"GREEN GOODS" MAN.
Confidence Operator eetrays Himself An
swerlng DecoY Business Letters.

SWUNG DOSOJ OhS"OSS GONfSAS
Portland, Me-, Aug. 4.-The arrest OF
Ellwood Erm, the alleged green
goods man." in New York, is consid-
cred to be the result of a clever bit of
detective work that originated in this
city the latter part of June. At that
time John Kreistensson Of Cliff Island
received a green goods letter which he
at once gave to City Marshal Sylvester.
The marshal in turn gave it to United
States Deputy Marshal Burton H.
Smith, who decided the letter was worth
following up, as it was in the sender's
handwriting instead Of being typewrit-
ten as usually is the case.
The letter was then sent to Post Office
Inspector Anthony Comstoek, in New
York, who carried on a correspondence
in KreisstenSson's name, dating his let
tiers Portland. Through skillful replies
the necessary evidence to warrant the
mans arrest was obtained.

now to Plant Trees.


All trees should be healthy and sound
with plenty of roots. Protect the roots
most judiciously from the sun and wind
at all times. This can be done by using
a quilt or horse blanket. Make the ex-
cavation some deeper and wider than
the roots and fill the hole with fine, rich
soil four or six inches deep under the
roots. With a sharp knife, cut off or
trim up carefully every broken or bruis-
ed root and be careful to remove all
diseased parts. Be sure not to DESTROY
any OF the fibrous or small roots. Trim
and cut back the top sufficiently to make
a proper balance between it and the
roots. Spread out the roots in their ma
tural order. Sift good and fine soil in,
around and close to all the roots and
rootlets and firm in compact manner
with the foot. Pour on in a moderate
manner near three or four pals of water
not too cold and let it settle. This
will furnish moisture where needed and
also cause the soil to adhere to the roots,
very essential requisite. Then fill in
and firm, setting the tree nearer two
inches deeper than it stood originally.
The last three inches of top dirt should
be left loose in order to afford mulch
and thus retard evaporation. If the soil
is dry, pour on sufficient water, num-
Der of pailfuls upon the top, which should
ditch little towards the tree. Thus ap.
ply water by the pailful, when needed a,
intervals during the summer If very dfy.
Mulch with straw manure if deemed ne.
cessary.
Thus ambitious and worthy student
you have planted for present and future
generations. Now make manifest your
earnest fidelity by dedicating the sacred
charge-the beautiful child of nature-to
some good or patriotic, or some noble
and blessed cause, whereby there is
made manifest your noble devotion, on
the higher plane, as human benefactor.
