TO CUT NOTED TREES

saving little Loretta Bains from sure
death under the wheels Of shifting
engine at the r. d. Wood iron foun-
dries, where he is employed. Horner
was riding on the footboard at the
front OF the engine when he saw the
child Just ahead on the tracks appar-
emily rooted to the spot in her terror.
By a powerful dash he outdistanced
the engine, and reaching the frighten-
ed child tossed her from the track. At
the same instant his feet slipped and
he tumbled head first between the
rails. Unable even with the emer-
gency brakes to instantly stop the
heavy train, the engineer saw Horner
rolled under the footboard, which in
a shifting engine replaces the cow
catcher, and as he brought the train
to standstill, dropped in terror from
the cab, expecting to find the young
hero mangled beneath the wheels.
Horner was far from dead, however.
BY deft movement, as the locomo.
tive rolled him over and over, he had
managed to grab the running board
and with his body dragged beneath
the trucks he held on as the engine
bumped him over the ties. When
they extricated him fellow workmen
found his legs badly lacerated and his
ankles sprained, but aside from these
injuries, which Horner mourns be
cause they will keep him from the
baseball diamond for several weeks

If mothers notice that the brains Of
very susceptible organization and the
sights and thoughts from the shadows
of a room more or less dark, let the
light burn brightly. To force child
to become accustomed to the darkness
is a grave error, if its nervous system
is 80 organized that this forcing is
productive of fright.

very susceptible organization ond the
deleterious impressions made upon II

Sycamores Planted by Hamilton
Must Be Removed.
At This Place the Great FederalIst's
Seconds Met to Make Plans for
XII His Fatal Duel With
Aaron Burr.

New York.-The announcement that
the three tall sycamore trees which
stand in a vacant lot at West One
Hundred and Fortieth street and Ham
llton place, Manhattan, were about to
be cut down to make room for pub
lie school, which is to be erected on
ths lot, has aroused much interest
among New Workers, especially those
who are familiar with the historic as
sociations which these trees OF the
forest recall.
4, 1t Is stated on good authority that
It was under these trees that the sec
onds for Alexander Hamilton met be-
fore the fatal duel which resulted in
the death of Hamilton on July IL,
1904. Whether they are the actual
trees under which the seconds met
before the fatal encounter occurred,
they have a historic value from the
fact that they are on territory which
was intimately associated with the
great statesman, lawyer and soldier.
An interesting fact connected with
the house when 1t stood on the other
side of the street Is that Hamilton
planted Is trees around this house,
which were intended to represent the
10 original states of the American
Union. These trees were of the sweet
gum variety and were brought by
Hamilton, when they were nothing
more than whips, from Mount Vernon,
the estate of President Washington.
These trees lived until long after the
house was moved, and some of them
were alive when, IN November, 1911,
the lots where they stood were taken
as the site for a row of apartment
houses.
The ground along Convent avenue
had been restricted for 25 years
When these restrictions expired the
trees planted by Hamilton himself
quickly disappeared. The removal
of these trees rendered those at One
Hundred and Fortieth street ant
Hamilton place all the more precious
in the eyes OF antiquarians and patri
otto citizens, who treasure every re
hinder of Hamilton.
The ground slopes sharply from the
point where the old trees are standing
to the shores of the Hudson. The real
porch of Hamilton's house must havt
commanded a beautiful view of tn
Weehawken shore, much wilder in ap
pearance than now. 1t was early Il
July that the challenge from Burr wa
received, and 1t was the morning o
the 18th Of that month that the al
rangements were completed and Ham
ilton and his seconds took barg
and were rowed across the Hudson L
