In the process of redistricting the| national -forests, which has just been completed, numerous changes of name were made. These changes were by no means haphazard or arbitrary. The new names have been choseun on account of-their importance in local and national history, and they will serve for all time as reminders of men and events prominently connected with the country’s progress. from the pioneer dfys. 2Arerely to read them understandingiy is to trace the salient facts of western growth and development. The national forests in New Mexico, with the significance and derivation of their names, are as follows: The Alamo National forest is named from Fort Alamo, which received its ‘mame from the old Alamo mission of Texas. This fort is the site of the most memorable battle which has ever been fought on Texas soil, being the altar on which William R. Travis, Davy Crockett, James Bowie, J. B. Bonham and their heroic companions ‘offered up their lives in the cause of liberty and popular government. The name Alamo signifies “cottonwood’” or “poplar,” and was probably given it by the troops quartered there who come from Fort Alamo de Parras, in the province of Coahuila, to which province Texas was annexed. This forest includes 1,164,906 acres, and is under the supervision of Acting Suervisor Arthur M. Neal, with headquarters at Alamogordo. The Carson National forest takes its name from the city, pass, lake, river and valley in Nevada, all of which -were named after the Rocky mountain guide, Kit Carson, one of the most picturesque figures of western history. His early life was spent on the plains, where he met Gen. John C. Fremont: by whom he was engaged as suide in subsequent explorations. In this capacity he was eminently useful and to him is probably due much of the success of these .explorations. He was perhaps better known to a Jarger number of :Indian tribes than any other white nman, and from his long life among them learned their habits and customs, understood their mode of warfare and spoke their lan- _ guage as his mother tongue. No man did more than he in furthering the settlement of the northwestern wilderMess. .

The Chiricahua National forest is named from the Chiricahua Apaches, who were one of the most warlike branches of all the Apache nation. They made their home in the depths of what is now the Chiricahua forest, and the Cochise strongholds where Cochise, their greatest warrior of mogern times, for years defied the white man, is an important point for sightseers in the region. The word means “mountain” or “lawless,” that is, “Indians living in the mountains and having little respect for the white man’s laws.” This forest includes 466,497

acres and is in charge of Acting Supervisor- A. H. Zachau, with headquarters at Douglas, Ariz.

CHANGE FOR A DOLLAR

In fhe midst of the speaking, shouting and voting at a recent political convention one of the ragged newsboys in the big hall was seen trying to attract the attention of the chairman. He was a little fellow, and his appealing eyes were about on a level with the floor of the platform. At first no one took any notice Pt him, because no one saw him, but presently his persistence and the earnestness of his gaze compelled remark. The chairman stepped to the edge of the stage, and said, “What is it; sony?” For reply the lad offered a grimy ‘fisttul of something. There was a whispered consultation between the two, and then the chairmas, reaching down, vanked the little fellow right up on the platform. The hall grew sflent, expecting some joke or other. “Gentlemen,”- sai@ the chairman, “here’s a boy i trouble. Some omne R e ‘gfijfiifi

The Datil National forest derives its name from a large mountain spur of the Rockies called the “Datils.” There is no certain knowledge of the meaning of the word. It has by some been suppesed to be the Spanish word meaning the fruit of the date palm, and various other explanations have been given as to its origin. "One of the most pr:Eable is that it is an Apache Indian- word, because there are several words similar to it in the Apache language. This forest includes 1,848,915 acres and is in charge of Acting Supervisor R. F. Balthis, with headquarters at Magdalena. The Gila National forest is named from the county in Arizona and the river in Arizona and New Mexico.’ The name is said to be of Spanish origin, but the meaning is lost. The area of this forest is 1,762,621 acres. Supervisor W. H. Goddard is in charge, with headquarters at Silver City. . The Jemez National forest takes its name from the Jémez river, which derived its name from a division of North American Indiaes who occupied the pueblo of Jemez on tnis river. Supervisor Ross McMillan is in charge of this forest, with headquarters at Santa Fe. The area included is 978, 720 acres. Y : Lincoln county, which was named after Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth pres. ident of the Uniged States, gives the name to the Lincoln National forest. Supervisor|J. H. Kinney is in charge of thi§ forest, with headquarters at Capitan. The area included is 596,603 acres. :

