him at the church. He forgot to say
which one. As there were four
churches In our town I was mystified.
I went hrst to one, then to another.
Oh, even now I recall that day with
an awful shudder. At every church

bridal robes. My lover had courted
them all: his promises were like

made arrangements to marry each one

HOW NATURE PRuNEs.

Shade is Natures pruning knife.
Each tree wants to expose to the air
and light just as much leaf surface as
possible. Because of crowding only
the upward branches can deveIop
freely. The lower branches, because
OF shading. fail to perform their func-
ton, so Nature gets rid OF them. She
does this in the following manner:
When the lower limbs become shaded
many of them die. The trunk OF the
tree in time entirely frees itself of the
limb. When the branch dies the an
nual layer OF wood continues to be
formed around the limb. This ulti.
mately forms collar which so tightly
grips the dead limb that in time the
wind either breaks IL on or IL falls OF
its own weight After a while. IL all
goes well. the hole closes over, and no
exterior evidence OF the limb remains.
Orchardists and foresters aid Nature
in speedily healing the wound by cut.
ting on the limb Just as close to the
trunk as possible. The longer the
stub that u left the longer It win take
to heal, and the more chances there
will be for decay to get foothold. II
a stub is left it must die. for there are
no twigs with leaves on them TO pull
up the plant food

Trees furnish safe shelter and
natural resting places for birds. Birds
are the best allies we have in fighting
insects, but the removal of the forests

sect-eating birds. Trees furnish a
great variety OF miscellaneous. useful
products. such as fruits. nuts. sugar

and medicines.

trees touch the welfare Of every man,

On the day preceding this luncheon the food is
blessed by the priest AS the castle is usually the
center OF the community, the peasants or farmers
bring their food there. When the priest blesses
the castle luncheon he also bestows a blessing
upon the food of the servants and peasants In the

Easter Sunday visitors invited to partake Of the
cold dishes the Easter luncheon table, which is

Landowners receive gifts from the peasants on

TREES HAVE HUMAN TRAITS
They Possess Some Of the Same Char
aeteristics That Belong to
People.

Trees have the power of suggesting
thoughts and feelings. These thoughts
and feelings are attributes OF people.
In other words. trees are sometimes
thought of as being possessed OF some
of the same characteristics that belong
to people. The oak tree. because OF its
size and shape OF limbs, suggests
strength. The elm tree symbolizes
grace and beauty. The birch is some
times called the Lady of the Forest /"
Some trees are weeping. some gay.
some quiet and retiring. Some, such
as the sycamore. are ghostlike. Others.
like the honey locust. because of the
