Miss Lathrop's going into mouse farm
ing was one of the most natural things
in the world. Many men and women
have their life work cut out for them from
the very beginning if they only follow
their natural instinct. 1t was so with
Miss Lathrop. When she was a little
girl she evinced her fondness for rats
and mice. When her small companions
would gather their scant skirts about
them and run at the sight of a mouse
Abbie Lathrop would stoop down and
call the mouse TO her. She seemed to
have an extraordinary power over these
small animals.
The first pets she had were a pair of
dancing mice that she saw in Boston
dealers window. She coveted these more
than anything else on earth and saved up
money until she could buy them, for her
folk were plain farmer people and not at

1t, although if the news got about among
the felines of the countryside there Is no
doubt that scores of them would hasten
to make a raid upon this mouse farm,
which probably is the nearest thing on
earth that corresponds to q cats idea Of
heaven.
Miss Lathrop is a New Highlander,
born and bred, and she has no patience
with the farmers in her neighborhood
who talk of hard times. She counsels
all of them to go into ''freak" farming of
some sort, and points to her own ex-
perienee to prove the money that there is
in it. She says that every abandoned
farm could be made to pay in one way or
another, If the people who lived on it had
a little energy. She points out that fur
farming, fish farming, feather farming
or game farming can be started on verJ
little capital and bring big results. She,
is looking forward to the time when .

IF the fine old trees on your family
estate begin to look old and worn
before their time, or if the newly
. planted shade trees bordering your
suburban garden are not thriving as
they should. you do not let them sicken
and die, but you call in the services Of a
tree physician. The tree physician dag
noses the case and then operates or treats,
as he'thinks best.
Tree surgery is a novelty in the mod
ern science of forestry. Not so much in
the science, perhaps, as in its applica-
ton to town and country places. Ameri
cans are beginning to appreciate the
beauty and scenic value of their tower
ing elms and naples and oaks and to
realize that II these nature ornaments
are always to look their best and to
grow and expand they must have little
of that beauty treatment which stays
Che hanQ OF lime.
A few months ago three young for
esters, graduates of Eastern forestry
schools, established themselves in New
York city for the purpose of rejuTenating
trees in the vicinity Of the metropolis and
of improving the newer paintings, which
sometimes need only the slightest treat
ment to make them flourish magni6cently.
They had had great deal Of experience in
the Maine woods and have already ne
stored some of the historic college trees,
without which there could be no college
tradition, no wide spreading chestnut or
oak, at least for many years, under which

we'll to classmates grown dear.
The campuses of Yale and Bodwoin
both show examples of the new tree
surgery which is being done by these
young men. The century old Thorn
dyke Oak, beneath whose branches the
Bowdoin College classes say 'goodby,"
was almost in the last stages Of decay
not long ago. 1t was cracked and q
large cavity had appeared in one side.
Bowdoin men, who are fond of the
ioak, with college memories clustered
around its SCARED trunk. decided to find
out if the life Of their favorite tree
could not be saved or prolonged.
One Of the THO Of foresters was called
into consultation, and he worked long
over the oak, succeeded IN restoring 1t to-
almost its original shape and contour

then the Prince, whom the singer had

Predetermined, inasmuch as they be-
lieyed they would be punished for any
injury to persons 50 unfortunate. This
belief on the part Of the Indians once
enabled a scientist attached to a gov
eminent expedition in the Southwest to
escape from a perilous situation.
One day after filing his saddlebags and
pockets with various pieces Of rock, the
professor found that ne had wandered
far from his party. In his search for
them he saw some men on horseback, and
supposing that they were his friends he
rode toward them, when to his horror
he discovered that they were Indians.
They proceeded at once to make an in
spection of his possessions. He had moth
ing with which to defend himself, his out
fit being a pocket knife, chisel and watch.
These they took, and then began to go
through his pockets, and saddlebags,
which, of course, they found filed with
the geological specimens.
Again and again they did this, until
they had reckoned up the entire stock
of the professor As the pile Of stones
on the ground became higher and higher
the astonishment of the Indians grew.
Finally they opened the scientists tin
box, only to find therein numerous IN
sects. They closed it promptly and re-
turned it to the professor, at the same
time glancing significantly at one another
and tapping their foreheads to indicate
that the man was indeed crazy.
Then they not only assisted the pro-
fessor to mount, in order that he might
go on his way unmolested, but they even
replaced his specimens in his bags and
pockets and sent him away rejoicing.