The Magdalena National forest is named from the mountains of that name. When the early Spanish explorers arrived in the region of what is now called the Magdalena mountains they saw in the distance upon one of the isolated buttes a striking representation of a woman'’s face, and with their simple religlous enthusiasm they named it the “Mountain of Our Lady Magdalene.” On closer examination the womag's face proves to be a rock formation. At the back of the head a -dense growth of oak brush makes a good substitute for hair. At a distance the face and features are almost perfect. The area included in this forest is 558,445 acres. Supervisor John Kerr is in charge, with headquarters at Magdalena. The Manzano mountains give the name to the Manzano National for est. This range of mountains is called the Manzano, from the Spanish word meaning “apple.” In the heart of the Manzano mountains there are several very old and -extremely large apple trees near the site of an old ruined mission. They were probably planted by some of the earlier priests who ex: plored the country in either the fifteenth or sixteenth century. These, trees are now surrounded by a fence, and every effort is being made by the people of that vicinity to preserve them because of their great age and historical associations. *

It was a good-natured crowd so long as politics was not the issue; it was also a typically American crowd in its readiness to show its sentiments. Accordingly .a roar of applause and cheering broke out, which fairly seared the small, shabby boy who faced it. There was more genuine enthusiasm in this outburst than in the longer demonstration which had greeted the nomination of a candidate half an hour before. Presently, however, a Ilull came, and a voice from one side of the hall cried: ‘ ' “Here’'s your iman, but he sayé to keep the change!”; ; : At that there was a smart round of hand clapping, and a sudden shower ot quarters and n;:ll coins began to pelt the stage round the boy. : i “Pick 'em up—they’re yours,” said the chairman, and he instantly obeyed. This unexpected contribution amounted to about ten dollars, and after making it secure in his handkerchief, the small recipient left the politicians to their . graver affairs.—Youth’s Com

VV' Zelm ON ! ey STORIES BY GEO. V. HOBART,E (“HUGH M’HUGH.”) '

Dear Bud: I'm going to pull something on you in this letter that will make you get up and leave the room. Just to kill time, I've been dabbling n literature. (P. S.—Time died a violent death, all right, all right!) ‘1 want you to read these little storfes from the Sanscrit, and scold me when we meet. Once more, go to it, Bunch! : Bk The Finish of)Billdad. And it came to pass that Billdad the son of Jimdad was worried within bimself; and he communed with himself, saying: “Behold! I must join the Brethren of the Long Thirst “in secret session this night, but what good thing shall I say unto my wife when she chides me with having no great purpose in going forth?” And Billdad the son of Jimdad glanced disconsolately at his favorite newspaper, and his heart was like lead within him. ; And even as he read a smile broke forth from the gloom that overshadowed his face, and this smile was like unto the first faint flush of the *‘wakening East, and he arose with gurglesome glee as does one whose mind is relieved of a mighty burden. And he communed with himself goftly, saying: “Politics! 'Tis a pipe!” And Billdad the son of Jimdad called his wife to his side, and he spake unto her, saying: ‘“Maud, the soft whiteness of thy cheek is fairer than the bloom that loves to linger on the lilies of the Nile! Thine eyes are twin thieves, which by some sorcery have ta’en the light from yon poor, weeping star, and now that light must lurk forever in those . languorously {impid depths! Thy smile, O Maud, is like the scintillating sweetnéss of a summer’s sky!” . . And Maud, the wife of Billdad the i ton of Jimdad, made answer, and said: *“What "talk have ye, Billdad? Quit your joshing, or I'll baste you with the broom. 'Got to go out again to-night, [ suppose. What is it this time? The Inner' Circle of the Royal Sons of a Krupp Gun? Oh is it the Ancient. Orger of the Accidental Dollar Bill?” And Billdad the son of Jimdad answered and said: ‘“Nay, sweet wife of my weary heart, 'tis none of these. 'Tig politics that beckons me forth lbgé the noisome night. Knowst thou aot that the two Great Parties will soon have to grapple in the final deathstruggle, and my uncertain vote still | wavers in the winds of indecision? Therefore, this night, O wife of my weary heart, I go forth to join a garrulous group of statisticians, astrologIsts, soothsayers, and seers to the end that my eyes may clearly see the light and my vote may count upon the side of Right. Be thou of good cheer, beloved, for I shall sit at the feet of the wise men of Egypt and imbibe much wisdom. Wherefore, thou need’st not wait up for me, for politics is like unto an owl-train for lateness, and the soothsayers say not neither do they sooth until the world is in the dead of night!” : ’ And Billdad the son of Jimdad went forth to sit at the feet of the wise men of Egypt. And it came to pass that

full soon his heaving bosom rested on the onyx trimmings of the bar, and his right foot was in tender touch with the brass rail at the base thereof.

