WHY PLANT STREET TREES

Ornament, Health, Comfort and Pro

tection Are Four Good and Suf

Sclent Reasons.

Thera are at least four good rea

sons why w# should plant atreet

tree«: First, for ornament, second,

for health; third, for comfort; fourth,

for protection,

t. Ornamentation.

That street or

namentation pays in many ways no

one will deny, but It pays dlrsctly la

dollars and cents. Beautifying a neigh

borhood la not a mere lad. It coats

but little more to make It attractive

than to leave It or make It unsightly,

and a well-kept, well-planted district

will not only attract, but command

residents desirable In svery way. It

Is not mere sentiment that prompts

the railroads to advertise the attrac

lions along tbelr Hues

(hem represents cash, and each year

they spend t|nmen«e sums calling at

tention to the attraction* of the sec

tions through which they pass. If

people choose a line of travel be

cause of its natural and acquired

beauties, bow much more eagerly

will they seek euch a place for a Ma

Beauty to

That both are eagerly aought

for la undisputed landscape beauty

be satisfied to apend his life In a do«

art, though aurrounded with the ne

cessities of life In plenty Our na

tures crave better and more beautiful

surroundings, and we oftlmea travel

far aeeklng the moet beautiful loca

tion obtainable.

2. Health. Treea add greatly to the

3. Com fort. Treea add materially

to comfort either In city or country,

not alone to shads the passer-by,

branches, but In a climate like oura,

with perpetual sunshine, they soften

4. Protection Every one will read

ily concede that atreet trees afford

protection from both wind and suit,

Ths gorge of tha River Arnon Is one of the chief pointe of Intereet about

CAPTAIN ROGERS' SLIDE

Bald Mountain or Rogers' Rock on

the west sbore of Lake George rears

Its ponderous bulk of granite to an al

most perpendicular height of 1.1U0

feet, being m ate he j by a similar bulk

and height on the east, half a mile

away. Here Captain Rogers and hla

small army on snowshoes were de

feated by a large army of French

and Indians. The small remnant were

scattered through the forest at the

top of the mountain, and a party of

Indiana tracked the marks of the

snowshoes of the refugees. Wheu

Rogers became aware that he was

likely to be driven over the precipice,

be made his way to the brink, threw

his pack and accoutrements down the

slide to the latke. He then turned bis

snowshoes around and, after stealing

along the edge of the hill, made his

way down the lake, picked up his

pack, reversed his snowshoes and

sped southward to the Narrows, where

he was met by Captain Stark with re

inforcements and provisions. The In

dians followed Rogers' tracks to the

brluk. where, seemingly, were two

tracks to the precipice. They con

cluded that two white men had slid

down to the tee below. While gazing,

they saw a mile away the form of

Rogers. But considering him under

the special protection of the Great

Spirit, they made no further pursuit.

Sloan's liniment is good for pain of

any sort It penetrates, without rubbing,

through the muscular tissue right to the

bone—relieves the congestion and gives

permanent as well as temporary relief.

Here's Proof.

A. W. Lay of Lafayette, Ala., writes

" I had rheumatism for five years. I tried

doctors and several different remedies but

they did not help me. I obtained a bottle

Sloan's Liniment which did me so much

good that I would not do without it

for anything."

Thomas L. Rice of Easton, Pa.,

- writes : " I have used Sloan's Lini

», ment and find it first-class for rheu

Mr. G.G. Jones of Baldwins, L.I.,

writes:—"I have found Sloan's Lin

iment par excellence. I have used it for broken sinews above the knee

cap caused by a fall, and to my great satisfaction I was able to resume

my duties in less than three weeks after the accident."
