At this junoture, Mr. Sanders was

And yet there were some people who
wondered how Nan could endure such
a foster-mether as Mrs. Absalom.
After awhile, when the great eontro-
versy began to warm up-the children

1.-The Shady Dale Scouts went into camp.
This was a great hour for the young
asters. No one. not even an officer, could
pass the sentinels without giving the
password.
All this. from the ehiidrens point of
view, was genuine war; but TO the mem
bers Of the company 1t was a veritable
picnic. The citizens of the town, es-
pecially the ladies', sent out wagon loads
of food every, day
Mr.. Goodlett, who was Mrs. Absalom s
husband, and who had served both in
the Mexican and Florida wars, went out
to the camp. looked It over with the eye
of an expert, and turned away with
groan.

1t was fine, and, cephas was of the same

MExIco's BIG TREE.
A Tropical Candidate for the Distinc-
ton of Being the Largest,

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
There stands a tree in the tropics
of Mexico the sight of which is worth
the 300-mile trip from the City of Mex
ico to the little Indian village of Tula
ON the road to Mia.
This giant of a prehistoric forest is
known as the big Tule tree, the name
being pronounced in two syllables and
as though it spelled Tu-lee. In past
years many trees have come to the
front as claimants to the distinction of
being the largest tree in the world,
and not infrequently one of these i'm
posters secures that honor.
Only short time ago new tree
was discovered in California of the
Mariposa variety, and it was heralded
as the biggest tree in the world, its
circumference being 100 feet. The big
Tule tree is as feet 2 inches to the
good of this new western wonder, and
the fact that its position has not hith-
erto been more firmly. established is
due to the few people who have seen
it. Not every one who goes to Mexico
goes to Militia, and If you do not go to
Militia or nearly there you cannot see
the big Tule. Accordingly, compare
lively few people have seen its glories.
There are many California trees
which would make more lumber than
the big Tule, for its trunk Is not high
and its abundant tropical foliage al
most reaches the ground. Despite this
fact, it takes two looks to see the
t p" and twenty-eight people standing
with outstretched arms and touching
finger tips can scarcely encircle the
trunk. The tree stands in the church
yard of Santa Maria del Tule, and
many scientists believe that it guarded
the beautiful tropical valley when a
prehistoric race was building what are
now the famous ruins of Militia. 1t is
the ancient of the ancients, and the
natives look upon the tree with ven
GRAFTON and love, believing that in
some way it is guardian of the peo-
pie. Humboldt, the great German
traveller, took great interest in the tree
and had~a wooden tablet placed upon
it. The bark of the tree has partially
overgrown the inscription on the tab
let. The tree is species of cypress
and is called thuehuetl by the natives.

been left by the federals In a broken

now utilizing them not only for farm
purposes, but for conveying stray trav-
elers to and from Malvern earning in
this way many dollar that would have
gone elsewhere.
Mr.. Goodlett drew rein when he saw
Mr.. Sanders and Francis Bethune., and
gave them as cordial a greeting as he
could for he was a very undemonstrative
and reticent man,
