Best Fruit Trees, for Shade.

Thomas Meehan in Ladies' Home Journal
The denizens of towns find the pear one
of the most satisfactory fruit trees for
shade. 1t is deep roofing, and many other
things may be successfully grown right up
to their trunks. Insects trouble them lit
tie. They grow rather fast, but it is many
years before they get an EXCEPTIONALLY
large size. The apple makes a spreading
head, and there is soon shade under its
branches and besides, the beauty of its
blossoms in spring makes the tree appre-
ciated fully equal to mere ornamental
one. 1t is not a very serious robber of the
soil. The cherry makes desirable shade,
but birds make too free with the fruit. and
there is the temptation to break branches,
The sour or pie cherries are, however, not
relished by birds. European walnut trees
grow rather slowly. 1t is usually ten wears
before they produce nuts in any quantity,
but after this they are regarded as treas
ures with which their owners would NOT
willingly part. For utility and grateful
shade combined, few trees can rival them,

At celebration Of the Fourth of July
in Huntsville soon after he went there a
confederate general felt that General John
B. Calls had insuiteo him. Word reached
him that the confederate proposed to dc
him injury the first time they met. A few
DAYS later the general and a few Of his
friends called upon Calls at his office.
will let George =. Mathes tell the balance
of that story, as he told it in national
encampment paper over eight years ago
The confederate began by saying:
General Calls, you have insulted me,
sah.'
Il was not aware of doing So
"WeIl, you did sab, and l want an apol-
ogy or such satisfaction as gentleman
is entitled to, sab"
But, general, l assure you I did not
intend to insult you
Several of the fire-eater's friends at
tempted to interfere insisting that as no
insult had been intended, there was no
cause for further action. Waving them
aside the general said warmly: THE insult,
sab, was given. Do l understand you as
apologiZing ?"
How can I apologize for an offense that
l did not commit
Then, sab, you must fight"

The words We're not out of the fiery

over Calls. His tall form was drawn up
as if on parade, and the black eyes fairly

Then. turning to the group, who had
stood listening to this dialogue with con-
siderable amaZement, he said: General,

we will each put on a pair of cavalry
breeches, and be nailed to a plank placed
across two horses, and then, sir 1 will
