About Trees, Just a Bit.
Editor “Watchman.”
Last week you published an article
on trees which was the most illumin-
ating I ever read, except what old
Virgil wrote and Lorenz set forth in
his bock on “Husbandry,” the most
scientific work ever made by a Penn-
sylvania farmer. ,
I am not a “preacher,” but if T were
I think I would drop the neuroticisms
of the day and talk about trees. I do
not wonder that the Deil’s industrious
emissaries on earth destroy the trees,
not only by fires, but by manufactur-
ing myriads of things out of trees
which are infants. The trees are the
arbors of the gods. In that dim old
time in Britain, before Caesar invad-
ed “the tight little Isle,” with his
murderous marauders, the tall beard-
ed men worshipped God in the woods |
where the temples were of rocks.
Cromlechs, the historians call the re-
mains. There their anthems were
joined by the joyous Allelulias of the
birds that never drink or eat without
casting their beaming eyes aloft, in
gratitude to the Giver of all Good.
The article you published had two
transcendent merits—it told why trees
are and how they grow.
Recently our exhaustive State gov-
ernment which is constantly devising
new methods of extracting honey from
the hives of human industry, publish-
ed a book on “Trees.” It is a very
pretentious symposium of 237 pages
of different kinds of trees from the
modest elder berry bush, which pro-
duces blossoms and fruit that make
wine to banish colds and gladden the
hearts of many, to the towering pine,
which has been blistered out of ex-
istence. But nowhere in all this com-
pilation do I find the succinct and
practical explanation of how trees
grow and live and breathe and fur-
nish a large part of blessings to
humanity, which passes in the shade
and knoweth not the sublime lesson of
wisdom in trees. I marked my copy
of the “Watchman” and sent it to my
namesake grand-son in Ohio, and fol-
lowed it with a message to him to
study and appreciate true forestry.
Yours truly,
W. R. BIERLY.
Who Was This Man?
Wednesday’s Altoona Tribune con-
tained the following item:
A motorist from Bellefonte, whose
name is unknown, when driving over
the grade crossing at the passenger
depot in Gaysport on to Broad street,
yesterday morning, struck a car
driven by Mrs. Cyrus Wilt, of Dun-
cansville, who was driving east on
Broad street. Both cars were consid-
erably damaged, the stranger's ma-
chine striking the other car broad-
side, one of the lamps of the Belle-
fonte car, making a deep imprint on
the door of the Ford.
Mrs. Wilt’s little daughter, who
was with her was cut on the lip by a
piece of glass from the broken wind-
shield, but fortunately no other in-
jury was sustained. It is said the
stranger was the one at fault, as he
is said to have driven at an excessive
rate of speed and in a very careless
manner.
Miss Valentine Sells Her “Last
Resort.”
Miss Rebecca Valentine this week
disposed of her “Last Resort” tea
room in the Decker building, on High
street, to Albert Yougel, the trans-
fer taking place on Tuesday. Mr.
Yougel is a nephew of Mrs. W. W.
Waddle, of the Brant house, where he
now makes his home. He formerly
lived in Brooklyn, N. Y., and got his
eating house experience by working
in a Childs’ restaurant. However, he
has been located in Bellefonte going
on two years and has conducted a
small restaurant on south Allegheny
street where Miss Valentine first es-
tablished her “Last Resort.”
