In the early spring the tree fakir is
thriving upon the fad for foreign trees
and shrubs. About the time the snow
disappears in early spring the tree
fakir takes his grubbing hoe, his prun-
ing shears and ball of Irvine and goes
into the woods. There he grubs up tree
sprouts-sumach, oak, alianthus, hick-
DRY, beech, poplar, chestnut-or almost
anything else will serve his purpose.
These he trims and prunes and ties up
in bundles for removal to the place
where they are to be stored.
When the spring tidying up Of the
home garden commences the tree fakir

Something unusual is happening in
Alabama. The people unanimously
want Edmund Winston Pettus to con-
tinue TO serve them in the United
States Senate as long as he lives. Yet
they are preparing to hold an election
to decide upon his successor. The rea-
son is that when Senator Pettus' pres
ent term expires, in 1909, he will be
So years old, and the election Is to be
held because Alabamans fear he will
not live longer than that. But Grand
pa Pettus is indignant. He says he
is as spry as he was at go and that he
expects to live out the whole six years
of another term. He is candidate for
reelection on the platform: "a man
is as young as he feels"
Senator Pettus had reached the time
for chloroforming, according to the
so-called Osler doctrine, back in '63-
about the time he was performing
deeds of daring in defense of Vicks-
burg, fighting with the Confederate
army. It seems that the situation had
become desperate; volunteers were
called for a forlorn hope. A brigade
Of reckless Texans offered for the
service, and Pettus offered to lead

like this: Enjoys a game of cards
