A little girl tried to stand still while
the nurse was getting her white arms
into pink sleeves. This was a diff
cult procedure-no one could under
stand how difficult, unless one were
a baby girl of three, and in hurry
to go out to walk. She was all pink
and white, this dainty little lady
white dress, rose ribbons, little pink
broadcloth coat, and a hat of silk null
with rosebuds. Her long stockings
were of dark, dull green, with tiny
boots to match. Her father said she
looked like a rose with two stems. Her
name was Rosamond as matter of
course. Everybody knew how her IA

A Tree That Owns Itself.

A giant oak tree which owns itself and
eight feet of ground en- all sides, is one of
the unique attractions at Athens, Ga.
This tree stands on bearing street. in
fashionable Cobbham, and is one of the
most magnificent oaks in all the South.
It is tall and symmetrical; it's great limbs
are shaped as if by the hands of an artist
and under it's shade several generations
have sheltered themselves from the heat
or have taken refuge in storm.
Nearly a century ago Col. w. H. Jack
son, son Of Gov. James Jackson and
father of Chief Justice Jackson of the
Georgia supreme court, went to the court
house III this city and placed a deed on
record, in which he said:
"For and in consideration of the deem
love and generation l have for the oak
tree (giving location) and a great desire
that the said tree be protected for all
time, l convey to said oak tree entire pos
session of itself, together with eight feet
Of ground OH all Sides"
Col. Jackson loved the tree. He had
watched it's growth from his childhood,
and when he saw it standing in it's mag
nificent proportions it panied him to think
that after his death it might fall into
the hands of those who would destroy it.
The land around the tree has been sold
several times, fashionable and costly
homes have beer built close to the tree.
but the wishes of Col. Jackson as ex-
pressed in the deed. have been sacredly
carried out.
This is, perhaps the only tree in the
world which holds a deed to ITSELF

TREATMENT OF RUGS.
How to Keep Them Clean and Yet Avoid
Wearing Them Out.

The manager of a Chicago carpet de-
partment, whose knowledge brings him an
annual income of $4,000, advises the
following treatment for valuable rugs:
Lay them wrong side up on the grass,
beat with a furniture beater, reverse
and sweep carefully, a soft brush being
the preference, or a good carpet sweeper.
A little airing outside Of the suns rays
is good occasionally, when they may be
lean housewife wears out her rug by
continual sweeping and beating. The
plan of putting them upon a line every
two or three weeks, or even once q
month, and there having them whipped,
is not to be commended if the rugs are
of any value. When a rug is to be thor.
oughly cleaned, it should be sent where
the work is properly done, or else washed
ut home.
A machine is now in use which loosens
the dust and removes it by means of a
strong current Of air. This is effective
and not hard on the rug. When the sur
face becomes soiled it can be washed
with no fear of injuring the coiors, since
the majority Of Oriental rugs are washed
repeatedly before reaching this country
and the dyes used are thereby mellowed
and enriched. The best method of wash
ing a large rug is to stretch and tack it
upon a clean floor. then scour it well
with soap suds. After the securing it
must be thoroughly rinsed, to remove all
trace of the animal matter in the soap,
after which it should not be removed
until it is perfectly dried. Then it will
not shrink and will lie perfectly fiat upon
upon the side Of the house or barn.

MODERN BANDITS LIKE THEIR
LITTLE JOKE.
Criminals Who Possess a Keen Sense Of
Humor-How Yankees Secured a
Valuable Advertisement.

Musolino, the modern Robin Hood Of
Italy who was recently captured, es-
capped capture during his dozen years
of OutlaWTy as much through his bold
ness as through his cunning. He was
psychologist enough to know, like Hot
spur, that safety is to be plucked out Of
danger, to grasp the nettle firmly, etc
The whole Italian army was out after
him. Once they tracked him to big
grave and surrounded it on all sides but
one. They planted some sharpshOOters
in ambush on that side so as to nail him
when he came out. But he climbed in
to one of the first trees be came to
and waited till the soldiers became con-
WINGED that in some mysterious way
they had lost him for the Tooth time.
The next day he wrote a note to the
officer who had been in command:
Sir, l cannot compliment you upon the
behavior of your soldiers. ! reviewed
them yesterday from a comfortable tree
in which / was seated, and not one of
them had the pOliteness to look up and
salute me, Yours truly

Horse Saraa a Child.

An exceptional instance of extraor-
dlnary development Of instinct in
horses came to light at Toledo, Ohio,
on a recent afternoon, and the animal
playing the leading part was Prince,
a twenty-year-old family horse owned
by William McDonough a grocer. The
four-year-old daughter of McDonough
wandered into the barn unobserved in
the afternoon, and was soon at play
on the floor Of a big box stall, the
freedom of which is allowed to Prince
and another younger and very spirited
animal.
During her play the child fell under
the younger horse and might have been
kicked TO death had not old Prince
come to the rescue. In the meantime
a search for the child had been started.
Mr.. McDonough went to the barn and
just as he entered he saw the old horse
softly grasp the child's clothing, and
lifting her from danger, deposit her on
the hay in the manger, where he care
fully guarded her Until Mr.. McDon-
ough took her away.

Permit Easier Intercourse.

Good roads better the social condition
of rural populations by permitting
easier intercourse one with another.
st. Paul Pioneer Press: The worst
difficulty about rural life is not the dis
tance that separates one habitation
from another-it is the fact that this
distance to be traversed is a barrier
during certain seasons of the year al
most as impossible as a mountain
range or a swollen torrent. Farmers,
as q rule, are well supplied with vehi.
cles and horses. They are not welded
to a life of solitude, but love cheer
and sociability even better than other
folks.
DR.. Schaeffer. ex-President Iowa
State University Good roads would
enliven social life in the country and
arrest the regrettable tendency OF
many people to push to the city. Make
the life bright on the farm, and you
will send fewer farmers and farmers
