ARBOR DAY.

Tomorrow is Arbor day, and it is to
be hoped that the people of Montana
will respond heartily to the governors
proclamation, and plant trees around
their homes, churches and school houses
wherever there is soil in which anything
will grow. Especially shold the school
children, under the direction of teachers,
be encouraged to do this work. Care,
intelligence and foresight should be ex-
ercised. The forest commissioner of
Colorado has issued directions for tree
culture in that state, which will be
equally applicable here. at is worse
than useless to plant trees" he says, sin
a situation where they cannot be prop
erly protected and watered and made to
thrive. In planting adjacent to school
buildings the boundaries of the walks
on the street or road are suitable places
for trees Within the grounds trees
should be planted in natural groups
rather than singly or in formal clumps
so as to preserve a lawn-like appearance.
Generally it is not we'll to plant trees in
close proximity to the school buildings.
Plant SO as to screen the outbuildings,
or cut off Objectionable views. Trees
from well-managed nurseries are prefer
able to those grown in forests, but any
we'll selected trees will serve" The
commissioner suggests that schools or
other organizations should employ ex-
perienced tree planters to do the actual
planting, heaps Of earth being left for
those to fill in who perform the more
ceremonious parts. The elements of
success in tree planting he summarizes
as follows:
/. Trees suitable to the soil and sur
rounding conditions.
2. A we'll developed root system, kept
in living condition.
3. Wide holes and mellow soil.
4. Firm packing Of soil around the
ROOTS
After the trees are planted it is highly
important that they should DO protected
by posts or rails, and the practice OF
hitching horses to them should be dis
eouraged by vigorous measures. School
children should be taught the import
ance Of letting the trees alone, and the
commissioner suggests that the children
might be interested in them if each tree
were named for some meritorious pupil,
and the child SO honored held response
bic for it's care.
But whether these hints are followed
or not, the people generally ought to OBJ
serve tomorrow as red letter day
And don't stop with arbor day, either;
plant trees on other days as we'll. The
different varieties may be transplanted
as late as June in this latitude, and if
our people planted on every day for the
next six weeks there would still be room
for more. But make sure of tomorrow.

WHERE THE TROUBLE Is,

y One of the newest of state cousttu-
tions is that of California, and yet the
Bar association of the state has institut-
ed an agitation of revision, alleging that
the rulings Of the courts have been SO
conflicting that it is practically impossi-
BILE to obtain decision now upon any
question involving large interests that is
not assailable by precedents. Besides
this, it is alleged that the business of
the courts is possible of being retarded
to such an extent, and often is so de-
layed, as to amount in many cases to a
denial of justice to litigants. 1t is not
improbable that the lawyers, in agitat-
ing for constitutional convention, are
upon the wrong scent. Laymen will
suspect that the adverse rulings of
judges are due to causes Interior to the
constitution, and to be found in the fact
that too often wealthy corporations have
had quite as much to do with the selec-
ton of the judiciary as with the choice
of political officers. c. P. Huntington's
remarks upon accepting the presidency
of the Southern Pacific railway company
on the 9th inst. were almost in the ma
ture of specific admission that his cor
poration had been quite as much in pol
itics as in the transportation business.
But Mr.. Huntington's record is not such
as to inspire confidence in the sincerity
of his promise that he would "never use
this great corporation to advance my
personal ambition at the expense of its
owners, or put my hands into its treas
ury to defeat the peoples choice, and
thereby put myself into positions that
should be filed by others. Corporations
should not be used to advance the inter
ests of this party or that, or to raise up
any one man or to pull down another,
and this corporation shall not be SO used
henceforth for such purposes if it's pres
ident can prevent it, Senator Stanford
may have been guilty of all of that OF
which Huntington by implication &C
cuses him, but those who recall the
Croker Huntingdon Hopkins expose OF
two years ago will believe the &C
cuser quite capable of doing as his
predecessor did, though possibly his
personal ambition may not lead him t.

