killed while serving in the union army during the
civil war.
1t was letter to a Mrs. Bixby, Bos-

of boys was five, not seven:
Dear Madam: 1 have been shown in
the files of the war department a state
ment of the adjutant general OF the
state OF Massachusetts that you are
the mother OF five sons who have died
gloriously on the field of battle. 1 feel
how weak and fruitless must be any
words of mine which should attempt to
beguiIe you from the grief of a loss
so overwhelming. But can not refrain
from rendering to you the consolation
that may be found in the thanks of a
republic they died to save / pray that
our heavenly Father may assuage the
anguish of your bereavement and leave
YOU only the cherished memory of loved
and lost and the solemn pride that
must be yours to have laid so costly a
sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Scotland's Treeless Hills

Afforestation has lately been pro-
claimed as a crying need now in Scot
land, but early travellers in that coun-
try seem to have made manv comments
on the treeless aspect of the country.
The Glasgow News quotes Sir Anthony
Weldon as protesting in 1917 that If
Judas had been Scot he would have
experienced difficulty in securing a tree
to hang himself.
Another Englishman, who lived dur
ing the same period. writes that he
had diligently observed. but can not
see any timber In riding 100 miles"
Perhaps this was largely due to the
fact that efforts to adorn the land
scape met with little appreciation.
