Time to Prune Trees.

The pruning Of trees may be per-
formed during any month in the year;
authorities, however, generally agree
that late winter or early spring, before
the buds swell, is the best time. One
point to remember in pruning is that
the fruit is borne on wood Of the pre-
vious seasons growth, and hence a
vigorous annual growth should be PRO
vided for this purpose, which is read.

The Thief and the House-Dou.

A thief came in the night to break
into house. He brought with him
several slices of meat, that he might
pacify the house-dog. SO that he
should not alarm his master by bark
ing. AS the thief threw him the
pieces of meat, the dog said, IF you
think to stop my mouth, you will be
greatly mistaken. This sudden kind
ness at your hands will only make me
more watchful, lest under these un-
expected favors to myself, you have
some private ends to accomplish for
your own benefit, and for my masters
injury. From Aesop's Fables.

Of borers.
Be certain to look for both kinds,
the one boring into the trunks and

Editors Letter Box
Making a Fortune.

Editor kennebec journal:
For the benefit of the coming gen.
Grafton 1 would like to tell my ex-
perience as a plutocrat, through the
medium of your valuable paper.
How / made my start. l had been
married about 10 years, when I picked
up a card of an insurance company.
1t told of the amount a man could
save if he laid up the amount he spent
for tobacco till he was so years old.
1t set me to thinking. A short time
after that I was talking with the old
man I rent my house of. He told ms
he began working for $1.25 a day. He
then owned II rent houses, besides the
one he lived in. OF course, wife and
I had to be prudent.
Well, I thought it over and one
night after wife had washed the supper
dishes, she said to me: What makes
you SO silent? What are you thinking
off" Then 1 told her of the talk of
the old man and the tobacco saving.
What l have been thinking is, 1t is
about time we began to save some
thing" 1 mentioned leaving off tea,
tobacco and some little things. Wife
said I might leave off tobacco but
Il have to have her tea, or / have
the headache. AS for that old man he
would have to work faster for some
one else than he did on fixing up our
house or he would not earn that"
well, we talked it over and TOLD
her my scheme. l would make
box, all tight, only slit to put In our
money. l would leave off smoking all
but once a day. Then when I was
not working in the mill. I would work
extra doing chores for anyone who
wanted me to work. Wife said she
would help save what she could from
our household expenses and work for
the neighbors. Then I started to
make the box. At first I thought an
old soap box that held about bushel
would do. Wife dissuaded me from
this. She said it was too big. Final
ly I settled on one I made myself,
about foot square.
We began saving on my birthday.

sounded, the first nickle l dropped in
the box. Wife and I worked hard all
that year doing everything. We had
good luck in a way. To be sure, we
had a few pullbacks. I got cold
cleaning out a cellar and had a doctor
a few times. Wife was sick once. We
had one child. a boy. He was sick
quite a lot. Everything seemed to go
up in price.
Well, it came my birthday once
core. The year seemed to go awful
fast. That night / got out the box.
Before opened it wife wanted to guess
how much we had saved. She saio,
Il can come the nearest" How much
will you guess?" I said. You say"
said wife. 'well,' for a rough guess,
say about $780," Wife said, Il will
set it $110."
Then broke it open, turned it out
on the table. Wife and 1 had spen.
long winter evenings discussing how
to invest our savings. l favored the
Loan and Building Association. Wife.
thought bonds was the safest. Final-

The Bangor Commercial tells the
following story: An old American Elk
press employee declares that the
queerest article he ever handled by
express was a railroad car. He went
on to explain that it happened back in
the days Of Payson Tucker and that it
came about through some row be-
tween Mr.. Tucker and the head of the
Baltimore & Ohio. The car was sent
to Mount Desert Ferry with the rail-
road mans family in it and it was the
intention to store the car there all
summer. the servants who belonged to
it having been taken to serve in the
summer cottage. Mr.. Tucker raised
some kind of objections to having the
car stay there all summer and after
quite scrap back and forth, the B. &
o. man shipped his Car back home by
express. The doors were securely
locked and sealed with express seals
and the car was billed through to
Baltimore probably to be given a
special rate, a little less than it would
have cost going by the pound.

grandchildren and a grandchild of Mr..

For the first time in the history Of
numbering on the Penobscot river,
says the Bangor Commercial, there
was no west branch drive into the
Argyle boom this year. The only
drive on the main river ended it's
journey at the Millinocket boom, as
every stick contained therein belong
ed to the Great Northern Paper Co.
Only one operator, outside of those
who cut for the corporation, ran his
logs in with the corporation drive and
he sold his logs to the company, so
that there were no logs for the mills
at this part Of the river. This Is sit
uation that has been prophesied for
wears by men who watch the decreas-
ing cutting by independent operators
on Penobscot waters, but this is the
1rst season that the condition foretold
has actually come to pass and that no
saw logs were driven from west
branch waters to the mills of the Pc
nobscot valley.