States senate. If the Southern Pacifi,

There is legend concerning the death
Of Solomon, alluded to in the Koran and
found in the Chronicle Of Tabari, which is
to the following effect: Solomon en-
Ployed the genii in building the temple,
but, perceiving that his end was nigh at
hand, prayed God that his death might
be concealed from the genii until the
work was competed, for solomon knew
that II he died and the genii knew Of his
death they would leave of building.
Therefore he made himself staff from q
tree in his garden, and, leaning upon this
staff, with his head bowed in alteration,
he died in the temple. His soul was
taken 80 gently from him that the body
remained standing, so remaining for one
whole year. Those who saw him thought
he was absorbed in prayer and they dared
not approach him. Still the genii worked
night and day until the temple was COM
pleted, thinking that they were watched
in every detail by the master whose eyes
had many weeks before closed In death.
But during all this time little white ants
bad been gnawing at the staff and when
the temple was finished, long year after
the death Of Solomon, the staff crumbled
under bis weight and the body fell to the
ground. Mahomet alludes to this curious
legend in the following (see Koran sura
xxxiv): "when He (God) had decrsed
that Solomon should die, nothing discOv-
cred death to them tthe gently except the
creeping things Of the earth, which
gnawed his staff, and when his body fell
down the genii plainly perceived that II
they had known that which is secret
they would not have continued in a vile
punishment.

been quite helpless in their grasp-WOuld
indeed have been pounced upon by scores
Of them, overpowered, beaten and torn to
pieces. So, making virtue Of necessity,
I kept mp bold front, watched, waited
and prayed.
But my deliveranee was at hand. In
the midst Of one Of the most noisy discus
sions-or did IL not seem more noisy
because they were now 90 near2-they
one and all became suddenly silent and
perfectly still. They seemed to be listen
ing attentively. l listened, too, but at
first could catch no sound anywhere; the
stiffness Of death was all around, for even
the young monkeys had ceased their
tricks.
What could have disturbed and silenced
the noisy throng2 Next from afar of
came the loud cry Of q monkey-evi-
IDENTIFY the warning call Of o scout on out
post duty. Then, first family from afar,
and then gradually nearer and louder,
came, down the main road through the
woods, the welcome sound Of the clatter
Of horses hoois at q swift walking pace.
This It was which their quicker ears had
detected dlong before had heard Il. They
kept their ground for q few moments
more, but their attention was now evil
IDENTIFY divided between me and the ap-
preaching horse. Again, and nearer, the
scouts cry sounded through the wood.
There was an immediate stampede. One
and all the monkeys rushed of 10 the
neighboring trees, and, scrambling up
the trunks and into the branches, they
were in twinkllng Of an eye lost TO sight
In the leafy canopy overhead. They had
disappeared in their hundreds as rapidly
as they had come, save when the rustling
among the leaves indicated their course
as they passed from tree TO tree and fed
further into the woods.
l waited still against the tree till the
horse and his rider-a mounted police
man going his rounds-had come quite
near, then l made for the house and
bolted myself in, thankful for the timely
arrival and involuntary aid Of the uncon-
scious patrol. Unknowingly, but provi-
dentially, he saved my life.

But Carruthers, who had shown pow.
ers of endurance almost superhumar
In the face Of the pain and weakness he
had sternly combated for so many hours,
now gave In suddenly and utterly; for
the fell disease which already had him
so firmly in its grasp would DO held at
bay no longer. By the next morning
he was unable to speak; and almost
before they realized that he was
in danger, he was beyond all hu-
man help. He bado no farewell to
the girl he loved, or the man whose life
he had saved, but passed almost imper.
ceptibly from heavy dream like Stupor
into death itself.
As for Leslie, she did not even know
the poor fellow was III until he had been
dead some hours; for when she heard
that Darrell still lived and that he was
out Of immediate danger, she crept away
to her own room and lay down on her
bed, utterly worn out and exhausted.
And as the doctor forbade her enter.
ing tho sick room again, she consented TO
take the sleeping draught he prepared
for her, and slept soundly and dream
lessly for many hours. And for that
She felt certain she could have saved the
one life as she had saved the other.
She went home that same afternoon
the afternoon Of CarTuthers' death, I
mean-escorted by Wellings; and Aunt
Priscilla, who had been mourning her a.
dead, received her with tears Of Joy.
When Miss Carlyon heard her niece's
story she insisted that Capt Darrell

