HEWS BIG TREE AT TRINITY
Passing Of Landmark In Few Green
Spots Of New York cIty-over
Three Hundred Years Old.

New York.-Busy passersby in low
er Broadway have paused in the last
few days before one of the few green
spots in the business section to no
tice the passing of an old landmark.
This is a tall tree in Trinity church
yard, on the south side, very near
Pine street.
This tree, which Is credited with
having passed its three hundTedth
birthday, recently died, and Thomas
Floyd the venerable head gardener
of all Trinity's grave yards, who has
served in that capacity more than
thirty years, decreed it must come
down, Mr.. Floyd hired a sailor, who
has trimmed off all but the trunk and
the arms of its main branches. Even
yet the tree reaches to the fifth story
of the Trinity building and almost
touches its windows.
This is the only tree IN Trinity
church yard which has been cut down
for more than a year.

PRINCE OF WALES A SMOKER
English Rulers Allow the Heir Three
Cigarettes a Day Since His Sew.
enteenth Birthday.

London. - Since his seventeenth
birthday It has Just become
known, the Prince Of Wales has
been permitted to enjoy an occa-
sional cigarette. Like the King of
Spain, he shows a preference for the
genuine Spanish cigaritos, which are
very small and made Of choice Havana
tobacco. They are not gummed, but
are held together by a dexterous in
ward fold CT the paper.
The king and queen did not wish
their eldest son to smoke until his
seventeenth birthday, and on that date
he received many gifts representing
the smokers small luxuries. If ru.
NOR speaks truly the young prince
does not show great enthusiasm as
a smoker, and is quite satisfied with
the three cigarettes a day which are
allotted to him until he reaches hiO
eighteenth birthday.
The health of Prince Henry continues
to cause anxiety. The experiment of
sending him to school at Broadstairs
has resulted in an improvement, but
the gain in strength is hardly rapid
enough to satisfy the royal physicians.
1t is hoped, however, that a quick
change for the better will come dur
ing his holiday sojourn in the High
lands.
Prince Henry's lack of vigor is the
more serious because he is growing
too fast for his age. He is the tall
est of the kings sons, and he has
the making of handsome lad. His
continued weakness does not seem to
affect the princes lively disposition,
which has earned for him the family
nickname Of "Bluebottle" He is the
humorist Of the royal children, and
his comicalities of manner and speech
are the delight of all who know him.

SECRET OF PASTORS SUCCESS

ner Has Much to Do With
the Matter.

The reason why good many min
isters Of fair ability are out of a job
is because they do not want to visit,
because they are looking for a church
that will fit their own notions rather
than trying to fit themselves to the
needs of a church. It is true that a
good many men do not know how to
call, they do not know how to behave
when they get into a house, they do
not like It and will shirk It every
chance they get. Yet calling is the
secret of success in almost every par
fish today-not the same kind OF call
ing in all places, but some kind in
every place-and If our seminaries
had wisdom they would fit their stu
dents to do their work in the best
way, in the only way in which 1t can
be done in the country at least. Give
one year to sermon-making and three
years to making gentlemen ia tAe
ruest sense of that word. Thus SEND
out men who can adapt themselves to
the needs Of the place where they are
called, and can thus serve human
souls, who being as they are, want
TO be better. The problem Of the
country church is to be solved by the
pastor rather than the preacher

10000 DAYS IN SCHOOL

sister, Mabel, are the other record
holders in this family. Elmer has at
tended seven years and Mabel six.
These three attend the Sunday
school Of the Church of st. James Of
Kingssessing, where their perfect rec

Once Robert broke his arm, and at
another time Elmer suffered similar
accident. But after surgeons had
placed the fractured bones In splints,
the two lads started of to the school
house. They said they wouldn't stay
out Of school on account OF a little

The mother of these three children
says the average mother is too willing
to excuse her child from school on ac-
count Of slight and petty illnesses.
Just the same, she says her children
have been unusually healthy and

markable record of the family.

very much as If the behest of the will

however, sets aside this provision of

NEEDLE ENDS LONG TRIP

A pair Of tweezers were used the
other day by Edmund c. Gaskill, a
lawyer of Atlantic City, to remove a
needle that had been in his body
twenty-three years. 1t had worked its
way from his knee to his shoulder.
He found 1t there when bathing the
shoulder in the belief he had rheuma-
tism. When eight years old, Gaslcill
fell against his mother, who was sew
ing, and the needle was jabbed deep
in his knee. A doctor failed to find it,
It was forgotten when the puncture
healed. That the needle took so long
in working through his body may be
explained by the fact that he is six
feet eight inches tall.
