there will grow half a dozen or more

'Ajs it is the last growth OF wood
which produces or bears fruit, we do
not want the trees to put on new
growth Late in the fall to be killed by
early frOstS. But some Of the trees
which were pruned put on new growth
late in the season. The remedy for
them would be to prune them again
a little further than before.
"'On this question of root pruning
in the fall a marked instance is record
ed where an avenue of Japan cedar
had each alternate tree root-pruned in
August, which completely stopped
their growth for the season. The trees
not operated upon added from eighteen
inches to two feet to their growth af
ter the root pruned specimens had
ceased to lengthen. The result was
that the trees operated upon stood
through the winter unframed, while
those not root pruned we're frozen back
so severely that they never recovered,
but gradually died of the yellows.'
The subject of storing of food by the
tree for next years use, and the vio-
lation of natural laws by fall fertiliz-
ing and cultivation, will be treated in
a subsequent letter.

At The Home Farm

Everything possible is to be done at
the Home farm this year to make the
event of Christmastide pleasant and
enjoyable for the 2S5 inmates of the
institution.
The new superintendent and wife
propose to carry out this festive day
as deliberately as it is possible for any
home of the kind, and do whatever can
be done to make the lives of those who
through misfortune are confined with
in the walls of this institution, once
more bright. For some days past those
of the old men who We're able have
secured the woods surrounding the
Home farm for laurel and evergreen,
and very willingly they have worked at
this occupation to decorate the halls of
the building, in which the most of the
celebration will take place Eleven of
the latest hogs have been killed for
the Christmas dinner, and with fixings
of onions, potatoes, cranberry sauce
and other things which go to make up
a Christmas dinner, the inmates will
enjoy themselves to the fullest extent.
The program of the day is as follows:
Breakfast, of which the chief feature
will be oyster stew, at o'clock; mass
for the inmates. to be celebrated by a
priest of the Immaculate Conception
church, at o'clock; roast pork dinner
at o'clock; Christmas tree at O'Clock,
on which will be present for each
member of the house, and a box con-
tanning candy and an orange.
Then there will be recreation until
bed time, Immediately before which
the inmates will go to the refectory.
where C small luncheon of coffee and
frosted cake will be served

BROUGHT TO THE BAR.
G. PerCivaI Stewart, Alleged
SWindIer, Rounded Up

In the October jury-waived term of
the superior court, the case of Hes
ter P Hood VS.. the American Invest
ors' Co. was called and the defendant
defaulted. Last week the president
and principal man in the company was
arraigned before Judge Newburger of
the court of general sessions in New
York city, charged with grand larceny
and obtaining money under false pre-
fences. His name is G. Percival Stew
art, and he twas at the head of the
American Investors Co., which induced
Mrs. Hester Hood of Millbury to pay
in more than 500 to the concern in
hopes of obtaining a home, according
to the Plan of the company. She kept
paying in several dollars a month, I'M
til she thought there was no chance of
getting any satisfaction out of the
company and then she sought to can
eel the contract and get her money
back. They sent her bill for services
which exactly covered the amount she
paid III. w. A. Gile, her counsel
brought suit and got a judgment by
default against the American Invest
ors' Co.
The last thing this G. .Percfval Stew
art was in was the Financial Agency
Company. He is also connected with
the Mercantile Manufacturing Com
pany, which concern has an alleged
capital of 100000. Its business is to sell
territory to agents for the sale of au-
tomobies
Col. Gle says that he has little hope
of getting anything out of the judg-
ment, but he intends to write to one
of the agents of the American Invest
ors' Co., and see what can be done.

At The Insane Hospital

The usual Christmas festivities at the
Worcester insane hospital will be
omitted this year, or postponed, until
a later date, on account of the mild
epidemic of diphtheria in evidence in
the institution at present
1t is the custom to have a dance for
inmates of the institutions on Christ
mas eve, with refreshments and a gen
eral good time. 1t was planned this
year to have some sort of an entertain
ment on Christmas night as well, in
addition to the usual special Christmas
dinner but fear Of spreading the dis
ease in evidence at present urges the
necessity of postponing the entertain
ment at least.
There are about 1000 patients in the
institution at present, and a great ma
jority of the number will be remem-
bered by friends on Christmas day, al
though there will be no formal enter
tainment or distribution of presents.

o'clock last evening at the Main Street
Baptist church, at the Christmas ex-
ercises for the children Of the Sunday

and then Santa Claus, personated by
Fred L. Ward, came down an imita-
ton chimney into a big old fashioned
Fireplace, much to the delight of the
children. The presentation of gifts
followed, and pupils and teachers of
the Sunday school were well remem-
bered. The pastor, Rev. Leo Boone
Thomas, and Mrs. Thomas, received
from some of the church members sew
eral pieces of furniture. The committee
of arrangements was: Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred l.. Ward and Frank Ward.

