ONE METHOD
Solution Proposed to Settle
Our Kentucky Tobacco
Troubles.
A SQUARE DEAL TO ALL
(Communicated.)

l. Let every one in Kentucky who
raises tobacco, join one or all of the
tobacco associations for tobacco
growers of this State, register in the
association books, paying an annual
zee OF Sl.OO per year and for this
fee receive an Association Card"
giving him all the rights and privi-
leges of this tobacco association for
one year, beginning on Nov. l, run
nlng IL months. Let the books of
the association remain open perpet-
ually for the reception of members
to the association.
2. Have a State law passed at
once, requiring the Tobacco Plant
ers' Association of the State to pro-
vide suitable sales houses all over
the State, open markets there for
the sale of association tobacco at any
time OF the year, when tobacco is be-
ing sold. Let the association fix the
prices on all grades of tobacco, have
it sampled, graded and ready for
sale, on the order of the grower who
owns the ! tobacco, said tobacco to
be sold either loose or priced, as the
grower may demand. Require the
association to fix the prices. on mr.
before the first day of November, of
each year, and the market open on
that day to all who may wish to sell
or buy.
3. Have another State Law pass
ed at once, requiring all tobacco
buyers who buy tobacco in Kentucky
to register with the Auditor of Ken
lucky at Frankfort, and paw him for
the State, $1,000, whether he BUYS
all the year or a part of the year,
and the time to extend from Nov. l.
OF each year twelve months, and the
buyer receive from the Auditor an
Annual Card" with all the rights
and privileges to buy this tobacco for
the year represented in the Card,
and none but registered buyers,
carrying Cards from the State Audi
tor be permitted to buy this tobacco
in Kentucky, and no one be permit
ted to buy or sell manufactured
tobacco in Kentucky, only through
legally authorized Association To-
bacco Sales Houses.
4. Fix fine of $4,000 as a pen
atty on either tobacco growers, or
buyers, who violate the above laws.
punishable by Imprisonment of 8 to
3 months in the county Jail, for each
offense.
5. Let all the people, men, women
and children, white and black. rise
up as one person, or body, speak
out, and join Governor Wilson and
the State officials, in restoring law
and order in Kentucky, and urge
the prosecution and punishment of
all Tobacco Trusts" and other
Trusts" who Violate the laws of
the State, together with the Night
"Agitators," Peace Arm
les" and all other violators of the
laws OF Kentucky, and everybody
assist in the protecution of life,
Liberty and Property, from one end
Of the State to the other.
6. The above proposed laws are
similar to the whiskey laws of the
State, and if passed at once by our
legislature, now in session at Frank
fort, peace and prosperity will pre-
vail, and Kentucky bloom and bios
som like summer rose.

She was all his fancy. painted her, but she was much disappointed in his appearance, so much so that when be appeared be- fore her, having proposed and been accepted by letter, she frankly told him that, although she married him, she was not in love with him. Their married life was long and happy, and the loss of his wife was a blow which Greeley did not long survive.

their quick decay. For years the
 park department has done every thing possible to save the trees, but all efforts have failed. Central park, Bryant park, Madison Square park and every other park in Manhattan shows the same leafless trees on every side. On the other hand there is the strange fact that trees which are allowed to grow wild and have no attention whatever thrive and
 prosper. According to those who have studied the matter, the reason is very simple. The trees growing in parks have no layers of fallen leaves to protect them, as have those in the woods. It seems that nature has provided for this with her usual wisdom. The fallen leaves cover the

TREE DWELLING ANTS.
South American Insect That Acts as
 Plant Guardian.

Ant defenders of plants and trees are some of natures pretty marvels. The Cecropia adenopus is remarka- ble tree of south Brazil, widely dis tributed through the tropics. Its slen- der trunk is crowned with long leaves at the ends of the branches.
 A few active ants run continually along the branches and the leaves, but if the tree is shaken slightly an army of ants rushes out by small apertures ready for a savage assault on the tn- truder. The ant is the terrible guard ian that the tree has retained to pro- tect it from its most formidable enc my, the leaf cutter ant.
 The defenders rarely leave their re- treat, where they live on small whitish egg shaped bodies about one-twelfth of an inch long. known as Mueller's corpuscles. These are formed of deli cate tissue, rich in proteids and all, as rations for the garrison of defender ants to feed upon. The curious ar- engagement by which entrance is made to the hollow stem has been studied by W. Schimper.
 Just above the point of insertion of each leaf extends nearly to the supe- rlor node superficial groove, at whose end is rounded depression. There the tissue is thin. like q diaphragm in Q tube, and 1t also is soft. The hole by which the ant enters is always pierced at this spot. The ants seem to have made their entrance through the groove originally because 1t was at the top. In the course of this plants further development natural se- lection augmented these natural ad- vantages. so that finally the thin, frail diaphragm as it exists today was de- veloped.-Chicago Tribune.

ground with a soft, spongy layer that absorbs and holds all the moisture and at the same time acts as fertil- izer, nourishing the trees growing near it. Furthermore, it keeps the ground soft underneath, so that the moisture can percolate through the roots of the trees. In the parks the leaves are quickly gathered as soon as they fall and the ground is left bare. AS consequence the ground hardens and moisture finds it diff cult to penetrate to the roots. The suggestion has been made that the fallen leaves be undisturbed, es pecially in Central park, in last desperate effort to stop the denudo- tion of the park.-Philadelp Pub lie Ledger.
