The train was flagged some distance
from the lonely station and slowed
down. The engineer, however, sus.

was moving ahead when the robbers
opened fire and wounded the fireman.
The train was stopped and five masked
men approached. Express Messenger
Fowler stepped from the train and
opened fire with a brace of revolvers,
The robbers were unprepared for this,
and fled. One of them was severely
wounded by Fowler, but his comrades

Charming outlooks ought not to be
shut off. A fine tree ought not to be
hampered in its development by oth-
ers less attractive. Two or three trees
of equal excellence ought not to be al-
lowed to survive so long together that
the beauty of all will be ruined. A
shrubbery ought not to look like a
rough thicket, nor should a place be so
crowded with shrubberies as to look
like a wilderness. Health as well as
beauty demands that follage should
not be tao dense in the nelghborhood
of a dwelling house, for human beings,
no less than plants, need the

one or two such groves which are only

trees while the nuts are green to bring
them down will disfigure and injure
the trees, so that after a few years the

their fruit should be protected. There
