A Story For ArbOr Day

copyright, 1915, by American Press Asso-
ciatiOn.]
~HERE wasn't much left Of the
old Hobbs farm-merely bit
~ of rolling land crowned by
derelict wing Of the farm
house and one solitary spruce tree
standing guard over Selma Hobbs and
the remnant Of her home.
But that lone tree was majestic in
its solitude. Tall and evergreen and
shapely, it rose to an immense height,
Its lateral branches sweeping in wild
ening circumference until they touch
ed the ground.
Selma Hobbs loved the spruce tree
as passi0nately as she loved the few
bits of old china that she had saved
from the ruthless hands of the collec-
tors of antiques.
OF all these things Selma loved the
spruce tree most-it was animate. It
had actually witnessed death and dis
aster and fire as each affection de-
scended upon the Hobbs family. Sell
ma was so poor that she seldom spent
money even for the simple village
pleasures. On such occasions people
laughed. not unkindly, and said that
"Selina Hobbs was to home looking at
her spruce tree"
1t was spring, and the tree was
bright with the flash of gay feathers
as robin and bluebird and oriole darted
to and fro. Selma was standing on the
doorstep when the Tree Man came.
He was not very young nor yet very
old, but he was very smiling and pleas
ant
II am from the Pettison nurseries,"
he explained. We've got an order for
some large spruces for the Goldman
estate on the point. I thought you'd
Ike to sell that one" He cast an ap-
praising eye ut Selina's tree.
"Sell my tree" gasped Selma, lean
! Ing against the door jamb. why, I
couldn't! It's like a-person!'
The pleasant eyes scanned Selma
narrowly. They saw little w1sp of a
woman, with faded light hair pinned
around her shapely head; pale, deli
cately nodded features lighted by deep
blue eyes. The blue cotton dress was
vastly becoming to Selma had she
known 1t, but she no longer studied
prettiness of attire.
It's too bad you feel that way about
It. could offer you two hundred and
fifty Tor it." said the Tree Man.

western counties are now paying more

to uphold this contention.
Land throughout the state is sup

which show that land in Cass county
is assessed at an average valuation
of $7,7SG per acre, while land in Trail

alton of STAB per acre. This would
indicate a value Of about $50 per acre
for land in these counties, while as a
matter of fact land there is said to.
sell for from $50 to 500 per acre.
In Williams county land is assessed
at an average Of 1891 per acre. This
would give a valuation of .approxi-
mately $500, which, while it is per-
haps a little low. is much nearer the
real value than the assessments in the

ty land is assessed at an average Of
$2.37 per acre, a value of about SS.25
per acre. This also is probably a lit.

Olongapo. Philippine Islands. and is
commanded by Commander John H.
Dayton.
The Brooklyn was the flagship of
Rear Admiral Schley at the battle OF
Santiago. in the Spanish American war,
and has been in far eastern waters be-
fore. When Capt. Albert s. Barker.
now a rear admiral on the retired list.
succeeded Admiral Dewey as COM
mander-in-chief Of the naval forces on
the Asiatic station. in May. 1899. the
Brooklyn was used as a flagship, and
was commanded by Capt. Theodore F.
Jewell. Later she became the flagship
Of Rear Admiral George c. Remey on
the same station and was then COM
manded by Capt. Chapman c. Todd.
Historic Craft Completely Remodeled
When the Brooklyn returned in 1902
she was attached to the North At
lantic station, and became the flag
ship of Rear Admiral Joseph B.
Coghlan and was still commanded by
Capt. Todd. She became the flagship of
Rear Admiral Charles D. Sigsbee in
1905. When the vessel returned from
Alexandria, Egypt. in the spring of
1906, she was placed out Of commission
at the Philadelphia yard. The Brook
lyn remained at that place until Janu-
airy 26, 1914. when she was again
placed in commission, after an idleness
of nine years.
The historic vessel had undergone a
number of important changes, and had
been completely remodeled. The Scotch
boilers were replaced with the water
tube type. her engines were overhauled.
and all the guns were remounted on
modern electrically controlled car
riages. Much of the woodwork of the
old cruiser was replaced by hreproof
material. and new ammunition hoists
were also installed.

ratified at the next general election
the vote in West Virginia will be al.
most doubled, provided an of the fair
sex who will be entitled to vote, cast

ence in the vote and the probable ef-
feet woman's suffrage will have in

OLIVER PIERCE

Oliver Peirce died at the home of
his son, F. D PIERCE. Monday, Jar.
uary IL, at the age of eighty seven
years. Funeral services were held
at the home Tuesday by Rev. VIM
j. Grey. The remains were taken
to Pine River, this state, for burial.
Oliver PIERCE was born at Fall
River, Mass, January 4, 1928.
When he was four years of age. his
father moved the little family to
Nina county, New York, and later
to Erie county, Penn. Oliver lived
there until he was twenty years of
age, receiving his education there
and helping his father on the farm,
in the store and in the coal bust
ness.
In the Spring of 1850 he came to
the then new state of Wisconsin,
crossing the Fox river at Strong S
Landing, the site of the present city
Of Berlin. From there he went six
teen miles north and settled on the
"Iniun Land" the home of the
Winnebago Indians There he help
ed found and build up the village
and community of Pine River. For
6fty-fve years he labored earnestly
and faithfully in the church, on the
farm and in the store, teaching and
experimenting schools, holding To-
cal Offices, and doing everything AN
ca rne ST, conscientious Christian
man could do to serve his God his
family and the community.
On November IL, 1858, he m arricd
Emeline Kimball. Four children
were born to them: Francis D !,
Mary K, VIM. e. and George. In
October, 1905, he moved to River
Falls with his son, F. D. Peirce,
leaving his father, his wife and the
three youngest children in the GENE
terry on the hill in his beloved vii
lage of Pine River.
Mr.. Peirce had a very friendly
lovabl disposition. He loved his
God. his fellow man, and all of ma
lures beauties. He was member Of
the Congreg ational church, both in
River Falls and at Pine River, and
we know that he has left many kind
and true friends in both localities.
