Much, very much ot this love-stuff
Is mush
T o latest emotional breakfast
food is called "Intellectual love."
Tula brand recently caused a Bos
ton woman to quit her husband and
eat ot the fruit which some of the
old fashioned lovers would not guar
antee under the puro food laws.
In describing her squirmy pertur
bations, resulting from intellectual
low, tho woman said she had for
gotteu h-ir earlier interpretations of
love, but under tho new mind-love
thero was such sweet accord, such
mental sympathy, such attentive
kindness, that she could not bear to
glvo It up, so she cluug to an intel
lectual sap-head who was also attun
ed to tho angleworm harmony, and
left her husbands bed and board.
In diagnosing the symptoms of th
lovelorn lady, we aro iucliuod to
prcscribo an eight-hour labor law to
cot or her ease. She has too much
time on her hands that she does not
know what to do with. And there
lu lies many a fault. People do
net bring up their childrcu In hab
its of Industry. Thero aro mighty
h e busy men and women who havo
to pad cut their lives with seutl
liutead of spending her time In
atiulvzlng the occultisms of love,
this woman might have bettered her
life by chasing her husband's shirts
jp and dowu the corrugated surface
of a wash board. Annexing a few
buttons to tho family trousers also
would serve to dampeu some of the
feftred hysteria which this woman
ascribes .o 'titcllcctual love. Same
of our Boston and other girls and
linjs are i:iteIl>H.'tuallzcd out of the
crmtnon graces and simple virtues,
thoso dally things that fill up life
nil make it wholesome.
In commenting on the Millard
resoiutlqn to congress asking for
the abolishment of the forest re
serves in Alaska, the Post Intell!-'
gei-cer has this to say:
"Among the early moaaures to
which the attention of tho Alaska
legislature hua been invited Is a
j <ut resolution preisented by Sena
tor Millard asking Congressional ac
tion for the abolishment of federal
reservations created in Alaska by
President Roosevelt. If It Is a
measure of merit, and congress
might very well pass tho needed leg
islation on this subject.
These Alaska reservations were
?:r< ated in deliberate perversion or
the laws which congress had passci!
ut'bn the subject and for purposes
which congress bud novor authorized
Congress, by twe act of 1891, author
i7ed the president to create forest
reserves for the distinct purpose of
conserving the growing timber and
preventing Its possible waste. No
other purpose whatever was In view
when this authority was granted.
But Mr. Plnchot. chief forester, camo
tc the conclusion that congress had
acted improvidently In oxteudlng any
ct the public land laws to Alaska
tu'tf that It was his mission to cor
rect tho mistakes of congress and
Jo preserve that territory Intact for
tho uses of future generations.
Thereupon he persuaded the Pres
ident to make forest reserves along
tho ontlro coast line of Southeastern
Alaska, covering every possible har
bor or townslte which had not pass
ed into private ownership. A great
shr.ro of the area thus reservod had
no timber of any kind on it. No
purpose connected with the consorvn
lion tion of timber was behind tho
creation of theso reserves. They
vn re created by porverslon of the
law, for the sole purpose of annul
lint, the acts of congress which dl<>
not me t with the approval of a mlu
or executive officer, the national
forester. And they havo romalned
ever since, strangling the develops
went of tho territory and prevent
ing utilization by the peoplo of Al
aska of 'their natural resources.

The Scholar.
Pr. Evans, a witty member of the
parliament at Melbourne, was an old
man. and the other members Jokingly
spoke of him as belonging to the era of
Queen Anne.
Once while making a speech be re
ferred to Queen Anne and was greeted
with cries of "Did you know her?"
"What was she like?"
"Yes. sir." retorted the doctor. "I did
know her. The scholar Is contemporary
with all time."
A Chang* of Heart.
"Peck isn't happy. His wife I* con

things to him."
"Why. h* told me before he married
her that was what he admired most
about her "
"Ye*, but he considered It wit then."
