Planting Trees Properly.

When a tree is planted properly it is
pruned when needed, and little is
generally wanted. Good pruning is in
cluded in the proper planting of tree.
A tree properly planted and pruned will
need but little heavy work afterwards il
little care be constantly given it. The
most of the pruning win be to regulate
the shape of the tree, and this can be
done mostly when the tree is growing
in the spring and summer time. A lit.
tie attention in the growing season goes
great way. II bushier growth be
needed. the pinching off of "a shoot will
cause the buds along the side to burst
and grow, and very soon a twiggy
growth and bushy tree is the result.
Summer pruning is the only kind to be
practioed to make dense growth. In
the winter time pruning tends to make
vigorous shoots but not bushy ones.
just below where cut oil, one bud, and
generally the one only, will burst out
and grow up strong. Wherever weak
shoots exist, winter pruning benefits the
trees by giving a stronger and cleaner
growth the following year. To know
what we want is the point TO be sure o
before we commence to cut tree.

At one of the most isolated posts In
Oregon, situated several hundred miles
distant from the settlements, but in
point of accessibility farther away than
China, the commanding officer was a
cavalry officer who enjoyed the sobri-
quet Of "Old Grower." The only serv-
ant that was ever persuaded to go to
this post was nurse, who had become
attached to an officers family and fol-
lowed their fortunes into the mountains.
Her receptions soon rivaled those Of the
post-trader, and before she had been
there two weeks every soldier in the gar
rison had proposed, and she finally an
nOunced to her mistress that she was
married. "Growler" had no servant,
but an old soldier, who was so broken
down that he was not of much use for
anything else, took care of the details of
his hut. One day the inspector of the
departments came, and, as was the Gus
tom, stopped with the commanding of
ficer. This inspector happened to be
one OF those gentlemen who trouble
themselves about little things at the ex-
pense of matters of graver import. He
could tell whether the pickles at post
commissary were good or bad, while a
contractor might steal thousands of dol
lars under his very nose and escape de-
lection. This observing gentleman no
ticed that the man who took care of the
hut, cooked and served the command
ants meals, was soldier. SO he took
occasion to say that unless that soldier
was present next day with his company
at inspection he should be compelled to
report the aforesaid commanding officer.
Growler smoked his pipe, ruminated
and said nothing. The next morning
when the inspector arose he found his
host still smoking and ruminating. They
chatted on various subjects for half an
hour or so; then an hour passed by; the
hour for inspection was rapidly APP
preaching, when the inspector returned
to inquire at what time his host usually
breakfasted. Il beg your pardon"

The Man Who Proved Himself Hero
and Patriot.

As there are troubles worse than
death, so is there heroism deeper than
that which braves the enemy in battle,
and the true patriot is not the man who
talks most about the prosperity and ad-
vanced civilization of his native land,
but it is he who practically aids her in
her course onward and upward.
Two years ago John Smith 1--WE will
call him) died and left widow only
thirty-six years old and fourteen chill
dren under thirteen years; the young
est was an infant and there were three
pairs of twins. John Smith was a SOL
der and pensioner, and his widow i'm
mediatey applied for pension for her
self and the little ones, but even this
gave her an income of only S36 a month
with steady decrease of S2 -four in
case of the twins) month every year
after the Oldest child attained the age
of sixteen.
After two years of widowhood Mrs.
Smith met our hero, a man courageous
enough to marry Mrs. Smith and take
to his step-fatherly heart and home the
fourteen little Smiths!
Fancy stting down to breakfast for
the first time with new-made wife and
fourteen young children! Yesterday
you were care-free bachelor; to-day
you are father of clamorous family.
Yesterday you ate and drank as you
liked; to-day you must learn that Tom
my and Jack like lots of gravy, while
Mary cries if drop is put on her plate,
Dick wants his meat all fat, baby clam
ors for bone, and Susie wants the
driest and most well-done corner.
And then how hard to remember all
the names, for the ex-Mrs. Smith will
naturally feel aggrieved if any one for
gets that Andy and not pretty Jack is
the red-headed boy, or that Lucy twins
with Mary and not Emma (the three be-
ing the same size and the latter only IA
year the youngesD, while it will be sure
to bring tear To her eye if little Willie,
"who is so like his dead-and. gone pa
pa" is confounded with Sam, who has
freckles and snub nose,
And rs the paternal government grad
ually withdraws its allowance from the
little Smiths and finally, when baby is
sixteen, stops it altogether, step-pater-
nal cares press more and more heavily on
John Smiths successor; it is he who
takes the dead soldiers place, without
his pension, and isn't that patriotism?-