WAITING UNTIL THE
HOLIDAYS ARE PAST
BoWIers of the City Will Begin
Match Games After the
Christmas Vacation

There was never a better bowling sea-
son than has been experienced on the
various alleys since the opening of the
season, but there was also never a sea-
son for many past in which there has
been such a lack of match bowling
Prospects are bright, however, for
much rivalry between various teams
in the city after the holiday season. A
slight cessation of interest among or
binary bowlers viii stir up the proprie-
tors of the severa, alleys to arranging
match games between the crack bowl
ers.
John j. Monsey, proprietor of the
Pearl street alleys, intends to start an
individual tournament within a few
days that ought to be one of the most
interesting ever rolled in this CITY. He
proposes to have 10 candiepin bowlers
settle the question of superiority by a
series of individual matches. His plan is
to have each man roll 20 strings with
every other man, which will make 80
games in all that each man will roll.
MR.. MONsEY WILL. PUT UP $45
which will be given for a single prize
or be used to purchase several prizes
according to the wishes of the bowlers
His plan also includes the posting of
S. by each OF the bowlers before thew
start in on the tournament The men
will then pay as they go during the
first half of the tournament and the SIS
which each posts will be payment for
the last half. The purpose of having this
money poste before they begin rolling
is to insure the finish of the tournament
The Casinos and team representing
Smiths Green street alleys will start
this week a series of five candlepin
matches, ea3n match to consist of five
strings. Two matches will be rolled on
each home alley and the fifth on a neu-
trail alley the choice to be made by the
turn of a coin.
Manager 7. Fl. Mccain of the Sher-
woods has bean waiting for the end of
the holiday season to start in arrang-
ing matches. He will heein this week
and expects to get matches with the
Worcesters, Winthrops and Infants.
The Sherwood team las not practiced
together to any extent OF late but will
begin Immediately t., get into trim for
the matches.
The Infant Winthrop candlepin
matches viii he resuned this week.
The third match was scheduled for Fri
day evening, but On account of the in
ability of several bOwlers to leave their
work in the stores. the match was post
poned No date has been agreed on, but
the Infants have Planned to visit the
Winthrop alleys this v eek.
Proprietor j. ]. O'Neil Of the Casino
alleys has gotten the alleys in fine shape
by thorough sandpapering. They are
now as smooth as glass and some of
the bowIers are Putting up pretty high
scores With the small pins.

AT Odd Fellows Home

At Odd Fellows Home there will be a
merry Christmas, which will begin with
a grand dinner on Christmas day and
ending with tree and Santa Claus on
Wednesday night. From far and near
gifts have been coming in from mem
bers of lodges, who out of the plenty of
their own homes send something to
brighten their brothers in the home.
The Christmas tree celebration has
been set for Wednesday night in order
that Odd Fellows can attend their own
family merry kings or go to church
entertainments and then come up to
the home later in the week. Those in
charge at the home say that responses
to their call have been liberal and gen
crous What is done there is in no sense
a charity. but rather as brothers giving

In the County Jai,

At the county Jail there is little to re-
mind the inmates of the season of good
cheer There will be nothing in the
way of entertainment not even the
Christmas dinner provided in most of
the institutions, although friends of the
prisoners have the privilege of bring
ing in whatever they may see fit in the
way of food.
At present there are about 800 pris-
oners in the institution, % of whom are
women. Christmas gifts are out of the
question and the extent of Christmas
celebration for the unfortunate beings
is a possible call from a friend, with
whatever may be donated in the way of
q dinner.

At Welcome Mission

At Welcome Mission there will be no
especial Christmas dinner. Many of it's
inmates probably are only too glad to
get any dinner at all, to be particular
about whether they have turkey or
roast beef. Many Of the class of men
who come for shelter to Welcome Mis-
sion have forgotten what Christmas is,
if they ever knew. And yet it seems al
most a pity that something of the
Christmas spirit and cheer cannot be
theirs, bringing to them at least some
slight sense Of the day and it's associa-
tons.

own families. With the spirit character
istic of the orCer of Odd Fellows, they
VIII make every effort to bring into the
shut-in lives at the home, some of the
Christmas spirit that is so manifest at
this season Of the year
While more elaborate dinners may be
served tomorrow, 1t is safe to say that
no better dinner Tor one with more of
the true spirit of the day will be found
anywhere than at the Odd Fellows
