 He had vacation once. It was in the year 1902, and for a whole week did not come to the office. Mir. Os- borne thought the matter over care fully, and actually took three days. He worked year in .nd year out over the account books and the envelopes of securities and never seemed to feel the need of'rest.
 The only other time he was ab- sent from his post was when the mad man Norchoss threw bomb al Uncle Russell" Osborne was carried from the office with clothing torn in shreds and was thought to be badly wounded. X few days in a hospital soon put him tO rights. however.

general imprpSSiOn

A general impression prevails among members of congress that the railroads have accepted the rate bill and will, in good faith, try to carry out it's provisions. It is true the pub
 lie has been warned that the rail- way attorneys were preparing for a
 big fight in the courts to overthrow the law, but the general opinion is that unless the interstate commerce commission should adopt rates that would be ruinous the railroads will not attack the law. Representative Robert c. Davey. one of the most ef- ficient of the southern members. and who was the author of a rate bill ac. cepted by the democrats of the fifty eight congress. bill that was drawn on very largely in the preparation of the Hepburn bill, said day or two ago: T feel sure the railroads are sincere in their assertions that they propose if impracticable provisions have crept in because of the zeal congress to enact a drastic law, con- gross will to it that the rough places are made smooth. It takes a course of years to get into operation law that will meet the conditions that called it forth, and meet them ef- fectually. without producing confu- sion. The present law may be im- perfect in some respects, but it is long step in the right direction.

the daughter of John Alden and Pris- ella. was afterward married to Alex ander Standish, the son of Miles Standish.
 If Priscilla refused the old captain he took 1t philosophically. for the rec ord testifies that he afterward mar ried Barbara. who came in the shippe Ann. in 1923" Alexander Standish was her son. for Rose. who lay under the grain fields. had no children.
 It is certain that the two families were always friendly. for at a very early date they withdrew from Ply mouth. Mass. and built their homes in Duxbury. some nine miles distant. The Standishes and the Aldens were the first settlers of Duxbury. and their graves lie there today.
 The Alden house is still standing. as is also Alexander Standish's house. which he built for Sarah Alden in 1sss. Miles Siandish's home vas de- stroyed by fire and the son is said to have used some of the timbers from the ruins of his fathers house in the construction of his own.
 The date of the marriage of Sarah Alden to Alexander Standish Is not known. but since Miles Standish died in 1856. 1t Is doubtful if he lived to see the wedding of his son and the daughter of Priscilla

 It will never be known positively whether the doughty old Captain of Plymouth did really send his young friend John Alden to woo the fair Priscilla for him or not. but we do know that John Alden and Priscilla were married, and that Sarah Alden,

Ashes for Fruit Trees,

| have found out by experience
that wood ashes is the best fertilizer
that we can put around our fruit
trees. Ashes should be placed closer
to the trunks of the trees than other
fertilizers. The quantity of ashes to
be placed around a tree depends up
on the size of the tree and the
strength of the ashes. About a peck
of good strong ashes is enough for a
tree just set in the ground, but if
the ashes are leached, about again
as many may be used. Older trees
need more; about two bushels will do
for tree five years old. have found
that wood ashes make better fertil-
izer than barnyard manure. The ma
nure causes a more rapid growth, be-
ing more apt to winter kill, while the
growth produced by the ashes is more
sound and therefore can better endure
the winter than the other growth. Ap-
pie trees treated with ashes yield from
one-half to one-third more sound ap-
pies. The trees and vines benefited
by ashes are peach, pear, apple, cher
ry plum, grape, raspberry, blackberry
and strawberry. Wood ashes are
common and ready source of potash.
They improve the mechanical condi-
ton Of most soils. The lime they con-
tain tends to correct "sourness" and
to promote the important chemical
process of nitrifcation. Corncob ashes
are the best for potash, as they sup
ply from Is to 20 per cent of pure
potash. 1t has been estimated that
every one thousand pounds Of hard
wood ashes will give about sixty
pounds of potash, and when com
pared with that in cobs they are worth
much more In the shape of ashes

Little Boys Explanation Embarrassed
Generous Teacher.

At recess one morning little Nathan
Garowski withdrew to a corner and
wept, and the heart of his pretty
teacher was moved with compassion.
What's the matter, Nathan?' she
inquired gently. why don't you play
with the others?"
Nathan looked UP with dimmed
eyes. Dust and tears mingled on his
brown cheeks. He pointed mutely to
his skirt and then broke into roar:

Harmon with sympathy. They shall

Nathan, well in the foreground,
glanced at his garments and looked
at the strangers for appreciation.

fably. Where did you get them?"
Nathan drew himself up to his full
height, and outstretched his hand in
the direction of his beloved teacher.

Then Alice Harmon, with the blush

Dust Spraying.

Spraying by means of dust has been
discussed in these columns quite oft
en-. So far as Investigations have been
made in the past the liquid spray
would seem to be superior to the dust
spray. Some experiments have been
made in Delaware, however, that seem
to show that the dust spray can be
used proftably under some conditions.
1t was used there during the days
when heavy dews prevailed, and it
was estimated that the cost was about
half that of the liquid spray. Apple.
plum, peach, pear and cherry trees
were sprayed. The codling moth and
apple scab were successfully con-
trolled by this means. The only dust
spray that seems to be effective. how
ever, is pulverized copper sulphate and
hydrated lime, to which paris green
or some other poison has been added.

Planting Trees or Sod Land.

have to prepare his ground anyway be-

trees such crops as onions, peas,
beans, cabbages, potatoes and sweet
corn OF the low growing variety. Mel
ons and cucumbers also do very well
on new land. | also recommend sweet
potatoes. Field corn would choke the
trees more or less, and while they per-
haps would grow just as well with
field corn planted among them, the
next spring would show them badly
frozen back, because the wood will not
ripen as well when shaded by the
corn as when they are free to receive
the light and air. But as l do not

Suppose that he wishes to plant an
acre or two and that near the house.
He would do wise thing if he did
not break up the sod at all. Every
farmer has chickens and assume that
this farmer has. He could skim off the
sod for about four feet square Tor
round if he prefers) in the place
where he is to set each tree. He can
plant tree in each place so prepared
and afterwards allow the chickens to
run there.
If your correspondent will buy only
trees that are dug fresh from the field
next spring, | think the loss will be
small. But If he buys trees that have
been stored or heeled-in over winter,
his loss will be great. AS to whether
1t would be possible to perfectly pre-.
pare ground in so short a time, | will
say that it depends on other things,
including money and help, the latter
being the most important.-Henry
