This Is My 63rd Birthday REAR ADMIRAL NILES. Rear Admiral Nathan E. Nlles, U. S. N., retired, was born in Pennsylvania, December 27, 1837. and was graduated from the naval academy in 1S68. During bis early career In the navy he served on tha North Atlantic, the Faclflc and European stations and on the squadron of evolution under Rear Admiral Walker. From 1893 until 1S97 be was executive of the Lancaster and then served a year in the bureau of equipment at the navy department, after which he commanded the Fiscataqua tn the operations around Cuba In the' Spanish War. He then served as equipment officer at the Norfolk navy yard until July, 1900. when he was placed in command of the gunboat Nashville. lie subsequently commanded the battleship Maine and the receiving ship Hancock. At the time of his retirement from active service a year ago he was in command of the naval homo In Philadelphia. Mrs. Austins Buckwheat Flour gives the real genuine old 'Jme flavor.

A Good Start!

When the' Toung Men's Business Club took the census of Richmond a year, br such a matter, ago, the town scarcely thought It possible that this w.as a city of over twenty thousand. Richmond bas never been a boom town. It has prided itself rather on the number of active and prosperous citizens rather than on the number of driven cattle. Still, as long as people will insist on comparing population as if one man were the equal of another man in efficiency it rather does a Richmond man's heart good to consider that Muncie Is only about 1,500 greater in population than Richmond, and Anderson only about 150 larger. Tfco few more that those towns have won't worry Richmond people much the population of Richmond stays and works all the year 'round whereas it is a notorious fact that the two mentioned towns may have that many who leave in one year or between two days. This is said in no spirit of jealousy because there is nothing to be Jealous over. But it is a good thing for Richmond people to wake up to their real importance. Take an account in a bank. The account that is permanent and which has nothing bat steady increase is the sort of account that is showing real growth. The one next to it may have a million one day and a dollar the next 364. As long as it is a million it is all right. But!

And this brings to mind the f nanclal solidarity of Richmond. Figures are not to hand and even if they were they would not prove or disprove the whole story. But it is probable that taking every phase of financial existence the city of Richmond is at least the third if not the second town in the state. A comparison of Richmond banks with other banks over the state would show a steadier Increase; it would show an efficiency in lending power for commercial and industrial purposes and what cannot be exactly complied, but only sensed Is the individual security of the individual investment.

It only needed the acceleration of the last two or three years to bring Richmond from comparative obscurity Into the limelight. Richmond is altogether, the most talked of small city in the state, and for that matter. In the middle west.

And now, what is the outlook? Rumor has it that certain large railway shops are to be built In Richmond. Whether they will be or not is a matter for the future. They can be landed for the town if those who will be benefited will go after them and go after them right. There is no better place for them, and they should come here for a logical reason, rather than for any temporary Inducement which the town might willingly offer. But whether they come or not, the town will keep on in its growth from sheer force of the Individual citizenship.

And it is this force which was long latent, which awakened will draw otber business Interests here for the benefit of all. It seems In casting up accounts Just before the New Year that there never bas been a time when Richmond could "go to It" with such a record of accomplishment behind it to cheer it on.

But it is up to every man in Richmond, which incidentally means every man within a radius of twenty-five miles to help otherwise he will not receive the benefit. The census is a good start. But it should be regarded as a beginning.

