At this time of the year the tree
butcher appears upon the scene. AS a
rule he is paid 10y the day The more
he whacks out Of the shade tree the
more money he makes, and he is a
practical person whose artistic temper
ament does not interfere with his max
ing living. He is capabe, in physi-
cal and moral sense, Of destroying in
100 minutes the growth Of, 90 years.
In many instances he knows no more
about how trees should be trimmed, or
whether they should be trimmed, than
pig knows about geometry. The
mutilated trees he leaves bleeding in
his wake silently attest his vandalism.
Persons who have shade trees should
pause TO think about how slowly limbs
and trunks grow, and how quickly
they may be destroyed, and how short
human life is, and how hard it is TO
acquire good shade trees, and how
much, therefore, unmultiated trees are
worth in the way Of added value when

Oftener than not IL is better To let
the shade trees alone. II for any rea-
son any cutting Of breaches is advis.

Fortunate, it is very well TO sit nearby
and look on when any cutting is done.
BY hating the yandal and sparng a

worth of your time,
When the fever for Encouragement
strikes you it is all right to swap the
furniture about, putting the secretaire

The vote in the House for the repeal

victory for American honor and Demo
cratic principle. 1t is notice served 10y

ment that this Republic does not petit
fog or bubble in the Interpretation OF
its international obligations, and that
it has not forsaken its time-cherished
policy of the equality of the seas; "hiIe
it is a reassertion, 10y those in position
TO speak for the Democratic party OF
that party's lifelong opposition to sub
sidy. II is a vindication ofour national
integrity and courage, and a vindica-
ton of historic political Party's lidel-
ity To a fundamental tenet OF its creed
which ia these later times has been
persstent,y assailed by such sophlstry
and such materialistic temptations.
1t was vindication in each instance
all the more significant because it was
given in the crashing teeth OF an OPP
position which fought With an unscrup-
ulous desperation that marks the sell
fish interests whenever they attempt
to mask their designs of greed behind
professions of economies and patriot
ism. Honor to the stalwart Americans

Honor TO the Democrats who, despite

Hello, fellows; lucky you happened
along. Pm dead broke and want cab.
Get one and take me to my hotel and
I'll make good
When they reached the hotel the
drunken boss sleepily. asked the clerk
to give each of his companions a five
dollar BILL, At the same tinc he drew
from his trousers pocket q huge roll
of bills and throwing 1t at the clerk
told him to keep that wad of stuff in
safe place until morning"
Dsgustedly the heelers watched the
safe door close on the young fortune
that had escaped them, while the boss
sank into chair.
"Oh, you thief" angrily shouted one
Of the heelers, as he shook his fist
under the nose of the boss. That's
the meanest double cross you ever
gave friend in your whole crooked
