ferently Is Massachusetts Roadside shade
tress SO frequently suffer at the careless
hands Of employees Of telegraph, telephone
and street-railway companies that new
officer was created there several years ago
called tree warden The selectmen Of a
certain town had granted rights Of way to
a streetrailway company and the com
pany's men had begun to cut down or
needlessly mutilate valuable shade-trees
Thereupon the tree warden summoned the
company's officers not the woTkmen in
to court The case was sharply contest
cd, but il was held that the seleotmen's
permit could not override the warden's
authority to protect trees, and the street.
railway company was fined one hundred
dollars The Office Of tree warden is not
provided for IN the laws Of all the states
but this incident suggests that it might be
established ID Vermont with great benefit

sThe question as to what constitutes
intoxieation, within the meaning Of the
law" says the Boston Transcript. which
agitated some Of the local courts few
years ago, has Just been passed upon By a
Judge Of the United States Circuit Courtin
Vermont The point arose in connection
with an insurance case in which the com
pany had refused to pay a policy on the
ground that the person insured, who had
stated IN his application that he had
never been intoxicated, had frequently
been seen ia that condition In an elab-
crate opinion, supported by citations from
medical authorities, the court distinguished
three degrees Of intoxication In the first
Of these the ideas are uncommonly viva
eious, but the individual perfectly rel
tains the consciousness Of his external con-
ditlon, and, ID fact, may be said to be in
complete possession Of his senses Ia the
second grade the man has still the use Of
his senses, though they are remarkably
enfeebIed, but he Is entirely beside him
self, memory and Judgment having aban-
doned him, III the last stage "a man not
only loses thepossession Of his reason, but
his senses are SO enfeebled that he is no
longer conscious Of his external relations.
on the basis Of this classification, the
Judge ruled that the man insured By the
company had never been intoxicated IN
the full sense Of the term, because, ac-
cording to the evidence, he had never ta-
ken the third degree. The decision is
well calculated to cheer the hearts Of
hardy topers.
