Rising Sun at Oxford.
Elkton's loyal rootcrs were much
encouraged last Saturday by the
snappy, aggressive game the home
boys put up against Oxford, Oxford
played somewhat ragged game, but
that seemed due largely to the fact
that Elkton was carrying them pretty
fast. The home team did not make a
fielding error.

hard, the Elkton boys securing ten
hits in four innings off his delivery.
Kirk, who succeeded him did not fare
any better and only lasted three in

The Tree Butcher Appears

From the Louisville CoMier-JoW-
nal.
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 artis-
tic temperament does not interfere
with his making a living. He is
capable, in a physical and moral
sense, Of destroying 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 geometry. The
mutilated trees he leaves bleeding
in his wake silently attest his van
dalism.
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, there
fore, unmutilated trees are worth
in the fay ow added value when
in the way of added value when
Oftener than not it is better to let
the shade trees alone. If for any
reason any cutting of branches is
advisable, it is well to get an ex-
pert to do the work. AS experts
are rare, and proclaimed experts
numerous and importunate, it is
very well to sit near by and look on
when any cutting is done. By hal
ing the vandal and sparing
branch you may save more than
the worth of your time.
When the fever for rearrange-
ment strikes you, it is alright to
swap the furniture about, putting
the secretaire where the sofa was
during the winter and reversing
the order of the grandfather clock
and what-nots, for there is nothing
final in such arrangements. But
when the trees are mutilated the
damage is done, and nothing can be
done to repair it.
