Best Success with Small Trees.

Only occasionally, under favorable
circumstances, with the greatest care
and skill, are large trees successfully
removed, and the exceptional instances
are those in which the little feeding
roots-the only ones of much benefit in
sustaining life-are retained. But a
small, healthy tree may be dug with all
it's roots undisturbed, so that with care
in handling when out of the ground,
and with due attention to planting, we
may reasonably expect it to grow Wig
orously, if not the first season, assuredly
the next When tree is debilitated
from any cause, especially by loss OF
the feeding roots, it requires often
long time to recover.
Even cutting off the tops to counter
balance less of roots is only partial
remedy, as nothing can fully compen-
safe for the absence of these important
organs. During removal endeayOr to
ii 1sa the Il ,ai4id eHapnra1in rrhieh is
constantly taking place through the
branches. In large trees this is so
great that frequently all the sustenance
is drawn from the roots before the tree
is planted. Wrapping tops as well as
roots in damp cloths, when out of the
ground, and moistening them occasion
ally, is undoubtedly of value. Small
specimens, having so few obstacles to
overcome, rarely fail if properly cared

FOR OUR YOUNG READERS.
TWO FAIRIES.

Sometimes and quite often, I'm thinking,
A naughty black elf comes around ,-o
He steals through the cracks and the Key
holes
without ever making a sound.
He Greens close beside little Kittie,
And saws naughty things in her ear,
| always can tell by the shadows
If this wicked old fairy is here.
No matter what Kittie is doing
No matter how good she has Deen-
Her face will be clOuded all over
AS soon as that fairy gets III.
He makes her grow cross and act naughty,
He spoils every bit of her play;
Most always he gets her III trouble
Before she will send him away.
His name? Oh, his name is lll-Temper.
He makes other folks naughty, too;
And they always seem willing to have him.
I'm sure that wouldn't, would you?
There's anOther-a bright little fairy,
Whose coming hail with delight.
She drives away naughty lll-Temper,
And makes cloudy faces grow bright
She comes through the wide-Open window,
And rides on the suns golden beams,
| always can tell when she's near us,
So different everything seems.
She cheers us with words of sweet comfort,
She puts naughty frownS out of sight.
/ wish she would dltCdyS stay with us
This fairy, so loving and bright.
She paints all the world in bright colors,
She helps us our burdens to bear;
And she is always looking for others
To comfort, encourage and cheer
Her name? She is sweet Loving Kindness.
wish she was often around;
For the household is happier, better,
Wherever this fairy is found.

A TEXAS RAZOR-BACK.

how a Yankee Palmed One of Them Off
on Native for a Full-Blooded Berl-
shire.
In Texas, as elsewhere, there are any
number of queer roosterS who think
that the editor of the local paper wears
the habiliments of poverty and nibbles
at the fea-bitten crackers and pallid
cheese of the free lunch counter for no
other purpose than to furnish Thomas
Richard and Henry with facilities for
ventilating their private grievances in
his paper.
The worst one | ever saw was Sim
Holman, who had ranch on Calaveras
Creek, and who came to town once
week to transact business a part of
which was getting drunk, and giving
me advice as to how to write local
items.
One afternoon while at work at my
desk there was a smell of whisky in the
air. and few minutes later on in came
SIM Holman, showing his whisky-laden
breath in front of himself so to speak.
1t was evident that he had something
is mind besides whisky.
He Shutdown yeiy close to me, and
although managed to shut off some
of the distillery aroma with palm-leaf
fan, got enough of it to make me
think | was in Austin during a session
of the Legislature. He was Just drunk
enough to talk fiuently. He remarked;
There's hatchet-faced Yankee liv-
ing near my ranch, who should be de-
nounced by the BNgle as an enemy of
the South He has swindled me in a
hog trade. You can draw little, can't

Just little.'
II want you to draw some pictures
of the hog he sold me. He sold me
razor-back for Berkshire. He sold me
one of these slab-sided razor backs,
that prowls about the woods, living on
acorns, but can spare time to climb un-
der the fence and help harvest the corn
crop rather than let it spoil for want of
attention. 1t was one of them pigs that
is so thin it cant crawl through little
hole if you tie knot on the end of its
tail That's the kind of swine that

Tho SnnofnrS Ia f.s"

HURON, Oak. Dec. 12.-The hotels are
thronged te-night with Legislators, who seem
to have come more for visiting and getting
acquainted than otherwise. Very little is
said concerning their labors or what they
expect to accomplish Monday. No plan
for action is arranged or suggested. The
only matter of interest mentioned is the
United States senatorship, and this is
so lightly and carelessly treated that it is
possible to guess with any degree of
certainty who will be chosen candidates,
themselves are not very active. though tits
plain they are each on the still hunt.
Campbell of Yankton seems to have the
preference. and is closely followed by
Moody of Deadwood. Edgerton is third,
and Smith brings up the rear. His prom
ised circular is not yet made public. j. II.
Drake of Aberdeen is candidate for clerk
