PROTECTION FOR THE TREES
In Fastening Wire for Fence Il h
Best to Place Strip Of Board Be-
tween Tree and Wire.

It often happens in erecting wire
fencing that one or more valuable
shade trees are found to be In direct
line with the posts, thereby necessl.
tating fastening of the wire to the
tree. Ordinarily. II the tree is OF only
little value. the trunk is hewed slight.
ly and the wire is fastened directly
to the tree, but as this method OF fas.
tening Is very damaging to the tree.
it is seldom used where tho value Of
the tree Is considered.
Wire fastened directly 10 the tree
soon becomes overgrown with bark,
and this not only damages the tree.
but the wire coming in contact with
the acids OF the tree, Is also dam.
aged, This can be averted by using
a strip of lumber between the fence
and the tree. Nail a strip of lumber
about five inches wide to the tree
and fasten the fence to this. This
method of fastening does not iniure
tho tree or the wire. and when the
fence is removed the wire does not
have TO be cut at the tree, as when il
is fastened directly to the tree and
overgrown with bark.

THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN FATE.
cess, the mark no mortal wit

Success, the mark no mortal wit
or surest hand can always hit;
For. whatsoe'er we perpetrate,
Wc do but vow; we're steered by fate,
Which In success oft disinherits,
Tor spurious causes, noblest merits.
Who has not heard of Micawber,
that famous character in fiction, who
was always waiting for fate to turn
up some good luck for him, always
waiting.
There are more Micawbers in this
world than people imagine-supposed-
ly sensible men and women who de-
voutly believe if you are destined to
have good luck it will come to you
whether. you put forth any effort or
not. The years and disappointments
do not show them their errors of judg-
ment-they still continue to believe in
fate.
It Is comforting to have some kind
of hope to pin ones faith to, but those
with the ability to reason conditions
out for themselves are firm in the
opinion that people with but few ex-
ceptions, make their own fate, wheth-
er good or i'll.
It takes determination for a girl
who has no money to go forth to Sc
cure a position, but she would wait
forever and day for a position to
come in search of her. All life's al
fairs work on the same general prin'
ciple.
There are young women who be-
lieve because they are thrown in a
particular mans society, that he must
surely be intended as the one to wed,
no matter what his faults or follies
may be. Girls who are not bound
down by fate notions" give the mat
ter of marriage deep and serious
thought. They will not encourage a
would-be suitor whom they know to
be a drunkard, profligate or work
shirker, for they can look ahead and
see what little chance Of happiness
they might expect.
Fate makes no cne's bed; you make
it yourself if you willfully accept that
which you know to be baneful
Young girls should be encouraged to
plan cut their future. 1t is mistake
tc persist in tie belief that this cannot
be done, but it must be planned along
useful lires. Too many mothers bring
up their daughters with the belief that
the sole object Of their existence

BIRTHDAYS catching beau, and q
little later on marrying him.
More careful mothers direct theil
girls minds at tender age from love
and matrimony, teaching them useful
knowledge-if poor, how to become
