THE VALUE OF TREES.
Time Gone BY When War Upon Them
Was Necessary.

Time changes all things, and time
is changing the public and pri-
vate estimate of trees in this country.
When the pioneers came upon a vast
wilderness the trees were as much
opposed to their making comfortable
livelihoods as were the copper
skinned savages. They made war
upon the forest with more zeal than
judgment; they slaughtered and laid
waste. With such beginnings of the
people their constituted authorities
have been slow to make laws for pro-
lection of mere trees, though gradu-
ally the worth of the latter have
come to be understood by the many.
Old trees soon will be held, as they
should be, to be sacred, and young
trees as something to be encourag
ed, fostered and trained in the way
they should go. 1t is only a few
years since DR.. Marshall of Pennsly
vania, astonished the public by bring
ing suit against a telephone company
for hacking branches off some stately
trees because they interfered with
the stringing of proper insulation Of
it's wires. The courts sustained the
doctors contention that the ancient
trees are treasures. The telephone
company will not soon forget the fact,
for it was compelled to pay smartly
for the destruction it wrought.

heavily and on account of his light

He picked out the lightest saddle he

AS five o'clock approached the sa-
loon was deserted and the cowboys
collected in group around the two
horses clamoring for the race to be-
