We Act aa if We Thongrnt Onr Re > sources Were Inexhaustible. Instances of American wastefulness abound on every band , but there Is no better example than Is afforded by the devastation of the forests. Untold millions - lions of board feet of timber are left every year by lumbermen to rot on the ground or in stumps , and quantities al most as vast are destroyed by forest jores. It was scarcely a decade ago that the /"forests of Hie United States were be- Sieved to be inexhaustible , but now everybody - - erybody who knows anything of tbe i.subject Is aware that tbey are going so ; -rapidly that tlieir complete extinction Us a matter of only a few years. 'IThis fact IS realized by the railroads , the great lunibering concerns and othei extensive users of timber , and some oi : them are taking steps to replace the forests already destroyed. But from ihe planting of the seed to the cut ting of tlie matured tree Is a long time to wait from twenty to thirty years .and meantime where is tbe country to 3ook for its lumber supply ? The deposits of minerals and metals -are going the same way. In an address - dress to tbe Columbia University grad uates in science tbe otber day Dr. James Douglass said tbat the "mon strouswastefulness" of the mining methods in vogue in this country -would soon bring about tbe exhaus tion of "those resources wbicbwe bave fondly regarded as inexhaustible.

Th r ware fewer revolutions in South America than usual , ami the Paaama canal fad come to ths front in a promis ing and progressive way , but the Repub lic rf Aureataland was certainly not in a launching condition. Although most kappilyi situated ( it liea on the coast , rath r to tbe north ) , and gifted with an enrfreneiTe territory , nearly as bis a North Dakota , it had yet failed to moke that material progress which had been hoped by its founders. It is true that the State was still in its infancy , being an offshoot from another and larger realm , and hav ing obtained the boon of freedom and self- government only an recently as 1871 , af ter a c ries of political convulsions of a violent character , which may be studied vith advantage ia the well-known history of "The Making of Aureatalaud , " by a teamed professor of the Jeremiah P. JTecka University. This profound histo rian Is , beyond all question , accurate in attributing the chief share in the nationa movement to tbe energy and ability o tha first President of Aureataland , Hi ; Excellency President Marcus W. Whit tlcghara , a native of Virginia. Having enjoyed a. personal friendship with tha talented man , as will subsequently appear I have great pleasure in publicly endorsIng Ing the professor's culogium. Not only did the President bring Aurtataland into being , but he moulded her whole consti tutioa. "It was his genius' ' ( as the pro feipor observes with propriety ) "which was fired with the idea of creating a truly modern State , instinct with the progres aive spirit of the Anglo-Saxon race. I was his genius which cast aside the worn out traditions of European dominion , am taught his fellow-citizens that they were if not all by birth , yet one and all bj adoption , eons of freedom. " Any mis takes in the execution o this fine con cepti n must be set down to the fact that the President's great powers were rather the happy gift of nature than the rcsul of culture. To this truth he was himself in no way blind , and he was accustomed to attrib nte his want of a liberal education to the social ruin brought upon his family by the American Civil War , and to the disloca tion thereby produced in his studies. Starting under the auspices of such a gifted leader , and imbued with so noble & zeal for progress , Aureataland was , at the beginning of her history as a nation the object of many fond and proud hopes But in spite of the blaze of glory in which her sun had risen , her prosperity was not maintained. The country was well suited for agriculture and grazing , but the population a very queer mixture of races was indolent , and more given to keeping holidays and festivals than to honest labor. Most of thorn were unintel ligent ; those who were intelligent made their living out of those who weren't , a Biethod of subsistence satisfactory to the individual , but adding little to the aggre gate of national wealth. Only two classes made fortunes of any size government officials and barkeepers and even in their case wealth was not great , looked at by an English or American standard. Pro duction was slack , invention at a stand still , and taxation heavy. The Presi dent's talents seemed more adapted to founding a State in the shock and turmoil of war , than to the dull details of admin istration ; and although he was nominally assisted by a cabinet of three ministers , and an assembly comprising twenty-fire members , it was on his Khouldera that the real work of government fell. On him , therefore , the moral responsibility must also rest a burden the President bore with a cheerfulness and equanimity al most amounting to unconsciousness. When I first set foot in Aureataland I was landed on the beach by a boat from the steamer at the capital town of Whit tingham. I was a young man , entering on my twenty-sixth year , and full of pride at finding myself at so early nn age sent out to fill the responsible