MOVING A BIG TREE.
Giant Cherry Taken Up md Moved

A Giant Cherry Taken Up md Moved
to Another Place.
From the Lowell Mail.
Just before midnight one night in the
middle CT February last a cherry tree, with
earth attached, weighing twelve and three
quarter tons, began the passage from the
Jefferson Knowles estate at Pawtucket
and Fletcher streets to the grounds of ex-
Mayor Fields residence in Middlesex
street.
The tree was on sled, and the way it
got off there Is an interesting story. Dur
ing the cold snap trench was dug around
the tree, which is an old one, and grown
on the grounds. The trench described
circle six feet from the tree. 1t was sew
eral feet deep. The tree was propped up
so that it could not fall, and then the earth
was dug from under the roots, until the
tree stood free, except that a platform Of
earth two feet deep and twelve feet in
diameter chung to it. The roots and the
frost held the earth intact.
Then the tree was tipped over gently
with jacks to measure it's length on the
ground, so that the, twelve-foot circle of
horizontal earth was made perpendicular.
More jackscrews were used to raise the
circle of frozen earth, SO that the sled was
slipped under it, and then it was lowered
and the horses pulled the combination out
of the orchard. Wooden shears braced the
Keeling tree on the sled. All this was done
a couple of weeks ago. The earth cracked
during the work, and the cracks were
plastered with mud and allowed to freeze
tight.

The Whole Car Shifted and Smellcd
Her LfnimeMt.
From the Denver Times.
She was a prim, tall woman Of the class
called old maids. Her gown was spick and
span and she wore stylish cape. Her hat
was broad trimmed. 1t lent suggestion Of
youth to head over which forty summers
had passed.
She stepped on Broadway car and chose
a place near the front door. In her hand
she carried handsome leather shopping

slight spasm contracted her mouth and a
frown made little ridges in the pearl pow
der on her forehead. but she was soon sit
ting up very straight and prim, with her
full black skirt carefully spread out, so
that not a peep at her feet could be had
by the horrid men opposite.
About thirty seconds after the woman's
appearance every one in the car began to
sniff. The staid business man looked over
thu top of his newspaper and then cough

drew long breath and buried his nose in

The old maids face was crimson. Her
feathers were in a perfect palsy of indig-

stop the car, and gathering up her pre-

AS she stepped off the car the dapper

Gave Away His Birthday.

From the New York Times.
A charming story of Robert Louis Steven
son sees the light now, 1t is believed, for
the first time. He was visiting friend,
afterward consul to Samoa, in Northern
Vermont. This gentleman had little
daughter about eleven years old, who very
speedily became devoted friend of the
novelist.
In pouring forth her joys and sorrows in
existence, she confided to Mr.. Stevenson the
woeful fact that she was born on the 29th
day of February. and, therefore, had en-
joyed only two birthdays in all her eleven
years. The poet sympathized not only in
comforting words, but also in action. He
medtated a few moments, then went to
the writing desk and drew up the following
document:
Il, Robert Louis Stevenson, in a sound
state of mind and body. having arrived at
that age when I no longer have any use
for birthdays. do give and bequeath my
birthday, on the 18th Of November to Miss
Adelaide Ide, to be hers from this year as
long as she wishes 1t.
ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON"
The little girls delight at this rare and
most welcome gift has shown Its appre-
citation once year through several years
of birthdays, and now the anniversary will
be doubly treasured.

Montgomery Blair was in Lincoln's cabinet,

ness and validity of Lincoln's proclamation
of emancipation. They claimed that he
could not emancipate the slaves in Ken

secession were passed, and which, as states,
we're never in rebellion. So they put their
heads together and the thirteenth and
fourteenth amendments were invented, to
cover up whatever emancipationary short
ages might legally exist The evolution and
adoption of these amendments were due
mainly to Lyman Trumbull.

The CurfeW Bell in Iowa.


Several of the smaller towns of the state
are adopting the o'clock curfew bell, to
be rurg as a warning for children to leave
the streets unless accompanied by their
elders Even Creston is credited with the
revival Of this institution. The custom is
little old and a little odd, but it is not to
be despised on that account. There is only
one place for children at night, say, after
o'clock. and that is at home. Children be-

different times in different children, who

The curfew bell smacks little of pater-
nalism, but it should be remembered by
those who object to paternalism that the
city government, which undertakes to ring
the curfew bell, simply undertakes to
make it possible for parents to train their
own children in the ways they should go.
So is every compulsory school law pater-
relstic.

between the underfed laborer of Italy and

DURRANTS TRIAL BEGINS IN s

Asks For n Change of Venue, and

VIII Tire the Patience of the
Court.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 22.-The trial
of William Henry Theodore Durrant for
the murder of Blanche Lamont in Eman-
uel Baptist church last April. began this
morning.
Upon its conclusion, he VIII be tried
for the murder Of Minnie Williams, com
mitted in the same edifice.
The sheriff avoided the crowds who
waited around the jail and city hall thin
morning to see the defendant. p
Durrant was taken from his cell at So
and was driven to the city hall in an open
buggy, accompanied only by the chief
jailer. Crowds waited TO see the pris-
oner for hours. but all were disappointed.
None were admitted TO the court room
but attorneys, witnesses and reporters.
The attorneys for the defense moved
for a change of venue, with the privi-
lege of renewing the motion if il should
be found impossible to secure an I'M
biased jury or should such a state of feel
ing be developed as would make a fair
trial improbable.
In support of the motion, Uurrant pre-
scented a bulky affidavit containing all
the articles published in local papers
connecting Durrant with the Emanuel
church murders. The reading occupied
the entire day and Will be resumed to-
morrow. Durrant'S incarceration has
made him paler but stouter. During the
court proceedings. he displayed no feel
ing and little interest.
