Bryant evidently had a special
fondness for trees, for besides the
poem from which we have just quoted
he wrote no less than five others on
the same general subject, all of which,
are more or less popular.
Bayard Taylor is as we'll known by
his two poems on trees, "The Palm

The latter has this fine stanza:

In Longfellow are many choice
and quotable lines on this subject.
For example, these on the hemlock

Green not alone in Summer time
But in the Winters frost and rime
o hemlock tree! o hemlock tree! how faithful

Worms Are Dsnading the Forests.

George Gregory, Of Meridian
whose business takes him back into
the mountains, was in town yester.
day with specimens of a worm that
threatens to destroy the pine forests
He procured the worms on ShafeI
creek, bringing in some branches
also to show how thoroughly they
do their work.
The worm is about an inch long
and is green in color. It feeds upon
the foliage, literally stripping Of
everything as it goes. Passing into
the pura state, it attaches itself to
the limb as a green cocoon. When
developed it comes forth % = white
butterfly. myrisds Of these Wilton
ing the tops of the pines.
Mr.. Gregory says the inroads Of
this insect are likely to destroy vast
areas Of pine forest, a. the foliage i
all consumed. Last year the worms
operated over I large tract bat this
year their work has been immeas-
urably ded.-Statesman.

from Ketchum ii attendance b
sides many Of the visitors 1t th,
SPRING. were present ia tho pavil
ion to participate il the max,
dance.
The music was fine, the orchestr,
being composed Of sAeesrs. George
]. Lewis, Horace G. Lewis, John
Runyan and George Stewart, who
presided at the piano. The in.
clemency Of tho weather prevented
many Of the society people from
HALEY and Bellevue from being
present q: the hop. 1t is remarked
that the announcement Of social
affair Of any sort at the Guyer Hot
Springs is the harbinger Of q storm.
II can be as safely depended upon
40 Professor Hicks meteorological
signals.
Showers had fallen at Intervals
all through the day, butswhen the
dance commenced the rain had sub
sided. During the evening the
lowering clouds looked oninous
and peals Of thunder rent the air.
The hotel verandas were thronged
with guests, while bursts of merry
laughter rang out from the happy
couples who were enjoying a prom
enade on the beautiful grounds. At
II O'Clock the spacious hotel din
ing room was thrown open and the
guests invited to partake of de-
licious supper served gratis by Man
ager Stewart and his estimable wife.
The guests took their departure at
an early hour as a sudden dissolu-
ton OF the waterv elements was
imminent. The night was dark as
Erebus, and the drivers of the We
hicles could not discern the horses
before them. There were several
runaway accidents, but fortunate
ly there were no serious results. A
few moments after the departure OF
a gallant bachelor and lady, whom
he escorted to the hop, in a single
buggy drawn by a fiery steed,
feminine shrek fell upon the mid
night air which startled the owls
and bats in their rookeries, and
then was heard the sound Of Whoa,
whoa, there" from a manly voice.
There was sudden plunge Of one
IF the occupants of the buggy, and
flash of lightning revealed fra
5ile form emerging from the irri-
eating ditch. And the bachelor,
III, where was he? Sitting astride

rom his perilous position just in
line to prevent tragic fate. Well,
t took two buses end a single
buggy to convey the victims Of the
Iccident and the debris Of their
oilets to ketchuln. Suffice it to
ay had it not been for the timely
of divine Providence,

What About St. Thomas Church?

Sometime in April, 1894. over q
year ago, during the annual visit OF
Bishop Talbot to ketchum, the
KEYSTONE was authorized to make
the following statement relative to
the purchase of Union church 70,
the use Of tie Episcopalians Of this
parish:
Union Church now belongs to the Epis-
copal parish of Krtchum. It was, pur
chased by Mrs. Conrad of PhiIadclphi. a
member Of the Pennsylvania Branch OF
the Auxiliary, aud was presented by her
to tins parish. Money for the returnish-
ing Of the church for 40 Episcopal chapel
has been presented by another lady MEM
Der Of the same society, the work to be
done in July. The church will lie dedi
Gated "St. Thomas" in memory Of the
donors deceased sou.
II seems evident that there is lit
tie interest manifested by Bishop
Talbot in st. Thomas church. The
Episcopalians in Ketchum are as
much entitled to a chapel where
they can conduct divine worship ac-
cording to the rituals of the church
Ms the Episcopalians Of other towns
in the state, especially when money
was donated over a year ago for the
refurnishing and fitting up of the
church for chapel. Ii ketchum
was as deserted as the village which
Goldsmith so touc!ling!y describes
in one Of his well-known poems,
there would be some excuse fur
such neglect, but our little town
has as bright an outlook as other
towns in the state Of Idaho, where
large amounts have been expended
in building Episcopal churches and
rectories for the residen: ministers.
Now, why is this delay to expend
the money donated for the benefit
Of ST. Thomas church?
