A HANDY TREE,

n I'D YOU ever hear Of thread
- and-needle treef It must be rather
handy tree to have growing in
the back yard, especially when there
are boys in the house with buttons
coming off about every other minute.
This strange tree grows in nearly all
tropical countries, and in some places
nearer home where the climate is
warm. 1t gets its name by which we
know it from the curious formation Of
it's leaves. At the tip of each leaf
there is sharp thorn, which is the
needle. If you grasp it firmly and
pull it out, there you are with a
needle already threaded for your sew
ing. This fiber thread is very strong,
and the Mexicans use it for weaving
a coarse kind Of cloth, as well as for
sewing.
The leaves of the tree they use for
roofing their houses, instead of tiles,
and fine roof it makes them, strong
and water-proof-just the sort of a
roof they need when the rain comes
down in sheets.

a rich reddish brown color with seal
brown markings in the form of wavy
lines. 1t is heavier and more compact
than mahogany. 1t is one of the most
promising of the undeveloped woods Of
Mexico.
Gateado is one of the most peculiar
woods in Mexico. 1t looks somewhat
like rosewood, but is much heavier.
Its chief beauty, and it is one of the
most beautiful Of woods, consists in
the curiously marked variations of coll
ors which the grain of the wood pre-
sents. 1t is of a deep yellow color
heavily marked with seal brown and
light brown stripes Of an irregular
form and size. All the wood requires
to finish it is polish, for it has all the
natural colors that are produced in
most cases in the United States by
the use Of stains and Filings of diff.
ferent kinds.
Balsamo is another of the good
hardwoods of Mexico. It is light
brown color with a grain like rose
wood. 1t is Of solid color, makes
good furniture lumber and would be
excellent for hardwood house trim-
mings.

wood having the grain and density Of
ironwood. 1t is very heavy and Of
solid red color. 1t is capable of high
polish and would make excellent fur.

ing and its beautiful variegated grain
this wood makes fine lumber for trim
mings OF all kinds, including fancy
panels.
Campanillo is Of about tho same
grain and color as dark maple, but
slightly lighter. It is easily worked
and, like rabo de lagarto, makes fine
housetrimmings, wainscoting, etc.
| Palo blanco is Of about the grain
and density Of red pine. It ranges in
color from brownish white to q deep
cream color. On account of its beau
tiful wavy grain it makes fine furnL
ture and house trimmings.

II Sombrerete is another fine Mexican
hardwood. 1t looks like checked maple,
but it is slightly lighter in weight and
darker in color. The wood has brown
markings on light background. II

HOPE OF PEACE IN COLORADO

It will be entirely possible for both sides to find fault with President Wilson's proposed truce in the Colo rado mine war. Any compromise, any effort to find halfway meeting ground offers opportunity for criticism. But such fault-finding will be utterly aside the mark and will receive scant pa- tience from the country at large.
 The point Is that an intolerable con dition exists and the Presidents pro posal offers fair and reasonable basis for ending it. In substance, it seeks to preserve the status quo, en- forcing the laws of the State and pro viding for a commission of three to settle disputed points. The plan is the work of the Federal Consolidation Commission and will strike the inn partial observer as the obvious and only basis for fair compromise.
 The wishes of the country strongly support the President, and either min CTS or operators will blunder griev. ously if they attempt to defy public sentiment and the just demands for peace.-New York Tribune (Rep.) Sept. 9.

AMERICAN FARMERS
 ARE GETTING RICH

CHICAGO. Oct. 21.-Farmers of the United States will receive more money for their crops this year than ever before in the history of the country. Not only is the wheat crop by Tar the largest ever raised, but the re- turns that can be counted on safely for this crop will exceed the greatest expectations of few weeks ago.
 In virtually every important wheat raising section of the country the pro- ducer can now obtain $1 bushel for his wheat. Two months ago wheat prices were about forty cents lower than at present, and in many sec tlons farmers were not getting more than sixty cents bushel for their wheat.
 Considerable wheat was sold at low prices, but of the 9OO,OOO,OOO bushels raised this year 1t is not likely that more than 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels have been sold at this time from the farms.
 A forty-cent advance in the price of wheat means on 7OO,0OO,OOO bushels S2S0 .OOO, O,OOO, and from present indi- cations in regard to the expert de- mand a reduction of farm prices for wheat below the dollar level does not appear reasonable. In fact judging from the way Europe is buying both wheat and flour farmers may not be willing to sell freely at S1.
 Oats prices have been enhanced about 30 per cent. in the heaviest part of the crop movement. On the basis of present values for oats com pared to what they were at the be- ginning of harvest there has been an increase in the value of the crop of about $175,OOO,OOO. Corn is now the highest in years.