And a great joy shone forth from his eyqs as he murmured: “Six beers —what are you going to have?” And when the night was far spent, Billdad the son of Jimdad drew zigzaggingly 2igh unto his habitation, and his knees were prone to wobble with much uncertairty of purpose. And Maud, the wife of Billdad the son qf Jimdad, stood in the open door, and she made scornful conjecture, saying: “Ha! Ha! Thou did’st sit at the feet of the wise men of Egypt, eh? Thou look’st the part, for, methinks, the wise men of Egypt used you for a door-mat. Thou did’st also! imbibe wisdom—from a stein! Bah, Billdad! Speak not to me of politics! Come, now, stand before me, Billdad, and with straightforward voice say after me these words: ‘I simiply stood and heard those speakers shout!’” And Billdad the son of Jlmdad‘} swayed gently to and fro in the light of the breaking morn, and he spake, saying: “I shimply sh’ood an’ h’er zoash sheekers spout!” ‘ And of the fretful finish of Billdad the son of Jimdad let therz be no cruel.l chronicle made. | -3 Pebblieonthebeach. | And it came to pass that a certain City Man looked upon the sun when it was red, and he communed with himself, saying: “Behold! the summer approacheth on rubber shoes, and the mercury will soon be up against the roof of its habitation; therefore, it behooveth me to journey quickly unto the Land of Pebbleonthebeach, lest peradventure, a great humidity shall ‘ise up over the city and transform me into' a state of meltedness.” i o "jl And the City mmm unto his wife and his wife’s ne kinswoman; and unto all the diminutive members of his own Individual tribe, saysoon be upon us; therefore let us pull down the blinds, place our worldly

possessions in the frapped depths of the safety-vault, and hie us to that balmy peacefulness which the gentlevoiced advertisements say abounds with a joyous plentitude in the Land of Pebbleonthebeach forever and ever.” . 7 : And the wife of the City Man and her nearest kinswoman and all the diminutive members of his own individual tribe made swift answer, and spake, saying: “Let’s!” . And it came to pass that they journeyed into the Land of Peebleonthebeach, and ‘their hearts were glad within them, for the scene was fair to look upon, and the ocean was full of cold water.

And lo! even as they looked a hot wave arrived on a fast train from the City and enveloped all the Land of Pebbleonthebeach, and humidity also

arrived in " perspiratious quantities, and made the Land of Pebbleonthebeach look and feel like the innermost recesses of a Japanese warship during a battle in the newspapers. And the City Man and the City Man’s wife and his wife’s nearest kinswoman, and all the diminutive members of his own individual tribe, forsook their raiment and rushed into the ocean, which was full of cold water, saying to one another: “Ha! ha! the humidity cannot touch us here!” And behold! the waves put on their white caps and communed one with another, saying:. “The Cityites are in our midst; let us make merry with them!” : :

And straightway the little waves collaborated in a successful effort to land on the City Man’s solar plexus,and what they did to his was a plentiful plentitude. And unto the wife of the City Man the little waves did likewise, until she was fain to scream sufficiency. And the undertow grabbed the City ‘Man’s wife’s kinswoman and stood her on her head, and rendered -her unfit for speechification. : And the members of the life-saving station worked overtime hauling from the cavernous depths of the ocean the diminutive members of the City Man’s own individual tribe; and trouble was their portion. | = And Whel‘l‘l the Cityites were come back from the bosom of the mighty deep, the Mosquito and the Landlord presented their bills, and yet; unto this very hour the City Man knoweth not - which bill penetrated with the most terrifying penetrativeness.

Therefore will I gather the .remnants of my tribe about me and flee for the City whence I came, lest, per adventure, the Landlord shall take my wearing apparel, even as he hath taken my purse and the contents thereof.” . .

