Oak Trees.

To extend the life of one really fine
old oak tree who would not willingly
cut down whole groups of other trees?
How infinitely greater is the incentive
when one considers a group of titan
oaks. lofty, wide spreading. ruggedly
picturesque, with vigor unimpaired
and grandeur increasing for centuries.
Nursery grown oaks frequently trans
planted and properly pruned are not
difficult to establish. Their rapidity
of growth is really on an average with
that Of most other trees They should
be pruned severely before planting

Wasted Sympathy.

A kindly old lady who attended a
performance at the Haymarket thea
ter In London was much impressed by
the singing of "a nightingale and lark,
which forms an interesting feature of
the performance. In fact she was so
much impressed that she sent an agent
of the Society For the Protection OF
Animals to see if the birds were prop
erly fed and cared for. He found that
both nightingale and lark were purely
mechanical, in appearance only a small
wooden box and key to wind the ma
chinery.

DEATH OF GOV. SMITHS MOTHER

Governor Hoke Smiths mother
died at his residence on West Peach
tree street in Atlanta, last Wednes-
day. She was in her seventy-seventh
year.
The Governors father, DR..
Hildreth H. Smith, died about two
years ago. He was noted edu-
Gator. His wife was sister of
General r. F. Hoke, of Raleigh, N.
C. They made a truly remarkable
couple, both being of unusual size
and far above the ordinary in intel
lectual strength. Those who have
seen Governor Smith can form some
idea of what his father and mother
were, for he inherited from them in
full measure the physical powers
and other qualities that have made
him such force in public affairs.
Governor Smiths devotion to his
father and mother was always
marked characteristic. Throughout
all the fierce battles of his life, in
the struggles of business and of
politics, he was never so absorbed or
so busy as to forget them, or to
neglect those little attentions that
mean so much, and his manner
toward them was always gentle,
tender and respectful in the fullest
measure. In their old age he threw
about them the shelter of his
strength as became a true son, and
as the evening shadows fell they
must have found great comfort not
only in his success but in the fact
that with the acquisition of wealth,
the honors of office and the power of
position he never outgrew his place
as their boy.
We throw out this suggestion for
the benefit of the young readers of
the Journal and Courier. Surely
the example of the Governor is
worthy to be followed. There is
nothing more beautiful, nothing
that is a surer mark of refinement
and good blood than an unvarying
observance of the Commandment of
Promise-"honor thy father and thy
mother"

BARS OUT RUSSIAN GEESE
Germany's Blow to a Great Tradt
Seriously Felt on Both Sides
Of Border.

Announcement has been made thai
the German authorities have suspend
ed the importation OF live geese from
Russia on the ground that there is
considerable amount of disease preva
lent in the frontier districts of th9
country.
Coming, as this prohibition does, I'm
mediately prior to the period when i'm
ports Of live geese increase rapidly
the question is serious alike to breed
ers in Russia, who will have larG
quantities of birds thrown on theE
hands; to German goose tatteners, al
they will be unable to flll up thei'
pens. for the home production is total
ly insufficient to meet their require
ments, and to housewives in Germany
who will find the already high price
OF what is an important article O
food advance still further and prob
ably be prohibitive. Russians STATE
that there is no justification for thil
regulation, that it is trade move
in the interests Of German dealers tc
force down prices and as a measure
of fiscal protection to German breed
ers.
Germany imports annually about
100000 live geese, Of which seven
Fights come from Russia, where these
birds are bred In vast numbers
throughout the western and southwest
ern governments. They are bought
from the raisers by travelling dealers
who drive them IN huge flocks to the
frontier stations, where they are en-
trained for despatch to Berlin and 9th
er cities.
The cars used for this purpose arc
built In four decks. each car holding
about 1900 birds. Special trains are
run in the season. consisting OF 6
dozen to thirty.five cars. in accord
ance with the supply AS many al

CAT THAT GOES JOY RIDING
Gray Tsbby on New York Farm Uses
Big Leghorn Rooster for
Her Mount.

A cat is supposed to be ayerse to
any locomotion other than that af-
torded by her own soft feet, but a
gray tabby on farm near Syracuse,
n. Y, has commandeered big Leg
horn rooster on which to go joy rid
ing. No one has taught the cat the
trick, and she never tries to mount
the back of any other fowl in the
barnyard but the Leghorn. When
puss feels like taking ride around
the premises she waits until the Leg.
horn passes, and leaps on his back,
sitting there almost upright like a
human equestrian, hind feet hanging
down each side of his wings and
front paws firmly clasping the neck
of the unhappy bird. At first the
rooster was terrified and tried to run
away with his strange burden, but
the faster he ran the more the cling
ing cat seemed to enjoy it, and Chan
ticleer is now resigned to bear his
tormentor around the yard until she
Is tired and slips off his back. He
has to keep going, whether he wants
to or not, ss the cat promptly rakes
him across the comb if he stands
still. The only way the Leghorn can
avoid the cat is by remaining on his
perch in the henhouse, and some
times he will stay there all day, re-
fusing to come down even for his
corn.
