it was very cold. He wouldn't give
them any wine, because their forefa-

THE DEPARTURE.

OFT when a train moves by we feel regret
To see the faces pass, although unknown;
While who may tell the hearts unuttered moan
Ger one dear face that, when we cen forget
The Others all, stays with US, vivid yet
By features, smiles and words, which, having
flown
About us like pet birds, their each sweet tone
And look are ever in our pathway met;
So when of two one leaves the House of Time,
The other, waiting, cannot help but grieve
For the lost friend, to whom in sorrows cline
Each memory in its loneliness must cleave,
While the sad soul tries through its requiem
rhyme
A few tear glistening strains of hope to weave.

Every Family in the south Should Plant

The pecan tree not only bears one of the most
delicious nuts, but it is one Of the most hardy
trees that grows in the South and makes as fine
a shade tree as the elm OF maple and no family
ought to be withOuta few trees. Itwould pay the
town authorities to do as the French authorities
do, plant nut bearing trees on the sidewalks and
get revenue therefrom A town that would
this year put out a thousand trees on the side
walks at comparatively small cost would, in ten
years. get an annual return of at least $500 90 and
each year there would be an increase until the in
come would reach from three to five thousand dol
lars annually Enough to more than pay all
taxes of an ordinary size town.
The trees do well planted in cotton and corn
fields, and farmers can cultivate the lands in crops
of corn and cotton until the trees get to bearing,
and after they commence bearing farmer with

Application for Fire Alarm Box.

Walter C. Allen. the electrical engineer,
has forwarded to the District Commission
ers report upon the request Of the trus-
tees OF the American University Park for
the establishment OF a fire alarm box In
that subdivision. Mr.. Allen says:
THE only way in which the box can be
established during the coming fiscal year
is by placing the wires upon the existing
poles of the Electric Lighting Company.
This kind Of construction 1 do not con-
slider advisable, as there is danger Of the
two sets Of wires becoming crossed with
each other. Lack OF funds will prevent
this department from erecting a separate
line Of poles.
''If. however. the necessity for the box
is so great, I can have 1t connected by
placing these wires on the electric lighting
poles. taking care to use well-insulated
wires. and protected as far as possible
from danger Of contact with the high po-
tential wires OF the electric lighting COM
pany. The box to be used will have to be
taken from those already assigned to other
locations in this section Of the District,
and would recommend that the one as
signed to Pierce Mill road and Wisconsin
avenue be the one taken. This box is the
nearest one to the new chemical engine
house. and can be spared better than any
Of the Others"