And straightway he got up and gat. And even as he gat he communed with himself, saying: “Stang!” Cheer up, Bunch; the wurst is yet to. come, as the man said when the waiter didn’t bring the sausage. - Yours as heretofore, ' L 3 (Copyright, 1908, by G. W, Dillingham Co.)

Women as Chemists.

“It is inexpedient publicly to encourage women to adopt chemistry as a professional pursuit.” i In this concise way is expressed the view of those members of the Chemical society of Great Britain who disapprove of the proposal to allow women to become members. : Out of 3,400 papers read on personal researches during the last 85 years, only 23 have been contributed by women alone. There is a growing desire, however, on the part of many of our leading sclentists to admit women chemists to membership, and, as the wish has met with the strongest opposition from other members, the question is being put to a ballot. Mme. Curie is at present the only woman member, and she has been made merely an “honorary fellow,” with neither voting power nor eligibility for office on the council. Sy

Mischief Done by Gulls.

That many of the gulls have become far too numerous during the last 15 or 20 years, thanks to coddling and overmuch protection, has become a patent fact to those who observe and understand the habits of these birds. Here and there measures are being taken to lessen the plague, and by some few county couneils the protection once accorded has been withdrawn. : Gulls are responsible for an enor-| mous destruction of fish, as well as raids on the eggs and young of various birds. In many parts of Scotland the lesser black backed gulls have become the veriest vermin, in this respect rivaling the hooded crow and common rook, the latter another recent de ‘velopment of unwise overpreservation. ~Country Life, | hk

WALTER OTEFFENS

" Walter Steffens, c -ptain of the Chicago University football team, is considered one of the best quarterbacks in the west. He is very fast in handling the ball and in running back punts he is without a peer. - :

SOME PITCHERS ARE ALSO GOOD BATTERS Many Twirlers Who Can Line Out Ball When Hits Are Needed—Some ' Examples. - “Pitchers as a rule don’t clout the ball much, but there are a lot of the sluggers playing ball now that used to hurl up the curves, and some of them will last a long time yet,” said the fan.

“Cy Seymour can line ’em as well as'anybo‘fl in the business. We used to think %hat Cy was the whole head of cheese as a curve flinger, and he was,’ teo, But even before Cy got through pitching he was shoved into the outfield, not because he was a world beater as a fielder, but because he could bing the ball hard. His reputation for pulling down home runs came after. ;

“And how about Roger Bresnahan? This fellow started out as a pitcher in Washington, but the wise manager ‘down there soon learned that he could hit ’em on the nose, and it was a case of put on the mask and get behind the bat. Since then Roger has developed into a good all-aroind man, but it is his batting that makes him the big thing that he is in baseball to-day. g §

“Two of the old standbys of the famous White Sox of the days of Pop Anson’s regime were, pitchers before they began to shine as hard hitting fielders. The two men I refer to are George - Van - Haltren and Jimmie Ryan, both of whom are still playing ball. - Old Van certainly could line ’em out and was a mighty valuable man to the Giants until he broke his leg. “Then we have Jesse Burkett and Bobby Wallace. Both of these men were good pitchers, and were turned out into the field long before their usefulness as pitchers had passed, and all because they could make the base hits.

“Frank Isbell of the present White Sox.team was a pretty good pitcher in his day, and so was Jimmy Callahan. . Both these men struck terror to ‘pitehers when they Etepped to the plate. Charles Hickman, Pat Dougherty, Joe Yeager, and the two Stovalls were other pitchers who batted their way into the baseball limelight. “But Donovan, Ed Killian, and George Mullen need not worry about ‘their livelihood after they pass their usefulness as box artists. All three of them are good hitters. Ed Walsh of Chicago is a "natural hitter. But he has several years to go as a pitcher.”

FOOTBALL NOTES

Coach Larkin of Cornell is out of the hospital and has again taken up the task of coaching the Ithacans’ backs and ends. The idea of secret practice on the college football fields oftentimes is more to teach the players work without the distraction of having the spectators about them to drill the team on gpecial plays or formations. The Lafayette team, which held Princeton to a 0-to-0 tie, has not a senlor classman in the lineup, which augurs well for next year. The last time Lafayette met Princeton was in 1905, the Tigers winning 22 to 4. v Bob Cook, the old Yale oarsman; will have to share his unique distinction which he gained when he coached the Yale crew on horseback on the bank, with Harry Kersbarg of Harvard, who coached the guards from a motor cycle at Cambridge Wednesday.

