newspaper confiscated we have very unwillingly, though, as we think, prudently, resolved to with- hold the articles In question. This must serve as an apology to our read- ers for a blank editorial page.’ “Imagine this editor's shock when his secretary telephoned him the next morning that the paper had been con- fiscated. « ‘But—but on what ground? the ed- itor gasped. « «For malicious ridicule of the gov- ernmental authorities by the omission of the editorials.’ "—Los Angeles Times. Pet Poisoning a Trade. “Every town has its pet polsoner if you know where to find him,” said a druggist. “These men keep my stock of alkaloids on the move. There is a demand for the pet poisoner. Suppose your favorite dog breaks his back. What a relief, then, to summon the pet poisoner and have the animal slain without pain. Cats and birds, dogs and even fish come within the prov- ince of the pet poisoner. He charges usually a dollar a case, but if you are rich he won't object to charging you $5 or $10. Some folks in their wills leave directions that their pet dogs or cats be poisoned, fearing that the animals would find life too harsh and sad after their loving owners’ decease. Some folks, too, if they are going away for a long time—making a tour of the world, say—have their pets poisoned rather than trust them to servants possibly careless. Mistaken kindness I call such doings, and that, I bet, 1s what the pets call it too.”—Cincinnati Enquirer, “Either” and “Neither.” There are two or three things about these two words that one should re- member. In the first place, they should never be used in connection with more than two things—as: “It was elther Tuesday or Wednesday,” not “either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday;” “it was neither Tuesday nor Wednesday,” not “neither Tuesday, Wednesday nor Thursday.” Then, either should not be used in the sense of each, as “they walked on. one on either side of the rond.” It should be one on ‘*‘each” side of the road. The third caution is about the pronunciation. Some per- sons insist that they should be pro- nounced “i-ther” and “ni-ther,” with the “I” long. But this is more an af- fectation perhaps than anything else. The best authorities agree that the right pronunciation is “e-ther” and “ne-ther.”—New York World. “Pinched.” The humor of school and college ex- aminations is perennial. One speci- men was contributed by one of the high schools where a girl in the de- partment of history was required to write a brief sketch of Queen Eliza- beth. Her paper when turned in was found to contain the following sen- tence: “Elizabeth was so dishonest that she stole her soldiers’ food.” The teacher who conducted these examina- tions was puzzled to know just whence this particular information had perco- lated into the girl's mind. So, calling her up, she asked the question. Why,” was the ready answer, “that's just what it says in the history.” The book was sent for and the pas- sage examined. It was found to read, “Elizabeth was so parsimonious that she pinched her soldiers’ ration.”— Bookman. A Curious Rescue. Two officers hunting wolves on the Dry mountain, in central Servia, lost their way in a fog. After wandering for tourteen hours one of them lay down in the snow and speedily became unconscious. His comrade bound him with cords, placed him in a sitting po- sition and then rolled him down the mountain. He glided down the slope at terrific speed and reached the bottom safely, being found an hour later in an exhausted condition by a peasant. Man and Plants. M. Camille Saint-Saens says: “I do not pretend to adduce irrefragable evi- dence in support of my theory that man began his earthly career as a plant. I do maintain, however, that an impartial examination of my theory must allow that my assumption and hypotheses are sufficiently plausible to be considered justifiable.” Keeps Him High Strung. “The manager always keeps back a portion of the villain's salary.” “Why does he do that—afraid he'd skip?” “No, but he always acts his part bet- ter when he's mad.”"—St. Louis Globe- Democrat.

That the identity of the man who killed Campbell of Glenure on May 14, 1752, should still be handed down from father to son a solemn trust among a few members of the Stewart clan is one of the curiosities of history: The mute trees know who fired that shot, But the secret well they're keeping. The highlunders refused it to Rob- ert Louis Stevenson. Andrew Lang says that, like Willlam of Deloraine, “he knows, but may not tell” Mr. Mackay, the author of this most com- plete and interesting account of the crime and trial, ieaves us a little doubt- ful whether he is among the initiated. “1 should be the last,” he writes, “to make public a secret that has been sc well kept. [Its antiquity makes it sa- cred.”—London Spectator. What He Would Deo. An individual applied to the ead company for a situation. “Do you know how to drive?’ “Yes, sir.” “You know that you must be polite with all your passengers?” “Ah “And honest.

There is a group of men at Washington who seem to be bending every agency to handicap the efforts of the President and of Gifford Pinchot, Chief Forester, and of the good Americans who are backing them up, to make farther additions to the pa- tional forests. Last winter what is known as the Appalachian Forest Bill was passed successfully until it reached Speaker Can- non, of the Honse, who killed it. Why be did so he has not been able satisfac- torily to explain; but, at all events, in so doing he lost the respect of those who hitherto had believed in his loyalty to American farm interests. This winter the Appalachian Bill is com- ing ap again, and, if the farm interests of this country are to be served, every one of those interested must get huey, and get busy at once. Now, this bill provides for making a national forest of an area which not only includes seventy-five million acres of hardwood, but also includes the wooded distriots on the head waters of streams which supply several of the most valuable agrionltural regions within the Appalachian State group I bave already pamed. Last season, just after Speaker Cannon had kill- ed the first bill, a disastrous flood visited the cut-over region of this section, almost as if Providence bad thought to visit upon us a swift, practical lesson, while the sub. ject was on every tongue, of the barm which comes to regions that are dependent on their farming interests and have not bad sense enough to keep their forests. Do we need another ? Sit down at once and let your Represent. ative and your Senator know how feel on this subject. Make them understand that you expeot them so use their influence and their votes for the people. It enough of you write the day will be won. And America needs all of ite forests for the people, and all of its water for the crops. —*Fair-Play.”’ — Say, ma,” inquired an anxious dad, ‘‘what ever's the matter with Grace.