nursed him into convalescence herself

knew that now, more than ever, Il was
Of the last importance that he should
have constant nourishment. And, alasl
she had given him the last Of the brandy
an hour ago. She had no more soup for
him either, the little jar Of Hebig was
empty. As the hours went on Q kind Of
sick despair came over her-A terrible
sense Of her own impotence.
About midnight she opened the front
door and looked out It was q dark,
starless night, and raining heavily. But
no sound Of footsteps or voices came
through tho darkness. She closed the
door with sinking heart and went back
to DarrellS room again, her childish face
white and set, and hopeless. For she
haN lost all hope now. he was lying
quite still-so still that Leslie felt her
heart almost stop beating. Had the end
come so soonf She knelt beside the bed
In an abandonment Of grief and terror,
and gazed wildly into the sick mans
changed, haggard face-the face that In
those few short days had become 90 mex
pressibly dear TO her.
He did not breathe.
"oh, my dear, my dear" she cried.
shave you left me then-and love you
sol love you sol" And she hid her face
in her hands In q fearless agony Of sobs
Darrell's voice made her start vio-
lently. His eyes wero open and shone
with an infinite love and tenderness.
"Leslier he murmured indistinctly, as
she seized his hand and (hardly knowing
what she did, poor child, In her passion
ate relieD held It to her lips. Leslie

His voice died away; his eyes closed.
"Lancelot" she shrieked, In q par
oxysm Of mingled grief and uncontrolla-
BILE physical fear. "Speak to me-just
one wordT
He did not answer. She laid her little
hand on his heart It was still.
Then she know that he would never
speak to her again.
She could not cry, and was conscious
Of vague wonder that she could not
Trembling in every limb, she crouched
close to the bed, her eyes fastened on the
worn, still face Of which she already felt
Q nameless fear. And yet she dared not
go out Of the room. A nervous horror
Of she knew not what possessed her, and
froze her blood Darrell's watch lay on
the dressing table; its loud ticking was
distinctly audible through the stiffness
The rain swept at intervals against the
windows. The candle burnt down in its
socket. The kitchen clock struck 1, and
the sound seemed to echo eerily through
the silent house.

four WALLS.


'Tay, old fellow" muttered Darrell
late that night, when the other had been
vainly persuading him to have q spoon
full Of timed soup he had heated for
him, keep laway from sme as much as
you can. I know what this Is now.
It's diphtheria, and it's horribly infec-
tious."
"oh, no, Il isn't, old man; it's Just bad
cold, you know" said Carruthers hastily.
But he felt more alarmed at Darreli's
looks than he would have cared to own;
and, as matter Of fact, he was begin
ming to feel queer enough himself, for
his own throat was just sufficiently pain
full to render swallowing very disagree
able necessity, and his limbs felt as tired
and heavy as though he had been walk
ing for days.
81 wish there was anything 1 could
do" he went on In O troubled voice.
Tho other smiled family.
Leave me alone, there's q good old
chap" he said, YEARLY and indistinctly.
"It's no use. don't think I shall see
another night This sort Of thing loses
no time, you know"
"Twish you wouldn't talk like thai, Oar
rell, reconstructed Carruthers. "Why,
well have you a. well as ever In o couple
Of days" he added, with poor attempt
at cheerfulness.
In the morning, however, Darrell could
not speak above q whisper, and hardly
that. he was not unconscious, but ut
terly PROSTATE and powerless. he shook
his head when Carruthers brought him q
cup Of coffee, and altogether seemed 90
far through that the other went back to
tho sitting room with terribly anxious
look in his bonnie blue eyes and Gu
rious, unwonted tightening at his heart.
For they had been friends, indeed al.
most brothers, since their school days.
Leslie looked up quickly ashe entered
"How Is heT" she asked In q voice that
shook perceptibly.
Every bad" was the brief answer.
"Is he worse, do you thinkY' she fall
tered.
"HS'S about a. bad as he can be, ," he
answered In q choked voice. He BIT his
lips nervously and then burst out: "oh,
say, Miss Heath. I can't help thinking
it's all up with the dear old fellow.
You've no idea how III he d. he says
himself he'll not last through another
night Good Godi It's awful to be ahut