In all the years that “Hurry Up” Yost has been at University of Michigan, no team except Penn or Chicago until the other Saturday had tied or beaten his team. Penn beat Michigan twice, and Chicago*took a 2-to-0 game a couple of years ago. This makes Michigan’s 0-to-0 game with the state college of Michigan especially disappointing to the coach. : K. N. Robinson of Brown says that his days of active football are over. He has had 18 years of the game. He played first at Dean academy and was captain there before he went to Brown to play four years on the university team. He has coached Brown eight seasons since his graduation, besides spending two years at University of Nebraska and coaching other years at University of Maine and Phillips Exeter. He never has had a poor team apd has turned out some of the best.

PAST SEASON A SAD ONE o FOR EAST IN BASEBALL % . All Honors Taken by Western Teams in Major Leagues—Giants NearPennant Winners. . Sad indeeg/ar@\the baseball fans of the east 1 " selling above par in gay New York. The season of 1908 has been a pretty tough one not ogly for New ‘York, but the other eastern members of both the big league circuits. While the Gotham fans can get some enjoyment out of the fact that the Giants were near-pennant winners, there is but little for the followers of the Highlanders to enthuse over. Last spring the club owned by Frank Farrell looked like a sure pennant contender, and for six weeks it lived up to its reputation. _Then the gas bag sprung a leak and the Highlanders began a drop, that ended only when the cellar was reached. The New York American club ‘has the distinction of being one of the worst tail-end-ers in the history of Ban B.'s league. There isn't much to be happy for in that. x

In Philadelphia the fans have had but little to brag about. The Athletics have been a rank disappointment. From a pennant contender lust year, the club dropped to a poor sixth in the season just closed. True, the Phillies finished fourth in the older organization, but Murray’'s team played such erratic as well as bril liant ball that the supporters of the game in Slowtown never knew what to expect. Both clubs promise to be in the race in 1909, but you can never tell. v P

The Red Sox look pretty good ta the Boston fans and they expect much from Taylor’s youngsters next season. There is no question about the ma terial being there, but the club lacks a leader to develop it. The biggest mistake ever made by the Boston cluh was the release of the veteran “Jim”" McGuire. With McGuire leading, it's a cinch the Boston American team would have been up ‘in the race nexi year, but with its present manager the club is but a possibility. The Na tional league team under Joe Kelly has been a huge failure.

Patsy Donovan has had a bad year of it in Brooklyn and gives but little hope for next season. Washington fans are up in the air over the Na tionals. In the games at home this year the team managed by Cantillon has shown the ability to play high class ball, but on the road it has been more or less of a joke. _

The leaders of the efstern teams realize that their only hope for a win ner next year depends on the success of the youngsters already picked up and those who will be grabbed ugp during the winter. On the form shown in the fall games it looks as if some mighty promising minor leaguers had been corraled. ‘

Unique Record of “Rube” Neuer. Pitcher “Rube” Neuer, who was in the American league lotig enough to get an introduction to the players on his team and then bid them good by, established a unique record this year. The ordinary ball player does a lot of traveling, but Rube has smashed all sqmding records. Neuer was trigd out by the Highlanders in ghe spring and then shipped to Newank. In th: first game in the Eastern league he struck out 14 men and won easily. In every other game he started for the next month he was knocked out of the box. Manager Stallings of the New: ark tean® passed him on to Little Rock, of the Southern league, but there he also proved a failure. After a long trial he was turned lose in the cold world. Quite a surprise was sprung when Charley Murphy of the Cubs gigned him. The surprise was ex: plained when Murphy turned him over to Johnstown in the Tri-State in return for Pitcher Kroh. Since joining that team Neuer has met with only fair success and it's a good bet that he will be wearing a different uniform when the season of 1909 is opened.

Coy Elected Captain of Yale Eleven, _ BEdward Haris Coy of New Haven Yale 1910, has been elected field captain of the Yale football team and wil! have charge of the work of the team during the games for the rest of the season. Capt. Robert Burch will not be able to play even in the Hfnal games, but will retain his title and direct the work from the side lines. Coy is 20 years old, 5 feet 10 inches ‘tall, and weighs 194 pounds .

