"Woodman, Spare that Tree.

noble class Of forest trees, which are
rapidly disappearing from our midst,
and the land that knew them once will
know them no more forever. 1t stood
on the land originally purchased Of the
General Government by David Hoover,
ST., in 1906. and was familiarly known
as the big Poplar. on the Newport

years its white and deaGcncd branches

point on North Seventh Street and for
two miles to the cast or north OF its To-

the exact spot of the present District

section of the country. Here, within

we hear of the destruction of one Of
those giant trees, and calls to our mind
the beautiful poem, the first line of
which heads this article. But in this
instance the tree was dead the enemy

heart and stolen its life away. The top
is split and piled up, waiting its APP
