MISS SHORES ENTERTAINs
Popular Young Lady Hostess at De-

Always one of the most pleasan.

resplendent in its decorations A
sweeter luncheon would hardly have
been possible.
Following the service of the lunch
con the guests passed an hour or two

THE PATIENT COTTONWOOD.
One of Largest in the West Recently
Cut Down-Thc Cottonwood's
Wonderful Endurance.

One of the largest cottonwoods in
the west was cut down not long ago
in Ray county, Missouri. 1t meas
ured Go feet from the ground to the
first knot, and made more than 3 200
feet of lumber, writes Philip East
man in The World Today. for July.
One of the largest and finest speci-
mems is in the capital ground at To-
peka. 1t was a seeding which start
ed in 1869, when the first wing of
the state house was being erected
1t was spared from the scythe and in
25 years attained a growth which
gave its top a spread of over 100
feet. This tree was a great favorite
with the late senators from Kansas,
John J ingalls, and Preston B.
Plumb, and 1t is as dear to the hearts
of the "Jayhawkers" as is the Wash
bridge, for the Twentieth Kansas vol
unteers not only assembled under this
tree, but, after making a record in
the Philippines the regiment and its
intrepid commander bade farewell
under its branches.
The cottonwood endures great eN-
tremes of temperature and when the
roots can reach good supply of
moisture it successfully withstands
severe droughts. 1t is a fastgrowing
tree and demands plenty of light.
On irrigated lands cottonwoods have
been known to attain a diameter of
IA inches in eight years.
The cottonwoods is extremely easy
to cultivate from seed, cuttings, lay
ers or gratis. The commonest way
of securing them is from the natural
nurseries which spring up along the
sandbars of the western rivers. These
nurseries are killed each year by the
inundation from the high water but
they are also renewed annually by
the seed floating on the water. A
thousand trees with roots intact can be
pulled out of the sandbars in the fall,
in an hour. These seedlings are of
ten planted close together in furrows
and in this manner several thousand
can be planted in a day by two men
using a team and plow.

Speaking to you, gentlemen of the
jury, l would say that you have here
perhaps a more dignified and import
ant duty to perform than you have
been led to realize. There are little
cases like this that on account of the
small amount involved appear half
ludicrous in their trivialty. but on
closer scrutiny reveal a vault filled
with CHASTITY horrors. We walk into
them as light of heart as the sanguine
warriors of the great Pompey march
ed upon the field of Pharsalia, or the
untamed steer bounds among the corn
designed and especially reared to fit
him for the butchers block.
We have it here, my learned pro-
fessor, torn from your work of pre-
pairing the future generations for a
higher citizenship; we have it here
my slliliul and impatient doctor, my
busy merchant. my prosperous farm
er. You need not chafe at the appar-
emily unimportant position in the
great scheme of government which
you temporarily fill with so much
honor to the place. Instead of hav-
ing called six of the foremost men of
this fruitful country, whose names
are known and honored throughout
the sun-kissed vastness OF this glo-
rious and imperishable sovereign
state, to sit in patient judgment in a
trining case involving ten dirty dol
lars. tainted by the touch of ayarice
you are here to ponder the poignant
details of an unstoried but revolving
tragedy, such as Shakespeare might
have mourned in immortal verse, or
a great painter have lain upon the un-
willing canvas to thrill the sympa-
thetic souls of coming times.
Am | eXtravagant in this feeble
presentation of an humble cause
Was Dante eNtravagant when he
painted the hideous things of the
world of darkness? Was Solomon eX-
travagant when he described the can
kering wage of sin? Was the great
Bryan eXtravagant when In tones
that carried from ocean to ocean he
denounced the corrupt dominion of
Unsuitable greed? Then, | am not,
but speak in the candid impulse of
sympathetic heart to bring to your
view. in humble and
unadorned language the horrors of
an unpublished crime.
So much by way of Introduction.
Why is this man here? He wants
ten dollars for the death of n pig.
A pet pig. A pig that loved him. A
pig that fed from his hand and knew
no greater thing than he,its guardian
and friend, created in the Master