position of man ager at our Aureataland branch. The directors of the bank were then pursuing what may without unfairness be called an adventurous policy , and , in response to the urgent entreatiee and glowing exhor tations of tbe President , they had decided on establishing a branch at Whittingham. I commanded a certain amount of inter est on the board , inasmuch as the chair man owed my father a sum of money , too email to mention , but too large to pay , and when , led by the youthful itch for novelty , I applied for the post , I suc ceeded in obtaining my wish at a salary-of a hundred dollars a month. I am sorry to say that in the course of a later busi ness dealing the balance of obligation shifted from the chairman to my father , an unhappy event which deprived me of my hold on the company and seriously in fluenced my conduct in later days. When I arrived In Aureataland the bank had been open some six months , under the guidance of Mr. Thomas Jones , a steady- going old clerk , who was in future to act as chief and cashier under my order * . I found Whittingham a pleasant little city of about five thousand inhabitants , picturesquely situated on a fine bay , at th spot whore the river Marcus debouch ed into the ocean. The town was largely composed of government buildings and hotels , but there was a street of shops of no mean order , and a handsome square , called the "Piazza 1S71 , " embellished with an equestrian statue of the President. Round about this national monument were a large number of seats , and , hard by , a cafe and bandstand. Here , I soon found , was the center of life in the after noons and evenings. Going along a fine avenue of trees for half a mile or so you came to the "Golden House , " the Presi dent's official residence , an imposing villa of white .stone with a gilt statue of Au- reatalnnd , a female figure sitting on a ploughshare , and holding a m-ord in the right hand and a cornucopia in the left. By her feet lay what was apparently a badly planned cannon ball ; this. I learned , waa a nugget , and from its presence and the name of the palace , I gathered that the President hnd once hoped to base the prosperity of his youog republic on the solid foundation of mineral wealth * This ho ? had been long I have alway * hated betels , M I tart no time in looking reun4 for fodsisss suitable to iny Tneans , and wae fortunate enough to obtain a couple of room * ia the house occupied by a pri t , Fatter Jacques Bonchretien. Ho was a very good fellow , and though we did not become in timate , I could always rely on his oar- tcsy and friendly service * . Eer I lived in great comfort at an expense of fifty dollars a month , and I soon found that my spare fifty made me a well-to-do ctaa in Whittingham. Accordingly I had the entree of all the best houses , including the Golden House , and a v ry pleasant little society we had ; occasional dances , frequent dinners , and plenty of lawa tea- nis and billiards prevented aa feeling the tedium I had somewhat feared , ami the young ladies of Whittingham 4id their best to solace my exile. At for busincw , I found the bank doing a small business , but a tolerably satisfactory one , and if we made some bad debts , we got high in terest on the good ones , so that , one way or another , I managed to tend home pret ty satisfactory reports , and time paesed on quietly enough in spite * certain man ifestations of discontent c.&iong the popu lation. These disturbing phenomena were first brought prominently to my notice at the time when I became involved in tfcs fortunes of the Aureataland national debt , and as all my story turns on this incident , it perhaps is a fit subject foa a new chapter. CHAPTER II. When our branch was estaWiskrf tA Whittingham there had been an arrange ment made between ourselves and th government , by the terms of which w were to have the government busiaeoa , and to occupy , in fact , much that quasi- official position enjoyed by the Bank of England at home. As a quid pro quo , the bark was to lend to the republic the SUBI of , $500,000 at 6 per cent. Ths Presideat was at the time floating a loan of ne million dollars for the purpose of worke nt the harbor of Whittingham. This as tute ruler had , it xreemed , hit on tfee plan of instituting public works on a large scale as a corrective to popular discon tent , hoping thereby not o Jy to develop trade , but also to give employment to many persons who , if unoccupied , became centers of agitation. Such at least was the official account of his policy ; whether it was the true one I saw reason to doubt later on. As regards this loan , my office was purely ministerial. The ar rangements were duly made , the proper guarantees given , aud the June after my arrival I had the pleasure of handing over to the President the $500,000. I learned from him on that occasion , that to his great gratification , the balance of the lean had been taken up. "We ehall make a start at once , sir , " said the President , in his usual confident but quiet way. "In two years Whitting ham harbor will walk over the world. Don't be afraid about your interest. Your directors never made a hotter invest ment. " I thanked his excellency and withdrew with a peaceful mind. I had no respon sibility in the matter , and cared nothing whether the