TREE PLANTING TBiE-As tree planting
time has arrived, the following from the
Red Bluff Cause is worthy the considera
ton of farmers
Now is the time for tree planting The
ground is still warm and in good condition
to encourage the growth of new roots
Trees to be transplanted now should be
taken up carefully, taking care to secure
as much root as possible, and set out as
soon as possible. Have the holes for them
prepared before the tree is taken up, for if
any OF the roots to tree once become
dry the chances for its growing are consid-
erably lessened. See to it that the holes
are large enough for the roots to be spread
out in natural manner, and do not crowd
the roots into bunch, but take time to do
youz work right if you expect trees to
thrive. Set your tree in as near the same
position it occupied before you removed it
as possible and about an inch deeper in the
ground. Hold it up straight and cover the
roots with fine mellow dirt, and when you
have five or six inches of dirt over them,
should the weather be dry, or the trees
have been taken up long time before.
pour pailfull of water into the hole be-
fore filling 1t up. Pack the earth firmly
around the trunk of the tree, and if it
needs support set stout stake beside it
and tie your tree to it. Always strip off
all the leaves from tree that you set out
at this time of the year, for by so doing
you turn the energies OF the tree to making
new roots, and in the spring it will come
ont full of beautiful leaves as if it had
never been moved. II you desire to beau
tify your home by planting trees now is
the very best time to do it, and if you fol-
low our directions you will succeed in
securing fine growth tbs very first season.

of earth and lava. Toward morning the
detonations changed into an incessant
Tumbling. The weather was bright and
clear, but unaccountably cold. The ami.

terror. Whatever had wings filled the air

TIE VOICES OF THE SEA.

Along the shell-wreathed, shining strand
The old and young went to and fro,
The sinking sun fillei all the land
With evenings rich and rudy glow.
The hot clouds in the amber west
Lit up the sea-kissed shingly bars,
And weary ones who longed for rest
Waited the dawning Of the stars.
There came the murmur Of the sea
Along the soft sands Of the shore;
Twas laden with deep mystery,
And music strange was in its roar.
And, as the voices Of its waves
We're borne upon the listening ears,
They sang alike of songs and graves,
OF sunny hearts and sacred tears.
There passed a little bIue-syed boy,
As sank the sun on oceans brim
Naught but the sound of endless joy
Across the red waves came to him.
For his bright fancy chased the sun
Ger seas OF emerald and gold;
And the sweet life he had begun,
Its first fair scenes had now unrolled.
With merry heart maiden came,
The shining, sunlit sands along.
To her the sea bore one dear pane
Amidst the burden of its song;
And the ten thousand gatherings
That stretched across the sunlit bay,
Seemed messengers on golden wings
From her true loved one far away.
There came a man of full four-score
Into the twilight all alone.
To him tine sea broke on the shore
With solemn sway and sulen moan
The voices of the bygone years
Came family on its sad refrain;
Yet when he called, mid rising tears,
On friends, they answered not again.
Still sank the sun. Then rose the stars,
And looked down on the cold gray shore
Still solemny the moaning bars
Walled low their music as of yore.
And some with sad eyes met the night,
To pass its watches all forlorn;
And some there slept mid visions bright
TIL dawned the fragrant, rosy morn.
II All the Year Round.

he GOT THE GIRL.

a giddy but decidedly young married
couple arrived at the wharf at the foot of
Francis street in skif yesterday morning
The young husband jumped out as the
prov touched the bank, and after mooring
his frail craft, assisted his female partner
out, when Gazette reporter, who happened
to be present, took an inventory of their
cargo, which consisted of a frying-pan,
cotfee-pot, and three or four we'll worn bed
quilts. The reporter asked the "captain"
| for an account Of his trip. He said he
| would give it, provided his name should
not appear. He was told to proceed, and
his name, which he did not withhold,
should not be given. He stated that he
was Is years of age and resident of Sioux
City, that he fell in love with the girl who
is now his wife-a shy matron Of I5-but
that the girls mother would not listen to
their marriage. The old woman was called
away to Kansas City and the couple
concluded to take advantage of her
absence and get married while she was
gone. They carried out this programme
and were united in wedlock last
Tuesday morning. Knowing that it
wouldn't do to remain in Sioux City until
g the old woman returned, and being of
ratner romantic turn OF mind, they de-
termined on bridal tour in skiff down
the river, SO they got together a camp out
fit and started on their journey, lying by
at night and sleeping on the bank of the
river. The young groom frankly admitted
that he was dead broke and wished to find
a purchaser for his skif and outfit. In
this he was successful, and soon, arm.in-
arm, he and his girl trudged up to the Hut
ton House. Seeing his bride snugly en-.
sconced, he sailed forth to see the town,
but as he stayed over his allotted time the
bride put on her bonnet and started out to
hunt her hege lord. She had been gone
but few minutes when the young Bene.
dict returned, and finding his wife gone he
INDUCED ia a regular old.fashioned boo boo
and then started out to find her. He was
successful, and they returned as happy as
