STORY ABOUT TIE WILLOW.
Hardest Tree Known. and the Easiest

Hardest Tree Known. and the Easiest
If you ask me to mention a tree
most likely to live when planted by I'm.
skilled hands, says writer in the
Chautauquan Magazine, | would say
willow. | mean the most common kind
to be found in the northern states
the kind that stands beside and over
shadows the roadside watering trough.
If you have driven or wheeled over
country roads a picture of such CON-
bination will readily come to your
mind. The chances are that there is
a local tradition connected with the
origin of that tree. | have heard it in
many different localities. with but
slight variation.
The story usually runs something
like this: John Dee, one of the early
settlers, was riding horseback along
this road, then but a bride path. and
stopped at this spring to water his
horse. He stuck his riding whip into
the mud, it took root like a cutting.
and the present patriarchal willow
has been the outcome" The impress
sion is common that willows will
thrive only in wet places.
Ii is true a willow is very comfort
able in places where many other trees
will suffer from chilblains, yet 1t will
give good results elsewhere.

ITALIAN CRADLE SONGS.

Babies in Sunny Italy Break Into a
Cantilena.
1t has been touchingly said that era
dies resemble nests in every cline,
from the hanging cradles of wicker
work and sacks of savage lands to
those of our own country. Kalmucks
line theirs with felt. Indians with
mass, Virginlans with soft cotton, just
as birds line theirs with down; the
princess lays her babe in an ivory gilt
cradle, richly chased and inlaid, shaded
by curtains of priceless lace; the con-
tadina in a wicker basket padded with
homespun; but the love which pre-
pares these frail nests is the same,
says the Gentleman's Magazine. Among
the italian peasants the cradle is gen.
orally low, Nf wool or wicker, with
rough rockers, tied to the bedpost or to
the back nf chair; the mother rocks
it by the cord which secures ii. What
is more touching or sweeter than the
picture of mother singing to hush her
babe 10 sleep? In Calabria she holds
the child in her arms, rocking herself
backward and forward on a low chair
with a quick, even movement. The
slow, soft song and regular motion
generally succeed in soothing and put
ting to sleep even those children who
are not sleepy. So accustomed to this
do Italian children become that they
cannot sleep unless they are rocked
and sung to. and they Themselves when
only a few months old will break into

think that young theological student
on the banks of Jordan was to blame
for not examining the ak before he
lifted it that day against a tree. He
could in a moment have found out
whether the helve and the head were
firmly fastened. The simple fact was
the ak was not in, good order or the
strongest stroke that sent the edge
into the hard sycamore would not
have left the implement headless. So
God has given every one of us an ak
with which to hew. Let us keep 1t in
good order. having been sharpened by
Bible study and strengthened by
prayer.
Your AK may be a pen or a type
or a yardstick or scales or a tongue
which in legislative hall or business
circles or Sabbath class or pulpit is to
speak for God and righteousness. but
the AK will not be worth much until
1t has been sharpened on the grind
stone Of affection.

PANAMA CANAL
COMPANY MEETS
The Attendance Was Smaller
Than Usual.
Try Associated Press

FARIS. December 30.-The annual meet
Ing Of the Panama Canal Company was
held here this afternoon. The attendance
vas smaller ran usual and the proceed
ings were more orderly than last year.
The time was mostly occupied with read
ing the report Of the directors of the COM
rany, III which was detailed the pending
negotiations with the United States look
ING to the sale of the canal. The facts
scl forth in this report are already known.
The sanguine hope was expressed that all
d difficulties would be overcome and the
sale completed at an early date.
The reading of the report was followed
by brief discussion. in the course Of
which two or three OF the stockholders
made the customary protests against the
sale and asked what would happen If the
negotiations with the United States fell
through. The president replied that in
this event the stockholders would be
again consulted. while. if the sale took
place, they would have 70 meet to vote
ratification. The directors report was ap-
proved. the outgoing officers of the COM
pany were reelected and the meeting then
adjourned.

reform wave was the Hon. Jacob A.
Cantor, president Of the borough OF Man

ton. made a great talk about what he
would do to place signs on the street

Office for one year and on Two or three
occasions the question of stGns has come
I'D in the Board of Aldermen. and the
matter has been refer ed 10 th4t eS-

are fewer signs on street corners than
hitherto. Not only have no new ones
been put In position. .ut cd ones have
been taken down. When the streets

is lighted chiefly by electricity the lamps
have been taken down from the posts.

Natural gas at % cents per 1000 feet, as

In any view OF the case, let us not delude
ourselves with the idea that any suit the

result In giving us a sufficient supply of
natural gas at present rates and method
