About Trees.

About now, as any well-regulated
almanac would advise, begin to haul
down" from the trees those few stray
leaves that have been dangling there
all winter. They are not the innocent
things they look to be, as anyone with
common sense would infer, for no tree
product could fasten leaf so securely
within about two inches Of twig, that
it would wave there without fall
through all the wintry blasts. That
strong bond between the leaf and the
branch was woven by malevolent
insect who has deposited some thou
sands Of eggs in the leaf, rolled 1t up
and departed this life diabolically con-
tent in the assurance that when spring
comes and other things wake up those
eggs will liven up and make sad havoc
with all LEAKAGE in reach. While most
OF us sit and wonder what part, II
any. the legislature is going to take
in nipping this wicked business in the
egg, others are up and doing-up In
the trees. and is, and pulling down the
menacing things as material for
bonfire.
1t is a time, in the suburbs and In
the country, when every person may
cooperate to some extent in the ex-
tinction. One up-to-date school teach
err in a suburban city has offered prizes
to the boy who brings to school the
largest number of these mischievous
nests within a certain length of time.
There they are counted and consigned
to the furnace. and the prize-win-
ming boy stalks off with his prize, just
a quarter, to be exact. tucked in his
inside pocket. Probably other teacn-
ers have undertaken a similar aid TO
the warfare. though only this one
instance has yet been recorded. But
there is time for a good many more TO
enlist IL they will in the service. Also
there is time for any individual to en-
ter into a similar arrangement Win
the small boys in his neighborhood ana
help bring results that will shade MIN
from the sun through the hottest OF
next summers days.-Boston Tran

HINTS FOR WOMEN.
How to Secure Perfect Complexion
by Natural Means-An Easy Way to
eeautify the Skin and Obtain
Good Color.

1t is every woman's wish to be pos
sessed of clear and beautlfui sKin'
but how few are thus fortunate. A
pale and sallow complexion is far too
common and fresh, healthy color is
40 uncommon as to be the cause of IA
yorable remark when seen anywhere.
II "a a matter of fact that the condi-
ton of the skin is an index to the
health of the body. Therefore, to i'm
prove a bad complexion, the right way.
and the only sure way, is to go back to
the cause. In almost every case 1t
will be found that the blood is out of
order and needs building up. This
was the case with Miss Oracle B. King,
of No. So Russell street, Lewiston, Me.
MY color had left my face" she
says, and my health failed. | suf-
fered from nervousness, dizziness and
loss Of appetite: not enough to confine
me to the bed but troublesome enough
SO as to interfere with my work. Of
tentimes | experienced a faintness at
the stomach which made me feel mis-
cradle.
During the summer of 1900 friend
who had been troubled as | was and
who had been helped by these pills,
recommended them to me. l began to
take them at once and had not used up
a box before felt decided change for
the better in my condition. Now l do
not like to be without them"
The disease from which Miss King
suffered was anaemia. 1t is charac-
terized by a paid complexion, pale
lips, dull eyes, tongue and gums
bloodless: shortness of breath on
slight exertion--especially upon going
upstairs; palpitation of the heart, feel
ing of impending death; weakness, loss
of appetite and ambition; irregularity
and pain in the natural functions of
women.
The one remedy that has proved it
self a specific for anaemia is DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
These pills, taken in increasing doses,
will never fail to effect a cure if used
persistently for a reasonable length OF
time. They are sold in boxes (never
in bulk) at fifty cents a box or six
boxes for two dollars and fifty cents,
and may be had of all druggists or di-
rect by mail from DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Company. Schenectady, N. Y. Be
sure to get the genuine; substitutes
never cured anybody.

Alden proper, the city, is inland about
5 miles. Out here in the harbor and
adjoining the Notifications there is
quite a thriving town, which is known
as Steamer Point, to distinguish it
from the old town. 1t is all of it Alden
for all practical purposes, however.
Within one month have set foot up
on the four of the great continents
which go to the making up of this
earth we inhabit. After North Ameri-
ca come Europe at Gibraltar, in Spain
and at Malta, which l presume is put
down as belonging to Europe, though
it is an island in the Mediterranean;
then Africa, first in Morocco, after that
in Egypt, and now Asia. For Alden is
in Arabia, and Arabia is Asia.

