Dodd, Mead & Company have just published E. Phillips Oppenheim's S The Traitors" which has already been noted as sort of "Prisoner of Zenda." The action moves in an imaginary prin- cipality under the nominal rule of Tur- key. IL is story of real interest and
 vigor,-an absorbing romantic tale of
 adventure. TEe main action centers around the clever plotting of Russian diplomat tic, the still cleverar 'counterplot-
 ting of an English iournalist, the for
 tunes of a soldier king, the jealousy of
 a high born woman and the love of an
 American girl. Intrigue and adven-
 ture flourish in this well told tale.
 Says the Brooklyn Times of it: Inter
 est. centers in the re-establishment of an exiled king, whose arrival at the op- perfume moment is made possible by the act and address of an English jour nalist. There are conspiracies within the Kingdom and intrigues without. To make matters even more perilous, l the kings foes are of his own house. hold. In his exile, the king has learned to care about beautiful American girl, Sara Van Vecht, who plays pictur- esque and winning part in the destiny
 of Theos and it's ruler. Her practical
 gift to the king is Maxim battery, and when the war is over her million aire father quietly steps in and foots l the bill for the war, which restores his
 prospective son-in-law to the throne. ! Action never lags, climax succeeds cli- | max, and the tale speeds briskly and persuasively on its way, holding the at- tention without weariness.
 The New York American says: "The | book is really absorbing in interest"
 Says the New York Commercial Ad- vertiser: we read The Traitors with real interest and enjoyment. It is good story we'll told"

Pruning Trees to Plant.

The first essential in pruning tree to
set out is to prune the root. Take tn @
tree in one hand, roots uppermost and
with sharp knife cut all bruised roots
and those not smoothly cut with the
digger, from the center of the root sys-
tenn outward on the under side, so that
when the tree is reversed into its natural
position the longest part of the root will
come on the upper side, covering the cut
so that water will not soak in and rot
the end of the root back to where the
bark goes all the way round, as it will do
if cut from the upper side. This gives
much better root system than does prun.
ing with shears, as the cut surface is
longer and more roots start. Then, again,
the knife does not bruise as shears do,
and no damage is done the root by bark
slipping.
Never prune the top of tree before
it is set. The most essential point in
getting a well formed top is having the
last or terminal bud point toward the
prevailing wind, thus starting the top in
a way to resist natural influences to
topple over from the wind and make an
ill-shaped and unbalanced head. This
cannot be done in pruning before setting
Then, again, you will get more uniform
height to your heads if pruning is done
after planting, aud the branches will
have tendency to start sap but should
not be left on long enough to draw from
the root
Peach trees should be pruned to whip
Dwarf pear cut back very severely. Plum
one-half of one year wood should be taken
off. Standard pear should be pruned to
shape and cut back any limbs unbal-
ancing the top. Apple should be pruned
back heavily to form good collars that
won't water soak; but cherry want only
what pruning is absolutely necessary to
hold the top in place, and never cut
back where it can be avoided. 1t will be
found a good plan to allow no sprouts
except limbs which are wanted to remain
growing on young trees. Get all the
growth where you want it and don't
waste your ground and time growing
brush.
Grape vines and all small plants it is
better to prune before planting, as it is
easier, quicker and in every way just as
good. Leave only two or three buds on
grape vines and allow only the best ones
to grow.

Questions and answers.

Dues. How many vines will be planted
around Paw Paw the present spring.
Ans. Taking the sales of the three
chief dealers of Paw Paw, ordered by
Paw Paw parties, the sales aggregate
$4,000 Concord and about 1900 other
varieties. Aside from this there are
about 10000 bought outside, making an
aggregate of nearly 100000 plants.
Cues. How wide should strawberry
rows be left?
Ans Six to eight inches is enough
for good crop, and we believe better
than a wider row, producing finer fruit
and making up the quarts by its size.

IRISH CONVENTION ADJoURNs
Proposes Some Amendments to the Land
Purchase Bill and Warns
John Bull.

Dublin. Aprii 17.-By a unanimous
vote the Irish national convention
which met here accepted in principle,
the Irish land bill introduced in the
house of commons by Wyndham, chief
secretary for ireland, and entrusted
10 John Redmond and his party the
task Of securing i'm the house of COM
mons that serious amendment in va
rious points Of vital Importance
which the national convention may
consider essential.
Dublin. April 1s.-The Irish convcn-
ton has adjourned. 1t unanimously
adopted a warning 10 the British gov
eminent that Ireland never would be
satisfied until home rule is a fact
Amendments 20 the land pur use bill
were agreed to asking for help for
those evicted. There were various 9th
er amendments referring to the detail
of the land bill and all recommended
by the committee were adopted.
Redmond uakes the important an
nouncement that the amendments
adopted by the convention will be ac-
cepted at the Joint conference at which
Lord Dunraven. Lord Mayo, Captain
Shawe-Taylor. John Redmond, William
O'Brien and +. w. Russell will meet.
This practically insures the passage
of the Irish land bill. One of the most
important amendments was that pro-
posed by Michael Davitt, that the prin-
ciple of the United States homestead
law be added to the land bill to safe
guard the peasants from the results of
improvident borrowing and the opera
ton of land grabbers and jobbers."

There are lots of people who scrupu-
lously avoid passing under a ladder,
never come to a field without imme-
diately looking for four-leaved clover
and who invariably look out for new

der. Having done all this religiously
they expect to be successful. If you

laws Of the universe are not going to

been evolving in strict accordance with

that the machinery of the universe is
going to slip cog because you con-

over your left shoulder, or because of
four-leaved clover. The world doesn't
work that way. OF far more import

making over yourself. Lop off some of
your conceit and selfishness, round out
some of your vacuums of ignorance.
Here are you and the world, face-to-
face. You are incapable of expert
encing worldly wants that the world
cannot supply. The world holds ev-
erything that you can need for success
and happiness. But the world won't

He began life with weak constitu-

General Bates, commanding the De-
partment Of the Lakes, declares that
the character and physical appearance
Of the recruits recently enlisted into
the United States army Is not up to
the standard of former years. The
number of undeveloped youths, he
adds, Is especially noticeable. Thus
there is an apparnt deterioration of the
rank and file Of the army. Probably,
however, the deterioration is more ap-
parent than real. Certainly, so far as
the uniformed youths" are concerned
the trouble will remedy itself. Under
military discipline the raw country
boy quickly develops into an athletic
man. There is no better physical regi-
men than the ''setting-up" exercises
used in the army. Moreover. it is not
going far to say that youths fought
and Won the Civil War. Armies are
made up Of men ranging in age from
1S to 25. War has small charm for
the mature man unless he happens to
be professional soldier. A glance at
collection Of wartime photographs
will show large majority of UNIFORM
ed youths" awkward, lanky, unprom-
Using in appearance to the layman. Yet
these were the men who composed the
greatest army that ever took the field
and who won the greatest war that
ever was fought. If the occasion should
again arise it will be the youths of the
republic that will make up her armies
In the meantime the regular establish
ment will sustain no injury by the en-
listment Of young Americans, formed
or uniformed.
