 Stationery has its fads as well as clothes and woman is often judged by the writing paper she uses. Note paper of any positive color. such as green, purple. blue. yellow or the like are always bad form. Certain neutral tints are permissible. and gray Is the favorite ono just at present. Blue Is also popular. but white is seldom seen now, owing to another fad. although 1t is always good form The rough fin ish, rather than the smooth. Is the present fad. but the edges should hcver be rough. Highly scented note paper is considered very poor taste. A slight scent is permissible. but it is better to have none at all than too much. Cor responding cards have again come into vogue, where only @ few lines are hooded in note. The monogram should be on the left corner and the address written in right. White, gold and silver are the best colors for stamping. and blue Is the only shade considered really good.

Hi.torical Tree of America.

Historical Tree Of America.
 Frederic J. Haskin in Atlanta Journal.
 Ever since a fig tree set up as haber- dasher to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. trees have played "a more or less important part in the worlds his- tory. The first Protestant church ser vice was under the trees at Jamestown, and the first church bell rung in the west was the one that good Father Ju- nipero Serra tied to an arching oak bough at San Diego. The first agri- cultural fair in America was held un- der a giant elm at Pittsfield. Mass, the same tree under which the men of that section formed when they marched away to the war of 1912. When Con- necticuts charter was in great danger of seizure it was hidden by faithful cit izens in a hollow oak.
 Because the Scotch had "dool trees' or grief trees' on which they hung their enemies in reality or in effigy, early colonists here must needs have something of the sort. So they chose to set up Liberty trees In New Eng land. The Scotch had sycamores, the New England colonists chose elms. and they were made to serve many pur- poses. Under them meetings were held, from their boughs the bodies of offenders dangled, and in their shade drunkards, liars and thieves sat in the stocks to be jibed at by passersby. One tree on Boston Common had q most dark history. It stood near the Long path" that Dr. Holmes immortalized in his "Autocrat at the Breakfast Table" and on 1t were hanged Margaret Jones and Anne Hibbins, two witches of early days, and Mary Dyer. the Quakeress. Under 1t Mrs. Oliver was flogged for "reproaching magistrates" In 1876 this old tree fell In windstorm. and detachment of police had to be called to keep the souvenir collectors from cutting it to pieces. An off shoot of this tree. about forty years old, has been elected to take its place.
 The dean of America's historic trees is the Washington elm of Cambridge a 'Under this tree Washington first took command of the American army, July 8. 1775," reads the inscription compiled by Longfellow and engraved on a tab let Some say that the first evangelist in America, George Whitefield, preach ed under this same tree. Twice has the lightning struck it, both times in the same place. and no doubt its days are now numbered. though jealous towns people are guarding 1t carefully.
 One of the famous peace oaks" that ing house at Natick Is said to be still in existence. It was brought to the missionary by the Indians he had taught, and planted by them as an ex- presson of peace. At Dedham another oak is pointed out as the pulpit once used by George Fox, the Quaker, when a meeting house was denied him.

ence With the Number 10.

Robert Stewart. colored is convinced that
13 is an unlucky number, and it came about
from incidents of yesterday and today. He
lives at 10 Logan place. He had thirteen
persons In his house as his guests yester-
day when the police swooped down upon
the dwelling and arrested him. And today,
the 18th of the month, he was found guilty
of selling liquor and was sentenced to pay
a fine of $500 or to spend nine months in
Jail.
Stewart had been under the observation
of the police Of the second precinct and
yesterday they determined upon a raid.
Sergt Lord and Policemen Livingston, Nc
Quade, vandewalker and Mulhall of the
second precinct surrounded the house. They
could hear the party responding to toasts,
and Just as they proposed one to the police,
who do not bother u.s." the officers rushed
in. All the thirteen members of the party
had drinking glasses in their hands and
they emptied the contents into a coffee pot
on the stove. Liquor was found hidden I'M
der the bed and in other places in the house
and was taken to be used as evidence.
Stewart pleaded guilty when arraigned In
the Police Court this morning, and the SEN
tence of Imprisonment for nine months, in
default of $500 fine, filled his cup Of woe to
overlooking.
Policemen McQuade and Livingston con-
tinued their raids against Illegal liquor SELL
ing in the second precinct by also taking
into custody Edward Williams. who Is
alleged to have been keeping a speakeasy
of the perambulating variety, He was
found guilty by Judge Kimbal toeay and

ment for nine months.

RENEWAL OF LEASE.
johnson & Wimsatt Permitted to Con-
struct Buildings on Water Front.

Upon the recommendation Of Daniel E.
Garges secretary of the District wharf
committee, the Commissioners have re-
newed the lease of johnson & Wimsatt to
District property on the river front on the
south side of Water street between 18th and
18th streets. for term of five years from
March Is, 1908. The lease. however, is sub
ject to the proviso that it may be broken
by the Commissioners at any time under
act of Congress, and without incurrence
of damages.
The buildings and lumber yard of this
firm were destroyed by fire last January.
and it Is the desire to erect a new office
building and large lumber shed on the
property to replace the destroyed ones. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Garges there is an insurance
fund Of $1,000 available for this work,
which will be spent in the construction of
the buildings. 1t was the desire of Johnson
4 Wimsatt, at first, to spend considerably
more than 1000 in the construction of the
buildings, but the wharf committee disap-
proved this in view of the fact that Con-
gress may possibly provide in the near
future for the elaborate Improvement of the
river front as has been proposed.
