june TREE PRUNING
PROF. HANSEN MAKES SUCCESS
TIONs REGARDING TRIM
MING OF TREES.

Brookings, June 5.-"The best
time to prune trees is when the
downward flow of sap begins about
the middle of June. since this is the
time when the wound heals quick
est" suggests Prof. N. +. Hansen,
of South Dakota State college. He
says: The white elm, which is
South Dakota's fayorite shade tree,
needs careful attention because it has
the fault Of making toe strong ex-
tension Of young branches, which are
subject TO being broken off close to
the main trunk by strong winds.
The tree is like a ship that has set
too much sail.
TO avoid such injuries care
should be taken in the early a of
the growth, if needed. This checks
the exuberance of growth and makes
a stronger top for the young tree.
For the best results, the long han
died tree primers should be provid-
ed, as it saves much climbing and
makes access easy to trees that 9TH
erwise would remain u%npruned.
"A very dense shade is afforded
by the native box elder. OF late
years it has been much subject to
the box elder bug. If the box elder
is trimmed properly, ii will make a
neatly rounded top. The native ash
needs very little trimming as it nat
urally makes a round top. 1t leaves
out rather late in spring. Care
should be taken TO trim up the top
before the branches get too large.
All limbs should be trimmed If pos
sible before they are one inch in
diameter. The soft maple in the
southern part Of the state will suf-
fer from breaking of branches by
strong winds.
The strongest growth of any is
made by native cottonwood and its
allies such as the Carolina and Nor
way poplars, but they soon get too
tall to cast much shade. On low
lands no other tree makes as much
lumber in a short time as our native
cottonwood.
I'm pruning, leave a stub.

WORKERS GETTING BUSY
EXPECTED THAT GOOD Wealth
Err ONLY REQUIRED TO MAKE
GOOD ROADS DAY SUCCESS.

There Will he a general meet
ing tonight of all persons inter-
ested i'm the good roads day
movement. The meeting will be
held i'm the Commercial club
rooms, and il j. to he a get-to-
gether affair. i'm which workers
and foremen are asked 90 take
part. It will also probably be
decided at the meeting whether
the merchants will close their
stores Thursday.
Assistant foremen for good roads
day. next Thursday, are getting in
touch with their foremen, who live
in the country, and are also engag-
ing as many laborers. to work on
their respective miles of the Merid-
ian road as possible.
Much enthusiasm in the move
ment was expressed at last Saturday
afternoons meeting in the CONNER
cial club rooms. Some Of the fore
men were unable TO get in from the
country, owing to being behind with
their work i'm the fields. Most of
the absentees had sent word, how
ever, that they would devote a days
time to the improving of the high
way and that they would get as much
assistance as possible.
H.. III. Holdridge. chairman Of the
good roads committee, who was cali
ed to Minneapolis last week. to trans
act legal business. and who returned
to the city today, said hat to insure
a fruitful good roads day, it is up TO
those interested i'm the project. to
engage their full quota of helpers
and make final arrangements for
carrying on the work at once.
There is a movement on foot to-
ward asking merchants TO close their
stores Thursday. 1t is said that
some difficulty is being experienced
in obtaining a sufficient number OF
implements for the improvement
work. One foreman has engaged
implements for the day from a Miner
county township board.

HOG STEALING Charge
MANY WITNESSES CALLED BY
THE STATE-NONE SAW
ACTUAL THEFT.

Taking of testimony i'm the hear
ing of Spencer Lutes. accused of hog
stealing. before Justice Of the Peace
+. l.. Soper. in the council chamber
of the city hall. occupied several
hours today. 4 dozen or more wit
nesses testified.
1t vas pretty we'll established that
the hogs alleged to have been stolen
were delivered to Coffey Bros, TO
whom they were sold on the morn
ing following the night of the al
legged theft. May 10. in a wagon own
ed by Spencer Lutes. An employe
of the ". /. Thompson livery barn
on West Fourth street. testified that
Mr.. Lutes called for the team and
wagon. which had been left at the
barn. and later borrowed a buggy at
the livery barn.
Sheriff f. ". Butts and Policeman
Peter Nerdahl described having ar
rested the defendant, two or three
nights after the alleged crime was
committed. They told that the po-
liceman removed Lutes from the
blind baggage of an outgoing train
shortly after / o'clock in the morn
ing. The officers testified that the
mar gave an assumed name, and that
he later asked the officers why they
did not get the guilty parties" who
he is said to have claimed, were rid
ing on top of the train from which
he had been taken.
A member Of the Coffey Bros
firm identified the check given in
payment for the hogs. He did not
say that the defendant was the man
to whom he had given the check.
Ben Jung. from whose place the
hogs are alleged TO have been taken,
and Walter Jung. his brother, told
that they saw the hogs and recog-
nized them after they had been pur-
chased by Coffey Bros. They said
that the wagon used 10 take the hogs
away had tires three and a quarter
inches wide. and that the persons
who had taken the porkers evidently
had fed the team about eighty yards
from the Jung farmhouse. Ben Jung
said he saw no one at the farm that
night and heard no suspicious noises.
The hogs had evidently been driven
a quarter of a mile or so from the
pen before they were loaded into a
wagon.
In an endeavor to prove that Lutes
was the man who cashed the check
given in payment for the hogs, the
state introduced expert testimony.
NJ. III. Colgrove, Martin Berther and
Joseph Opperud, all three of whom
have long been engaged in the bank
ing business, testified that the sig
nature on the back Of the check cor
responded with those the defendant
had written on a chattel mortgage.
At the Lake County National bank,
where the check was cashed, it was
said that members of the staff could
not say who presented the check.
Recalled to the stand by the de-
Tense, Mr.. Coffey said Lutes posi-
lively was not the man who sold him
the hogs.
Mrs. Lutes, wife of the defendant,
said her husband arrived at their
home near Nunda at about IL o'clock
on the night the pigs were alleged
to have been stolen, and that he did
not leave the house that night. The
hogs are thought to have been stolen
after midnight.
States Attorney III. III. Holdridge
represented the state, and r. j.
Lyons appeared for the defense.

