"The Poor Mans Friend"

M
I have consulted Mrs R. w. Smith,
of this place, about the matter and
he tells me the reason that Mr.. Gal
lery will not put my picture among
the other immortals in his collec-
ton is because I have written un-
der it that I am the poor mans
friend. 1 have. been thinking of
this some myself, and it has oc-
Cured to me that probably this is
cutting some figure in this matter,
and that the refusal of this party
to take the matter up with me is in
reality kick at the poor man. Per-
NIT me to say that Mr.. Gallery can
20. to b before I will go back
on the poor man., I was born with
a great love for all poor men, and
all my life it has been my chief am
bition to serve the poor man by SELL
ing him all the furniture I could.
Sometimes I have given as much as
a dime or fifteen cents to poor
boy who needed an education in Or
der to give him a first class start
in life. In fact liberality with the
poor is one of my worst failings. I
cannot stand to see the poor suffer,
if there is any chance for me to
get away and. not: see it. There
fore, I will not remove the inscrip-
ton that I am the poor mans friend
from under my, picture. to improve
my chances Of getting nay rights. I
will not bend the knee to. any such
demand on the. part, of. any. autocra-
tic potentate. and: l will demand
my rights. r:%4ue.s
What is this war about anyway?
Have the people mo rights? Will
one man like the German Kaiser or
Mr.. Gallery take. the matter of the
world into his own hands and say
how the people shall be ruled and
who shall have his picture posted in
the hall as a prominent man? We
think not; we, the people, think
that we have a right to pass on our
own affairs, and that little clique
of Pan-autocrats shall not assume
to themselves the prerogative of say
ing who is prominent and who is
not. If we are to have any such
fasco as this, when will the promi-
nent men of the small states and
municipalities ever come into their
own rights? Are these people to
select their own. prominent men, OF
are these prominent, men, to be sell
ected by Mr.. Gallery or Mr.. Kais-
er, of some other man claiming a
divine right to determine who has a
right to have his picture in the hall.

OLDEST THING IN THE
WORLD is A TREE

The oldest thing in the world is
a tree. When we remember that
the very olives under which, Christ
preached in Palestine are still living
and were living ages before he came
on earth, it is not to be wondered at
that man came through all ages has
reverenced the trees.
I The size and age which trees at
tain vary greatly in different species
and with the same species under diff
ferent conditions of climate. Those
that grow in dense forest are COM
paratively shortlived and do not
grow so large as those in open spa
ces. Under the same conditions the
age and size attained by trees of the
MANY varieties are practically the
same. Thus the average period for
oaks and pines may be 800 or 400
years, but there are many wonder
full exceptions to this. There is an
oak tree in Dorsetshire, England,
which is said to be between 1900
and 1000 years old. The great oak
at Saints, France, is known to be
nearly 200 years old and measures
90 feet around. There are num-
ber of other trees in Europe which
are known to be from 1900 to 1000
years of age.
The oriental plane tree is noted
in eastern countries for it's size and
age. There is one near Constantl-
niple which is 100 feet high and l5o
feet in circumference. This is prob
ably as old as any existing tree. Elm
trees are comparatively shortlived.
They have been said to reach the
age of 800 years, but this is doubt
full. They are known, however, to
have passed the century mark in
number of cases. The lime of lin
den tree has been known to reach
the age of 600 years, and there are
several in Switzerland that are
known to be 200 years old. Those
on the Mount of Olives in Palestine
may be contemporary with the
Christian era. They are known to
have been in existence in 1917 when
the Turks captured Jerusalem.
The cedars in Lebanon are men
toned in the Bible, and many OF
this group attain the age of 1901
years The North American cypress
is a slow-growing tree and attalns
great age. A number of these may
be seen at the Arnold Arboretum,
the great tree garden of Harvard
University. A cousin of this family
is the "cypress of Montezuma," near
the City of Mexico, and it perhaps,
over 1000 years old. In the Mexican
state of Oaxaca is a cypress which
measures IL feet in circuit. This
shows no sigrs of decay or age, yet
it. is possibly nearly 5000 years old.
Even some of the smaller trees
attain great ages. In Gloucester
county, New Jersey, near the town
of Mickleton, stands a white oak 90
feet high, its branches spreading liS
feet,

what league of nations was if they
met it coming down the road.-Miami

This is rather unjust to the legis-
lature. There is nothing specially
difficult to understand about Mr.. Will
sons idea of a league of nations and
there is plenty of intelligent men in
both houses. Does the Herald, for in

knows it has more information, is
more interesting and generally Sc,

Mr.. William Hooker, in his article,
"Hang the KAISER" elsewhere, takes
the American view of the question. If
Bill should surrender to the Ameri-
cans, they would have to do one of
two things, hand him over to the AL
lies or send him. to this country and
turn him loose. He would probably
be very glad to find himself in Am
erica. He could find plenty of pro-
Germans who would kiss his bloody
hand and consider themselves honor
ed by getting close enough to his alb
ominable carcass to inhale its aura,
and he could probably find several
places in the United States where he
could live and keep up court. De-
cent Americans, of course, would
have nothing to do with him, and
there are any number of communities
where he would be lynched, but Am
erica would be the most safe ant
comfortable place for him if ne coult
reach it. If he falls into the hand:
of the British or French, they vii
likely put him to death, and if the!
do we think they should give hin
about such trial as his minion
gave Captain Fryatt. Mr.. Hooker
historical parallels are accurate, S,
far as they go, but we hardly thinl
they go far enough to keep up witt