FAIRBANKS TO GIVE
 BUNNELL SUPPORT

FAIRBANKS, Oct. 5.-Charles E. Bunnell departed for Skagway by riv- CT boat last Wednesday and will spend much of the time between now and election in campaigning along the coast.
 Mir. Bunnell had intended to go from Fairbanks, to Nome, and to campaign in the Second Division, but he arriv- ed here after the last boats sailed down the river, and was thus pre- vented from getting to the Second Di- vision.
 Mir. Bunnell went away from Fair banks with the feeling that he will get a good vote here. He had eX- pected to find his chief opposition in the Fourth Division, the home of his opponent, but he was welcomed here in real sourdough style, and was giV- en assurance of general Democratic support here.-Fairbanks Citizen.

A BULLETIN FROM THE HOSPITAL

The patients temperature has be- come practically normal. He shows few signs of febrilo excitement.
 He has wholly recovered from the shock of the severe operation to which he was unwillingly, but unavoidably on his part, subjected to about Au. gust 1.
 He is taking all the nourishment he can get and showing an increasing ly interest in schemes for getting more.
 His mental condition has greatly improved. He no longer talks about putting up the shutters of his ware house or hanging crepe on his door knob.
 He is showing signs of impatience to get out and so to work again. He is, in fact out part of the day and working hard on some new enter prises.
 Translated into the language of the hospital bulletin, that Is the present condition of that distinguished patient American business, as shown by the fact that 27,136 more of his freight cars were at work on September It than on September l. His complete recovery, with some change in direc tion of activity, especially to the re zion in the south, may be confidently predicted.-Chicago Herald Qnd)

 It good pray for peace but it is better to for justice better pray for liberty better to pray for triumph right and for the victory of human freedom
 These the only issues which justify and when appeal made the sword these the only issues which justify peace.
 the battlefield of Gettysburg Abraham Lincoln made the nobst speech of the nineteenth century and the nobet sentiment of that speech compressed into these few words that from these honored dead we take increased de
 votion that for which they gave the last full
 measure of devotion; that here highly resolve that
 these shall have died in vain; that this Nation
 under God shall have a birth of freedom, and that
 government of the people, for the people and by the
 people shall not perish from the earth.
 Unless of this greatest of all shall birth of freedom the dead have died douby in van Pray for peace but pray peace that proudly bears the torch of h er for peace that hacd by brute force to the char lot wheels of military despoism

oLD.HoME WEEKS IN POLITICS.

To true Democrats the attractions of the White House under its pres, ent occupancy are very good. Most Democrats come and so as to the house of friend, but few, as a re- suit of Misunderstanding in many cases regretable, have stood at dis tance, doubtful of their reception, and yet wistful
 It does not matter how much Col. George Harvey happened to make a Sunday afternoon call upon the Presi- dent. The point is that after waiting nineteen months for reasons best known to himself, he appeared at the White House, and was made wei come. Conversations interrupted long ago were resumed, old associations were renewed. No doubt both of these distinguished Americans were glad to meet again. forgetting past difference es and hopeful by reunited efforts to be of public service.
 As this reunion chanced to take pluCe Ou tue uiy uONONSN OJ SAAS dcat to prayers for peace, 1t had sig nt!icance which wise observers were no. slow to interpret If Col Harvey could appear at a visit to the Execu' tive Mansion, why not also that oth' CT and more celebrated 0olonel--name' ly watterson, of Kentucky--who hap pened to fall outside the breastworks | in company with Col. Harvey? The [ fact that correspondence has been es tablished between Louisville and 3 Washington proves that differences between honorable men, as between honorable nations, may still be settled | by reason, truth and justice.
 1 If this spirit is to prevail among Democrats partly as result of lead ership which can no longer be ignored by any of them, why should we not expect to see Champ Clark at the White House and Roger Sullivan g self-respecting caller at the State De partment. There are old.home weeks in politics as well as in the country towns.-New York World.

 The President intlmated that he would not favor direct government aid, but would approve of a plan for Southern banks to raise a fund to fl. nance the cotton crop and would do all that was possible to encourage such means of assistance.
