Care of Trees

Prof. Morrow of Oklahoma says:
Hundreds Of thousands of trees have
been planted in Oklahoma this spring;
many on Arbor day. Judging by the
past many of these will be neglected.
No tree can be expected to thrive if
planted in compact sod or where any
kind of plants is allowed to grow free
ly near it. Frequent cultivation, gen.
orally shallow, is great help. Mulch
ing with strawy manure has disad-
yantages, but is vastly better than al
lowing grass or weeds to grow or the
bare surface to become hard and COM
pact. Flowing or spading about small
trees in such way as to allow water
to run away from them is bad prac-
tice. At the experiment station the
soil near one row of maple trees has
been well cultivated; that near an
other row, on soil of same character,
has not been so treated. A good look
at the trees should convince any one
of the great gain from keeping the soil
free from weeds or grass.

The railroad expert believes that the
number of revenue tons hauled per
mile is the best indication of rail-
roads ability to handle traffic at the
lowest cost OF transportation. AS IS
well known, the receivers of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad have been
spending millions on improvements
and have not completed the work, the
lines west Of the Ohio river being IN
need of a general rehabilitation, which
they are to get this year. But the
revenue haul per mile in 1S97-9s was
increased to 3l4 tons and a special re-
port for the six months ending De.
cember 81, 1898. shows an average OF
331.9 tons, quite an appreciable ad-
vance. 1t is confidently expected that
still further Improvement will be
shown before long.

A NEW YEARS STORY.
BY s. B. McManus.

want to tell you this New Years
night, what happened jist a year ago
In Hank Harmon's blacksmith shop.
'Tain't much to tell, nor over much for
an outsider to harken to, but 1t means
mighty sight to me and the boys
an /, for one, jist like to think OF II
an talk 1t over and kind of hug and
embrace the words, expressln' 1t as II
were, and hold the sentences like a
bitter sweet morsel under my tongue
My strength don't In any wise lay In
relatin' things and incidents, and H.
will be a good precautlon, when | warn
you not to break in into me and ac-
cordingly interrupt me, for 1t will take
flne-haired and top sawyer work to
make my story look as II 1t had any
sense or meanin at all, except to me
and the boys as understand 1t COM
plete.
Jist q year ago tonight we met In
Hank Harmons blacksmith shop to
celebrate the day by gettln' 80 para
ly2ln drunk, that we could dlsremem-
ber the miserable homes we had
sneaked away frum and the heart
broken and down-lookin' wives and
children we had left in them. We hung
hoss blanket over the biggest cracks
in the sides after Hank had fastened
the door, and then we was In shapeful
condition to guzzle and pour down
our red-hot, thirsty throats, jist as
much Of Joe Howards red-hot, pl2en-
hot whisky as we could manage to get
with our tremblln' hands, to our weak,
waterln', disgraced mouths. After this,
we know what would most likely hap
pen, judgin' Of course by what had
happened before-we would fall over
amongst the clnders and hoss hoof
jealns and old wagon tires and drag
teeth and scrap iron, where we would
sleep like hogs-hogs as had lost their
self-respect-until the cold and the
uncomfortablenes would wake and
sober us enough to crawl home to our
wretched houses, which we would
make wretcheder and mlserabler by
our comm.
We talked Of this tonight, and we all
Hutchinson gazette., 1899-12-28

like a llvln', lovin' thing to Jim-had
moved into little old untldy frowsy
house with bowed in roof and anglin'
shutters, in part Of the town where
self-respectln folks didn't generally
try to get And Jim knew, and we all
knew that he and the rest Of us and q
lot more had built Joe's house in the
park, and that every nail In 1t II 1t
was counted a dozen times, wouldn't
count up as many ner a tenth as many
as the tears shed fer its putin up!
We callated that one Of us had hand
ed enough hard earned money over his
counter to pay for the grand stairway
every inch of which was the premium
work Of an artist and man as made
grand stairways for a llvin' and never
botched, and reckoned, jist maxim
rough, unfigurin' estimate, that had
traded enough with Joe one time and
another to as much, or may be more,
than pay for the plate glass windows,
not mentionin' the stained ones, that
looked like flower beds set into his
walls, with wreaths and roses and
young children and blue sky and grass
and things. And there was my wife
and youngsters at home--if such
place as we had finally got to could be
called a homo-wlth the windows filled
with old quilts and cushions and not
enough in the cupboard to eat to much
more than prevent them from goln' to
bed hungry. And this was New Years
night! 1t wasn't cheerful, CLOWN
outlook, no odds how perseverin' one
tried to be chirk gleeful over it.
Hank Harmon remarked as he took
his place at the table, with his back
agin the door to prevent anyone from
droppin in unexpected, that likewise,
maxim a rough, uneducated callation,
he he'd helped Joe Howard in the build
in Of his mansion, as the newspaper
called Joe's house-quite a consider
able even to the pinchin' Of his fam
lily for provisions and clothin'. Hank
callated he had done as much toward
the house, as the putin in of the
plumbing - pipin' - chandeliers, with
the furnace throwed in for fair meas
ure and good feelin And speakin' OF
the furnace, Hank happened to recol-
lcct that there wasn't stick Of wood
or a pound of coal in his house, and
Hutchinson gazette., 1899-12-28
set close to the edge of the table

