Once w!ie.. Chief Justice John Mar

that The tire ufl OIL, of sis wheels was
loose AID kept stirring off. He didn't
know IL sfeat tt,a. about common af-
fairs. for he III not lived niuch with
the common ;tiI frs of LIE. but he did
know that water would tighten a tire
on u wheel. So lie came 10 a little
branch and drove into itsand got one
little section Of tie ws:eel wet. then
drove out and baked his horse. and
the same part CT the wheel went into
the water again, and he pulled back
and kept seesawing backward and for
ward, ali the time getting the same
part of the wheel vet. While the judge
was b~othering himself about how to
get the wheel wet a negro came along
and, seeing the situation. told him to
back into the water again. He did so.
and the negro took hold of the spokes
of the wheel and, turning it around di-
rectly. had it wet all around. Judge
Marshall said. well, I never thought
Of that" The darby replied, well,
some men just nat'ly have more sense
than others anyhow"

Elephant Love.

A pathetic story Of intelligence and
affectionate solicitude Of an elephant
comes from the Midnapur district In
Bengal.
A wild tusker and a younger animal
had done great damage to crops, and
the head man of the district, Babn
Canaan Lal MALTA, attempted to kill
them. He shot the larger animal in the
leg, disabling it, but not sufficiently
for any one to approach it.
For n month the animals fingered in
the district, the smaller one ministering
to the wants of its wounded compan-
ion, and by furious charges kept the
villagers at a safe distance.
Twisting it's trunk about that of the
stricken brute, it uttered the most
mournfnl cries. famed the wound and
gave every evidence of acute distress.
When the wounded elephant died, its
companion disappeared and has not
been seen since.-London Express.

There was perhaps more satire than
gratitude in the reward bestowed by a
French lady on surgeon for bleeding
her-an operation i'll which the lancet
was so ciumsily usedSthat an artery
was severed and the poor woman bied
to death. When she recognized that
she was dying, she made a will in
which she left the operator a life an

he never again bled anybody as long

How free. Diner MS to Their Roots.

49,
How Trees Differ ms to Their Roots.
Trees whose roots are of the same
length and fiber do not thrive as well
as those which are unequal, because
they develop better when their roots
reach for nutriment in different strata
or depths Of the earth. The oak could
not live in soil where the pine would
thrive luxuriantly. This is owing to
the nature OF the trees. One requires
the most solid nutriment. The pine re-
quires light, sandy soil and the atmos-
pheric conditions of sunshine and rain.
The oak, maple. elm, hemlock, birch
and beech all require warm and clean
soil. Trees are noted for picking out
the attractive places. and where there.
are f1ourishing forests may be found
the best land and the soil always pro
ductive.
