TRANSPLANTlNG TREES.
The Rich Man No Longer Willing to
Wait Until They Grow.


Wait Until They Grow.
If a man has the money he doesn't
have to Wait for nature to grow a
grove on his land these days, says the
Buffalo Express. Not so many years
ago, If a man desired to have shade
trees decorate mis- lawn, he would have
to plant saplings and wait five or ten
years for them to grow. But he doesn't
have to wait more than a few days
now, If he has the price. It's price
that is high, though. Where he could
plant sapling for anywhere from 80
cents to So, he has to give up as much
as S15O for a single tree sometimes.
The $3.50 trees have a diameter Of
eighteen inches.
There are men and concerns now
that make a speciality Of planting
rrown-up trees. Buffalo was one Of
the first cities in the country to have
one of these institutions. One man
who is in that business there is max
Inc a lot of money now. Any day be-
tween March and June and between
October and December his peculiar
carts may be seen carrying gigantic
trees through the streets Of the city to
rich mems plots.
Recently four immense elms were
TRANSPORTED out of Delaware avenue,
destined to shade the lawn of a man
WHO is building splendid new home
One hundred md fifty dollars is what
he will have TO pay for each Of them.
But he has a guaranty that they will
be replaced if they die within three
years.
Elms, naples, lindens and sycamores
are the chief kinds which the grown
up-tree man handles. The biggest prob
lem the man is up against is getting
the trees. He obtains most of them
in the country surrounding Buffalo.
One would be surprised to learn of the
number Of these four kinds of shade
trees that may be found close to Buff
falo, but the grown-up-tree man can
not take any kind Of tree. He must
be very particular In his selection. The

THE OLD HOME.

An old lane, old gate, old house by a tree
A wild wood, wild brook-they will not let be;
In my boyhood knew them, and still they call
Down deep in my hearts hear them, my eyes
Through mss behold them beneath the old

hear them; and heartsck with longing is my soul,
TO walk there there beneath the bowl;
Around me- within me, the weary world made whole
To talk with the wild brook Of all the long
To whisper the woodward Of things to
When old companions before my woe.
To walk with the morning and watch It's unfold;
To browse with the noontide ued its Of gold:
lie with the nighttime the dreams of old
To tell to the old trees, and to each listening leaf
The longing the yeaIning, as in my boyhood brief,
The old hope, the old love- would my grief
The old lane the old gate the old house by the tree
The wild wood, the wild brook-hey will be,
In boyhood knew Them and still they call

There were three sailors of Bristol City
Who took a boat and went to sea,

And picked pork they loaded she.

There's little Bill, he's young and tender,
We're old and tough, so let's eat he"

So undo the button of your chemie."
When Bill received this information,
He used his pocket handkerchie.
"First let me say my catechisin,
Which my poor nanny taught to
me-"
make haste, make haste!" says guzzling
Jimmy,
While Jack pulled out his snickersnee.
So Billy went up to the main topgallant

And down he fell on his Bonded knee;
He scarce had come to the twelfth COM
