The suggestion is not bad. except that the shelf
ought to he capable of extension TO an indefinite

One OF the characters in an early
day American romance OF the time
when the stamp act was causing all
kinds of trouble is recorded as decar-
ing that New York never would be
real business city because Broadway
and Maiden Lane were lined with
trees. The Van vroonns, the Stuyve-
SAINTS, the Artayelts, and other early
settlers of the country saved fine trees
about their homes, on the village
greens, along the country roads, and
in the fields. But one will see no
trees nowadays on Broadway. and
Maiden Lane has been transformed
from the pleasant tree-bordered re-
glon OF Dutch homes with flower gar
dens into the busiest wholesale jewel
ry district In America, If not in the
world.
Beauty and comfort gave way to the
lnroads Of commerce, not only in New
York but in most Of Americas great
cities, so that today trees In a bust
ness street are a rare sight. There
are eIm-shaded villages in New Eng
land; mapIeshaded towns in New
York and the Ohio valley, and there
are oak-tree streets TO be seen In the

part this refers only to small towns

euffaIo RiIps Quick Wit.

Col. William +. Cody, while travel
ing in Europe In 1891 with his Wiid
West show, was on quite Intimate
terms with royalty. On Buffalo Biils
advent into Berlin Emperor William
was entertaining three kings OF small
or German powers. One feature Of the
Wild West performance was the ex-
hlbltion of an antiquated Deadwood
coach, containing passengers who we're
attacked by Indians and rescued by
cowboys. The kaiser asked that he
and his guests be allowed to ride in
this vehicle during a performance
and of course the request was granted.
After the usual attack and rescue the
emperor remarked:
Colonel Cody, don't suppose this
is the first time that you have held
four kings?'
mo. your majesty replied the
scout, you are right, but 1t is the first
occasion that / ever held four kings
and the royal joker at the same time.

Farmers Bulletin 1909, Planting and
Care of Street Trees, just issued by
the United States Department of Ag-
rlculture. Every tree should be
trained to Its proper form while
young, so that severe pruning will not
be necessary later. Guards are reces.
sary. too, for several years.
ITO the mutilation Of severe prun-
ing has been added the destruction Of
many trees in centers of business be-
cause they excluded little light, or
made the store less prominent, or
were somewhat in the way of using
the sidewalk for merchandise"
The bulletin insists that providing
shade on city streets is as much Il
municipal function as providing lights
or sidewalks and should, therefore, be
cared for by public officials, Prob
ably the most efficient way OF arrang-
ing for proper supervision, It says, is
through an unpaid commission OF
three or five members which In turn
employs an executive officer. Meth
DDS of organization are described, and
numerous illustrations show how trees
should be planted. There are chap

transplanting, and other subjects of
