TREE THAT EXHIBITS ANGER
In Idaho a Species Quakes and EmIts
an Unpleasant Odor When
Disturbed.

In Idaho there exists q species of
the acacia tree which is entitled to be
classed as one of the wonders OF

eight feet. When full grown 1t closes

lent will become the shaking of the
branches. Finally, It IL further al
legged, II the shaking be continued, the
tree will at length emit q nauseating
odor quite sufficient to induce
headache in the case of the person
disturbing the tree.
In Idaho 1t Is called the angry
tree and 1t Is said that 1t was discov-
cred by men who, on making camp
for the night, placed one end Of a can

branches, using 1t for a support I'M

The Abolition of Landk0rdism in England

Chancellor David Lloyd George, the leader of the
Liberal party. has announced his intention to free
British land from landlordism. Press dispatches re.
port the following extracts from his speech at Bed
ford, England, on the 18th:
"Landlordism is the greatest monopoly in this land,
and the people are trusting in the government to put
iortl its strong right hand to lit them from the
mire. The authority of the sovereign is not compar-
able to that OF the landlord over his subjects. He
could make and maintain a wilderness, and he has
legal authority to do more than even Il foreign enemy
could impose on the country after a conquest. In
Ireland millions have been driven away from the
land by legal process. The percentage Of cultivated
land here is lower than in any other country Of
Europe. This state Of affairs is due to the fatuous
and, unbusinesslike methods of the landlords. The
agricultural labOrers of the British Isles receive lower
pay and work longer hours than any others. 1t is u
scandal that so per cent of the farm laborers of this
country are in receipt OF a scale Of living lower than
that of the poOrhOuse. The entire wages Of the farm
lsborers Of England and Wales amount to only $125,-
100000 a year. whereas the parson and the landlord
get slS5, 600 900 our of the land. Much as l loye the
parson, would pay the laborer first. 1t is no wonder
that scores Of thousands are fleeing across the seas
from such a land Of mean bondage. The country
must choose between the power of the land owners
and the prosperity of the laborers. 1t is no use
tinkering. All the conditions of the monopoly must
be recast and put in a fair business footing, before
considering the purchase of the land, which might i'll
volve an enormous endowment to the present owners,
and burden the community with a debt which it would
take u long time to l%iquidate. The game preserves
in the British Isles must be reduced by tWo-thlrds
and the best labor must be drawn to the land by g
real living wage. shorter hours, and comfortable
