In prairie schooner which has cross
ed the plains several times.
Meeker crossed the plains to Oregon
sixty years ago. For sixty years he
was a farmer near Walla Walla. Then
In January, 1906, he decided that the
old Lewis and Clark trail should be
marked for posterity. And as reso-
lutely as he set out across the plains
In 1851, he set about creating a senti-
ment in favor of having the old trail
marked.
The pioneer. with flowing white
hair and beard, has driven his oxen,
Dave and Duke, from Portland to
Washington and back again and
again He has interviewed former
President Roosevelt. President Taft
and senators and congressman by the
score. He has appeared before his
torical societies in every large city
along the weary way from the Poto-
mac to the Columbia.
He has succeeded in procuring an
appropriation of $4,000 by the ma
tonal government for the completion
of the work he has begun. HistoH-
cal societies promise more and the
next session OF the national congress
Is expected to make another liberal
appropriation. The trail is to be
marked.
And Ella Meeker, history-maker
and pioneer. may lie down to rest be-
side the way, beyond the backbone of
the Rockies he loves so we'll and
which looks down on the scene OF his
activities for so many years. His
oxen may lie beside him. together
with Bilge, his collie dog, which stands
guard at night during the long expedl
tions from Astoria to Washington.
This is the old mans prayer.

Ancient Needle Factory

The discovery of prehistoric
needle factory at prehistoric lake
village near Glastonbury, England,
aroused much interest recently. The
dwellings were placed on mounds OF
clay raised above the level of the wa.

loom was found under one mound. and
the number OF broken bone needles
and bone splinters discovered in an.

THE WEEPING MULBERRY

Probably the most popular droop.
Ing or as they are commonly called
weeping tree in the middle states is
the Teas weeping mulberry. This
variety OF the Russian mulberry was
originated by John c Teas OF Missouri
some years ago. II was sprout of the
more common form OF Russian null
berry which It resembles in every re-
Spect except that the branches droop
instead OF growing upright. Like the
original form, is grown readily from
cuttings. In the form in which IL is
commonly seen in our yards the weep
ing variety has been grated on the
upright variety at ABOUT the height
OF ones shoulder. This is necessary
because the instinct to droop is so
strong that when cuttings OF the weep
ing variety are planted the resultant
tree begins TO droop as soon as It gets
a few inches above the ground.
The Teas weeping mulberry does
particularly well II 1t is pruned back
quite severely each spring. This pre-
vents In a measure the formation of so
many dead branches as otherwise come
from the excessive crowding OF the

Championship Ten
mis- at Longwood.

Boston, July 19-There was enough
of championship lawn tennis today In
the Longwood singles to satisfy the
most ardent follower of the game.
Sensational matches in the singles did
not allow the interest to lapse for
moment The upsets began when G.
e. Touchard of New York. after hav-
ing been on the defensive for the ma
jor part of three sets in his match with
n. w. Niles of Boston, rallied and
pulled the match out of the fire in five
sets.
T r Pell of New York came within
an ace of defeating NJ E. Mclaughlin
of San Francisco and those who saw
the match believed that the indoor
champion would have eliminated his
opponent had he not played a hard
five-set match in the doubles previous
~.
There were no upsets in the Eastern
doubles championship. Clothier and
Larneds team work was a little bet
ter today than it was yesterday but
the game of Long and Gardner ap-
peared to be more finished and pre-
else. 1t is Thought that the latter will
probably meet Clothier and Larned in
the semi-tinals in the upper division
of the draw.
