his trees tell him TO go to Klondike or

Then let him cultivate thoroughly and
keep his trees in as vigorous a condition
as possible. This will give them powers
of resistance against the San Jose scale

There is really no cause for all this hull

bad pest TO be sure and should not be
encouraged, but care will prevent it's

HE DEACON AND
 THE OLD BASS VIOL

From the Youths Companion. New ideas about church music reached
 Wareham in 17s4. when the propriety of
 using bass viol in the services of wor- ship was considered by the church. Not
 withstanding some opposition, town-meet- ing decided in favor of it's use, and this decision, as may be seen in the Flown
 Records" and in Colonial Times on Buz-
 zard.s Bay" led to as spirited controver- sy as ever reigned in & modern church choir.
 After the instrument had been in use 3 few Sundays, Puritan prejudice against 1t was too strong and the question was re-
 considered at a speciel meeting and it was voted that fit is expedient that bass viol should not be used.'
 Nevertheless, the instrument held its place in the choar for two years, when by order
 of town-meeting 1t was put out of the
 meeting-house. It remained outside, mak-
 ing various attempts to get in, for siv years, when the church was induced to re, admit 1t for a limited time: but on a re- quest for an extension. farther indulgence was refused.
 The singers then went to the next town meeting, and obtained Leave for the Bass Vioi to be brought into ye Westinghouse to be Played On every other Sabbath be- tween meetings and Not to Pitch the Tunes on the Sabbaths that it don't Play" This decision was so offensive that many turned away from the meeting house when the ln- strument was to be heard therein. The most obstinate of these Puritans was Capt. Joshua Gibbs. From the outset, he would neither listen to 1t nor make a com promise with it. The thing is an abomina- tion," he said. Can't we sing in meeting without sich screeching and groaning2 My father and grandfather worshiped God in Wareham without a barsville-I wont abide itr'
 The church asked the town to stop it. and the fall town-meeting ordered It stop ped Then the singers and their allies stayed at home on Sundays. leaving noth ing for the town to do but to turn around again, which it did the following spring; but the singers were requested not to make
 use of the bass viol tnles they gave Caet
 Joshua Gibbs, or his family in case of his
 absence, previous notice.
 In 1926 a church meeting was called. and
 1t was proposed to submit the case of the
 members who had withdrawn themselves
 from public worship because of the use of the has viol, to ecclesiastical council. Joshua Gibbs, who had become a deacon of the church, refused to submit his griev-
 ance to a council and abruptly left the
 meeting.
 Two years later, when the church was
 taking possession of a new meeting-house,
 the bass viol appard on teh threshold, like
 a ghost from colonial times The contro-
 versy was renewed, but the church had be-
 come weary of it. A new generation had
 sprung up, the spirit which for B years
 had kept up the revolt was broken, ard the
 venerable Dea Gibbs went to his grave,
 leaving the towns bas viol triumphant in
 the meeting-house! 3a

The nearest he ever comes to martial appearance is when he lines up at quarters to answer "Herei" to his name. and there is just where he doesn't material ize at all. He comes barefooted, hat on fifty ways, trousers rolled up or down, and everything blowing wide. He scratches his head or stands on one foot in a ragged line, which grins at the spectators in cheerful heedlessness, and he looks very much grat- flied when it Is all over. His hope is for a bangup seafght, or two roaring days of shore liberty. when he can "tear up the peach" with all the force of his reckless muscularity.

She was a northern maiden, he
A pink of southern chtvalry,
And when they happily were wed
The people shook their heads and said
The olden prejudice of war
And sectional instinct would mar
The beauty of domestic life,
And cloud their days with ceaseless strife.
Their home was down in Dixie, where
The flowers bloom in beauty rare,
And knocking birds with merry song
Speed tunefully the days along.
No cloud OF discord ever shot
Athwar their life horizon, not
A link of loves bright, golden chain
Was furnished with domestic pain.
They often taIked about the days
When war set all the land ablaze,
And how the men of north and south
Fought bravely at the lannon's mouth.
And oft he told her that he knew
But admiration for the blue,
And she would sweetly smile and say
She loved the boys who wore the gray.
And thus their lives in harmony
Flowed on, calm as a summer sea,
And one day, filled with joy and fear,
She breathcd n secret in his ear.
He drew her to his manly breast,
And, with a kiss of rapture, blessed
The day when He who rules above
Had crowned him with such priceless love
He said he hoped the wee ones eyes
Would be as blue as summer skies,
While she in a protesting way
Expressed the hope they might be gray.
And thus with smiles and happy tears.
And joyous hopes and wifely fears
They quarrel lovingly, in bliss.
Their harshest weapon but "A kiss.
No wonder hat he danced in glee,
And gazed in heavenly eCstacy,
With many pride-illumined grins,
Upon n pair of bouncing twins.
