A DeceiVinP Boy.
From the Gettysburg Pa, Star.

From the Gettysburg Pa, Star.
About two weeks since, boy representing
himself to be Thomas Harry Gathers, of, or
from the vicinity of Westminster, Nd, came
to the home of Daniel Beard in Highland
township and requested to remain for time,
saying he would work for his beard. He said
he was 10 years old on the 23d ult., was about
5 feet or 4 inches tall, well built, and would
weigh about $50 pounds. He was dressed in
a brown suit and wore leggins, similar to those
worn in the Regular Army. He made him
self useful could wash, cook and do almost
all kinds of work about the house. He said
he had bad case of too much step-mother,
and on that account left home, and would not
return until he was of age, when he would
come into possession of a farm of 27Q acres
and $4,000 in cash. On the 18th ult., Mrs.
Beard went to Gettysburg to do some shop
ping, leaving the boy to care for the house
and look after the comfort of Mr. Beard, who
has been confined to the house for nearly a
year, as the result ofparalysis. Young Gath
ers, as he represented himself to be, took ad
vantage of her absence, and after possessing
himself of almost new clothes of Mr.. Beard,
some shirts, gloves, gold ring of Mrs. Beard,
some stockings and various small articles,
decamped and has not been heard of since.
The constables OF Gettysburg we're notified
but have not succeeded in finding him.

Here, says a writer in the New York
Press, is story characteristic of the late
Charles A. Dana: John r. Mclean, candi-
date for President, for the Senate, for Gov
ernor of Ohio and any old thing, owner
and editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer and
millionaire resident of Washington, one
time owner Of the New York Journal
which cost him 100000 in three or four
weeks, telegraphed to his New York cor
respondent lat that time Charles S. Scan
LAM instructions to get an interview with
Mr.. Dana on his attitude in politics. Mr..
Seaman put the question briefly and di-
rectly, and Mr.. Dana's reply was, Read
the editorials in the Sun" But Mr..
DANA" Seaman protested, 81 do read the
editorials in the Sun every day, and to save
my soul 1 can't tell anything about your
politics. Looking over the rim of his
sp6ctacles the great editor said Mr..
Seaman, d 1-you aren't right. 1 don't
believe 1 know where we stand"
Gen. Howard Carroll tells this one on
Dana: Il had met the old gentleman
many times, but we had never become in
timately acquainted One day I was rid
ing down town on the elevated train read
ing a copy of the old Truth. Mr. Dana
got on at his station and happened to drop
into a seat beside me. His eye fell on
liull anu me at INe same. time, ana lie
said: Howard. What are you reading?' l
showed him Truth and said. picking up a
copy Of. the Sun, which lay in my lap:
MT. Dana, when l am travelling in a
hurry and can't put my mind on what 1
read, | take up something like Truth to
pass the time; but when l can sit down
and digest good matter, 1 always read the
Sun 1t ickled him nightly and we
were afterward the best of friends.

We're fond of men who read their respect

editor of the Post, enter Third avenue

at the tail end of the last car, walk slowly
through to the engine counting the num-
Der of Posts in the Passengers hands. If

The Pines in the Park.

The working force of the Park and Tree
Commission is still engaged in cutting
down and making fire wood of the pines
in Forsyth Park. The trees are alleged to
be dead, though TO judge from the appear
ance of the wood of the felled trees they
might have remained good many years
longer to give an air of nobility to the
tree life of the park. In the discussion of
why the pines in the park are dying, one
! of the commissioners said the reason was
| that pines will not grow with
| other trees. Possibly it would be nearer
| correct to say that pines will not permit
other trees to grow with them. So far as
the Information goes, it has not been dem
onstrated that the Georgia pine will not
grow in company with other trees. The
case of the pines in Forsyth Park cannot
be taken as demonstrating a fact since IL
is well known that these pines have at
tanned to a good old age and a robust ma
turity. It is true, however. that in the
natural pine forests, the pines grow so
thickly that in many instances other spe-
cies of trees are virtually shut out. In
other instances. however, a few pines may
be found growing in all vigor in company
with oaks and other trees. This would in
dictate that the pine is exclusive when it
has the opportunity 10 capture the field,
but under other circumstances is not
averse t. associating with less noble spe-
Giles.
AS to the pines in the park the evidences
h
'old field" pines, and not the long lived
| long-leaf pines of the original forest. The
land upon which is now the site of For
syth Place or park, was once cleared land,
just as was all Of the area south of the
old lines of the city The forest trees which
originally covered this area were doubt
less cut away either by the Americans be-
fore the attack upon the city by the Brit
ish in IT'S, or by the latter previous to the
attack by the Americans and French in
| 1779. The pines in The park therefore, are
| of a growth of a later date than the Rev
dictionary war. That the trees grew there
while other parts of the area of the city
remained free from such growth, is due TO
| the fact that the land embraced in what
is now the park became in the early part
| of the present century,
federal military reservation, and
remained so until the latter
part of the forties, when the government
coded it to the city of Savannah. Being
under military government for so long
| time will account for the sparing of the
| park pines while other trees of the kind
in what is now the city area went into the
| wood Siles.
| The pine is noble tree. When young, it
| is also an ornamental tree. There are rea-
sons for believing that with attention
no more than is given to other trees-the
pine will thrive after transplanting. 1t
| is to be hoped that the Park and Tree
| Commission will make an effort to replace
the pines in the park, which it has had
| cut down. with other trees of the same
species The pines were notable fea-
ture of the park, and that feature should
be preserved if there is a possibility of do
| ing it.
