Trees With Curious Limbs.

Some trees were a dense mass of red
alone. some Of green and gold. some of
golden green whose leaves showed as
silver when turned by the gentle
breeze. There were bare and leafless
gray trees. too, with curiously curved
and twisted limbs. enhancing the pic
turesque as they mingled with their
fellows which still gloried in a rich
abundance of wildly tinted foliage: or
on the hill summit as they lowered
above their leaf-clad brethren, their
slende. topmost branches pointing like
singers heavenward: or where they
dropped their naked limbs over the
stream. In seeming effort to reach it
or where groups of them formed a
foreground like gray mist against
the thick masses of red trees and green
upon the ascending slopes.
On the leveler spaces pine trees and
shrubs ana grass gave touches of deep
green to the general wealth of color
Winding paths appeared and disappear

figures welded pigmy rackets Through
all and over all shone the beams of
the declining sun. touching grass and
tree and stream with a beauty and
delicacy Of color that the brush of no
artist could simulate.

 There Is much enthusiasm manifest in the sections to be benefited where the plan has been earned and many oilers of financial and other assistance have been forthcoming. 1t Is planned to make the company purely local one selling the stock and keeping con- trol within the towns interested and from present indications 1t appears that every dollar necessary will be pledged and that no bonding will be necessary.
 Engineers who have been consulted roughly estimate the cost of building and equipping at S250 900.

 will be kept al home as well as saVing the margin of profit made by the con tractor It is not necessary to grade as much for this type of equipment ai for steam road as the cars have Slow speodH for climbing grades and they can negotiate considerable grade witt ease.

Mad at Paint

Poe a gallon for paint Is about S2.a0 on the average job, and lots Of men waited last year for that; but they didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn't | pay 1t.
 There are times to get mad and re- fuse to pay; but when one's property needs protecting Is no time to get mad and not paint.
 Besides, it costs more to get mad and wait than 10 paint.
 Getting mad doesn't do any good to your property; paint does 1t good by keeping out water; no water no rot; no paint, some water and rot, and a little rot Is more than enough to make a man liberal towards his painter and paint.
 Paint costs not cent. All the paint in the world, so long as 1t keeps out water, costs not cent
