THE TREE LOVER.

Who loves . tree he loves the Nfe that
springs In star and clod;
He loves the love that gilds the clouds and
green's the April sod;
He loves the Wide Benedcence. His soul
takes hold on God.
A tree Ii one Of natures words. Q word Of
peace to man,
A word that tells Of central strength from
whence ali things began.
A word to preach tranquility to all our
restless clan.
All. bare must be the shadeless ways. and
bleak the path must be,
OF him who, having open eyes. has never
learned to see,
And so has never learned to love the
beauty Of a tree.
It's well for man to mix with men, to
drive his stubborn quest
In harbcred cities where the ships come
from the east and west,
To fare forth where the tumult roars, and
scorn the name Of rest.
IT'S well the current of his life should to-
ward the deeps be whirled,
And feel the clash of alien waves alocg its
channel swirled,
And the conf1ux of the eddies of the mighty
flowing world.
But he Is wise who, mid what noise his
winding way may be,
Still keeps a heart that holds a nook Of
calm serenity,
And an fnviolate virgin soul that still can
love tree.
Who loves a tree he loves the life that
springs in star and clod,
he loves the love that gilds the clouds, and
green's the April sod;
He loves the Wide Benefcence His soul
takes hold on God

that the momentary hustle caused by
his departure had ceased, had leisure
to think of what had heard from De
Belin. and those who have read the pre-
ceding pages and have formed their
judgment as to what was my character
at that time, can well imagine that I
was mentally on the rack.
The trouble with d'Ayen was bad
enough; but united to that was Belin's
statement that she-she was prepared,
no matter what the circumstances were,
to give her hand to de Gomeron! Had
been in her place death would have been
preferable to me rather than this alter
native, and then 1 thought of the token
she had sent back to me-felt that was
being trifled with, and gave full rein to
my jealous and bitter temper.

Sergeant Buck Taylor. one Of the
famous Rough Riders, is a personal
friend of Governor Roosevelt, of New
York. He accompanied Governor Roose-
welt on his great stumping tour
through upper New York state. He
was promoted through gallautry in
the field during the late war.
The Sergeant has the following to
say of Pe-ru-na: II think there is no
better medicine ON earth than Pe-ru-na,
for catarrh. It has cured me. It
would take a volume to tell you all
the good it has done me. Pe-ru-na 10
the best catarrh cure on earth, and I
know. for 1 have tried nearly all of
them. Respectfully,

Winter weather causes catarrh. Ev-
erybody knows this But everybody
does not stop to think that winter
weather delays the cure of catarrh. It
takes longer to cure case of catarrh
in the winter generally, than in the
warm season. Spring is here. Now
is the time favora bic to the treatment
of old and especially stubborn cases

MEYER soLMsoN WRITES AN INTERESTING LETTER
 ABOUT PINE BEUFFIANs
MEETS THEM EVERYWHERE
They Never Forget the Hospi- tality for Which Their
 Home is Famous"

"A Pine B.udian if he happens from home is never. lost. writes Meyer Solmnson to the editor of the Graphic.
 In Memphis there are many Pine BIufians whom at any and all times greet you with outstretched hands. This purely demonstrates that at hone or away a Pine Bluffian never forgets the hospitality for which his home is famous.
 Among the many Pine Bluffians whom l had the pleasure Of seeing on this visit were MT Martin Moss, a former Pike Bluff boy, but who now makes Memphis his home. IL wlll be news to Pine Bluff people to learn that Mr. Irl Armstrong, an other Pine Bluff boy, is now en- joying a tour through Italy. Tpon bis return home he will study for the stage.
 It might be mentioned here that Mr. Tom Moss was turned down by the army officers at San Francisco owing to his inability to pass a proper examination. Mir. Moss was sent there from Fort Logan H. Roots, Little Rock. After his fail ure Mir. Moss joined a Texas eompa- ny. It passed through Pine Bluff recently enroute to New York to participate in the Dewey Parade.
 l also met Rev. G. Gordon Smeade on the streets of Memphis, one day last week. He was returning 10 Little Rock after beneficial soi9urn in Virginia.
 Among my other Pine Bluff friends whom | had the luck to see were. Edgar Brewster, Clarence Philpot, and Mr. and Mrs. s. H. Zoller.
 At Jonesboro are Mir. aud Mrs. Garland Byrd. Mrs. Byrd was form eriy Miss Bertie Robinson. Mr. | Lynn Brinkley, who IS Light clerk at the Cotton Belt Hotel, and Ben Robinson who is in the plumbing business here. Mrs. Will Mickle- wright daughter of Col. George G. Gage of Pine Bluff, also resides here.
 AJonesboro is model little city of 5000 inhabitants. It is possessed ot beautiful little theatre with a seating capacity of 800. Through the kindness of Manager Lee Trice I was shown through it and I can say that 1t favorably com mDares with the Grand of Memphis, but of course 1t is not so large. Fifty two good attractions have been booked for this season. Among them are Creston Clark and Walker White sides, two Pine Bluff favorites.
