a QUESTION OF FACT.
Two Gold Standard Papers uavo struck ON
tho Dronkers.

1WO GOlu bCnudNru Papers Have Struck
tho Breakers.
Our estcemcd contemporary, the
Chattanooga Times, is having 1t again
with the Washington Post, and this
time on particular phnse of the silver
question. says tho Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal. The Post Is not an advo-
cate but stout opponent of the free
coinage OF silver. II refuses, how
ever, to swallow all tho foolishness
and rot put forward by tho blatant
ignoramuses of the gold standard press
and declares that the silver movement
is continually strengthened by the ab-
surdities of the gold standard cham
pions. IL Is not TO be disputed that
the Inherent power Of good cause
may be increased by the weakness OF
its adversaries, and In this case the
cause of bimetallism certainly owes
many thanks TO the reckless ignorance
and arrogant emptiness of it's leading
opponents. When the average gold
standard orator hos acquired the nbil-
ity TO curl his nose like tho tail OF n
terrier dog and can call bimetailist
popuhte In jaclrnss tone of voice
he feels that he is fully equipped
for high debnte. He Is rondy then to
scoff all the teachinRs of oil the econo-
mistS, oil the aXioms of economic SCI
ence and all the facts of history clean
off the face of the earth. This, OF
course, gives the advocates of bime tai
lism great advantage In the discus
sion In addition to the advantage thnt
belongs to them of right In the just
ness of their cause.
The particular matter in dispute be-
tween the Post and the Times con-
cerned the purchase power of silver
dollar in Mexico. The writer in the
Post asserted as matter of personal
experience that he could buy ms good
dinner or as good shirt in the City of
Mexico with Mexican dollar as he
could in New York or Washington city
with n gold dollar. He knew this
could be done because he had actually
done it over and over again. 1t is diff
cult TO dispute testimony like this un-
less one can impeach the veracity Of
the witness. The Times, however, un-
dertakes to impeach the correctness of
the Posts statements and draws from
the latter the following reply:
"The Chattanooga Times is always an
interesting study for the philosophers.
This time IL takes it up with n loud
ha, ha! the Posts assertion that the
Mexican silver dollar will purchase as
much in Mexico as the gold dollar will
purchase in the United States: And
now comes the Washington Post and
essays to prove that a silver dollar in
Mexico is worth as much IA gold dol
lar in the United States. To test the
value of the Posts information Oh h.D

back close to my side. was watching
that gun. a white puff of smoke, and
instantly the top of tree standing in
hollow about 100 yards in advance of the
gun toppled over.
The activity of the human mind is
phenomenal. In the next few seconds
lived an experience seldom given to
mortals. The gun, tree and myself
were in direct line. The shot, before
INSTRUCTED by the tree, had been sufli.
GENTLY elevated to go over, but what
row? Would the obstruction lower it's
elevation and plunge it into our line?
What is that l see? 1t is coming
straight at me! Like bee in its fight
l see it. What will it do-take off an
arm or a leg? VIII L go home to wife
and babies on crutches, or will they
bury me on yonder slope? There was
Il whirl of ifs and possibilities about
this life and the next rushing through
my brain. Why not turn over-dodge
it-jump up-anything to get out of
range of coming death? Was doomed
to be a witness of every detail of my
own death? The mind outran the speed
of the cannon ball thousand times,
but there was not time to telegraph
the danger to the dull muscles for ac-
ton.
In the midst of this mental confusion
there came a heavy spat, tremor Of
the ground, sprinllling of something
warm in my face, and jumped to my
feet unframed, to look down on the
mangled form and face struck with
death OF the young comrade at my
side, whose left side had been carried
away by six-pound shot. Observing
that his lips moved, 1 knelt down and
heard the faint words, twice repeated:
"Mother-water!" and the soul of Cor
poral Bird, a good soldier. a clean
hearted boy, with whom for nearly
year 1 had touched elbows in line and
on the march, took its fight.
We buried him near the fatal tree
that caused the accident, and a year
later furnished a detail to exhume his
body, that it might be laid beside his
kin at his northern home on the banks
of the beautiful Kankakee.
The death of this young soldier ever
has a weird interest for me. Why
should it strike him and leave me?
Did the fates decree it, or was it for
some wise purpose of Him who numbers
the hairs of our heads and notes the
fall of a sparrow?
l have seen the smile of incredulity
on the faces of friends while relating
this incident of seeing cannon-ball

ABOUT TREE PLANTING.
What to Do and What Not to Do Told In
Few Words.


What to Do and What Not to Do Told In
Few Words.
The wrong way to plant tree is to
dig a hole in bluegrass sod much small
er than the roots, shove them into the
hole, and when the latter proves too
small Jump on the roots with both feet
and jam them into it, turning the sod
bottom upward on the roots. This is
sometimes done by those who ought to
know better.
The right way is to enlarge the hole
so as to admit roots without bending,
and to a depth sufficient to plant the
tree one inch deeper than it stood in the
nursery. Then slightly fill with good
surface soil, making cone in the
center. upon which the tree will stand.
Bruised or broken roots cut back to
where sound, using a sharp knife and
being careful to slope from the under
side-so the cut surface will face down.
ward. Place the tree in the hole with
the side having the lowest and heaviest
branches toward the southwest, also
lean body of tree toward the two
o'clock sun. Lean the tree slightly;
the north side of a tree grows faster,
hence so many trees incline away from
the sun, with consequent injury to the
trunks from sun scald, f1athead borers,
etc.
Set the tree on the cone, spread the
roots evenly in all directions, pushing
the ends downwards. They then act
as braces to hold the tree firm. Don't
let roots be flattened out, nor, worst of
all, have their ends bent upward Never
bend roots; rather cut them back some
what if very long. Sift the fine dirt
over the roots and at the same time
gently move the tree up and down, that
the dirt may be worked in among the
roots. When they are covered to the
depth of two or three inches use ram
mer or step down into the hole and firm
the dirt with the feet from that time
until the hole is filled to within an inch
of the top,when the firmed earth should
be covered with two inches of fine loose
soil to prevent evaporation.
Plant when the soil will powder, not
paste. If very dry, water should be
poured into the hole after roots have
been covered three inches with fine
soil; then, after hole is nearly filed,
finish firming. Watering is seldom
necessary in spring setting, except in
late planting.
Puddle roots before planting, always.
A half barrel partly filed with water
with enough loan soil in it to make it
thick is good puddle; or dig hole in
the ground. Pudding should be done
Immediately before planting and not
allowed to become dry on the roots.
In spring, as soon as frost is out, go
over all fall-planted trees and tramp or
pound the earth solid, for frost will
have lOosened and drawn your trees,
and if left they may die.-Fruit Grow
