evening Eyes, know of aease. In
fact, was the prisoners attorney. It
happened in Missouri about 30 years ago
and was one of my first cases.
1T was this way" continued the
lawyer as he got comfortably settled
down. IA farmer had horse stolen,
and the animal was followed for ten
miles and found under q shed in the
suburbs Of the town where lived At
the same time they found a man in hid
ing. He refused to give any account OF
himself, and when charged with being
the horse thief he did not deny 1t. It
was not until he was put ON trial in the
higher court that was retained. He
stoutly declared his innocence and had
several men on hand to prove his good
character, abut he wouldn't account for
his whereabouts on the night the horse
was stolen. Inot only felt sure Of his
guilt, but had no show to make for him
and wasn't disappointed when he was
convicted offhand. AS to tie 'circum-
stantiai' part, they proved that he knew
the horse and had said he felt tempted
to steal it; also that he was seen that
evening within mile of the farmers
barn. Horse hairs were found OH his
trousers legs, and he was in hiding
near the horse Everything pointed to
his guilt, and the jury made quick work
of him.

mot bit Of it. After he had been
sentenced for three years his wife came
to me and wanted me to advise him to
tell the truth. She knew it all the time.
He was out that night with two other
men to rob store, and they got away
with wagon load Of goods. He was set
to watch, and while thus serving was
run into the shed by the men in pursuit
Of the horse thief. The latter got away
and the other was captured. To give his
gang time to get away he let himself be
taken to Jail and was ultimately tried,
convicted and sentenced. He had NO
more to do with the horse than had -

three years for stealing horse, but If
he owned up to the store robbery he'd
get from 10 to 10. told him to shut
up, and the advice was SO good that
got $50 for it. Yes, circumstantial evil

And this region, SO favored by ma

Of the state was in its beginnings made
up of more varied elements than the

Dutch from New York have left in
name and character their impress upon
the Berkshire people of today. Spiritual
and intellectual forces were largely
prominent in the laying of it's founda-
tions, and such forces have contributed
and continued their influences ever
since.
Missionary zeal, represented by such
names as Eliot and Sergeant, founded
Stockbridge. Jonathan Edwards here
spent the years which represented the
prime and fullness of his powers.
Ephraim Williams, the fighter in the
French and Indian war, dying on the
battlefield, left his fortune to plant and
endow the college which bears his name,
Mark Hopkins. Berkshire born and
bred, another Arnold Of Rugby, set his
stamp upon a whole generation,
throughout its history soldiers, saints
and scholars have both represented and
impressed its life. The reasonings of
Jonathan Edwards, which for good and
evil have had so great an influence up
on theological thought, found their most
powerful expression in his treatise on
the will, which was written while he
lived in Stockbridge. Lenox heard the
last public utterances of Charming; his
successor, Orville Dewey, born 100 years
ago (1794) at Sheffield, long made that
place his home, and there, too, were
born the two Barnards, one the presi-
dent of Columbia college. the other the
soldier scholar of our civil war. Oliver
Wendell Holmes lived for years at
Pittsfeld. Catharine Maria Sedgwick
drew around her at Stockbridge and

years her home. Longfellow, Lowell,
Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Beecher,

Three years ago we were crossing the

Trees That Die When Men Live Near Them

Trees That Die When Men Live Near Them.
The deaths of nearly all the pine
trees in Asbury Park give rise to an in.
teresting question as to whether or not
it is true that this tree is SO wild by ma
ture that it will not endure domestica-
ton. It is the breed of pine that grows
in the sand close to the seashore OF
which this seems to be true Asbury
Park is built upon former sea beach
extending three miles inland to the edge
Of the great forest that reaches from Ea-
tontown, back Of Long Branch, to Cape
May. This forest is called "The Pines, "
because Of the preponderance Of pine
trees in it, the other trees that are plen-
tiful there being mainly oaks Of four
varieties, with few magnolias, tulips,
sassafras and hickory trees and holles
and laurels.
The pines still flourish in the woods
behind Asbury Park, but in the town a
large fraction of the few that remain
are sickly and dying. Thousands have
died and been cut down since the tree
empowered town was built in the woods
a quarter of century ago. The viii
layers say they die because it kills them
to have human beings walk beside them.
They say that even in the forest the
pines that stand beside the footpaths are
the first to die Others credit their de-
struction in the village to the shaking
of the earth by the heavy trolley cars
and steam railway trains, and still 9TH
ers declare that taanuring, watering
and topsoiling the sandy ground is what
has done the damage. The truth is yet
to be determined, but certain it is that
they are dying fast, and that already
