CALL FOR MORE NUT TREES
According 70 Chicago Publication,
Their Value Has In Great De-
gree Been Passed Over.

Some years ago a householder in
Portland, Ore, planted eight Seeding
Persian walnut trees along the street
in front Of his residence. Now, he has
all the nuts his family can use during
the year, divides with the boys Of the
neighborhood on their own terms, and
sells what are left for almost enough
to pay his taxes.
This tale, vouched for by the presi-
dent Of the American Tree association,
Is told as preliminary to question:
Do folks Of the Middle West, in plant
Ing ornamental trees an shrubs, pay
enough attention to fruits and nuts,
particularly the latter?
One may doubt 1t. The climatic
zone near the lakes does not favor Per-
sian walnuts or pecans, but the black
walnut and hickory do well. They
make noble trees, as beautiful as the
best, and their nuts. though harder to
crack than some, are well worth the
trouble. The filbert or hazelnut is a
beautiful shrub, and when planted in
sunny locations yields well. The beech
does not take overwell TO civilization
and town life, but on large suburban
places it should do well, its beauty is

BARLEY gave me disguised look.
"Or else. Pelt, the dog knew him. The
only way to reach the room where
Slyke slept was up those stairs, and
to reach the stairs he had to pass
through the living room. Remember
this, too. Lawrence said, that Slyke
was not going to bed, but expected
another visitor. The butler says the
dog was in the room with him when
he let Lawrence out. Suppose the
other visitor came. If Slyke himself
admitted him, the dog. would have

is, unless he knew him."

BARLEY assented, and we discussed
the various persons in the household.
First, we both agreed that the shot

An oyster eighty years old has been
taken from Delaware bay, 1t is report
ed. Scientific Investigators agree and
assert that the age of an oyster Is in
dicated by the ridges or waterlines on
its she'll, just as the age Of tree is
indicated by the annual rings that
form on its trunk.
A ridge appears on an oyster every
year, according to these savants, up to
the fortieth year. After that the shell
takes on one only every ten years.
This venerable Delaware oyster had

the boy had heard was the one that
had killed Slyke, and that the time
must have been between half-past one
and two o'clock. If that were so,
then, when the girl came In about
three o'clock, Slyke was already dead.
BARLEY was sure that 1t took at least
thirty minutes to iundress Slyke and
get him down from the balcony to
his room. If the shot that the boy
heard was fired before two o'clock,
then the girl would not be suspected,
for she had not returned until three.
We eliminated her.
BARLEY then analysed the sister-in-
law. He said he felt sure she was
hiding something, for she had not
been frank in telling what she knew,
and seemed anxious to get him out
of the house. Whether what she was