His Fine Workmanship.

At the time of the second empire
there had been at Compiegne a great
and elegant hunting party, with ire
mendous massacre of hares and pleas
ants and other game. Standing in
chosen spots, the emperor and his fol-
lowers had the game driven up before
them and had nothing to do but shoot
it down. These high born hunters had
but to stoop to pick up the game that
they shot; but they did not even do as
much as that. Their Wallets, dressed In
picturesque costumes, went about pick
ing up their game for them. As the
hunters returned after the days sport
1t was noticed that Prosper Merimee,
who was one of the party, was the only
one whose servant was not laden with
game. He was left completely in the
lurch, as it were, without having taken
so much as q sparrow.
"Well, well!' his literary fellows ex-
claimed. How did they manage to
get away from you?
when game is so plenty as that"
said Merimee gravely, "the merit of a
lies in hitting nothing. So
fired between the birds"

Apple PeddIers of New York CITY.

On the east side af New York city,
on Ludlow street. south of Grand, is
the wholesale market of the apple ped
dlers. Here there is an animated scene
men wildly shouting and gesticulat-
ing, sidewalks crowded with forests of
apple barrels. 1t is almost impossible
to pass along even in the street for the
dozens of peddlers carts lined up there.
Suddenly there is a commotion, and
crowd gathers at the curb. A barrel
of apples is on sale, bids rise at a pen
ny bid. and finally the highest bidder
carries off his prize. Everywhere are
barrels overlooking with cheerful red
and yellow apples which the peddlers
will carry off to peddle in other parts
of the city. The wholesale apple deal.
ers rent easements along this street in
which to store their wares In the
morning they bring out and strew the
barrels all over the narrow, dingy
stretch of Ludlow street.

Her Best Behavior.

II often give my pupils half of a
story and ask them to finish 1t in their
own way" said a schoolteacher in re-
lating some of her experiences. Zone
day told them about a little girl NAM
ed Gertrude. who started out one Mon
day morning with the resolve that she
was going to be as good all day long as
If It were a Sunday. She started for
school, but had not gone very far when
she met little girl crying That is
where left the story for the children
TO finish. They were to relate what
Gertrude did. This is the way the
most serious boy in school completed
the plot. Gertrude saw the little girl
crying, so she went up to her and ask
ed her what was the matter. 81 had
two pennies" said the little girl, 'and
n big boy took one of them awayl" ooh,
that is too badr' said Gertrude. "What
did you doT" "Oh, l cried. Help.
helpr just like that" said the little
girl. "Why. is that the loudest you
can call?" asked Gertrude. YES"
replied the little girl. 81 have a bad
cold and can't call any louder than
that" SO Gertrude took the other
penny away from her."

Circular Boats.

Still used to a considerable extent,
circular boats in the Tigris may be
seen at Bagdad. just as they appear
cd 1000 years ago. when Herodotus
wrote: THE boats which come down
the river to Babylon are circular and
made of skins. The frames, which are
of willow. are cut in the country of
the Armenians above Assyria, and on
these, which serve for bulls, a covering
of skins is stretched outside. and thus
the boats are made. without either
stem or stern, quite round, like a
shield. They are then entirely filled
with straw. and their cargo is put on
board, after which they are suffered
to float down the stream. Their chief
freight is wine. stored in casks made
of the wood of the palm tree. They
are managed by two men, who stand
upright in them, each plying an oar,
one pulling and the other pushing
The boats are of various sizes, some
larger. some smaller. The biggest
reach as high as 5000 talents burthen.
Each vessel has a live ass on board.
Those of larger size have more than
one"

Divorces Are Costly In Canada.

Canada's divorce court is never en-.
tered except by members of the
wealthy class and not frequently by
them. Only four to six divorces are
granted in Canada annually.
There is no record of a poor man
ever getting a divorce in the Dominion,
it is said. The average cost of a di-
vorce in Canada is $1,000, and the de-
cree is granted for only one offense-
marital infidelity.
The legislature at Ottawa appoints
a divorce committee each session. and
all cases are settled by this committee
There is no appeal in a divorce action.
Those living in the western part of
the Dominion have to pay much more
for a decree than those living in the
east because of the heavier travelling

The Dialect Was There,

Governor Bob Taylor of Tennessee
was once entertaining northern guest
who was rather skeptical about the
prevailing dialect in stories of south
ern negroes. He thought it overdrawn.
To disprove the contention, Mr.. Tay-
Tor laughingly made a wager with his
guest that the northerner would be
unable to interpret the language of
the first negro they met. Accordingly
they set out and presently came upon
a black man basking indolently in the
sun. Telling his friend to pay close
heed, Mr.. Taylor stepped up to the
negro and demanded suddenly:
"Weh he?"
The negro blinked his eyes stolidly
and then answered in gutteral voice:
