Fail Planting of
Trees and Shrubs

Whether trees and shrubs shall be
planted in the fall or spring depends
on the latitude in which they are to be
grown and upon the particular kind.
Most decidous kinds will succeed
fully as well in central and southern
ATTITUDES if planted in autumn, while
most of them in the extreme north
will winter kill if planted at that
time of year.
In any event it is well to get the
deciduous plants from the nursery in
the fall of the year and if there are
reasons why they should not be imr
mediately planted they can be COW
cred during the winter and will be
ready when wanted for spring plant
ing.
The spring season is often so
short that everything has to be done
with a rush and much of the work
that should be done is omitted. In
the fall the weather is generally more
favorable and the soil is in better
condition and the work is more easily
and cheaply done. However in places,
where the ground freezes deep in
winter the plants should not be set
out in the fall but should be stored
in a cellar or pit or covered by dig
ging a trench in a thoroughly
drained place some two feet deep
and wide enough to accommodate the
roots.
The plants may be set in the
trench in an inclined position and
very close together and the soil is
gently firmed about the roots and
heaped in mound above them. This
mound and the tops of the plants
should be mulched or covered with
hay, straw or other litter to prevent
too much evaporation during the win
ter. Nurserymen can usually supply
better stock in the fall and the plants
cannot always be had just when
wanted in the spring because of the
general rush of work.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Perplexity.

Barbara was reused early next morn-
ing by Eve; Eve had oversight herself
when she ought to be up; she woke
and rose early when another hour of
rest would have been boon to poor
Barbara. The sisters occupied ad-
joining rooms that communicated, and
the door was always open between
them. When Eve was awake she
would not suffer her sister to sleep on
She stopped over her and kissed her
closed eyes till she woke. Eve had
thrown open the window, and the
sweet fresh air blew in. The young
girl was not more than half dressed.
She stood by Barbara's bed with her
lovely hair dishevelled about her head,
forming halo of red-gold glory to her
face. That face was lovely with its
delicate roses of health and happiness.
and the blue eyes twinkling in it full
Of life and fun. Her neck was ex-
posed. Shee folded her slender arms

Thought They Were spooks.

When the southern lady left town
an6 moved to the old manor house
of her ancestors she was accompanied
by her maid
''And now, Lucinda" remarked the
mistress, as she showed the maid
through the gloomy old mansion,
here are the haunts of my great
grandparents
The next day Lucinda packed her
trunk and started for the station.
But what in the world is the mat
ter?" demanded her mistress, in sur
prise. Haven't we treated you
right?'
ooh, yes," assured Lucinda, keep
ing an eye on the dark, wide hall
ways.
"Then why In the world are you
leaving without notice?'
"Ah can't help it, missus; All can't
help it. All couldn't think oh workin'
any place where der was ha'nts."

SHORT TERM SENATORS.

OF fifty-two senators from states
east of the big river, twenty-seven
have served more than a single term
and eighteen more than ten years.
Seniority in the matter of service
in the senate may perhaps be said to
count for more in that body than does
individual ability. 1t certainly
counts for much more than oratory
The most influential positions, the
posts Of the greatest honor and the
greatest opportunity, the chairman
ships of the leading committees, go
almost invariable to the seniors Of
the party represented by the ma
jority in the senate. AS much as in
the practice of law, in the manage
ment of a great railway, in the con-
duct of vast business, training, ex-
perience and long familiarity with an
infinity of detail tell in the senate of
the United States. So far Is this
true that it is perhaps possible to say
that in the great majority of cases
the value of a senator to his senate
and to the nation and the honor
which he brings to his state are in
proportion to the length of his serv-
ice.
No student of the history of the
United States senate and of its mem
bers can reach any other conclusion
than that the body is a place for
fixed stars, and not for comets, for
and not for mere sky
rockets, place for sturdy wheel
horses who know their work, and not
for prancing political colts.-New
York Sun.

Chinese Bows Toothache.

In China fathers and mothers do
not know how to care for their chill
dren, says a traveller In the Orient.
If boys tooth aches, for example,
the doctor sometimes hits it hard to
kill the worms which he supposes to
be gnawing at the roots: or gives a
little opium to relieve the pain, thus
starting a habit which soon makes
the boy a useless man.

no use trying concealment with me.
! know who gave you the ring. know
more than you suppose
Jasper has been telling tales ex-
claimed Eve.
Barbara WINGED but did not speak.
Eve supposed that Jasper had in
formed her sister about lne meeting
with Watt on the Raven Rock.
Are you going to sleep again 2
asked Eve, as Barbara had cast her
self back on her pillow with the face
in it. The elder sister shook her head
and made sign with her hand to be
left alone.
When Barbara was nearly dressed,
Eve stole on tiptoe out of her own
room into that of her sister. She was
uneasy at Barbara's silence; she
| thought her sister was hurt and Of
Tended with her. So she stepped be
hind her, put her arms round her waist
as Barbara stood before the mirror,
and her head over her sisters shoulder,
partly that she might kiss her cheek,
partly also that she might see her own
| face in the glass and contrast it with
that of Barbara. You are not cross
with me?' she said coaxingly.
No, Eve, no one can be cross with
you She turned and kissed her pas
lsionately. Darling! you must give
back the little ring and recover that OF
your mother
1T is impossible answered Eve.
Then must do what I can for you,
sad Barbara. Barbara was resolved
what to do She would speak to her
father, if necessary; but before that
she must have a word on the matter
with Jasper. 1t was impossible to toll
| crate an attachment and secret en-
gagement between him and her sister.
She sought an opportunity Of speak
| ing privately to the young man, and
easily found one. But when they were
together alone, she discovered that 1t
was not easy to approach the topic
that was uppermost in her mind
was very tired last night, Mr..
Jasper she said, 'over-tired, ana am
hardly myself this morning The loss
of my aunt, the funeral, the dividing
of her poor little treasures, and then
the lengthy ride, upset me. 1t was
very ridiculous of me last night to cry,
but a girl takes refuge in tears when
overspent, it relieves and even re-
freshes her
Then she hesitated and looked down.
But Barbara had a strong will, and
when she had made up her mind to do
what she believed to be right, allowed
no weakness to interfere with the ex-
ecution.
And now I want to speak about
something else. I must beg you will
not encourage Eve. She is child,
lthoughtless and foolish
Yes, she should be kept more
strictly guarded. I do not encourage
her. I regret her giddiness, and give
her good advice, which she casts to
the winds. Excuse my saying it, but
you and Mr. Jordan are spelling the
child
My father and I spoil Eve! That is
no. POSSIBLE
You think so; I do not. The event
will prove which is right, Miss Jordan.
Barbara was annoyed. What right
had Jasper to dictate how Eve was to
be treated?
That ring began Barbara, and
halted.
1T is not lost again, SURELY said
Jasper.
Barbara frowned. I am not allud-
ing to my ring which you found along
with my glove, but to that which you
gave to Eve
4 gave her no ring; do not under
stand you

round Barbara's head and shook it
and kissed again, till the tired, sleep
stupefied girl awoke.
I cannot sleep this lovely morning,
said Eve; then, with true feminine non
sequ'tur; So you must get up. Barbie
oh, Eve is it timer Barbara sat up
in bed instantly wide awake Her
sister seated herself on the side of the
bed and laid her hand in her lap.
'Even exclaimed Barbara suddenly
what have you thereon your finger?
Who gave you that?'
1T is ring, Bah. Is it not beauti
full, forget-me-not of turquoise set in
a circlet of gold?',
Who gave it you, Ever
A pixy gift!' laughed the girl care
lessly.
This will not do. You must answer
me. Where did you get it?'
I found it, Barbie.'
Found if--where?'
Where are forget-me-nots usually
found?' Then hastily, before her sis
ter could speak, But what a lovely
ring you have got on your pincushion
Babi Mine cannot compare with it
Is that the ring heard the maids say
you lost?'
Yes, dear
How did you recover it? Who
found it for your
Jasper
Eve turned her ring on her finger.
My darling said Barbara, you have
not been candid with me about that
ring. Did DR.. Coyshe give it to you?
DR.. Coyshe! oh, Barbara, that ever
you should think of me as aspiring to
be Mrs. Squash!'
When did you get the ring?'
Yesterday
Who gave it to you? You must tell
me-
have already told you-I found it
by the wood, as truly as you found
yours on the down
heart beat fast
'Eve!-where is the ribbon and your
mothers ring? You used to have that
ring always in your bosom Where is
it? Have you parted with that?'
Ewes color rose, flushing face and
throat and BOSOM
oh. darling!' exclaimed Barbara,
answer me truly. To whom have you
given that ring?'
1 have not given it; I have lost IL.
You must not be angry with me, Bah
You lost yours Ewes eyes sank as
she spoke, and her voice faltered.
The elder sister did not speak for a
moment; she looked hard at Eve, who
stood up and remained before her in
a pretty pentitential attitude, but un-
able to meet her eye.
Barbara considered. Whom could
her sister have met? There was no
one, absolutely no one she could think
of, if Mr.. Coyshe were set aside, but
Jasper. Now Barbara had disapproved
of the way in which Eve ran after
Jasper before she departed for Ashbur-
ton. She had demonstrated. but she
knew that her remonstrances carried
small weight. Eve was a natural CO.
|quette. She loved to be praised, ad-
mired, made much of. The life at
Morwell was dull, and Eve sought So
ciety of any sort where she could
chatter and attract admiration and
provoke compliment. Eve had not
made any secret of her liking for Jas
per, but Barbara had not thought there
was anything serious in the liking. II
was a child's fancy. But then, she
considered, would any mans heart be
able to withstand the pretty wiles OF
Eve? Was it possible for Jasper to be
daily associated with this fairy Great
ure and not love her?'
Eve said barbara gravely, "it is of

