THE GIRL AND HER MOTHER.
The Daughter Should Cooperate with
Her Mother in the Home-Making.

IF your dear mother could count on
your steady, sensible. helpful. practi-
cal interest in the ~home-making and
the management of the house, she
would be the happiest mother in the
world" writes Helen Watterson Moody
in the January Ladies' Home Journal.
She would be glad to give over a
little, or a great deal, Of her authority
to an earnest and systematic little
daughter. She has had the are of her
home on her mind for nearly twenty
five transforming. afternoon and

housekeeping. sewing, guests, every
thing. Think OF it, Do you wonder
that her first fine enthusiasm is a lit
tie dulled, and that it dosn't seem so
tremendous a matter to her If her sofa
cushions are old-fashioned, or her win
dow curtains are looped primly back
as they were twenty years ago, or her
waitress dosen't wear the very newest
kind of aprons?"

Nearly everybody in Laramie admits
that this is sharp weather. The ther,
mometer has been going down the past
three days. Yesterday was cold
enough to answer all ordinary pur.
poses, such as stocking the ice man
and unstocking the coal man, ana put
ting a premium on cheerful fires des.
But last night the atmosphere got right
down to business, and this morning
there was just one appropriate greet
ing when one bundled-up person met
another bundled-up person and both
agreed it was cold enough for them.
Thermometers were as much consulted
as doctors in epidemic time, and gave
as many various W The man
who owned the roldest thermometer
was almost the most important man in
town.
The thermometers at the university,
which are accepted as the final au-
thority, show the lowest points reach
ed in the night to have been q and 80
degrees below zero respectively, the
variation being due to their relative
positions six feet above the ground and
close to it.
Wires Are Down.
The railroad and the telegraph COM
panies have suffered a good deal of loss
and inconvenience from the sudden
freeze. The Western Union has no
line open between Laramie and Green
River, but is in tolerable condition east
ward. Through the night the dispatch
ers had a great deal of trouble on this
account and trains on the Sixth district
we're handled with difficulty. By con-
tinual patching and alternating one
wire was kept open and dispatchers
managed to do their work over this
without actually endangering the
schedule. This morning a special train

and repair the wires. The damage was
caused by the contraction and breaking
of the tightly strung wire.

Mr.. Mathison thinks the new com
pound engines are a success. They han
die a train perfectly, and with them
the time can be cut down a great deal
between this point and Rawllns.
The cutting of ice for the Union Pa,
cifc was not begun today, but will be
begun Wednesday morning. At Fort
Steele the work is in progress. There
has been some freezing weather in Ne
braska, but not enough of it to make
ice for cutting. AS usual, the supplying
of ice for almost the entire system will
fall upon Laramie and Fort Steele.

prizes for the best outdoor photographs

swamped the Philadelphia post-ofice,

Or. II. L. STEVENS HEARS
SOME EXCITING NEWS.

DR.. H. L. Stevens has received word
that four robbers attempted to rob the
bank Of P. T. Stevens, the doctors
brother, in Montford, Wis. They gain,
ed an entrance to the bank and were
about to dynamite the doors OF the
vault when a neighbor heard them and
gave the alarm Of fire. A crowd soon
gathered . the Ibbers ran, seized a
handcar and sta va away. They were
pursued by men on another handcar,
took refuge in a barn, and were cap
tured, one OF them being shot. A SINH
lar attempt was made in the town in
1895 with similar results. They got
nothing on either occasion.

will be some sadness Of %farewells, but
most of us will be so eager to see the
new century hat we shall not shed
many tears owe the misfortunes of the
old.
Since we come to think Of 1t, the
passing Of a century is quite a rare and
unusual occurrence. Few men now
living have seen the event. There is
one in Gilpin county, Colorado, who
saw the 10Th century born; and a few
days ago there died in Denver a man
at the age of 1O3 who came very near
to having the same strange experience.
Doubtless there are a few others scat
tered over the world who have been
equally distinguished.
A Novel Experience.
but LOT most OIL us tnlS is, OF course,
one of the most novel experiences Of
our lives, and the occasion is worthy,
therefore. Of a great deal Of sober
thought. At the same time there is
nothing to be particularly solemn
about. The 10Th century has been
a good century but the next will be bet
ter and greater. It will have been a
greater distinction to have lived in the
Goth than in the 18th century; and for
that reason II for no other there is rea-
son for Joy and good cheer, not to
speak particularly Of the usual batch
Of good resolutions that we shall all
make.
Many preparations have been made
in Laramie for the proper celebration
Of the passing Of the old year and the
old century. There will be a number
Of parties tonight, dance, and many
little gatherings Of greater or less sig
niflcance. But wherever they may be
all people will watch.

The Care of Purchased Trees.

When purchased trees are receive
from q nursery it often occurs that the
roots have been exposed so much that
the branches of the trees are shriveled
While this is not at ell as it should be,
it does not follow that the trees are not
worth planting. 1t would be of no use
to plant an evergreen under such condi-
tions, as when once shriveled it is better
thrown away than planted, as no care
will make it live. But deciduous tree
is not SO quickly killed. In most all
cases an entire covering up of it, root
and branch, in moist earth for few
days will bring back the branches to a
plump state, when proper planting may
be performed with every chance Of sue
cess, so 10 every case whether trees are
shriveled or not, it would benefit them
to be buried up while in moist ground
as described.
1t pays to give attention 70 the roots
of trees, preserving all Of them posi-
BILE, and cutting of with clean cut all
bruised or broken ones. When bruised
ends are left on it the whole of that root
is practically useless, as new 6bres come
from the ends of the roots, and where
bruised parts are no roots will come. -
AS the end of every perfect root will
send out iibres it will DO seen how i'm
portant it is to have good number Of
them. If thick root should have sev.
eral smaller ones radiating from it, do
not cut off the small ones save them
all and the quicker will the tree recover
from its transplanting. Those who fire.
qucntly dig up trees are familiar with
these facts and are careful to get full
supply of roots, if not all the tree has
When planting tree never lose sight
of the fact that the roots want the soil
rs close to them az it can possibly be
had. 80 in q measure TO accomplish
this many planters form basin in which
water is pouIe ed and stirred up until the
whole is thin mud, into which the roots
are dipped. This adheres to the roots,
and when the tree is planted and the soil
thrown over the roots the muddy roots
attract it and il becomes more closely
attached to them than would be the case
otherwise. This, together with pound
ing and tramping of the soil, compacts
the soil firmly, and it is hardly possible
to lose an ordinary tree when so treated.
Mulching newly set trees is Of great ad-
vantage to them. With fall set ones.
its chief use lie in keeping out the frost,
permitting the activity of the roots dur
ing the winter. In summer it keeps the
ground cool, moist, and Of an even tenn
perature, all of which is conducive to
the formation of roots. Plant early In
the Middle States it may DO done as
early as the close of September in the
fall. and in the spring just as soon as
the frost will permit it.
