Tree PIantIna In the south.

When we see the vandalism in regard to
timber In this country all sensible people
viii understand that ''willful waste will
bring woeful want"
In earlier days, when insufficient land
for cultivation made IL necessary to clear
of the ground for immediate use. perhaps
II was pardonable 10 burn up log heaps
and destroy vast quantities of timber.
But there seems to be no need for any
such waste at this time where I am ac-
quainted with farming conditions.
Out on the western prairies the owners
i Of the soil make a point TO plant trees
rather than. cut them down.
Ten acres well set in young trees is con-
sidered more important than ten acres
set in anything else. for the trees grow
without further expense. night and day,
until they reach maturity or come into
use.
When I see fine giant oaks cut down it
brings into my mind a grief that is hard
to explain. II Is painful thought that a
century has been given to the making Of
something really beautiful, but which has
fallen into the grasp OF persons who not
only fail to appreciate its perfect growth
and development. but who have no regard
for it's ultimate value to his successors in
this mortal sphere.
After me. the deluge' seems to be the
motto Of such indifference and vandalism.
The time IS coming when timber for
building purposes will come very high. 1t
has increased 80 per cent in the last de-
cade and yet Georgia has had millions of
building timber-to sell and destroy.
The wise man who has idle. WORKOUT
fields viii certainly make business Of
setting out young trees-oak. china trees,
cottonwood-ahy sort that will grow fast
and do for domestic purposes.
He who keeps his pocket full Of acorns
and pops them into vacant spots will be
considered a public benefactor one of
these days. 1t IS said that long drouths
are caused largely by the want Of shade
and trees to attract moisture. Barren soil
is also less capable of holding moisture
because the floods sweep over them unre-
stricted and the freezes spew up the dirt
TO be washed away with every hard rain
that falls afterwards
The fertility of our virgin soil has been
attained by shading the ground with trees
and foliage. and the fallen leaves kept 1t
moist and mellow underneath.
When all the trees and all the leaves are
gone, then the soil goes with them, until
the clay is broken up and the moisture
has a place to deposit itself and fructify
the plants cultivated upon Il. All lands
not cultivated should religiously be plant
ed in trees or some growth which will
hold the soil and prevent it's being washed
downward and fioated out to the open sea-
There is some agitation about tree
planting every year. There should be
more agitation and much more of practical
work on this line. With united effort there
could be much interest excited in the
minds Of the young-the only place where
there is promise Of continuous effort and
general results.

The Truth of Fiction.

source of our favorite knowledge, our best
amusements and our finest Inspirations"
1 cannot agree with this writer. 1t is
hardly possible. to trace the complex rea-
sons which cause so many people to pre-
fer the reading Of fiction to that of any
other sort Of reading matter. I seriously
doubt, however, that people read novels
principally for the truth they may contain
rather than for their effects upon the
fancy and the amusement they afford for
hours of leisure.

To climb up all the ladders
That the other men have made.

And Papa he could stay at home
And play with all my toys.

DEATH OF HI JOLLY
The Original and 0nly>AIizona Camel
 Driver.

1 Hi Jolly is dead. lie died at Harris 1 burg four or five days ago. but news oi ] his departure did not reach the city about three weeks ago and was then m ordinary health. His name, though he had never been called by any other since his residence in this territory. was not iii Jolly but there was nothing else that sounded any more like his real name to the American of English ear. He accepted the name, and in the course of the generation he lived here he probably came to believe that it was the right one.
 The "Hi'' is said to be corruption of "HadH," which though in the case of a Moslem means one who has mace a pilgrimage to Mecca, and in the case of a Christian Armenian, one who has made pilgrimage to Jerusalem, is su- perfcially understood to mean DS American and English travellers one who has charge of any sort of a pii- grimagc. and hence a custodian O: camels.
 Hi Jolly was either a Greek or an Armenian. but it is doubtful if the pco- ole Of either of those nationalities wno live here and knew him know precisely tO what race he belonged.
 He came to the territory in 1871 Tn charge of the camels which were brought here with the notion that they would facilitate military operations here because they were used to the des- crt. There have been different storie~ regarding the introduction of the cam aIS int ha ha far one is that they were brought here on the recommendation of General Lew Wallace, who spent some years in the Holy Land, and having some knowledge of what was then called the Great American desert believed that the cam el would be a valuable adjunct to the army. Hi Jolly was an expert in the management of camels. and he was brought along. It was soon discovered that the camels were valueless for the purposes for which they were intended. Their feet were not used to the roug. malpai and other rocks in many parts of the desert. Their use was soon found to be impracticable and they were turned loose on the desert. and the occupation of Hi Jolly was at an enc The camels remained for years the ter TOT of freighters' teams and they were killed as fast as they could be found. It is doubtful now if single desce,.. dant of the original importation re- mains. though within the last five yea1~ prospectors have claimed to. have seen specimens on the desert in the Harqu. Halas.
 For several years Hi Jolly has been variously engaged in mining, prospect ing, freighting and whatever came ,u his hand in the part of the country in which he lived. He was a sober and industrious man but was never very communicative.
