The descent" in this branch of the Endi-
colt family was almost as marked as the de-

the Secretary of War in the late Cabinet of
Mr.. Cleveland. who shot from eminence to
obscurity with rapidity rather greater than
was attained by any other member of that
doomed brotherhood.

One Hundred Years Ago,

There We're no express companies
then In $50 William F. Harndou, of
Boston, at the suggestion of some
friends. advertised that ne would make
regular trips as a messenger between
Boston and New York and would take
personal charge of such small pack
ages aud orders as were entrus ed to
him. He made his first trip March
OF that year. As matter of business
and to secure the influence OF the
press in the two cities. Mr. Harndou
brought news both ways in advance of
the mails. In 1910 an express was
put on the line via Norwich and NOR
cester by II. B. Burke and Allen Adj
ans. but the sole management OF the
business soon passed into the hands of
Mr.. Adams. w. B. Dinsmore soon
Joined Mr.. Adams and took charge OF
the New York end of the line. In
lsil the Harndon company extended
its line to Philadelphia and Albany.
The same year a new line was started
BY Henry Wells from Boston to the
West under the name OF Wells & Co.
In 1919 the Adams was extended to
California, aud in 1852 the Wells line,
under the name OF Wells. Fargo & Co.
reached the Pacific coast. From this
small beginning has grown up system
that has become a important and nee
e~sary a. the postal system itself, and,
N fact. should the latter be discontin-
ued large portion OF the postal BUSH
mess could be done by these companies.

Care of Shade Trees.

In every city and town there should
be a responsible officer. familiar with
trees and their requirements. whose
special duty should be the planting
and care of the street trees. CUTTING
off large branches from a healthy tree
reduces its vitality, and. of course.
should never be permitted. Severe
pruning may be resorted to when a
tree Is in a feeble or perishing condi-
ton, when such an operation NAV
stimulate vigorous growth A wound
made by cutting off branch, unless
1t Is Immediately protected by coat
ing OF coal tar or of paint, is liable to
be attacked with dry rot and other
fungus growth. and from the affected
surface the decay will gradually pene-
trate the whole tree and finally DESTROY
