And 10 know that after many

1t was, indeed, the day after the

and Israel Putnam was at work on his
farm in Pomfret, Conn. But he was
building a stone wall, with his hired

The Covthorpe Oak,

The largest tree in Great Britain,
and n OF the most famous, is the
Cowthorpe oak. in Yorkshire, which
is believed TO be some fifteen hundred
years old. When Evelyn wrote his
Silva" in the Seventeenth century,
its circumference at the ground was
7S feet, but later earth was banked up
around it. which covered some con.
siderable projections and reduced its
girth. At the beginning of the last
century its branches oyershadowed an
area OF half an acre Of ground. Tn
top or leading branch fell at some VI
recorded date. curiously slipping down
into the hollow trunk, where il re
manned. In the last century one Of
the main branches which was blown
down proved to be 30 feet in length
and yielded five tonso Of timber. When
carefully measured by DIR. Jessop in
1929 the girth of the tree at the
ground was GO feet, and at a yard
above i5 feet; the chief remaining
limb was 80 feet long. and its circum
ference 5 feet and the height of the
tree was As feet II was then hollow
to the top. For many years Saplings
raised from this tree were sold in pots
by the villagers for rs much as a
guinea apiece. II is now a venerable
ruin, but most picturesque in its de
cay. IL stands in a green paddock
carefully Protected from injury, w!a
its ancient limbs supported by props
an idea Of lis size may lie gathcrol

persons can stand within its cavity,

makes his claim good by furnishing his
countless patrons with the Very Best.
That he will have big rash on that

who is his superior in that line OF bust

The reason is plain.

spares no expense TO give his customers

in the business is such that he knows what
they want, and he furnishes il.
