A Lesson For the Inquisitive.

a train was Just starting out from
Kings Cross when shirt sleevcd
man came rushing down the plat
form shouting, Smith, Smith"
A man in one Of the last car
riages, which was a corridor one,
heard the shout and, being naturally
curious, put his head out of the win
dow. As he did so the man running
along the platform reached him
and struck him a hard blow in the
face. BY the time he had recov-
cred from his surprise the train was
outside the station, so he at once
summoned the car attendant.
"What kind of an outrage is
this?" he demanded of the attend
ant. "Here am |, an innocent pas
senger. sitting in this carriage just
as the train pulls out of the station.
Suddenly some man runs down the
platform shrieking, Smith, Smith.
| look out of the window, and he
reaches up and almost knocks my
head off. Now. | want to-
pardon me-" interrupted the at.

MOVING BIG TREES.
An Expensive Undertaking, Sometimes
Requiring Year.

Trees of a very great size can be
moved successfully if time and
money are of no account, but it is
az expensive process and should be
attempted only where immediate
effect is wanted or in the case of q
rare variety that requires to be re-
moved and cannot be replaced.
To prepare a large tree for re-
moval, says Horticulture, deep
trench should be dug around the
tree from five to seven feet from
the base of the tree and working
under so as to cut off all the roots
possible without disturbing the
hole.
The ends of the roots should all
be cut smooth and the trench filled
up with a good compost of peat,
rotten sods and manure and left for
a wear, when a second trench can
be opened at the outside of the
first and the tree carefully under
mined with a pick, so as to remove
the soil with as little injury to the
young fibers as possible, and the
tree carefully drawn over so as to
cut whatever taproot may have been
left.
If supply of bass mats is at
hand they can be carefully bound
around the ball of earth, and if il
is not too large it can be loaded on
a drag and drawn to the place Of
planting, where the hole has been
prepared beforehand.
If too large for drag the ball Of
earth may be surrounded by boards
or layers of hay and straw firmly
bound with cords, a few boards
passing underneath and the whole
fastened to the stem, which should
be well wrapped with hay or woole'
material before any force for lift
ing is applied. 1t can then be
raised with the use of a derrick
on to a truck and taken to the de-
sired place, lowered in the hole, the
binding taken off, the roots care
fully spread and the soil well work
ed in among them and well frmed.
Large trees can also be trans
planted by digging around them in
winter and allowing the earth
around them to be frozen solid,
having the ground prepared pre-
viously and covered with coarse ma
terial to keep out the frost, and re-
moving them on sled to their des-
tination.

WHO WAS WRONG2
A Lawyers Opinion on Lease and
Courts Decision.

Courts Decision.
Some years ago al attorney was
called in by large company and
handed lease
"Give us yom a2inior " said the
president. I'VE h., Il great deal
of this sort of legal business, and it
is only fair to say that your opinion
NAV mean much to us and to your
self"
The LAWYER went through the
document with some care, but quick
ly and on the spot.
"Um-will YOU tell me what firm
drew up this MT" he asked
at length.
"No firm at ALL" was the reply.
For five wears we have drawn every
lease made by our company right in
this office. My subordinate here,
Mr.. Johns, is the only man we have
ever found who thoroughly under
stands the complications and condi-
tons of such transactions as we en-
ter into"
The attorneys face frightened.
"This is one of the best drawn
leases | have ever examined" he
said heartily. "You are wise to
handle such matters inside your own
organization. | commend your bust
ness judgment"
"Can you suggest any improve
ments ?"
'None whatever" declared the
lawyer.
"Can you discern any flaws"
"No-emphatically! Mr.. Johns"
continued the attorney, turning to
the presidents assistant, 81 want to
congratulate you, as a lawyer, upon
your thorough grasp Of this most
difficult branch. In my opinion this
instrument is unassailable. 1t will
hold in the highest court of this
state"
"That is what we want-your
honest opinion" said the president.
"You have given it, and we are
much obliged to YOU and shall be
pleased to have a bill for your serv-
ice. Ny dear sir, the highest court
in the state declared this lease null
and void last week, and we lost
$4,000 suit upon it"--Circle Mag

DINNER AE0 OAnLIIlG.
A Railway Incident Ct Young Cou-
Plies Honeymoon Trip.

Still shedding an occasional trlc-
kle of rice from their garments
when they moved, a very young cOu-
pie recently provided for carful of
bored travellers the touch of comedy
relief for long journey through a
fog dimmed landscape. The Youths
Companion tells the story:
They were so very young, so very
fond, SO very oblivious of the pene-
trating quality of the whispers in
which they exchanged tender moth
ings, they had captured the amused
attention of the entire car. They
had been too occupied with each
other to remember to dine until the
train was rapidly nearing the place
where the dining car was to be drop
ped and where they were to leave
it for long drive by coach.
Then the young husband FASTENED
back to see if there was yet time to
snatch mouthful. while the girl
wife began gathering their things
together, putting on her waterproof
and tying a big blue veil over her
bridal hat.
Presently he returned, glanced
down the aisle, fixed an adoring
gaze upon IA gray waterproofed fig
ure with blue veil halfway along it
and, dropping into the seat beside
her, said rapturously in voice of
excellent carrying quality:
Darling, we can have an oyster
stew"
Waterproofs are deceptive things.
The gray figure turned, and a rich
Irish voice replied:
"Darlin' | may be, sor-I'll niver
be denyin' the name I've often an
swered to-but I'm not the darlin'
yell be feedin' eyesters to, worse
luck. Yell find her three seats be-
yant."
He found her, rapidly, and the
irrepressible litter that followed
their exit in search of oysters arous-
ed them suddenly to a consciousness
of other inhabitants than loves and
doves, even in this rosiest Of worlds.

Poet and Creditor.

A Paris contemporary tells this
story about Joseph Merry, the
French poet: A creditor called one
morning early to ask payment of an
account. He interviewed the poet
in bed and expressed sorrow at hav-
ing to trouble him, but would he
settle the account. "With pleasure,
replied Merry. "Have the goodness
to open the first drawer of that cab
met" 81 have, sir" replied the
creditor, "but there is nothing
there" Indeed? Well, try the
next" "There is nothing in it"
"That is strange. Try the third"
"There is nothing in there either"
'Look on the mantelshelf." "But
it is the same as the drawers" at
is increditable. Have you looked
on the table," Eyes" "And in
the secretaire?" eyes, and there is
nothing" an my clothes ?" eyes;

"Ah, WE'LL" replied Merry, with the
greatest composure, eff there is no
money in the drawers or on the
mantel or on the table or in the sec
