CHICAGo's GREAT TREE.
Largest in the Country Outside of the
California Monsters.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Cook county has tree almost within
the limits of Chicago that is trying in a
growth. 1t rears its majestic height in a
field on the farm of Charles Kotz, two
miles and half west of Crosse Point
1t is the biggest known tree in the United
States, the great sequoias of California
alone being excepted. Three feet from the
ground its girth is II feet. The diameter is
13 feet inches. The height is 1870 feet
Yet this marvel, which hundreds of years
ago may have been worshiped by a savage
race. has gone on year by year producing
It's foliage and in the order of nature cast
ing 1t off, all unnoticed by Chicago. About
its only admirer has been the owner
Charles kosz. He guards 1t as jealousy
as he does his own children.
Aside from The great height and girth of
the trunk is Il remarkable hollow or room
at its foot. This hollow is 90 feet in cir
cumference, SH feet in diameter and 20 feet
in height. A natural doorway . feet high
and feet wide at the broadest part. A
horse and It's rider can easily pass through
to the interior. Three horses can easily be
sheltered inside the mammoth trunk The
hollow is big enough to permit dining
table to be spread in its bounds, and there
is room enough to spare for chairs about
the table.
The height to the first limb is 10 feet A
man of average size must take "a PAGES 10

A competent authority on forestry has
estimated that the tree, which. by the way-
is of the cottonwood family, is no less than

The former editor. who had retired from

riences.
When 1 began my eventful career" he
said, with the air of truthful narrator,
I'VE had in the town where 1 owned and
conducted weekly journal of civilization,
etc, a merchant who was the most digni-
fled man on earth, and the proudest. His
name was Hollar-William Henry Harrison
Hollar-but he set his own name above all
others, and merely used the plain Hollar
on his signs, and in his ads, none of which
l had been able to get, owing to a difficulty
We had had in a business way before I be-
came a journalist. The name Hollar was,
of course, the biggest thing in the town,
and it stood up over his big store so that
it was visible for miles in the country by
day or night. for he had it lighted up,
though it was before the electric light sign
of today had come into use. And how
proud he was of that namel By George,

not be undersold. Hollar.' For finest cof-
fee, see Hollar,' and so on, till it broke NE

DOM CARLOS ESCAPE.
Peri1ous Adventure of the King i'm s
Bull Ring.

From Cassnlrs Magazine.
Before he became a benedict, Dom Car
los was passionately fond of the excitement
of the bull ring, which he would enter in
cognito, not as a spectator but to take an
active part In the dangerous game Now
in the Portuguese method of bulfighting
neither bulls nor horses are killed and to
prevent the possibility of a bull goring
horse which he may happen to corner his
horns are covered with padded guards. One
element of danger which is present in the
Spanish method is thus removed from the
Portuguese rings; though even without this
particular peril there are stin plenty of
short cuts to the other world left open TO the
daring. Now, Dom Carlos is nothing IL not
brave, so when one of the court beauties
rallied him on taking the poor animal at
a disadvantage, and thoughtlessly dared
him to face bull with sharp ngiIarded
horns, the king calamity replied that he
would do so at the next fight. and invited
the scoffer to witness his or the bulls
triumph from the royal box. Now, the reg
ulations OF the ring strictly enjoin that no
bull is to be fought in Portugal with
points Undated" but, in face of a royal
wish. regulations have a way of becoming
elastic. Orders were given, therefore, that
bull was to be admitted to the arena ia

natural weapons. offensive and defensive.
Dom Carlos took his stand before the
swinging doors and waited with the frilled
darts ready in his hand for the bull to
charge. There was a below and a scurry
and then tornado Of ouivering brown
limbs and glancing horns made for the
place where the present King of Portugal
was standing. But bull rarely charges
home at the first attempt. and this one
did as others do. 1t stopped. snorted an
grily and threw up the sand with its front
hoofs.
The king waved his arms, made a feint
TO lure il on, and then, as IL charged again.

very act of his spring slipped on a wet
place left by the watering hose-and fell
The whole audience rose with a stimuli
taneous cry of horror, for though Dom
Carlos, of course, fought incognito, every
one knew who the too bold banderillero
was. Another fighter waved his red capa
in the bulls face: the animals attention
rose. The bull saw the movement, and
taking no further notice of the enticingly
waved cape made once more for his first
adversary. 1t was run king, run bull to
the barriers and, fortunately for HIS coun-
try, the king won-by inches. As his mai
esty's heels cleared the timbers of the bar

'I fancy l did those twenty-five yards or
so in very good time" And then with n

ded, Il don't think I should stand much Of

"Reminiscences.

Where in oiden, golden weather,
You and l were oft together.

But in vain;
Though entertainments new endeavor

And the stars themselves. repining,
Ere We parted were declining,
Awed by your bright eyes outshining,

Desired Instruction.

Young Mrs Torkins walked into the
studio with a timid yet resolute air. But
when she sat down in response to the in
vitation of the lady who gives lessons her
assurance left her She collapsed and
famed herself with paper for several
meme ats.
Il came here in such hurry immediate
ly after l saw your advertisement she
said, that l am quite out of breath. And
| have had so much of late to bother me
that 1 get excited easily. l thought
would come right down and put the case
in your hands and get you to tell me what
to do. The girl 1 got from the intelligence
office six weeks ago was perfectly lovely
at first. She never broke anything nor took
anything that didn't belong to her, and
vas as polite and consderate as could be.
She let me come into the kitchen whenever
l wanted to, and If 1 expressed a desire to
have anything / was especially fond of for
dinner she was. sure to get 1t. She never
went out of an evening without giving me
at least two hours notice, and altogether
she was the best girl we ever had. But it
didn't last" she added, with a deep sigh.
"Indeed?" said the teacher, who was
looking at her visitor with natural sur
prise.
No. After the second week she began to
get like all the rest. And the fourth week
she was the worst We had ever expe-
r:enced. She got harsh and naughty. She
didn't like the way l was raising the baby
nor the tunes I played on the piano. L
couldn't do anything to suit her. So l told
Charley that we had better let her go else
where and try to be happier than We SEEM
ed able to make her. Charley told me to
discharge her. So I told her to go. She
just laughed. So Charley said he would at
tend to her case, and he went right out
into the Kitchen"
She hesitated, ard the teacher who had
become Interested. inquired:
What did Charley do?"
Charley didn't do anything The girl
ka
didn't get out of there she would thrash
him within an inch of his life. So that's
the whcle story, and we didn't know what
to do until we saw your advertisement to
teach China painting and firing. / don't
care about the China painting just at pres
ent, but If you will give me a few lessons
in friag l shall be eternaly grateful, and
Charley told me to say that money was no
object"
