The Tree Butcher Now Appears.

From the Louisville Courier Journal,
At this time of the year the tree
butcher appears upon the scene. AS
rule he is paid by the day. The
more he whacks out of the shade tree
the more money he makes, and he is
a practical person whose artistic tenn
permanent does not interfere with his
making a living. He is capable, in a
physical and moral sense, of destroy
ing in 100 minutes the growth of 100
years. In many instances he knows
no more about how trees should be
trimmed than a pig knows about ge-
ometry. 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, unmutilated trees are
worth in the way of added value when
real estate is to be sold.
Oftener than not IL is better to let
the shade trees alone. If for any rea-
son any cutting of branches Is advisa-
BILE, 1t is well to get an expert to do
the work. AS experts are rare, and
proclaimed experts numerous and inn
Fortunate, it is very we'll to sit near
by and look on when any cutting is
done BY hating the vaRdal and
sparing a branch you may save more
than the worth of your time.
When the fever for Encouragement
strikes you, it is all right to swap the
furniture about, putting the secretaire
where the sofa was during the winter,
and reversing the order Of the grand
father clock and the what-not, for
there is nothing final in such arrange
ments. But when the trees are mu-
tilated the damage is done, and moth
ing can be done to repair 1t.

turbances in Navarro Margaret exer-
cised a great influence. Although a
devout Catholic herself, she felt
the greatest tolerence toward the
Professionals, and through her inter-
cession with her husband secured
their freedom from many of the
penalties they might otherwise have
had to pay. Toward Calvin himself
she showed the greatest clemency and
befriended him, in spite of his theo-
logical views, which she did not
share. Margaret did much for Ma
varre when she came there as queen.
She introduced an interest in learn
ing and culture into the courtly So
ciety and improved conditions OF
agriculture and commerce among her
husbands subjects She also encour-
aged arts and literature, and did
much to further justice. It is said
that the gentlemen in waiting In the
court of Queen Margaret were not
chosen because of their learning and
intellectual qualities. The result OF
this selection was that in the rooms
of Queen Margaret there was never
heard small talk, gossip and scandal,
but, rather, the most learned CONVEX
sation. SO that. as a contemporary
wrote, Margaret ruled in a veritable
Parnassus, rather than a royal court.

While narp Slept

While Mary slept she dreamed strange new dream
20 what this beyond the tide of years2
1t was hill against storm-swept sky;
1t cross, higher than Love is high.
70 in the night how swiftly fell her tearsD
While Mary slept the Chrst-child held her hand
(And as she dreamed she trembled in affright)
She felt the nails that bound Him to the tree;
She felt the blood and His hearts agony.
20 it was dark-the day had turned to night)
But Mary woke; all her great fear was dead.
20 close beside her lay her little OneD
She kissed His hands, she kissed His tiny feet;
20 Thou" she said, most wonderful and sweet

THE LESSON OF EASTER
BY Ivy g. RICHARD.

In either view Its lesson is thee
same.
Man does not live by bread alone,
Life Is more than what we see or
touch Behind the material is the
great realm of the spiritual. We do
not know what electricity is, but
we know what 1t can do when we
harness it to our needs. Though as
to the nature of the spirit within usa
we can only guess, its power is.
evident in conduct. 1t is like a great
storage battery, inert while discon-a
nected, but mighty when geared up
Have you fallen into stolid or sor-s
did ways? Has the good In you beeni
choked by the Drawn and fat of the.
beast? Do you feel Shiny and foul,
as the unwashed earth upon which
lies deposited a winters accumula-
tion of SCOT?
Then take as personal the lesson OF
Easter.
Burst your earthly cerements and
give your spirit room.

the majority as a tool of the Liquor
interest" and creature of the
money kings" That his wild and
demagogio charges were Ineffective
Is gratifying vindication OF the good
sense of the majority of the Alabama
electorate. Hobson is tedious,
canting humbug. That such a man
should get such vote shows how
strong in Alabama is the prohibition
movement, whose patter Hobson
utters so unctuously.
Transplanting Mr. Underwood TO

Decide Problem of who Shot Fox by
shape of Bullet.


shape of Bullet.
PORTLAND, Me, April 1.-THE
ancient query regarding the identity
of the assassin who allowed the sun
to pour through Cock Robin is a par
ellel of a remarkable shooting argu-
ment which terminated In the court
here yesterday when Edmund Phil
lips, of Redfield, obtained Judgment
of $475 against DIR. o. B. James, Of
New York city. The controversy re-
suited from the shooting of q black
fox in 1910, the fox having been found
dead a few moments after both con-
testants had fired at him, each una
ware of the others presence.
1t was shown in the testimony that
after a warm argument at the side
of the fox DR.. James decided unani-
mously that he was the successful
marksman. He skinned the animal
before Mr.. Phillips's resentful eyes,
and, it was shown, subsequently sold
the pelt for $500.
The bullet found in the fox's body
was produced in court, and 1t was
shown that it was similar to the hull
let's used by Mr.. Phillips and not at
all like the ones used by DR.. James.
Then the jury ended the incident to
the satisfaction of Mr.. Phillips.

George S. Clapp, Long a
Prominent Resident of
Newark, Dies in New York

George S. Clapp, long a prominent
citizen of this city and an elder in
the South Park Presbyterian Church,
died last night in his home, 2 West
Ninety-fourth street, New York city.
The funeral services will be held
there tomorrow night at eight o'clock,
by the Rev. DIR. Lyman Whitney
Allen, pastor of the local church. For
that reason, DR. Allen will not be able
to conduct the regular weekly prayer
service. Arthur r. Denim, an elder
of the church will take his place. The
subject of the meeting will be 1.-THE
Meaning of Lent"
Mr. Clapp has not lived in New
ark for some years, but has main
tanned his membership in the South
Park Church. He formerly lived in
Clinton avenue, near High street.
About nine years ago, while descend
ing from a trolley car near his home,
he fell and fractured his knee cap.
This caused him a great deal of
trouble and made 1T impossible for
him to go back and forth between
Newark and New York. He then
made his residence in the borough of
Manhattan.
Mr.. Clapp was a member OF the tea
importing firm of Carter, Macy & Co,
one of the largest concerns of its
kind in this country. He leaves
widow, daughter and two sons.
