A story is going the rounds ar

4 story is going the rounds at
the expense of Congressman
elect Tom" Ochiltree, which,
the Boston Traue1er says, is
vouched for as entirely correct by
that distinguished Texas states
man. Once when he and Mace
were both staying at the St.
Charles Hotel, New Orleans, he
remarked to a friend that the
"slugger" did not look to be a
very quick man, and finally made
made a bet of a basket Of wine
that he could give him a blow
and escape punishment by in
stantly apologizing, before the
lighter had time to put up his
fists. Accordingly, Ochiltfee APP
preached the champion Of the
ring, and without a word struck
him on the nose with his open
hand. But before he could open
his mouth to utter the apology,
the bystanders saw a vision Of a
fiery red head and moustache,
and a nice new dress suit pre-
sumed to inclose the figure of a
man, knocked from the end Of
the bar through the folding doors
out on the sidewalk. Ochiltree
was at once picked up and re-
paired by his friends. Then they
assisted him into Mace's pres
sence, and he explained that he
had tapped that worthy's nose
merely to carry out a wager, and
said he was sorry-which was
quite evident. Then that's hall

Economy has led to tree plant
ing on an extensive scale in the
far North and Northwest. Belts
of Timber are taking the places of
pine fences along the exposed
portions of the railroads where
some barrier must of necessity
be maintained against snow
drifts. The fences that have
been relied upon have to be
eight feet high, and, besides
costing $500 a mile, need con-
slant attention and repair. Fur
thermore, the farmers carry off
the boards, and. the stoutest oak
posts snap like pipe stems in a
thoroughgoing prairie gale.
Trees answer all requirements
much better. The white willow,
which grows to a height of II
feet in fouryears, has been found
to be the cheapest and best,
though the box elder, cotton
wood and green ash will serve.
The soil must be prepared by
narrowing, however, and prairie
soil. is often SO poor as to require
two or three years work. Even
then it is said that it is cheaper
toiise live fences than dead ones.
These tree fences are constructed
by planting two parallel lines of
trees on the side OF the tracks
exposed to the strongest winds,
aud one line on the other side.
