But she did not yield without

asked for an armistice. Then she pro-

With q low bow and without a word,

On the afternoon of the very same

This epistle should be very dignified

its being attributed to mere pique.

Sowlna and PLANTING.

Experimental broadcast sowings
were made during the year in twenty
seven forests In the area Of Idaho.
Montana, Washington. Oregon. wyom-
ing, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico.
The total area sown WIS 1S1 acres, Of
which forty-seven were In the Black
Hills national forest.
About 100000 trees were planted last
year by the forest service in Ne
braska, Kansas, Colorado, New Mex
leo. Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Califor-
MIA. There are now growing at the
planting stations over 100000 trees
which will be ready for planting in

spring of 1905 to produce 100000
healthy seedlings.

Ex-GoV. MORTON. the years 1866
that he was governor of New York
The former vice president has a splen-
did estate on the Hudson, Ellerslie,
where he carries on farming upon
quite an extensive scale.
Governor Morton was one Of the first
of Americas wealthy men to incor-
porate dairy as a conspicuous fea-
ture of his country estate. Ellerslie Is
one of the finest of that succession of
splendid places that fringe the right
bank of the Hudson northward from
Poughkeepsie owned by wealthy and
York city families.
Incompatible natural beauty and
felicitous situations have been made
the most of, and lavish expenditure
has been directed in most cases by
good taste and Judgment. The crests
and the hollows. the fair slopes, the
carefully preserved woodlands and the
grassy valleys offer an ideal setting
for the stately mansions and their ac-
cessories. On many of these estates
the farm adjunct has in the last few
years been strongly emphasized. Many
owners have followed the example set
by Mr.. Morton, and sleek herds Of fine
cattle are prominent features of the
parklike stretches of landscape.
Among Mr.. Mortons neighbors are
the Astors, the Chanlers. the Dins-
mores. the Millses and the r. W. Van
Gerbilts.

though President Taft did graduate
from the New Haven institution.
When Mr.. Root was elected senator
from New York he resigned as secre-
tary of state at once and gave Mr. Ba-
con a chance to serve In that office
for about six weeks while the Roose-
welt administration was drawing to a
close. He had had considerable eXpe-
rlence in handling the duties of the
office of secretary of state, for he was
acting secretary on several occasions
when Mr.. Root was visiting South
America and Mexico in pursuance of
his policy of furthering closer relations
with Latin American republics. Mr.
Bacon was a member of the firm Of ].
p. Morgan & Co prior to assuming the
post of assistant secretary of state.
He was sometimes called the Adonls
of the Roosevelt cabinet on account of
his handsome face and figure, for he
was quite an athlete while at Harvard
and, though now forty-nine years of
age. looks much younger and still pos
sesses a splendid physique. Mr. Bacon
