A PLEA FOR TREE PLANTING
IN THE HIGHWAYS OF ILLINOIS.

lifetime for shade and for show. I
shall plant Carolina poplars becaus g
they grow quickly" This is. however.
the spirit against which the true ar
bOrculturist must fight. This is the
very reasoning which makes corn
growers instead of tree lovers of mul-
titudes of men.
The North American Indian planted
corn before the white men discover
ed the continent. They never planted
trees. We must get good way above
the Indian ideas if We arc to be even
moderately successful in the art here
in considered. What though small
trees do look wide apart at first. 1t
is by no means wise to try to make
Il close appearing row. Neither beauty
nor utility requires this. The conten-
tion i heard that trees along the road
prevent the mud from quickly dryin"
up after rains.
This. if true. only emphasizes what
the sense of tire beautiful 50 clearly
asserts. that the trees are too closely
set. Leave good space nd never fear
either mud or too much intercepted
sunshine. UpCn the artistic side the
open space i just as essential as is
that occupied with foliage. One hun
dred feet i near enough for trees
at the sides Of long country roads.
Along such roads running east and
west il may often be best to plant
only the south side. at least with large
growing kinds. For north and south
roads trees should be set on both
side~. but alternating with each other.
In this case especially consider the
open space a. well as trees.

partly closed and her lips moved in
audibly. AS she neared the altar rail
she raised her voice, repeating in
measured tones: II come with a mes
sage to you from Christ"
Awed by the apparition, the congre-
cation, numbering upward of 300, sat
speechless. None knew what to do and
the silence was like a pail and in
another moment as the girl stood help
less before them women wept and
prayed.
Assisted by other men and some of
the women whose nerves had been
calmed Prof. Foster persuaded the girl
to go home with him.
She was taken to her home by a fam
lily of the name Of Hyde. She ap-
peared to be rational upon all subjects
other than religion. Later she did not
recall going to the church, in which
she was an active worker.

LIFE WAS TOO. TAME.
HUSBAND DESERTED BECAUSE
> He WOULDN'T QUARREL.
Wife Finds Life Intolerable with Man
Who Gives Her Everything She
Asks For and Accepts Her
Views Without Question.

From Kansas City, Mo-, a CORE
spondent writes to the Chicago Trib-
une that because her. husband ac-
quiesced in everything she suggested
and would never argue with her, Mrs.
Jessie Bryning, Of Kansas City, Mo-,
left her home and refused to return.
She told a neighbor that there was not
enough excitement, and that she could
not endure the tame life which she had
to lead with her husband.
These facts came out in the trial of
the divorce suit which Howard Bryn-
ing, her husband, brought in Judge
Silver's court on the grounds of deser-
ton. Mr.. Bryning won his case, and
Mrs. Bryning will now be spared the
unpleasantness Of tame and unevent-
full married life. She is in Denver,
where she proposes to make her home
Mrs. Florence Hosford, a neighbor
OF the Brynings, testified at the trial
that Mrs. Bryning had often remarked
to her that Mr.. Bryning had no back
bone," and that he never seemed to
have any ideas of his own. "Whenever
l ask him for anything he always gets
it without question:" she said. land
there is no satisfaction in that kind of
an existence for me. 1t makes no diff
ference what kind of request make,
it is always granted. He will never
express an opinion contrary to mine,
and if, for any reason, happen to
take issue with him on any question
he will at once take my side of it and
the argument will have to end.
This may seem to you to be a poor
excuse for my not wanting to stay with
my husband said Mrs. Bryning to
Mrs. Hosford, "but the fact is that it
is intolerable to me, and l shall have
to have change. I like argument.
There is no enjoyment in getting
everything without a struggle.'
Mr.. Bryning says that he had not
thought that his wife objected to hav-
