It has been pointed out Hint fruit trees ore grown along the highways of European countries and oro not only an ornnmont and comfort, but n source of revenuo at tho same time. Cherry trees, the fruit trees most used In Germany, grow quite Inrge. about thirty feet blgh, wltb a crown spread of equal dimension, and remain sound many years after baring reached full growth. Apple and penr trees, like the cberry, grow to great height nud spread and would therefore be suit able for avenue planting. But It Is desirable to use trees with persistent G. V.

' fruit which the wind does not shake off; hence the preference for the cher ry tree. j Nut trees, like walnut, pecan or hickory, might possibly yield a small profit a few years after planting. Of the forest trees those would be pref erable that attain large size, that are long lived, that withstand blgh winds and grow symmetrical without being trimmed Into shape every year or two. These would Include the oak, hackberry, linden, sycamore, varieties of hurd maple and others. To Insure success In planting trees care must be taken In their selection with reference to the soil In which they are to be planted. Some varieties, like the oak, locust and cottonwood, will grow In any soil, while the elm and sycamore must have a deep loam free from alkali to develop Into per fect specimens and attain a long life. As we hnve a great variety of native trees It will not be dltQcult to And a suitable species for almost any soil.

Ho bad n dlro roiuem brnnco of havlmr been the night beforo with two friends of his, Borland nnd Tucker, of taking n number of drinks nud muokin n largo Quanti ty of cigars. Suddenly bo remember ed something else. He and IiIh friends had been discussing the vnrlouB ways criminals gavo thonwelvca away. Wil liams had wondered why they did so, averring that he would supposo every faculty they possessed would bo cull ed out to shield them from detection nud punishment. This Is as far as Williams remem bered. From that tlmo tho liquor ho bad taken affected him bo far that he had no recollection of what bad trans pired, lie did not even know how he hud got to bed. The experience was a novel one to him, for he bad never been Intoxicated before. He was em ployed In a bank and so trusted was he that ho was made a keeper of the safe lock combination In order that when the cashier was absent tho funds might bo available. Something under Williams' pillow rendered his head uncomfortable. Putting his hand there to discover what It was, he pulled out nn oblong parcel done up In brown paper. He opened It and was surprised to see a package of bank bills. Then he re membered something more. He had made n bet with Tucker that he would take a sum of money from the bank, keep It a month, meanwhile proceed ing with his duties at the Institution without betraying his secret. Then the party had gone to the bank. Wil liams had opened the snfe and had taken the money. All this he recalled while looking at the package and was horrified at what he had done. If detected what avail would It bo for Borland nnd Tucker to swear that the money had been taken on n bet and was to be returned? He was In tho position of a criminal. His first thought was to telephone to the bank that ho was 111 and would not bo there that day. But the loss would be discovered, nnd his absence would cause suspicion that he had taken the money. No; he must get up nud go to the bank as usual. He plunged Into n rnld tin th ilroH.scd. drank n cut) of j coffee and. leaving the bills locked in ' nn old trunk In a storeroom, went to fnce the ofllcers aud clerks of the bank Meanwhile he had been thinking thnt be would confess the whole af fair. Would he be believed? Would it not be considered that he had com mltted the theft, become frightened at what he had done and made up this story to save himself? Ills two friends would testify for hltn, lint al most any one would help a fellow out of such a fix, and their testimony would bo taken "with u grain of salt." No; lib only hope was to carry out tho conditions of his bet successfully. He entered the bank, assuming as careless an air as he could command. Nothing seemed amiss with those us sembled there. Williams sat down at his desk aud went to work. About 11 o'clock ho was called Into tho presi dent's olllce, where he found the cash ier, both ofllcers showing by their de meanor that the loss had been dis covered. "Mr. Williams," said tho president, "$5,000 In hills Is missing from the safe. You nnd Mr. Stivers, the cashier, nnd one other are the only ones who know the combination of the safe lock. I am not going to accuse you of tak ing this money. simply wish to hear what you have to say about tho matter." Williams, whose heart wbh in his throat, denied nny knowledge of how tho theft could have been effected. Ho looked frightened, but that wns to bo expected. The president, after study ing his face carefully, dismissed him. Williams went back to his desk and to misery. As to doing bin work that was Impossible. What he tried to do he blundered over. After an intermlna. ble day of wretchedness he went homo and to his room uud fell on bis bed with a groan. "If I, who am really Innocent of wrong," he said, "am so affected by ray position, what must be the state of a real criminal?" There was no sleep for Wllllnma that ulght. He dreaded to go to the bank that day and dare not remain away. He went to his desk at the usu nl hour, and ns ho sat down, though ho looked nt no one and no ono looked at him, ho felt that a battery of eyes was upon him. During the day n trifle of comfort came to him, since ho was treated by all In the bank with (he same friendliness ns beforo the rob bory. But there wns a steady wear upon his nerves, nnd when ho reached his room ho felt that he had lost much ground on this first day of his trial. He now knew that he could not stand the strain for thirty dayB nor for half that time. He must llnd u way to return tho money, covering bis tracks at tho sumo tlmo. Ho waa ho unstrung that he could not, daro not use any mothod that occurred to him. On tho fifth day he went to the pres ident nnd confessed that ho had been tempted to steal the monoy, making no mention of his bet. The omission saved him. Ills frlcndii told of the bet, nnd tho president un derstood tho mental strata thut had led!
