Foreigners Who Own Land.

1t is only the Polak, the newest immigrant
to Long Island. that has no land. The
Italian, who came little earlier, may lease
from four to seven acres, paying from $3.50
to $3.50 per year, and having the right Of
fagot- gathering in the large farmers wood
lot. The rate Of his lease is high, but the
land is valuable and he is making money.
The German, who comes before the Ital-
Ian, usually owns the land he works from
ten to twenty'acres. His wife works by his
side. She may even run plow; but she
never Is employed on another mans farm.
AS time goes on and the family holdings in

and her daughters are brought up with all
the advantages that prosperity can offer.

today, in regions where to some extent pio-

TREE TRIMMING TIME
MORE CARE SHOULD BE EXER-
CIsFD IN THE WORK.
Protection is Also Needed to Prevent
Injury to Trees From
Horses.

'Tt Is tree-trmming time in Washington"
said member of local camera club to
Star man this morning, land the gangs Of
men who are at present going through the
city Topping off the limbs of our trees call
to mind point or two regarding their care
which should not pass unnoticed.
. 1.-The manner in which they trim our
beautiful shade trees may be correct from
the standpoint Of professional tree culture,
but to the average citizen, as he passes
along the streets, 1t would seem that In
many instances the men apply the pruning
knives upon their long poles with unneces-
sary severity. I have noticed this particu-
larly upon the younger trees, which seem
to have their limbs trimmed off much too
close.
Dead limbs and those which interfere
with the symmetrical growth of the tree
should, of course, be Topped Off Trees
which are too thick in their growth must
be trimmed out, but young trees, 1t seems
to me, should be permitted to attain some
size before being attacked too freely with
the knife
Some of the gangs Of men are careless,
in the manner in which they allow the
limbs to fall into the street. A few days
ago friend of mine, while riding along in
his buggy, was surprised to find big limb
come crashing down through the foliage Of
a tree which he unfortunately hap
pened to be at that moment driving under.
It fell directly upon his horse and vehicle,
caused the former to run away, throw him
out to the pavement, and before the horse
was caught he had badly frightened a lot
Of people, run into three other vehicles,
caused two other horses to run away and
produced chapter of accidents all around.
Trees Require Further Protection.
''Of course, 1t was an accident but 1t
seems to me that 1t was one which ought
to have been avoided. The trees must be
trimmed, but II the limbs are to fall with
such consequences as these some one
should accompany each gang Of men whose
duty it is to see that all approaching We
hicles are warned in time to allow the limbs

The Elizabethan Tradition.
From the Atlantic.

-
The great reason, in my humble and CON-
verted opinion. why poetic drama since the
seventeenth century has inevitably failed In
England Is that 1t has remained faithful to
the Elizabethan tradition. This has been
followed by every writer Of a play in verse.
1t haunts us. 1t Expresses us, it destroys us.
On the merits of the seventeenth century
drama 1t Is no longer needful to insist.
The silver trumpets Of Mr.. Swinburnes
praise are ever in our ears. He ceases not
from celebrating "the dawn enkindlsd
quire' Of starry playwrights. But. on the
other hand, why Is 1t forbidden to point out
how violent and excessive they are how
wearisome in their iterations, how con-
fused, wordy and incoherent2 These are
faults which the reader Of a dramatic poem
easily skips over and forgets, but these are
what ruin play upon the stage. These
volcanoes and verbosities. this lack of
thought for narrative evolution, this alb
sence OF consideration for the eye and ear
OF the audience, have come to be accepted
as essential characteristics Of poetic drama.
This Is the unshaken, Ehxabethan faith,
and 1t Is this that has wrecked play after
play on the English stage. II poetry In
the future Is to speak from the footlignIs
Is must avoid the Elizabethan tradition a.

1.-THE Star recently contained brief but
interesting article upon the manner in
which our shade trees are being ripped and
torn by the teeth Of horses, because Of q
lack of sufficient number Of wire screens
around their trunks.
Being lover Of nature I confess my
self surprised when 1 read that the de-
struction was as universal as reported, and
chat large proportion of the trees in the
business section of town were thus per-
mitted to go unprotected, while the alb
sence Of wire screens around the trunks
of trees in the residential sections all over
the city was such as to cause comment
IT took occasion to verify the statements
made and found them to be correct, at the
same time taking several photographs of
trees which were mutilated. I found that
there was scarcely square in the city

could not be discovered showing the marks

When the Days Work Ends.
BY o'clock in the afternoon, when mar
stops. This gives the women time for fagot
gathering. Some landowners pay their
help partly by giving the run of a wood
lot. BY 5 o'clock, through the country
lanes, the women are moving vil1ageward,
wheeling fagots in a barrow, carrying them
in up-turned aprons or bundled upon their
heads, just as their foremothers in Europe
have done for centuries.
At every turn one feels the foreign touch
in the women washing at the brooksldes,
in Sunday groups of holiday-seskers shoot
ing sparrows. It is because Italy is so new
a nation that It has few preserves and no
well-enforced game laws that the Long Is
land Italian. walking out from the village
with his wife, his children and his gun, fol-
lows ia caccia' over ground that shelters
no game bigger than field mice, thus COM
polling the farmer to plant his acres thick
with mo Hunting" signs.
Few Poles own land, and SO N midsum-
mer, when wedding grows slack and the
late picking crops are not ripe, troops OF
women move from farm to farm, begging
work. Every English-speaking farmer Is
to them a boss or ''bosso," while the
farmers sons and brothers are distinguiSh-
ed as ''Bosso jim" or "BoSso Pete" If
Bosso Pete needs no help, he finds 1t hard
to make the women understand; they know
no English. IT, on the other hand, he wants
them, there is less trouble.
Across Long Island sound, in Connecticut,
a busy time for women farm hands comes
with the corn harvest. Italian women are
engaged for the husking, and no one who
loaded with corn pushing and pulling 1t to
the barn, will doubt their capacity.

A General overhauling Needed.

'It will be at once apparent to any one
who will take the trouble to make care
full inspection of the trees in Washington,
and it need not be confined to any one dis
trict, that general overhauling of the
trees of the capital is needed.
II am satisfied that the public do not
fully realize how badly our trees are faring
for want of proper wire protection. While
do not know that any one may be charge
able with neglect, as / am sufficiently IA
miliar with the difficulty of securing ap-
preparations from Congress for the bare
necessaries Of municipal life, yet it is most
evident that some steps must be taken in
the direction outlined.
'In New York and other large cities they
have societies especially devoted to the
encouragement Of tree planting These So
cieties are regularly organized and offer
trees on the bare streets of the metropolis,
and are very proud If they secure a few
hundred trees planted in the course Of
year.
"Rut in Washington we have our thou
sands of trees with US. They are among
our choicest municipal treasures, and are
objects which we constantly hold up to
envious visitors as things OF use and beauty
not to be seen in other American cities in
such profusion. Having established our
reputation we must live up to it.
ct trust that The Star will take I'D the
matter and not permit it to die an innocu-
GUS death next winter when Congress gets
its pruning hooks upon our already too
limited appropriations. If Congress can be
induced to be as liberal with us as are the
men with their knives in looping Off the
limbs Of the trees we will have cause for
consolidation. Somebody must act as an
amicus curiae. It will take some money.
but not fortune, to accomplish the result