" THE LORD OUR SHEPHERD

AUTHOR.—David. : : ' TlME.—Either in his youth, or later in a review of his life. Barton places it during Absalom’s _reb(llio‘n, referring to_ 2 Sam. 17:27-29. F s 7 Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Good Shepherd Shepherding His Sheep.—Vs. 1-3. .“On such a wilderness of mirage, illugive paths, lurking terrors, and infrequent spots of herbage, it is evident that the person and character of the shepherd must mean a great deal more to the sheep than they can possibly meanswith us. With-us, sheep left to themselves may be seen any day—in a field or on a hillside with a traveling wire fence to keep them from straying. But I do not J'e?mber ever to have seen in the east 3 flock of sheep without a shepherd. On such a landscape as I have described he .is obviously indispensable.” " The sheep in modern times under civilized governments are as really protected by the shepherd as are those in the open fields of the orient; only in a different way. The laws take the place of clubs.and crooks. Fences ‘and - police guards are but another mode of protecting the sheep from labyrinthine paths and desert dangers, and of guiding them to the green pastures and waters of rest. : This is equally true of life. By a fuller knowledge of natural and divine law, by the protection, which Christian civilization bestows, and the guidance of God’s word, many things are done for us which needed once more visible }guidance. But it is the same shep- ‘ herding as was given of old. : . The Good Shepherd loves his sheep - with an everlasting love. He gives his life for the sheep. : He left heaven, his home, and becanie man; taught, suffered, died, that

| he might find his lost ones. : : “The shepherdhood of Christ and the fatherhood of God are the two most comforting assurances of Secrip- | ture.”—Hugh Black. The Good Shepherd Knows His Sheep | by Name. “It is a remarkable fact in i | oriental husbandry, that in a flock ofl | hundreds of thousands each individual | | sheep has its name, knows it, and is § | known by it This implies: 1. That | ] the shepherd takes a living, personal | interest in each individual. 2. That | he knows each individual's peculiar | 'circumstances, so that he ministers; to each one what he specially needs 'and requires. 3. That he assigns to each one the work for which he is best | fitted. 4. That he can accept the love I | and loyalty of each individual. Jesus, | the Good Shepherd, /does all this and more for his flock. i “Every life needs shepherding; and ! a shepherd knows his sheep by their weakness and faults, and measures his care of them thereby; and when the‘ Good Shepherd calls his own sheep, he calls them by the name which suggests at on¢e their failing and this help, and his call thus becomes a tender appeal, for it is both a remembrancer and a promise.”—Hugh Black. - 1 The Good Shepherd is Our Guide Through Life, “He leadeth me.” “Guideth me on a journey from which it is easy to stray from the right path.” “In the paths of righteousness.” “In the right tracks, those that lead directly and safely to the place of destination.”—Prof. C. A, Briggs. “Often have I roamed through the shepherd country in my youth and watched how hard it is to choose the right path for the sheep; one leads to a precipice, another to a place where the sheep cannot find the way back; and the shepherd- was always going ahead, ‘leading’ them in the right paths, proud of his good name as a shepherd.”——Song of the Syrian Shepherd." “Thy rod and. thy staff” “are not synonymous, for even the shepherd of to-day, though often armed with a gun, carries two instruments of wood, his great oak club, thick enough to brain a wild beast, and his staff to lean vpon or to touch his sheep with, while the ancient .shepherd without - firearms would surely still more require both.” —QGeorge Adam Smith. o The staff is the common shepherd’s - crook, by which he can draw a 4 wandering sheep toward him ot pull him out of some crevice or away from some poisonous herb. . 3 “They comfort me.” “We miist not miss tae force of the good old word ‘comfort’ (con, together; fortis, strong). It means far more than simply to console. It signifies to tone up the whole nature, to strengthen a man so that all his energies can be brought ‘| to bear.”—M. R. Vincent. ' ' “Goodnhess and mercy” (the qualities of God) “shall follow me,” pursue me, hunt me. ; . . One need not seek anxiously for 'them as an illusive blessing, as the child seeks in vain for the rainbow; but they will pursue him and overtake him, if only he is a true sheep of the Good Shepherd.
