freedom, the United States interfered in their behalf, and the Emperor Ma poleon was ordered to withdraw his troops. Here again Carlotta was dom- inant. She would go herself to France and intercede with Napoleon.
 What could be more pathetic than the spectacle of the girl empress pleading with the emperor of France and the Pope of Rome for the means and soldiers to save from ruin the empire of her husband, at time when Maximilian had been already many weeks dead? Carlotta's ambi- tion and pride were crushed. her heart broken. Young, beautiful. lov- ing, on the very threshold of youth and hope, she was seized and torn from the world by the relentless hand of unreason.
 For nearly fifty years she has been banished to oblivion. Those who re- call her to mind as a proud and i'm 'perious beauty, would fail to recog- nize her in her later years, all bent and broken, her snow-white hair fram. ing face waxy white and deeply fur rowed with lines of pain and grief.
 Her brother, the late King Leopold of Belgium, placed her in the old roy al castle of Bouchout, few hours drive from Brussels. Here she has remained these many years, doubt less as ignorant of the history-mak- ing events of the past two months as she is of the execution of her hus- band, the downfall and death of his early protector, Napoleon III. and the many other events that have passed into history in the half century.-Ex.

ONE OF HISTORIES TRAGEDIES.

Where is poor Empress Carlotta? Not a word about the insane empress has come out of Belgium, where for many years she has been kept in close confinement near Brussels. A story from Belgium was to the effect that the German armies were given special orders, at the request of the Emperor of Austria, not to molest her. The emperor is brother-in-law of Carlotta, the Emperor Maximilian having been the youngest brother of Emperor Francis Joseph.
 The tragedy of her life is so inter- woven with one of the most thrilling chapters of new world history that it will bear a repetition at the pres ent time, when it is believed to be a matter of only a short time, per haps of days, until her earthly mis- cries are relieved by death. Born a princess, and educated to wear a crown, Carlotta has passed forty-eight of her seventy-three years within the walls of an asylum for the insane. Married at seventeen, queen at twen- ty-four and a lunatic at twenty-six, she was bereft of father, husband, en- pire and reason in eighteen months.
 Although Carlotta was more poten- tial in Mexican history during her short reign in that country than was her imperial husband himself, the rec ords ignore her efforts, belittle her achievements and refer to her endow- ments of executive ability, political sagacity, mental culture and strong character in the most impersonal and incidental manner. Yet it was her regal training, her dominant spirit, her constant insistence, which pre- vailed over the weak, vacillating, cas- fly influenced and effeminate Emperor Maximilian.
 Carlotta was twenty-four, Maximil- ian thirty-two, when their eyes be- held for the first time the land across the water where they hoped to re- generate a nation. Their entry into the City of Mexico was a triumphal one. The splendors of their court were unprecedented, for Carlotta knew well how to be an empress. But the Mexicans fought bravely for their

He then took the newspaper proffered by the convict, and read calmly to the end the story of the governors decision
 His last hope vanished, Tillman, who was convicted of murdering Amanda Stevens near Delaware, Logan county, on March 10, 1913, asked that the prison authorities allow him to spend Sunday alone, away from the curious eyes of the many who would visit the pententiary during the afternoon, drawn there by the news of the gov ernor's decision. His request was granted, and he spent the entire day alone in the hospital ward. No one was permitted to see him Visitors, prisoners, newspaper men-all met with the same answer-that Tillman had asked to stay by himself, and that his wish would be respected. Not even the members of his family visit ed him during the day.
 He is bearing his fate bravely,' said Warden R. J. Hodges yesterday afternoon. "The first news that the governor had refused to commute his sentence was told him by one of the convicts this morning. He received the news as though he had been told of an ordinary incident"