A MEAT SYNDICATE.
Efforts of Vanderbilt and Other Capital.
lists to Coatroi Chicago Beef.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Prominent packers
in this city have no doubt but that the
effort will be made by rich Eastern live
cattle dealers to break down the dressed and
canned meat business. 1t is understood
here that I. B. Eastman, John b. butcher
and William II. Vanderbilt of New York,
and Samuel Allcrtpn of Chicago haFe allied
themselves for this purpose, and that a
great war is on hand for the Western pack
ers. The Western syndicate wrote long
letter to Vanderbilt to-day, asking to be
treated honestly In this matter.
The alliance between the cattle and rail-
road men is dnc to the fact that meats, when
dressed lose 80 per cent in weight, and the
railroads thus lose half the freight. Wander
blt personally owns the greater share of the
stock yards here, valued at SIG, 900, 900.
Butchers in New York and elsewhere owe
Eastman over 81 900 600 for meats and thcy
are being ruined by the sale of cheap beef
from Chicago.
Vanderbilt's scheme for the formation of
a rival dressed beef company is thought to
be mere blind. Allertop, butcher, East
man and Vanderbilt want meats taken East
only on tho hoof. The danger is that Van
derbilt will try TO kill the business by rails
ing rates. He appears to be master of the
situation. An alliance between all the rail
roads and the great cattle millionaires would
certainly drive the Western packers from the
dressed beef business.

A DESPERATE DUEL.
Terrific Encounter Between Two Long
Island Farm Hands

NEW YORK, Nov l4.-There was des-
perate duel on the farm of Joshua w. Bar
mum, at East Meadow, near Hampstead, l..
l., on Sunday. The principals were Harry
Bechtel, n laborer, and Joseph Mas, a
blacksmith, both employed by Mr.. Barnum,
in connection with force of 25 men, who
performed the work on the farm. From
what can be gathered OF the Sabbath
tragedy, 1t appears that several OF
the farm Dands, including Mas and
Bechtrl, went to Hampstead village, where
engaged in wordy quarrel over woman,
but at East Meadow they separated, Mas
going to his house. Shortly aftcrward
Bechtel called at Mas house and knocked
at the door for admittance, and as soon as
the door was opened he made dash at Mas
and clutched him by the throat. Retaining
his hold on Mas, who was being checked
slowly to death, Bechtel drew knife, which
he had concealed upon his person, aud
plunged it repeatedly into the body of his
victim.
Mas finally secured pistol, and while
he was bleeding freely from nearly a dozen
wounds, he discharged it at Bechtel. The
latter fell to the floor, but he retained his
grasp upoh Mas and dragged him TO the
tloor. The pistol wound had told, however,
aud Bechtel tainted away. Mas extricatcd
himself aud dragged himself to bed, He
was weak from loss of blood and was suffer
ing from q painful wound beneath his right
eye. Subsequently Bechtel was found on
the ground outside of the house, lie was
insensiblc, but in his right hapd was
firmly grasped a bloodstaincd knife. Blood
was trickling from bullet wound under
his right eye, and it was believed that no
was dead.
Mr.. Barnum was sentsfor, and when he
arrived he discovered that Bechtel was
breathing feebly and a physician was sum-
moned. DIR. Ludlam, accompanied by
Coroner Denton, soon arrived, and both
men agreed that the bullet had lodged IN
such close proximity TO the brain as to
produce paralysis They express belief
that Bechtel lost all control over his actions
the moment he was shot, and that, there
fore, Mas must have received his half
dozen stab wounds before he discharged the
revolver at his assailant. Bechtel was re-
ported to be In Q dying condition yesterday,
! while Mas was In a fair way of recovery,
