Robert c. Young, who is resting for
awhile in the government sanitarium
at Hot Springs. South Dakota, writes
to the Republican as follows:
God bless the optimist! "A careful

Every morning at nine O'Clock q sur

for their trouble. These men are
aged and gray and very naturally they
can't forget their suffering, and at the
best, life for them is near the end. The
tlrst time listened to the complaints
as the surgeon went up and down the
room, it had a very depressing effect.
Just about three chairs before he got
out, he stopped in front of q man,
whose hair was gray; head tied up In
pillow slip with hole in it about two
and one half by three inches, eaten
away by cancer; one leg from which
one-half of the bone had been cut
away, and supported by crutch, the
hole in his head caused by the removed
cancer filled with chunk of the in
side of his left leg, and other things

heart rending story as long as his life.

the usual question, ,'how he was THE

The best time to plant evergreens
is early in the spring just when the
new seasons growth is starting. 1t is
a mistake to plant too early; but IL
the planting is delayed until June, the
trees are not apt to do well unless
frequently watered and Tnulched dur
ing the summer months.
Some planting is Gone in August,
but we do not believe an inexperi-
enced person can make his trees grow
when planted so late
Nurseries frequently put out their
eyergreens in July and August but
more from necessity than choice, be-
cause they are too busy during the
spring months to do required work.
When evergreens are planted late
they should be thoroughly watered and
dust mulch maintained around the
roots until winter sets in.
It is difficult to tell by the looks OF
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer months or not, as
very often they retain their verdure
some time after they are dead.
In the spring, however, trees that
die turn brown within two or three
weeks. The better time to plant ever
green's. is. in our opinion, In the
snring: and we see no reason why fall
planting should be resorted TO unless

SOLD RELICS OF WASHINGTON
Two Authenticated Pistols and Med
icine Chest Of His Auctioned
in New York.

Two pistols which George Washing
ton carried through the Revolution, a
medicine chest which belonged to him
and Light Horse Harry" Lees flag
were sold at auction at New York dur
ing the past year. There are no
Washington pistols in Mount Vernon
or in the National museum at Wash
ington.
The genuineness Of the offerings
was attested by a documentary rec
ord of their sale in 1904, in Alexandra,
Va, at the disposal of the effects of
Washington's secretary, Bartholomew
cambridge, to whom the general pre-
sented the weapons. Their presence
in 1893 at the partition of the Marstel-
Ter estate Is attested. Col. Philip e.
Marsteller, one of Washington's pail
bearers, bought them at the cambridge
sale for G6:3s.
The pistols are of the fiintlock type.
They were made by Hawkins OF Lon
don and bear the gunmaker'S guild
proof mark sc. p" Silver hands across
the butts are engraved General

The medicine chest is OF mahogany
and walnut, about one foot square,
with brass handles. Lees flag Is about
two feet square. 1t had fallen apart
from age, but the pieces were saved
and are held in place by thin netting.

Another Story of Washington.

The senate's function of compelling
deliberation has been illustrated in
many ways, but In none better than by
one of the apocryphal stories OF
George Washington on which an
earlier generation was brought up. He
was said to have been asked at a
friends table, why we had aped the
feudal institutions of Great Britain to
the extent of having a select as we'll
as a popular house in our congress.
His hostess had just helped him to a
cup of tea, SO hot that it was sending
forth cloud of steam. He poured a
part of the tea into his saucer, and let
it stand long enough to cool before
drinking. "This cup" said he, lis the
house of representatives. Its contents
have come directly from the people
who may be in state of great excite
ment. This saucer is the senate, In
