 districts it will be but a scanty force 

 that will muster with axe and mattock 

 at the warden's summons. If there 

 be one man who thinks it is not worth 

 while, and who feels no responsibility 

 in the matter, let him, at the first 

 opportunity, take a "hike" up into 

 the virgin woods, at the heels of a 

 veteran timber cruiser, and he will 

 be sluggish of blood and thick of head 

 indeed if he come not back a deter- 

 mined and voluntary forest-guard.