cofIea.

risen from the chair, nervously grasping
the table with both her hands
"Do you mean-that he will-disT' she

Marketing Fruit.

The time is near at hand when the
farmers will be compelled 70 use more
care in marketing fruit. The area planted
In fruit in this county is being increased
each year. When these new orchards
come into bearing It will be necessary to
use more care in picking and packing. II
will not do to bring apples in sacks,
cracker and coal-oil boxes. To command
the best price fruit must be carefully
picked and packed in neat clean boxes Of
standard size. Attractiyeness is the great
point with buyers, for customers purchase
fruit by appearances. 1t will not do to
pack poor fruit. More money will be
realized from one box Of selected hand
some fruit than from two boxes Of mixed
or poor fruit. The freight on poor fruit
is the same as on good and will not sell
even at u poor figure with readiness. The
man who packs poor fruit not only in
iures himself, but his neighbor who packs
a good quality. II we who live in Yakima
consult our best interests we will be care
full TO pack only good fruit. Icannot give
q better guide for packing than to say
Pack only such fruit as you would be will
ing 10 go into the market and buy for
your own use. This matter of packing
only good fruit applies to vegetables and
everything the farmer has TO sell. The
man who puts fair looking but hollow,
black and worthless potatoes on the
market as good ones g injuring himself
not only financially but morally, and in.
jures the reputation Of his neighbor's pro-
duce. Such man is on par with the
real estate man who tries to sell the new.
conner seeking home worthless grease
wood and alkali land. I would recon-
mend to every grower Of fruit to get and
read the instructions published by Moser,
Doyne & Co., East Portland, Oregon.
It is to the interest Of the fruit growers
Of this county to organize fruit growers
association and to establish a standard
and compel the growers to come up to II
or lose sales. All the older fruit growing
communities are thus organized. Fruit
packages could be obtained by the guam
tity from the factory and 4 great saving
made. Reduced rates from the railroad
company, proper cars for carrying fruit
and care in hurrying to destination are a
few Of the many advantages that would
result from such an organization.

 BERLIN, Nov. 15.-At No. 28 Lune' burger strasse, the headquarters of Pro, lessor 6Koch's assistant, Dr. Libbertz, where the lymph is advertised for sale, the vestibule of the palatial house is densely thronged by applicants and the street crowded by carriages, all come to procure supply of lymph.
 At Dr. Levy's clinical hospital 8 con- sumptive child 12 years of age died shortly after receiving the first injection of the lymph. The death, however, is explained in this case by the injection being merely forlorn hope, as the child was too far gone.
 Koch still keeps the ingredients of the lymph secret, as new chemical products cannot be patched by German law. Within one week all consumptive patients in the Hamburg hospitals will be inoculated.
 There is a remarkable exodus of con. sumptives from the resorts on the shores or the Me016erranean 6o Berlin, ana the hotels are filling fast with such persons, A large number of American physicians have also given notice of their intention to be preDeat on the occasion of Doctor Koch's lecture on November 26.
