Trees Tint whistle.

The musical or whistllng tree is
found i'm the West Indian islands. in
Nubia ana the Sudan. 1t has n pecul-
lar shaped leaf ana pods with split
or open edge. The wind passing
through these sends out the sound
which gives the tree its peculiar name.
In Barbados there is valley filed
with these trees. and when the trade
winds blow across the islands n con-
slant moaning. deep toned whistle is
heard from il. which I'm the still hours
OF the night has n weird and unpleas-
ant effect. A species OF acacia which
grows very abundantly I'm the Sudan
is also called the whistling tree by the
natives. It's shoots are frequently by
the agency OF the larvae OF insects dis
torted I'm shape and swollen TO n glob-
ular bladder from one 10 two inches
I'm diameter After the insect has
merged from n circular hole I'm the side
OF this swelling. the opening, played
upon by the wind, becomes a musical
instrument equal in sound TO sweet
toned flute.

ILLUSTRATE YOUR BOOKS.
How Co Add 90 Interest aud Value of
Your Library.

- -~0e- ~ A@taChNNt anu OF
Your Library.
You are all aware that there are
coming from the presses all the time
excellent pictures relating TO every
thing under the sun and especially To
the scenes and characters OF well
known books. The suggestions we
would make is that you preserve such
OF these as may come In your way and
then use them to illustrate your own
books. 1t will be easy. for instance.
TO secure portraits OF the authors In
whom YOU delight. and Il often is not
at all hard TO find pictures of noted
places referred TO I'm the text OF the
book. DO not be In too great hurry
about FASTING in what you find. 1t is
wiser 10 keep an envelope-larga
enough to hold the pictures without
bending them-and collect whatever
comes rIghtfully to hand and is thought
fit for the purpose. After you have n
fair amount of material you can sort
out the best ana prepare II for tho
book. Some grownup people who give
great deal OF time, thought and mon
ey to this extra Illustrating" as II is
called. are very ilnical about the work
and have the pictures SO prepared as
to seem made for the volume. But
this would not be worth your trouble.
II Is 10 be hoped that you all have
something better worth your time and
effort. 1t will be best for you to mount
your pictures on thin paper cut to the
size of the book, and then fix these I'm
their places with just touch OF paste

When the reputed wealth of her

From the story told by the plaintiff
1t appears that in order to aggravata

when Mrs. Dewey would reach out TO

quickly slip the roll in his pocket.
Dewey appeared in court yesterday

IN JAIL ONE YEAR;
ESCAPES PENITENTIARY
Supreme Court ReVerses Decision in
Case of M. T. Ward and
Prisoner Is Free

After having remained in the county
jail for over year, pending his appeal
to the supreme court for a new trial,
M. T. Ward, who was sentenced TO
serve ten years in the penitentiary by
Judge Smith in November 1903, was
yesterday released from custody.
Ward was tried before Judge Smith
in the superior court November "a,
1903, and upon conviction was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary.
Attorney E. H. Wilson, who repre-
sented Ward, then appealed his clients
case to the supreme court, which a few
days ago reversed the judgment of the
lower court. Yesterday on motion of
the district attorney Judge Smith dis
missed the case
Ward was charged with having OBJ
tanned money under false pretences
from a man named John Watt.
1t was alleged by the prosecution in
the trial of the case that Ward repre-
scented himself to be the owner of
mine at Kingman, Ariz., which was
worth s1,OOOOOO
With this representation and with
others of a similar nature it was
that Ward succeeded in secur-
ing s100.
Others transactions were also as
cribed to the defendant and when the
jury found him guilty Judge Smith inn
posed a severe sentence on the alleged
man.
