Pruning Ch rry Trees.
A gentleman from the eastern part
of Pennsylvania wrote to Professor H.
A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harris-
Pa., asking for detailed informa-
tion concerning the time and method
of pruning cherry trees and received
the following reply, which contains
suggestions that will prove valuable
to other tree growers:
«Cherry trees can be pruned at any
time of year they are dormant, or, in
other words, at any time between now
and the time the buds burst or the
blossoms appear next spring. Tre
method of pruning is something that
cannot well be described, but Iam a
great believer in the low open spread-
ing top for all kinds of fruit trees.
«Your diagram would be almost ex-
actly correct if you would turn your
cutting line that the lowest point is at
centre and the highest at.the outside.
When a tree is pruned so that the
centre, that growth is forced there,and
it becomes constantly taller It re-
sults finafty in a poor shaped tree be-
ause of its strong central growth.
This should be so pruned that the side
dbranches are the taller or longgr, and
the central parts are the shorter. As
soon as the weight of the fruit comes
on it the side branches droop down-
ward, away from the centre, leaving
he centre temporarily as high, or
higher than that. Always in pruning
he shape of a tree at the time the
fruit is upon it is that which should be
hat is @ critical period of the tree,
and the pruning is particular for prop- |
lor shape and strength of the tree at
burg,

“Fall or winter pruning will *do as
well as spring pruning, but the twigs
hould be cut a little higher atove the
buds in the fall. and spring, so as. to
llow a little greater distance for them
bo dry back without killing the bud
that was left as the last on the stub.
he outer brancnes sheuld be cut to

his I mean to say that the cut:should

“Ie pruuing during the fil and win- |

meter of the twig which: he is catting

LESSON FOR DECEMBER 28
A DAY OF DECISION.
(Review.)
READING LESSON—Joshua 24; Heb.
1:28-31.
GOLDEN TEXT-—“For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begotten
son, that whosoever believeth on him
jf ovla not perish but have everlasting
e.”—John 3:16.
The lessons for this past quarter,
omitting the temperance lesson, cov-
er one of the most interesting periods
in the history of Israel. In them
there is presented five of Israel's
greatest | characters, Moses, Aaron,
Miriam, Joshua and Caleb; one of the
strangest characters in all history—
Baalim; und the typical troubler of
the' nation, Achan. We have pre-
sented the strength and weakness,
vietory and defeats, of four, Moses,
Aaron, Miriam, and Joshua.
Israel's History.
The first of the scripture passages
presented for the day’s reading lesson
contains the farewell discourse of
Joshua. In it he surveys Israel's his-
tory from the days of Terah to the
moment they possessed’ Canaan, em-
phasizing that in it all God was di-
recting and operating. He then ap-
peals to them to serve Jehovah and
to put away all other Gods. The al-
‘ternative is, that with such evidence
before their @yes, if it seemed @&vil to
serve Jehovah, they had choice be-
tween the gods their fathers aban-
‘doned beyond the river and those they
had found ‘in the land. As ‘for him-
‘self his choice was made, “%s for me
and my ‘house, we will ‘Serve the
Tord.” After repeated @exlarations of
fealty @n their part Joshua, entered
‘into ‘a aovenant with dibem that they.
‘were %o ‘serve Jehovah. The passage,
‘taken from Hebrews @ught to begin
at verge thirty. |
Moses ‘leads out of Egypt (a type
‘of sim), through the wilderness ex-|
"periténces, but could not lead them
‘ino ‘the land; Joshua took wp the!
wwik where Moses 'left off andl led!
filem tte the prownised possession;
tit he was not alle to lead them into
‘iiedt perfect mest which omly @omes|
from “a perfect coxformity to the will
‘@f' God. The message of the Book
ff Hebrews ¥s that of the som whe
‘fills, 2¥1 thet {rese great leatiors of
rhe past failed te’ do. He leads from
‘bondage inte possession md om to the
“final rest wiiich ‘remains for ike pee-
wplecof God. ok

Nathan Stahl, a well kmown farmer
whose home is along the pike between

i suicide by hanging himsédlf in the
slaughter house at his place «of resid-
-ence about 8 o'clock on Sunday morn-
ing. He had been in poor health for
months, and was very despopdent at
times.
Mr. Stall until a few years ago con-
ducted a slaughter house om his farm,
and the building had beem putito other
uses recently. Stahl went to the build-
ing about 8 oclock in the morning and
115. minutes later one of the members of
the family found his body. He used a
rope in making a noose, one end of
which he attached to a rafter in the
‘building. ‘The body was cut-Gown and
Dr. Bittner of Hooversville was called,
‘but: life had been extinct, for some
time.
On the arrival of the physician it
was discovered that Stahl had writ-
ten a note and placed it im his cap.
The note directed that the body be
buried at Lambertsville ; that not much
expense be incurred at the funeral;
that Undertaker Samuel Baer of
Buckstown have charge of the fumeral
and that $154 would be found in the
should be used in defraying thh ex-

Mr. Stahl is survived by his widow
and the following children, Mrs. Grif-

NEBRASKA SHERIFF KID-
NAPS A B.& O. ENGI
NEER.
In attempting kidnapping at Son -
erset on Tuesday Deputy Sheriff H.
H. Antler, of Lincoln, Neb., bumped
up- against a Pennsylvania, statute
and was arrested at Latrobe on a
charge of kidnapping.
It is alleged that the Nebraska
sheriff meglected to comply with the
requirements of the Pennsylvania
law which gives a prisoner who is
to be extradited the right to a hear-
ing in court before he can legally
be removed from his home state.
Antler hurried his prisoner, Dennis
‘Magikamier, B. & O. locomotive ¢n-
gineer, out of the county while the |
defendant’s attorney was preparing
a petition to the court asking tor a
writ ‘of habeas corpus. Mankamier,
was taken ont a rear door of the
Jail to the garage of the Central
Automobile company where a high
power car was waiting, and at the
-sheriff’s jorder the machine dashed
away? at a high rate of speed out
| the Johnstown pike. When Attorney
.Ross R. Scott, counsel for Manka-
mier, learned of the escapade the
automobile had made seyeral miles
of the contemplated trip and it
seemed that his client was in a
‘hopeless predicament.
Although the car started in the
direction of .Johnstown it was by
no .means~-gertain that the Flood
.City was the Nebraska officer’s first |
goal, and between 12 and 1 o'clock
the expected information arrived
from the Latrobe police. Antler
and his prisoner were arrested in
that place wulle approacilug the
Pennsylyania railroad station to
board a train tor the west.
The Nebraska officer left the Som- |
-erset jail about ten o’clock on Tues- |
.day morning. Attor..ey Scott learn-
ed of the unexpected flight in vhe
nick of time to saye his cli-
ent: an illegal extradition from the
state. The execntion of such a plot
under the shadow of the temple of
justice created quite a sensation as
it became known about town.
The anxiety of the sheriff in- get-
ting his man out of the State has
given rise to persistent rumors that
the State of Nebraska’s charge
against Mankamier is weak and there
is no telling where the matter may
end.
It is said thatthe Nebraskan has
committed in offense in this state in
attempting to remoye a citizen clan-
destinely from {Pennsylvania soil,
whichjis punishable by a year’s im.
prisonment. "
Mankdmier was arrested for de-
serting his wife in Lincoln, Neb.
He claims that he did not desert
her, but that she refused to return |
east after visiting in the west]
with him, and that he had to come |
back in order. to hold his job with |
says he hes at all times been will