There is more of it in quantity than
there is of Gibraltar; here. instead or

there are some old Notifications and
the British have built and are building

PRESIDENT A WITNESS.
Mrs. Motley Sues Estate Of Cornelius
Roosevelt for S25, 900.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from New York yesterday says: President
Theodore Roosevelt was one of the parties
cited to appear before Surrogate Thomas
today, when an application was made in
the name Of Mrs. G. Beverly Motley that
letters of administration be granted upon
the estate Of Cornelius Roosevelt. who died
suddenly in this city February Is last.
Mrs. Motley Is a young woman of rare
beauty. whose residence is given as 122
West 61st street. She knew Cornelius
Roosevelt for many years, having made
his acquaintance in Paris, and has pre-
scented a claim against his estate for S25,-
GEO. which she Is now seeking to collect.
He executed several wills, neither of which
has been FLED here as 1t is commended he
was resident Of France. His executors,
w. Emlen Roosevelt and John E. Roose-
welt, say he left little or no property here
to be administered upon. They deny that
the estate is indebted to Mrs. Motley.
Cornelius Roosevelts marriage in France
many years ago displeased his uncle. Cor
neliuS V. Roosevelt, who died in 1887, leav-
ing an estate of $500. 900, directing in his
will that under no circumstances should
this nephew share in his property. Cor
nelius left large number of cousins, in
GLIDING President Roosevelt and John K.
and w. Emlen Roosevelt.
Mrs. Motley says she has been informed
that Cornelius Roosevelt left debts amount
ing to about $4,000 and no assets. To Sc
cure her claim for $4,000 she says he
transferred his interest in the estate Of
his brother Frank. who died in 1895. and
under whose will Cornelius was bene-
fciary. and whatever interest he might
have in the estate Of his uncle, Cornelius
v. Roosevelt. Cornelius Roosevelt received
various amounts from the estate of his
brother down to August, 1900, when his
entire estate was distributed.
Mrs. Motley is woman of Independent

$50 Hallowed and So Gracious.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Please let me suggest that during Christ
mas week, after December %. the following
singularly attractive. and very beautiful
and appropriate lines from Shakespeare.
which are SO eloQuently descriptive of this
blessed Christmastide; words. indeed, which
to the cultivated. appreciative and sympa-
thetic mind and taste, have. 30 to speak,
all the delicacy, aroma, fragrance and bou-
quet of choice old wine, be printed in your
valuable paper; namely. the following
words which all should memorize and al
ways remember. viz:
Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
Wherein our Sayiors birth is celebrated,
The bird Of dawnins sineeth ali night long;
The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm.
So hallow'd and SO gracious is the time"
have known these lines from my youth.
and always recall them with the very
greatest pleasure at this very happy and
delightsome season Of the year. and in med
itation on them, from my youth. have in
variably noticed. that they are more or less
prophetically true, 80 hallow'd and so gra-
cious is the time!'
Yes. have noticed that during Christ
mas week. there have been and are still less
such as awful crimes. wars and rumors Of
wars. commissions Of nature, and many
other almost fnnumerable calamities, &C.,
&C.. than at other times during the year!
Almighty God did really reign peace over
the whole world, and upon every living
creature. during these few days of sweet.
gracious and most blessed Christmastide!
dare say terrible things may follow
right upon the heels of these precious days
OF Christmas time. which can be biblically
and theologically explained. but repeat.
and please mark well the words. that as
Shakespeare has prophetically written. SO
also during these few most rare and happy
days of Christmas eve and Christmas tide,
our dear heavenly Father. even Jehovah.
seems especially to overlook the sins of this
wicked world, and during this very short
time, as said above. reign upon us, and
upon the whole world peace, peace. peace
yea. blessed peace. And may He grant it to
us and the wide world this year, in greatest
abundance. If it be His will, for His
names sake. amen.

A NEW PREPARATION WHICH EVERY ONE

Almost everybody's digestion is disordered more

to take some one OF the many s0-called blood
purifiers, which in many cases are merely strong
cathartics. SUCH things are not needed. II the
organs are in u clogged condition. they need only
little help and they viii right themselves.
Cathartics irritate the sensitive Innings Of the
stomach and bowels and often do more harm than
good.
Purging Is not what is needed. The thing to
do is to put the food in condition to be readily
digested and assimilated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets do this perfectly. They partly digest what is
eaten aud give the stomach Just the help II needs
They stimulate the secretion and excfetion Of the
digestive fluids and relieve the congested condition
of the glands and membranes. They put the whole
digestive system in condition to do its work
When that Is done you need take no more tablets.
unless you eat what does not agree with you.
Then take one or two tablets-give them needed
help and you will have trouble.
