Those Trees in Front Of the Eimwood.

Landlord Judkins has determined
upon cutting down the eight huge elm
trees that stand in front of the Elm
wood hotel. This does not sound very
ominous to those who are unac-
quainted with the natural beauty Of
this city. but to those who have for
years looked upon the green mantle Of
the city. it comes with the suddenness
of shock. All who have ever stopped
at the Elmwood. will remember the
stately elms that grace the heater in
front of the hotel There are those in
this city who have all their days on
earth walked in the cooling shade Of
the tall waving elms and have admired
them. But Mr.. Judkins thinks that
the trees are serious set back to the
prominence of the hotel; they obscure
the view of the street from the house
