CYPRESS KNEES.

How They Are Formed - Trees
Curious Blunt Roots.
The cypress knee is a familiar object
in all the lowland forests of the South,
but there are thousands Of northern
people who have never seen them, and
there are many southern people, too,
who have not seen them till they stun
bled over them some dark night. The
knee is Of solid wood, has no limits
or leaves, is anywhere from. 6 inches
to feet IN height, and It's rounded
top and fattened sides give 1t very
much the shape Of human leg bent at
the knee till thigh and calf are brought
together; hence the appropriate name
Of knee"
For a number Of years was curious
as to what part the knees played in
the life Of the cypress tree, writes
correspondent OF Forest and Stream,
for they are part of the root system
and do not grow Independently. They
were not sprouts, trying to grow into
trees, for they never developed
branches; and the final conclusion was
that their only use was for people to
stumble over. How and why such use
less appendages to the tree were form
ed was a mystery until one day, when
drifting down a deep channel which
had been washed through a cypress
swamp, the secret was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots Of some Of the trees,
and roots in all stages Of growth were
in sight. None of these roots was less
than 215 inches thick and of uniform
size clear to their tips, or rather clear
to their blunt ends, for there was no
tip.
Nature intended these roots to grow
in soft mud, and they were all right
for that purpose, but when the blunt
end Of a root encountered something
too hard to push through 1t bent or
buckled In the line of least resistance,
and this was generally toward the top
of the ground, and the continuing
growth of the root pushing the bend
further upward made the bend closer,
until finally the two arms of the bend
were close together and they grew to-
gether, with one shoot of bark enclos-
ing both.

Piety with Her Cooking.

A well-known bishop relates that
while on a recent visit to the South
he was In a small country town where,
owing to the scarcity Of good servants,
most Of the women preferred to do
their own work.
He was awakened quite early by the
tones Of a clear soprano voice singing,
Nearer, My God, to Thee" As the
bishop lay In bed he meditated upon
the piety which his hostess must pos
sess which enabled her to go about her
task early In the morning singing such
a noble hymn.
At breakfast he spoke to her about It
and told her how pleased he was.
ooh, law" she replied, that's the
hymn I boil eggs by; three verses for
soft and five for hard."-Rochester n.

THE CRY FOR WIVES.

Ranchers Appealing to Eastern
Girls to Come and Share Homes.
Tell us how and where we can find
wives! !" is the cry that is going up
from thousands of young men In the
West; and, mingled with the voices of
the young fellows are the more mature
voices Of middle-aged and even elder
ly men, all intent on the question which
has been asked in the West ever since
there has been West"
James Creal, a wealthy cattIeman
and ranchman from Wyoming, came to
Omaha and secured the services of
Rev. Charles Savidge Mr. Savidge
announced from his pulpit that a
wealthy ranchman wanted a wife. The
newspapers got hold of the story and
printed it. Within three months Creel
received more than 10000 letters from
women In every civilized country. All
wanted to marry him. And he mar
ried a girl from Indiana.
Over in the Big Horn basin IN Wyo-
ming there is a long, fertile valley
called Gray Bull Valley, from Gray
Bull river. All the ranchers were
wealthy, but there were only half a
dozen who had wives. Cinnamon were
hired to take care Of the houses. But
these ranchers one day got together
and 500 Of them formed the Gray Bull
Matrimonial Club. They advertised In
Eastern papers for wives, telling Of the
advantages Of being a ranchman's wife
and describing the country. In two
weeks the government had to send ex-
ira help to that postof1ce. The post
master was fairly swamped with mail.
And all Of 1t was addressed to the sec
rotary of the matrimonial club. That
was nearly two years ago, and since
that time there have been more than
400 marriages IN the Big Horn Basin.
Up at Chadron, Neb., the Northwest
ern Railroad has had an eating house
at the depot. A dozen girls are en-
ployed there. 1t Is In the heart Of the
great cattle country and there are hun
dreds of cowboys and ranchers in that
section. The manager Of that eating
house changes forces about once every
month. The girls don't leave the cOun-
try-they simply marry and become
queen" of some big ranch-or settle
on a homestead with their husbands.
Out at Laramie, Wyo., the young men
formed & matrimonial club and placed
advertisements In Eastern papers, ask

more of this wonderful place"
1t is needless to follow them In their
explorations. The Colonel saw that
Tom had told the simple truth At
either end Of the ravine a few charges
Of dynamite would be suncient to clear
a passage, while very little grading
would be needed on the way. Then the
two returned to the hotel.
II want to buy my time" he an
nounced, briefly, to his father.
"What?"
II want to buy my time until I'm Of
age" stoutly repeated Tom. How
much will you take"

whats got into the boy? Where hare
you been?"
Tom told his story modestly, and
produced check for $500.
Colonel Thornton gave me this" he
concluded, land if you'll give me my
time till I'm Of age you can have the
check"
Mr.. Blake assented, and the bargain
was soon made.
Next week Lazy Tom" went to work
in an engineers Office in tie city, and
from that time his rise was steady.
Persistent application, added to his In
tense love for his chosen profession,
soon placed him in the front rank, and

every comfort heart could wish.-Mon-

the boys should go elsewhere When
there were unmarried girls IN theIE
own toyn. The result was that the
girls organized a club to Encourage the
local young men TO choose wives nearer
home. At the same time they placed
counter advertisements wherever the
men had advertised, advising girls to
stay at home and calling attention to
the fact that there were plenty of I'M
married girls in Laramie.
Sometimes the matrimonial hunt Is
reversed, however, as in the case Of
old Jim Dickinson, living near Huron,
s. d. Old Jim is wealthy-and he had
four daughters. Something seemed the
matter that his girls could not get
married. SO old Jim inserted an lad"
calling attention to his girls, and prom
ised to do the right thing for the young
men who married provided the
men themselves were all right One
stipulation was that the applicant was
to prove his worth by working on the
old mans farm for six months before
he should declare himself to either Of
the girls.
The first applicant was a graduate Of
an agricultural college, and before old
jim knew what had happened he had
planned so many improved methods Of
farming that the old man relented and
let him marry when he had been on the
farm only three months. And he was
given 800 acres of land as a wedding
present.
The next one was a civil engineer In
search of health, and when his thine"
was up he had put in so many mechan-
zeal conveniences that the old man
scarcerly had any work at all to do.
But the standard had become so high
on old Dickinsons farm that none Of
the newer men were considered "eligi-
ble," and there are yet two good looking
girls, with lots of money, waiting for
husbands to come along and claim
them.
When a girl or woman gets out
among the ranchers and cowboys in the
sparsely settled districts Of the West
ern States, if she doesn't get married
within three months It's not because
she has not had a dozen opportunities
to do so, but simply because she doesn't
want to marry-or that the right man
has not yet arrived.-Omaha Dispatch