two or three sides Of the BUILDINGS.
The grove should not be placed so
near that SHOWS will pile up against
the buildings or in the yard, should
they drift over the trees. The width
OF the strip should be gagged by the
number Of the rows of the trees, but
1t should be wide rather than narrow.
1t should be deeply broken and when
the ground is quite moist. If the sub
soller a be made to follow the pillow
the conditions will so far be improv-
ed. A dust mulch must then be kent
on the land throughout the season.
: The following spring the trees
should be planted, and as soon as the
ground is dry enough to be stirred
without injury to the same. Open up
a furrow, plant in the same willow
cuttings about a foot long of the white
or gray variety. Put these in say
three feet apart. Slant them a little
in one direction along the line of the
furroW. Then fill in the earth around
them and firm it, but leave about
three inches Of the cutting above the
surface. The first row should be five
or six feet from the outside of the
broken ground. If a second row is
planted it should be twelve to twenty
four feet distant from the first row,
or If some other kind of tree forms
the second row, it should be equally
distant, as snow will pile in there.
The trees should be of some quick
growing kind, as cottonwood or Norway
poplar, and they should be planted
about twelve feet distant in the line
OF the row. Between each two of these
should be in the line of the same row,
some slower growing tree as the
green ash. Next row may be about
ten or twelve feet distant, and the
trees in it may be the same. Usually
three or four rows will suffice. The
soft, quick growing trees will force
the slower growing to push upward
and in due time the quick growing va
rieties may be cut out. All the trees
should be planted when they are
quite small, and the roots should be
shielded from exposure to the air.
The ground should be cultivated
like a corn field for several years. All
weeds and grass must be kept out.
Either will rob the trees of moisture.
If asked how long should the cultiva-
ton be kept up, the answer is until
the trees are large enough to form a
mulch of leaves. The cultivation
should usually be shallow, but if a
crust should form three or four inches
below the surface, it should be bro
ken. The aim should also be % Sc

FHE care called for in making a
success Of growing trees in dry
areas is in a way proportionate
to the dryness of the climate. 1t is
also Influenced by the character of the
soil and subsoil. This paper will deal
with conditions where the land is not
underlaid with hardpan coming up
near to the surface. Where the rain
fall is short and where hardpan comes
near the surface, it is very difficult to
grow trees in the absence of irrigat-
ing waters. But fortunately these
conditions are not very prevalent in
really dry area
On the dry prairies of the West it
1t greatly important that trees Shall
be grown. These treeless areas are
more or less wind swept. In the win
ter h absence of a protecting grove
in such areas adds greatly to the dis
comfort of the inmates of the home
and also to the discomfort of the live
stock. While in areas that are very
dry it is not to be expected that trees
can be grown in large numbers and
with marked success in providing
lumber, they may be made in time
to furnish posts and poles and also
some tirewood. The greatest end,
however, by far to be served by them
is to furnish protection against the
winds. 70 furnish such protection
should be n of the very first con-
s%iderations of those who locate on the
treeless prairie. 1t is in a way in
comprehensive that so many allow
long years to pass without taking any
steps to protect the home in this way.
Many who plant trees in the dry
country fail. They fail through the
adoption of wrong methods. The
plan is common to dig a hole in the
prairie sod where a tree is to be
planted. This means that the soil
around that tree cannot be cultivated
unless the cultivation is done by
hand. This is too expensive and it is
liable to b, neglected. Trees can be
grown on the prairie and bench lands
where the annual rainfall exceeds
twelve inches, but the work if it is to
succeed must be done in a certain way.
When trees are to be planted in
such areas, the ranchman should pre-
pare the land the year before he
plants. He should do so to allow the
moisture to go down into the soil. The
roots of a tree cannot go down into
the soil in advance of moisture. He
should 60 SO to put the land in shape
for future cultivation on the surface
after the trees have been planted, and
he should do so to make success more
sure after the planting.

MORE THAN LOO
FORD CARS A DAY
April Breaks All Previous Records
of Output at Ford Car Factory
at Highland Park.

Detroit, Mich, April IS, 1oI4.-Going
up. Production figures at the Ford fac
tory at Highland Park, Mich are shat
tering all records. Eleven hundred and
o cars a day for rs consecutive work
ing days was the record in March. When
the last car had passed out the factory's
doors on March 3Ist, there had been
2S,712 Fords built and shipped during
this month of 81 days of which five were
Sundays. Those who have been follow
ing motor car production have become
accustomed to think of the Highland
Park factory as the place where more
than one thousand complete automobiles
were turned out every day. These will
now have to accustom themselves to the
newslogan of "more than eleven hundred
Fords a day" When these figures are
being digested it should be kept in mind
that every car as soon as built is shipped
to a waiting Ford agent. There is no
storage room at the factory for there isn't
any needed. The Ford factory, big as it
is, has its hands more than full to supply
the demand. The fact is, that despite the
unprecedented production during March,
the close of the month saw the factory
still many thousands of cars behind the
sales department. An idea of the de-
mand for Fords may be obtained when it
is stated that on a single day early in
April the factory received orders for more
than 1900 cars.
Those familiar with the Ford business
are predicting that the demand for Fords
this year as i'll years past, will greatly
exceed the supply. They are urging
those who contemplate purchasing to do
SO early and thus insure themselves OF
having a car during the summer months
when the demand is heaviest. And there
will be no let up during April; all indica-
tons point to this being even a larger
month i'll the way of production than
was March.
