An American Experiment.
A $50, 900 Apple Tree.

An expensive apple tree stands on tho
Albert Smith farm In South Strabane
Township, near Washington, Pa. 1t
has cost its owner over $45 900. In 1887,
when the Smith pool-gushers COM
ruin speculators, the company which
held the lease on the Smith farm de-
cided to locate a well near the boundary
line Of the Cameron and Smith prop
critics.
The owner Of the land objected to the
location, claiming that If made on the
spot chosen a favorite apple tree would
have to be cut down. The manager Of
the drilling company, believing that the
location was a promising one. decided
to gain his end and get even with the
troublesome landowner at the same
time.
He had the timbers hauled a few feet,
changed the intended positions Of the
derrick and boiler house. placed them
Just across the line on the Cameron
farm and drilled the hole within few
feet Of the original location. The well
produced 5000 barrels Of oil per day.
A large percentage Of this petroleum
must have come from under the Smith
farm, but the hole was on Cameron's
land, and he, of course, received the
royalty. The we'll is still producing oil
and the Camerons' share Of the output
has reached over S45.OOO.
The apple tree still lives, but has been
ruined BY the closeness Of the we'll

belief in the COloners guilt. That he

hoped that she would not introduce the

even to simulate credulity. Indeed, a
feeling of camaraderie which he himself

OAK FORESTS OF AMERICA.

Rapid Disappearance of Woods that
Were Once the Nations Pride.
The magnificent oak forests north OF
the Ohio river. in the central part Of
the Northern States, have largely dis
appeared. Within the last five years
there has been an increasing demand
for oak In spite of business depression,
more especially for such timber as goes
Into house finishing, including plain
and quarter-sawed oak and white oak.
The duration of the Wisconsin red oak
supply is now pretty plainly indicated,
and In the meantime remnan<s of In
diana, Ohio, Michigan and southern ILL
nois oak will have disappeared, except
In small farm holdings, and the great
bulk Of the supply will thereafter come
from south Of the Ohio. OF course,
there IL oak In all the Southern States,
but the alluvial bottom lands must fur
nish the great bulk of the timber, and
as Kentucky and Tennessee and West
Virginia are partly denuded, the main
supply will soon be derived from the
lower Mississippi and its tributaries.
If the finest area Of oak timber in the
world, namely, that north Of the Ohio
river. has been stripped while the
country's population and industries
were comparatively small, how long
will the remaining supply last when the
needs are measured by our future pop
ulation and Industrial development?
Walnut is gone; cherry, birch and ma
pie will not last many years, and there
fore the demand for oak VIII be much
greater and will rapidly increase. 1t
must be remembered, too, that oak
lands are good for agriculture after
the timber Il cut, and for this reason
the denudation will 60 on with greater
rapidity than on the lands less valua-
BILE for tillage. When the tide Of emil
grafton sets strongly toward the allu-
vial areas Of the lower Mississippi and
its tributaries the hardwood forests will
melt rapidly away before the attacks Of
the farmer. 1t is for this reason that
large holdings of southern oak and 9TH
er hardwoods are now being secured
In the South. After a few years oppor.
tunities for such investments on a large
scale will be gone forever.

Death of O YaSabond.

Together they limped into the little
shelter for animals in East One Hun
dred and Second street 1t was a Ques-
ton which was the more ragged and
d.sreputable, the dog or the tramp. In
one respect the tramp had the best OF
1t. He limped with only two legs, and
his companion was lame in three.
They stood there In the little office
ode by side, both looking at the man
who sat behind the desk, making en-
tries In a book.

ously the tramp lowered his voice, II

the smoothest road yer got"
The superintendent examined the dog
gently, and then told the wanderer that
there was no hope. The weary little
waif had outlived his usefulness and
was better dead.
Without O word the tramp handed
the frayed rope to the superintendent
and when the official led the poor dog
into the room from which no canine
traveller ever returns, he followed.
"Good-by, pard," he said, reaching
out his hand. His friend solemnly
raised his one sound paw, and they
shook hands silently and reverently,
as old friends do who are about to part
for long time.
Then the tramp walked alone out into
the street-New York Press.

Railroads in Wartime.

Colder Than the North Pole.

Walter Wellman, who has been to the
arctic regions himself, says that Mel
ville's theory of an eternal ocean ice cap
is as indefensible as the old notion of
an open polar sea. At the pole the mean
annual temperature is reckoned at de-
grees f. above zero. In summer it is
doubtless often so warm there that the
lucky explorer who reaches it's neigh
borhood will pull at his sledge with
bare hands and without any coat to in
cumber him. During three months Of
summer the mercury would not fall be-
low 10 degrees above zero. He might
pass a whole winter there without see
ing the mercury drop any lower than it
occasionally falls in Manitoba and north
ern Minnesota. But he would find a
steadier cold. For three months, proba-
bly,, he would have no higher tempera-
ture than 20 degrees below.
Arctic climate, like many other
things in that region, is little under

it is always cold when the wind blows,

THE DOLL THAT GREW.

Two children sat in window low,
Where graceful vines ever loved to creep,
A cradle swinging, now fast now slow,
Rocking doll to sleep.
His chubby face and his ringlets brown,
Her laughing eyes and her dimples fair
A sunbeam lost in the vines, looked down
Glinting her yellow hair.
I said, "Goodby, happy Ones goodby;
Fer I come hack, little girl and boy,
Your laugh will fade to a common sigh,
Mocking this childish joy"
Their eyes looked grave, for a moments
thought,
But could not take in the meaning cold.
She shook her head till his brown crown
caught
Showers of curling gold.
"When you come back, me will be so TALL"
He said "and proud. - eyes, me will, " said
she.
''The doll will grow, and the cradle-all,
Lovely as they can be-"
And far away in the world of tide,
In dreams and fancies that picture fair
The girls sweet faith and the boys glad
pride
Followed me everywhere.
All, could it stay could it always bel
But each joy falls with a broken wing;
Then night comes on, and it cannot see,
Moaning, it cannot sing.
With years of winter upon my head,
With years of summer upon my face,
I came, by haunting desire led,
Back to the self same place.
The same sun struggled and wandered through
And glinted ringlets of brown and gold;
The doll had grown, and the cradle, too,
Lovelier than of Old
The two still sat in the window low,
Their hearts so full of love so deep
A cradle swinging so soft and slow,
Rocking their child to sleep.

attempting to adjust it, discovered that
it was intended to go on below the knee.

then rang the bell and called "Sam !"