directors got their interest or not. I was , however , somewhat curious to know who had taken up the rest of tlw loan , a curiosity which was not deatised to be satisfied for some time. The works were begun and the inter est was paid , but I cannot say that the harbor progressed rapidly ; in fact , I doubt if .more than $100,000 ever found their way into the pockets of contractors or workmen over the job. The President had some holes dug and some walls built ; having reached that point , about two years after the interview above recorded , he suddenly drew off the few laborers still employed and matters came to a d ad stop. stop.It It was shortly after this oocarrenvt that I was honored with an invitation to dine at the Golden House. It was in the month of July. Needless to say , I accepted the invitatien , not only because it was in the nature of a command , but also because the President gave uncom monly good dinner ; , and , although a bach elor had as well ordered a household an I have ever known. My gratification was greatly increased when , on my arrival , I found myself the only guest , and realised that the President considered my society in itself enough for aa evening's enter tainment. It did crocs my mind that this might mean business , and I thought It none the worse for that. We dined in the famous veranda , tiM scene of so many Whittingham function * The dinner waa beyond reproach. Tfce President was a charming companion. Though not , as I have hinted , a man of much education , he had had a wide ex perience of life , and had picked up a man ner at once quiet and cordial , which set me completely at my ease. Moreover , he paid me the compliment , always so sweet to youth , of treating me as a man of the world. With condescending confidence h told me many tales of his earlier days ; and as he had been everywhere , his con versation was naturally most interesting. Dinner was over nad the table cleared before the President seemed inclined for serious conversation. Then be 0aid sud denly : "Mr. Martin , this country is ha a peril ous condition. " "Your excellency , " said I , "do yon refer to the earthquake ? " ( There had been a slight shock a few days before. ) "No , sir , " he replied , " o the finances. The harbor works have proved far more expensive than I anticipated. I hold in my hand the engineer's certificate that $003,000 has been actually expended on them , and they are not finished not by any means finished. " They certainly were not ; they were hardly begun. "Dear me , " I ventured to say. "that seema a good deal of money , considering what there is to show for it. " "You cannot doubt Hie certificate , Mr. Martin , " en id the President. I did doubt the certificate , and should have liked to ask what fee the engineer had received. But I hastily said it was , of coarse , beyond suspicion.

While no Tvoman is en tireiy free from periodical suffering , it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. This is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. When pain exists gomething1 is wrong vhlch should be sot right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. Thousands of women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overcomes woman's special pains and irregularities. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two follorring letters tell so con- Tineingly what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will do for women , they cannoo fail to bring hope to thousands ot sufferers. Miss Nellie Holmes , of 540 N. Division Street , Buffalo , N. Y. , writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkbam : " Yourmedi'-ine la indeedan ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods , headaches , and bearing-down pains. I consulted two different physicians but failed to get any relief. A friend from the cast advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did BO , and no longer suffer as Ididbofore. Myperiods ore natural ; every ache and pain is gona , and my general health is much improved. I advise all women who suffer to toke Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound. " Mrs. Tillie Hart , of Larimore , N. D. , writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham : " I might have been spared many months of suffering and pain had I only known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound sooner ; for I have tried so many remedies without help. " I dreaded the approach of every month , as it meant so much pain and suffering for me , but after I had used the Compound two months I became regularand natural and am now perfectly well and free from pain. I am very grateful for what Lydia E. Pinkhamhi Vegetable Compound has done for m .M Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women. J When women are troubled with palmer or irregularities , displacements or ulceration - ceration of the oreans , that bearing- down feeling , inflammation , backache , bloating ( or flatulency ) , general debil ity , indigestion and nervous prostra tion , or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness , faintness , lassitude , eic- citability , irritability , nervousness , sleeplessness , melancholy , they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine , for you need the best. Don't hesitate tovrite to Iflrs.
