The Pa..Ing Of The Hickory

The manufacturers Of many varieties
OF tools, agricultural and others, find
themselves facing a serious calamity in
the rapid disappearance OF that most
valuable of American hard woods, the
hickory. For certain uses, like ak
helves and hammer handles, almost no
satisfactory substitute can be found.
One of the hardest, it is naturally one
of the slowest growing trees, and many
years must elapse, if paintings are un-
taken, before the trees can be made
available for timber. Some can yet be
found in Missouri and in parts OF other
states in the same latitude, but from
New England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and
Wisconsin the hickory has almost dis
appeared. Yet not long ago 1t was
burned as the best Of frewood-thous-
ands of cords every winter The nuts,
too! How the "shellbaks' are missed!
Probably the best plan for getting these
back, for the delight of young and old,
is to plant hickories for shade trees
along the roads and city streets.

Easter Clothes

The idea OF having new articles OF
dress for Easter seems to be the one
custom which thru the ages has been
most lastingly preserved, and it is not
very probable that all of the many
Young ladies who could not go to
church on Easter without new bonnets
or of the young gentlemen who so con-
scientiously visit their tailors few
weeks before Easter know of the old
superstition that new apparel worn on
Easter would bring good fortune in
love affairs during the ensuing year. If
they did, the crush at the tailors and
the demands on the dressmakers would
probably be something enormous.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-03-29

The Saxons and in fact all the leu
tonic races worshipped Easter and kept
her feast day about the time OF the
spring equinox. Unbridled license
was allowed on this occasion and jests
of every kind played. Many OF these
survive, notably that practiced by the
sturdy countrymen north of the Hum
Der who during Easter sally forth into
the streets and claim a kiss or silver
sixpence from every woman they meet.
Not long ago in the town OF Bedding
ton, Northumberland, a coal miner was
sued for kissing woman on Easter.
He pleaded the old custom and was
immediately released. Chicago In
