Will Model House in Plaster for the
Prospective Owner.

'If a man of wealth wants to build
house these days all he has to do is to go
to a prominent architect. tell him just what
he wants and how he wants 1t, and before
a spade is stuck in the ground the prospec-
tive house owner can see just exactly how
his ideas have been carried out by looking
at a perfect model Of the proposed struc-
ture." said F. B. Vincent, a New York
architect, to a Star man at the New VIII
lard. MANY a man Is absolutely disap-
pointed in his house when 1t has been COM
pleted from a set Of plans on paper that
have met his approval He did not know
how this or that would look and such
changes as he desires may be impossible on
account Of the construction. The conse-
quence is the man is never satisfied. In
order to obviate this architects who are
up to date have undertaken to model all
proposed houses in plaster when 1t is the
wish of the man who wants the building
erected. The entire exterior of the house
is nodded after the plans approved by the
applicant, and If the finished house Qn
plaster) does not suit him 1t can be en-
tirely remodeled until 1t does, and the cost
is not SO very great. OF course, the inte
rior can be changed at will"

The Fir and the Spruce,

From the Country Gentleman
The term fir is very loosely used Str,ct,v
speaking only those tree. should be called
mrs which belong to the genus Abies. but
IN common use many varieties of Picea
are also Included, and the word has been
stretched to cover conifers of other genera.
VI the fir proper. the best known In this
country is the Abies balsamea, the balsam,
tree very similar in form to the spruces,
wnich grows fifty to sixty feet in height,
with trunk twelve to eighteen inches in
diameter. Its home is eastern North Amer
lea, from Labrador to the mountains of
virginia, extending far west as Iowa.
The leaves are fat, shining green above.
stlvery beneath and very fragrant in dry
ing. Everyone who goes to the Adiron-
dacks, Tor instance. seeks these frs for
cushions, etc. and a bed Of balsam boughs
is quite luxury. When the writer was
last on Raquette lake in the summer Of
1901 these frs were becoming rather scarce
about the camp, and had to be sought with
sharp eyes. They grow in a cold damn
soil, and. according to Professor CHORD.
are valuable only underground or as
q nurse in fmperfectly drained situations
The Norway spruce, Picea excelsa Is a
nne tree and one of the best varieties Of
spruce to plant. 1t is propagated by Seeds
which ripen in the fall, and are usually
kept dry and cool during the winter and
sown in spring outdoors in prepared beds
or frames The young seedlings should be
shaded and watered in dry weather and
transplanted to nursery rows, when not
sown too thickly. The tree is a rapid
grower, and the seed is cheap and easily
obtained

The Blind Orator Of Oklahoma.

'Never heard of the Blind Orator Of
OklahomaT Well. he is one OF our most
noted citizens, as well as being the most
brilliant" said Stephen T. Woods Of the
western territory to Star man. He Is
Judge T., B. Gore. a member of the terri
torial legislature, and he has been blind
since his early boyhood. yet there is not a
more learned or more cultured man in that
section of the country Judge Gore has a
gift of oratory that is marvellous. and when
he is scheduled for a speech the legislative
hall is always crowded to the doors. He
knows Latin and Greek like his alphabet
and never lacks for classics for use in his
speeches Even at this early stage of the
game he is being mentioned as one Of the
first senators from Oklahoma when the
state is admitted to the Union"

President Gompers of the American FED
GRAFTON Of Labor today gave out sta'e-
ment in reply to the annual report or Pres-
ident Parry of the Manufacturers Asso-
citation, which was read before that body,
now in convention In New Orleans, and
which for the most part was devoted 10 the
discussion of the general labor movement
of the United States AS will be seen from
the statement, Mr. Gompers makes use of
vigorous language in his references to the
report and to Mr. Parry its author. The
statement follows:

turers' Association, has delivered his an
nual report to the Manufacturers Asso-
citation, at New Orleans. April IA 1t con-

lations between man and man.
Organized labor is here to stay-yes, 10
stay long after Mr.. Parrys name snail
have been forgotten. 1t has survived many
encounters with men of the Parry caliber.
Organized labor seeks no conflict such
as Mr.. Parry would promote nor will
1t run away from it. We desire Industrial
and social peace and are making Tor II,
Mr.. Parry and those who act with him to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
I'VE shall be enabled soon to discern to
what extent the manufacturers of the
United States are in accord with him. At
this writing we are confident that he repre-
sents but an infnitesimal part of the Amer
lean employers.
''Organized labor faces the future, conf
dent and self-reliant, and hurls back into
the teeth of Mr.. Parry his foul vituperaton
and abuse. Organized labor is constantly
striving for the attainment of better and
higher life. the fulfillment of it's mission for
the brotherhood Of man."

MOVING LARGE TREES.
The Transplanting Device Of a West.

why plant young trees to make up a

been found to work In a perfectly satisfac-
tory manner. When a tree is to be moved
the wagon is driven up to 1t and the lifting
device removed and fastened around the
tree. Then series of blades attached to
the lifting device is driven into the ground
all around the tree, about four feet from
the trunk, until they form a basket, hold
ing the roots and earth under the tree.
Then the dirt is removed from around the
basket and the tree is loose. BY derrick
system 1t is raised a foot of the ground
and then hauled away. where a new hole
has been prepared for it.I Once in it's new
grounds the wagon is shifted so that the
tree may be planted with the same bearing
as to points Of the compass 1t formerly oc-
cupied, and it is then packed down with
earth and left to recuperate, which 1t usual

Notes on Cuban Trade.

Interesting facts have reached the State
Department regarding European trade with
Cuba. The Cuban shoe market is controlled
by Spanish manufacturers. whose terms
are cash on shipment. English chemists
sell usually for cash, sometimes allowing
three or four months. Six to eight months
time is allowed by cotton firms, while Eng
land and Germany sell cotton goods on
four months time, with interest at per
cent. The furniture trade Is largely in the
hands of American merchants. Six to
twelve months time, without interest. is
allowed by Germany, France and England
on silver and plated ware.