set close TO the edge OF the table by'
me.
Jlst then. Jim Green began to cry.
And II wasn't drunk, maudlin'
swashy cry that makes one tired, BUT
a great, man, heart-breaAin'-he heart
full cry, not loud nor noisy, but low
and heavy with bitterness and REL
morse and the useless wlshin's that
you hadn't done some things, And
while jim cried we all looked away
and kinder above each others heads
and j sneaked my cup OF whisky from
the table and emptied 1t without maxi
In any splashln' in the pail where
Hank tempers his hoss shoes, After
spell, Jim got where he could speak,
and we was all willln' he should have
the floor, He said he didn't know how
many houses he had helped to build,
but expected he had done his share,
but he did know, with sad certainty
of one heart he had broken by his
wayward wicked ways. Jim didn't
say whose heart It was, but we all
knew II was his mothers. And she,
had died alone and neglected Jist
year ago. So many things happen just
a year ago! Then Jim begun again,
Che could talk like his father | sus-
pecD and said that while he knew no
had killed the one who loved him best
and the one that he loved best In the
world, killed her with cruel shame and
sorrow-with Gods help he was re-
solved to make her glad In heaven to-
night, that he would never torch an
other drop of liquor as long as no
lived.
There was stiffness for q time andA
the edges OF the old blanket lapped4
like big, ragged evil wings and the
uncorked jug sent out smell that put
one In mind OF venomous snakes and
close by danger, while the smutty,i
creacked lamp flared up and then all
most went out as II even that little
puny, crippled light was ashamed Of
Its company. Pretty soon, Jim Cam
eron pulled his legs out from under
the trembling table, and Strengthening,
himself up as best he could, bein' 30,
tall and standln' as he did right under
the caves Of Hanks shop-said, Boys,
| have notion that amounts to dead
certainty, that my wife and l will
move back to our old home before long
We are both homesick for the grass,
and geraniums and big trees in the
front yard, and the stone dog on the
door step, and the little room where
our babies died. l think we shall go
back pretty soon, because you see with
Gods help and God for witness and
Hank Harmon and my nelghbor, Will
liam Wren, for witnesses, now sol-'
emnly promise-with my dead chill
Hutchinson gazette., 1899-12-28

dren to hear, too-that I, like our
friend who has jist left us, will never
touch another drop Of intoxicating
liquor so long as / live" And he
picked up his hat and went away.
And me and Hank was left alone.
But Cameron hadn't much more than
shut the door, when Hank, as ownedi
the shop, kicked the box out from
under him and come nigh to upsettin'
the infirm old table and while he put
on his ragged overcoat, kind of care
less remarked-only anyone that
knowed Hank would have known that
he was in solemn, awful earnest-thati
it didn't look neighborly nor civil to-
leave company like this, but he
guessed-no, I'll be damned II i
guess blank wasn't swearin man,
never he said, know l must do ass
Jim Green and Jim Cameron han..
done, and with God to help me andS
God and you, William Wren, to be my
witnesses, |, Henry Harmon, will never
drink another drop Of intoxicating
liquor so long as live. And the rick
ETY. old door dragged back to its place
and he was gone, and alone.
There was but one decent, manly
thing left for me to do, and by this
time it was the only thing wanted
to do and standing up with only God
for witncss-and He was enough--I
promised as the other boys had prom
lsed, and then, with thread Of a..
prayer that would tangle itself with my
other thoughts, I took the jug and
smashed 1t upon the anvil.
While 1t come to us unexpected that
we should begin new and decent life
--iist like q message from God, almost,
1t was put upon us to help ourselves,
jist all that was possible. God stood;
clost by us, though, and was always I'M
reach when we most needed Him. IT,
was hard won victory, but we won II.
"In conclusion" as they say In story
books, it is only fair to mention that
Jim Cameron and his wife have pos,
session once more Of their stone dog,
and geraniums, and Jim Green lives,
with them, and there is another baby
in the house whose name is James g.,
Cameron. There are no blankets In.
the windows of my home today. and
Hank Harmon is as happy and pros
porous as a decent, hard-workln' Cod
fearin' man can we'll be, and in every,
one Of our homes there was New Year'&
dinners today, that makes my mouth
water to even think Of now.
