Bio Trees Practically Immortal.

Curious information on the habits
of the big trees of California Is CIV
en- in one of John Muir's books. Those
big trees, he says, seem to be immor-
tai unless they are destroyed by acct

the existence OF any tree. Death is
due to accident, not, as that Of ami
mails, to the wearing out Of organs.
Only the leaves die of old age. Their
fall is foretold in their structure; but
the leaves are removed every year,
and so also are the essential organs

SENATOR GOFF
NOT TO RESIGN
As He Likes the Duties Of the
Position and Another Fake
Story'is Exploded.
fspreiAl 70 rnE IEtEoRAri

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IL
There are so many West Virginia Re-
publicans OF prominence in leader
ship, self-appointed and otherwise,
who dream of being u member Of the
United States Senate some day or
some year yet to come, that they have
arrived at the stage where they are
making two togas bloom by 1916
whereas there will be only one. Which
Is to say, as is already known OF
newspaper readers, that these over
jealous gentlemen have figured II out
for themselves that Senator Con is
tired of his job and is going to resign
just as soon as primary election
law is passed by the West Virginia
legislature, which will contain a
clause permitting the governor to APP
point his successor to serve until the
general election following.
As to all OF which there is nothing
to it. Senator Goff has no intention
of resigning and throwing his party
into another squabble from which his
unanimous election rescued it. He is
very we'll satisfied with his position
as senator, takes an interest in 1t,
enjoys it, and there are no reasons
of health to prompt him TO such an
action. He is feeling fine and fit, and
does not take enough interest in the
winter sports of the politicians now
going on concerning who shall or
shall not be his successor, to dignity
the unfounded rumors and report with,
4 conyential and official comment.
No doubt Senator Goff takes the
view that nobody except few ambit-
ious politicians are concerned in the
matter, and that the public, so far as
his own party Is concerned, is about
as well satisfied with conditions Es
they are as they would be to have
them changed. Senator Goff has no
idea of resigning and all the insinua-,
lions to the contrary put forth by
press agents and political dope ex-
perts are not worth the ink and good
white paper that is wasted.
Senator Con- occupies a high place
In the Senate. He is classed with the
statesmen OF that body-a group that
is not a large one by any means at
this time. He is a national figure,
not a log-rolling. pork" grabbing.
patronage-chasing member He, Is
high above those things OF the petty
politician, and being SO is regarded
by the people Of the state, whether
by the sInall-fry politicians or not, as
q credit and an honor to them. He
regards his commission as coming
from them. and in the nature Of a
contract with them and not with any
politicians. Senator Goff has no in
tention at this time of surrendering It.