BAD BOILERS JAR CITY HALL
COunciI eedle of Defective MAJ
chinery, Though Warned by
Boiler Inspector.

Pound, pound, pound, go the pumps in
the boiler room of the city hail. and with
each pound the costly city building is
Jared to its very foundations, a state OF
affairs which will cause the raoklng OF
the structure in time.
City Boiler Inspector Wolfe notified tbs
democrats in the council of the defective
pumps and boiler over two years ago, soon
after taking office, and succeeded IN get
ting three OF the boilers repaired. The
democrats refused to do anything with the
pumps, however, and today they are pound
ing furiously, shaking the tables IA the
room above so that 1t lie impossible for
the ~bookkeepers in the office OF the city
comptroller to keep on with their work,
and rafting the windows as II the wind
was blowing forty knots an hour.
The democrats refuse to heed the de-
struction and remain serene in the face
of the probability that one Of the remain
ing pumps may break down completely
at any time, thereby stopping all elevator
service and compelling people 10, walk the
five stories to the upper offices In the hall.
The Jump are used to pump water into
a tank to furnish the motive power for
the elevators. Three pumps were Installed.
One broke down two years ago aad tho
custodian Of the builGing, Dave Rawden,
has refused to fix It and the council will
not order it done. The others art now
breaking down as fast as they can and
the pounding of them can be heard lin the
lower offices and on the north side of the
building, where they are SITUATED the floors
tremble. tf
The pumps are operated by steam power.
as much steam being expended to run them
as would be required to run an electric
motor, which means are used TO operate
the elevators in the larger office buildings
of the city.
There is no immediate danger from the
pounding Of these old pumps said Assls-
tant City Building Inspector Maus. ''but II
stands to reason that the constant Earring
which can be felt on the lower Moor does
not do this costly and magnificent city hall
any good. II is not the business Of this
department to see that the pumps are
fixed, but somebody ought TO do some
thing"

CATTLE-Receipts of cattle this morning
were larger than yesterday, 262 cars being
reported in. The total for the three days
shows an increase of over one-half as COM
pared with last weeks extremely light run.
In spite of the large receipts the market
as a whole was active and stronger.
Buyers were all out early II. morning
and 1t was very apparent right from the
outset that they carried liberal orders for
beef steers, The result was that the market
opened active and anything at ell desirable
sold very freely at prices that generally
looked 1Oc higher than yesterday. Quite a
string of Montana rangers sold up to S.25.
Cows and heifers were also In active de-
mand and anything desirable was safely
strong to 10c higher than yesterday. Even
the common to medium grades sold more
freely, so that although the offerings were
large the most of them changed hands in
very good season.
The feeder market, especially on the more
desirable grades, was also active and any
where from strong to quite a little higher.
Spectators all seemed anxious for cattle
and 1t was no trouble at all to dispose. of
desirable kinds at very satisfactory figures.

NEW YORK, Nov. I.-Today'ss sequel to
yesterdays market performance In the two
Hartman Pacific stocks olened the eyes of
the more conservative lemen to the fact
that the speculation was entering on a
reckless and hazardous stage. There came
a pause to take stock of the situation and
conduct of market operation. which was
shown by the evident lesseniRg Of specu-
lative holders and decline in the rates of ac-
uvity in the market. There was a belief
prevalent I'm the financial district that these
results were caused to some extent by regu-
interests and banks, which saw in the head
long course OF the speculation a threat of
peru and the seeds of harm TO the course of
Improvement and expansion.