JARRED THE BANK. Sensational Plays That Havo Been Pulled Off at Monte Carlo. The big players have never succeeded in carrying away very much money from Monte Carlo. In 1003 a London newspaper published a story to the effect that an American from Chicago bad won 500.000 francs there In one day and had taken the money borne with him, but his name was not given. In the early nineties the sensation at Monte Carlo one season was the play of a Chicago youth of twenty-one, named Harry Rosenfeld, who made something like 500,000 francs in a week, playing during the day, but lost most of it at baccarat at night after the casino had closed. The late David Christie Murray used to tell a story of a sensational play at Monte Carlo that he witnessed himself. "It was my fortune," he said, "to be in the casino on a Sunday night In 18M when a French nobleman bearing a historic name entered the room with a fancy to play on No. 8. lie was followed by a volet who was marked 'pugilist' from head to heel and carried a cash box which proved to be full of 1,000 franc notes. 'Numero hult," said M. le Dnc, 'et maximum par tout' He was known, and his challenge was accepted before the cash box was opened. No. 8 turned up three times running. M. le Due netted three times seventeen times 6,000 francs in about three minutes, and the bank was closed. What brought his historic dukeshlp there In the nick of time for that trlfold piece of luck nobody can telL He did not want the money, for he had just married a few odd millions, and he did not seem to care whether he lost or won, but stood impassive as a red Indian through the few minutes of that stupendous game. It was within a quarter of an hour of closing time, and there were not niauy people present, but the salle went mad." The two biggest winners at Monte Carlo of recent years to figure prominently lu the newspapers are Charles Wells, a Londoner, who won 750,000 francs In a few weeks and lost It back and considerable more, and a Yorkshire mechanic named Jaggers, who won 3,000.000 francs on a system and was rapidly losing it back by the same system when he bad sense enough to quit the game. He got away with considerably more than 1.000,000 francs. Frank Marshall White in Harper's Weekly. "THIS DATE

SACKING A THEATER. Tribulations of the Drama In Now York In 1765. Here is an account of the sacking of a theater In New York from the Gatette of May 3, 1765: 'The play advertised to be acted last Monday evening having given offense to sundry and divers inhabitants of this city, who thought it highly improper that such entertainments should be exhibited at this time of public distress, when great numbers of poor people can scarce find means of subsistence, whereby many persons might be tempted to neglect their business and squander that money which is necessary to the payment of their debts and the support of their families, a rumor was spread about the town that if the play went on the audience would meet with some disturbance from the multitude. "This prevented the greatest part of those who Intended to have been there from going. However, many people came, and the play was begun, but soon interrupted by the multitude, who burst open the doors and entered with noise and tumult. The audience escaped In the best manner they could. Many lost their hats and other articles of raiment. A boy had his skull fractured and was yesterday trepanned. Death i bK Several others were sorely set upon and injured. But we beard of no lives lost. The multitude Immediately demolished the house, carried the pieces to the common, where they consumed them In a bonfire."

Stonehaven lies to the south of Aberdeen. - The London train had drawn up at Stonehaven on account of slight mishap a mile or two ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had got lntu conversation with a Salvation Arm officer, who had popped his bead out of the compartment to ask the reason for the delay. "Aye, aye," mused Andra after giving the desired Information, "ye'll be for Alberdeen, I'm thlnkin?" "Yes, my man," was the reply; "I'm bound for Aberdeen, a Tery wicked place, I'm told." "What rolcbt ye be goin' to dae there, sir, if It's as bad as a that?" asked Andra, rather amused at the visitor's words. "Ah," was the pious answer, "I'm go ing to drive the devil out of Aber deen." Like lightning came from the old porter the pawky reply, "See an drive blm north, chlel; haul him well to the north r IN HISTORY"

