Entomologists declare the hickory
to be in danger of determination.
There is, it seems, bark beetle which
is working widespread destruction.
The bark bettle should be sought out
and ruthlessly slain. The hickory is
an unaristocratic tree. 1t is gaunt,
but sturdy. 1t looks like Uncle Sam,
There is something essentially and
typically American about the hickory
It's shaggy homeliness is a delight.
The nut it bears is delight, too. The
tree is not like the spreading chest
nut" affluent in verdure and generous
in shade. 1t is, rather, spare and utili
tartan. And the hickory nut Is far
more admirable than the chestnut, and
far more American. 1t Is hard nut
to crack. But, after the shell has
once been removed, 1t Is found to be
very desirable. Then, too, there is the
hickory bark for building fires with.
In the winter, when a CHEEKY fire in
the woods is most worth striving for,
the cracking Of the hickory bark is
the cheoriest thing imaginable, and
its fragrance is beyond description de
lightful.

HIGH PRICES PAID FOR copy"
Manuscripts Written by Famous Az.
thors Sought by Collectors
Burns Note Sold for SS75.

There Is more value in the actual
written manuscript than the young
author who carefully sends his type
written efforts to the editor ever
dreams. OF course one must allow
something for fashion even in manu-.
script. For instance, the original
manuscript Of Besant's Herr Paulus''
realized only $40, Gissing's Ewes
Ransom" $55, while Edna LyalIs
Donovan" was judged worth $3.50.
These are but small figures compared
with the $235 paid for 2 ingle leaf of
one or Captain Cook log-books.
Even this paled before the immense
sensation afforded by the bidding for
another leaf-thls time from the lost
journal of Captain Cooks first voyage
in 1770. Collectors Of Australia
we're specially keen, as 1t contained
the earliest reference to Botany bay,
and ultimately this particular leaf
was secured for $2255.
Anything by Stevenson is Of great
interest to collectors, and 1t is not
surprising that for one page contain.
Ing the autograph list of title and
thirteen chapter headings for a
projected novel, The Adventures Of
Henry Shovel" with a scribbled memo
of some medicine the novelist wanted,
an enthusiast should have given $500
Robert Burns, Scotland's national
poet, wrote three and a half pages