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edvm A. tiyt -FINISHING" THE (IlRL. A wealthy widow the Meadowbrook colony has applied to the courts for an allowance of 817,000 annually to "complete the education" of her daughter. The girl Is to be "finished"' abroad. Two, three or four years may be necessary for the "finishing" process. Why 117.000? Well, there must be an establishment In Paris and probably one in London. It Includes maid and governess, besides other servants. It means expensive teachers for music, painting, riding, dancing, gymnasium, etc. Then there la the "grand tour" of the continent, so the "bud" may speak intelligently of well kaown places. And there must be the outfit for the debut, and Paris dressmakers are expensive. Seventeen thousand dollars. Why, plenty of American girls are "finished"'. In this country for considerably less than seventeen hundred. And I know of one mighty fine specimen who was "finished" on less than $170 a year. The folks sent her through high school, where she was graduated with honors. True, she may lack some of the fancy accomplishments of the European finished young woman, but she Is better educated in things worth while, better prepared to be a good American wife and mother. $17,000-$1,700-$170. I tell you I can instance a "finished" girr, back in the eighties, whose education did not cost to exceed $17 a year. And a very sweet girl she was. The cost of her three or four books and of her two or three simple gownsone of linsey woolsey, with white cuffs and collars, for school wear and one or two of white muslin for Sunday did not exceed the sum I have named. $17.000-$1,700-$170-$17. It does not matter so much as to the cost, but it does matter as to the girl. It is nice to have $17,000 or $1,700 or even $170 to spend on your girl's education. But Is the girl really educated? Does the finishing finish? IB SCHOOL RECOlTBr That boy of yours Does he bring home reports of school examinations marked "medium" or "poor" and conduct report cards indorsed "bad?" Or Does he just manage to scrape through on his exams, get his regular promotions by the skin of his teeth and escape being suspended for insubordination ? And it worries you. Which is natural. ButDoubtless the boy will pull through all right He may be a fit subject for occasional discipline and he may not be a "shark" for learning, but don't you worry about him. Hunt up your old teacher. Ask him about the boys who went to school with you in the long ago days. He knows their history. And you will be surprised. There's Theodore Johnson, who always stood head in spelling schoolworking at day's labor. And William Harris, who never failed on a history date clerking in a grocery store. And what of Bill Jones, who flunked so many times? The wealthiest man in the neighborhood. And John Miller, who was adept at "town ball," but a failure in geography? He is the judge up at the county seat. W-h-a-t? you say. But the schoolmaster, who bas watched the careers of schoolboys for many years, understands that "you cannot tcii bow far a frog may be able to jump by looking at it." So you can not pbophesy how far a boy may go by his school record. Many brilliant men failed at school. There may be reasons why your boy lags. Mnybe it is the teacher's fault. He may not know how to go at your boy to get out of him what is in him Or he may promote him too slowly or too rapidly. Or it may be your boy is of the kind who develops late. Anyway Don't lose faith in your own flesh and blood. Do not discourage the boy by find ing fault Do not scold him. Encour age him! Believe In him! Help him!

Russia Leads United States In the Acreage of Forests

BY JONATHAN W1NFIELD. Washington. Dec 27. Although the; United States leads the world with I bumper crops, millionaires, trusts, re-; cords for athletic events, miles of railroads and many other things, besides having the "balance of trade" in her favor, It must nevertheless take off its hat to Russia which claims first place among the nations of the earth In Its forest production. The estimated area 1 of the forests of the United States Is 545,000,000 acres. That of Russia is 812,640,000, Canada which ranks third has a forest area of about 1.249000 square miles, of which 400,000 square miles is covered with merchantable timber. Raphael Zon, chief of sylvics of the department of agriculture, has compiled a comparative statement of the forest resources of the world. Mr. Zon says "Under present conditions there is scarcely a civilized country which economically Is entirely independent of all other countries. The life of all nations is now closely interwoven, and even countries like the United States or Russia which contain within their borders practically all natural re sources necessary to make them independent in every respect, are con stantly interchanging their products with the reBt of the world." It is impossible, he says, to form a clear Idea of the possibilities of a country and its future development without taking into account the natu ral resources, and the general economic conditions of other countries with which it does business. Highly developed means of transportation make it often more profitable to obtain certain products from a country which for some reason is best able to produce them, than to manufacture them at home, even though it is possible to do so. A country deprived of many natural resources may still be prosperous and progressive Mr. Zon says because it is able to obtain all it needs from other countries having a surplus of pro ducts which it lacks. The British Isles are a striking example of this. With comparatively limited natural resources and high consumption of timber, grain and other raw material England had highly developed industries which enable her to exchange her fin isher products for raw materials she needs. In a general way this holds good for forest products, but with this difference. Forests not only produce timber, but play an important part in the life of every nation by exercising an influence on the water supply, on agricultural and the general health of the population. For this reason only a few countries with an insular climate like England and Holland may with impunity reduce their forest areas beyond a certain saftey limit. Ordinarily a country with a forest area of 20 per cent or less shows a marked degree of bad climatic conditions, with prolonged droughts, frosts and alternating floods and low water. Portugal with a forest area of 5 per cent of her total land area, Spain with 13 per cent, Greece with 13 per cent,

per cent, are examples of this. j In considering forest resources of : the United States it is necessary to take into account forest resources of other countries, in order to determine the extent to which the United States can depend in case of exhaustion of ? its own timber, upon other nations or to determine the part which it plays and will play in supplying demands of other countries for forest products. The forests of Europe occupy an area of 750,000,000 acres, which is about 31 per cent of the total area of Europe. The most wooded country is Finland, followed by Bosnia, Ifersegovlna and Sweden. The least wooded are Portugal and Great, Britain. The proportion of forests de- i

creases from the north and east of Europe towards to the south and west. Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway together possess 583,000,000 acres. 1 The forests of other countries, except , in few localities are little explored. In Asia, the forests of Russia, British India and Japan lead, showing a total acreage of 3,050,298,000. Estimates for the entire world place the total forest acreage at 5,000,000,000 acres. The forests of the United States according to ownership divided as follows Natural forests 100,000,000 acres, state forests 3,000,000 acres, private and unreserved public forests approximately 442.000,000 acres. While government and state ownership of forests has invariably proved advantageous, yet the proportion of forest lands, owned or controlled by the state cannot always be taken as a criterion of the state or development of forestry In a country. The government may, for historic or economic reasons, have only a small area of its own, but still exercise a great Influence over the forests of other owners. Thus Austria has only 10.7 of the total forest area under state ownership, Switzerland 4.6 per cent, and France 1.2 per cent. In the United States forests form less than 29 per cent of the entire land area. The area per inhabitant is about 6 acres. As the forests of the United States are cut for commerce, the stumpage area increases rapidly. The latest and best estimate of the stumpage of the United States places it at 2,500,000,000,000 feet board measure. There is a cut of about 25,000,000,000 cubic feet of standing timber a year with an estimated growth of 12 cubic feet an acre annually. According to the department of agriculture home consumption of timber in the United States is larger than that of any other country in the world. The United States exports annually about 2,500,000,000 feet board measure, and imports approximately 1,700,000,000 feet A review of the timber trade says Mr. Zon shows a steady increase in wood consumption the world over. The increase in exports from Russia, Finland and Sweden is needed In western Europe to make up a growing deficit there, and will not be a source of supply for the United States. Thus the tendency is toward a greater overcutting of timber by the exporting countries which, If continued will lead eat hot breads, cake made with POWder Per Pound No Alum

IRON IN THE BLOOD j I, ii Is an essential element to health. When it is insufficient or lacking, there is a dearth of red blood corpuscles which causes anaemia and a rundown condition of the entire system.

with consequent bodily weakness. In order to restore the blood to a healthy condition, iron must b supplied in an earily assimilated form. We guarantee this may be done by Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic made without oil. This combination of two worldfamed tonics, restores to the blood the elements lacking to make rich, red blood, which imparts strength and vitality to every organ in the body, J, Edmund Miller, of New Haven, Conn., says their little girl had been frail and sickly ever since her birth. Vinol was recommended and they tried it, and immediately noticed an improvement in her condition. They continued its use and it built her up, until they cannot recommend it too highly to build up a weakened system." to a universal shortage, with no surplus to draw from. This picture, gloomy as it may seem. Is offset by the birth of a new economic force-a movement toward the introduction of rational forest management If such management is long delayed in the United States, it is said, the country will face the problem of slow conversion of scrubby woodland Into productive forest, thereby adding materially to the cost of living. "The solution of the problem," Mr. Zon declares "for a good wood supply, is to begin now to prepare for making a diminished forest area supply an increased population."
