Emerson Coen, who was taken to the naval hospital at Brooklyn a short time ago to undergo an operation for a trouble in his neck, is still confined there. An X-ray photograph of the afflicted member will soon be taken, by the surgeons, who are as yet in doubt as to whether the trouble is caused by the growing together of the ligaments broken, in a game of football or whether it is merely a ,broken bone. For this reason the x-ray will be used. If it proves to be the latter, the operation will probably be only a slight one.

KENTUCKY POET

Pays Tribute to the Strenuous Colonel and His Hat. Washington, D. C., March 13. Senator-elect Ollie James of Kentucky today received from Rev. C. C. Carroll of Owensboro, Ky., the subjoined, entitled: MY HAT. Hey, PARD, put her thar, And put her hard; This hat? well, yes, ’ This old hat will do Iguess, Good old servicable tile, Is it going out of style? Well, friend, I guess I’ll wear This old lid until the end, Many a day on the old rancho I’ve slaped this hat 4 And my good poncho Across the eyes of a bucking bronfcho. In old New York and on the plain It shelters me from sun and rain; In San Antonio, at San Juan, This same old head gear I had on. No matter wherg I went, by cracky, Dressed in broadcloth or in khaki, Cheered by soldier or by jacky, Without this bld hat I’ve never gone. In the White House it passed muster, 1 wore it as a past trust buster, I wore it when the Russ and Japs Were holding theirs’ tight in their laps; On the ocean, in the jungle, I have never made a bungle; I met the. lions teeth to teeth With the brim turned back from beneath; I kept it on when I took my leave In Egypt from the fezzed Khedive. With the,, French President’s chapeau Was this old hat content to go. I let the King in London town And Bill, the Kaisei;, wear a crown, But I just pulled this old hat down Across my brow a little lower, And was just Colonel Theodore; Just THEOdore, from Heaven hurled As the gift of God unto the world. Nay, Bard —think of the disgrace That Billy Taft would have the face To want to stay in my place. If any said I’d never try’er For the Third Term, he’s a liar.. And by Jim That’s him. It hurts me, Pard, that Wm. Howard Should take advantage, like a coward, Of my absence, with my machine To keep my office —Pard, that’s

mean; And gol ding; When I thought of that blame thing I chucked this old hat in the ring. And by creation, The Colonel’s after the nomination, I’m the man to ride old Jumbo, I’m the righteous razzle dazzle, I’ve got ’em licke’o now to a frazzle. Lyman Abbott’s a little tame. I had to get back in the game. A man is needed in the saddle, And Bill’s too fat to ride astraddle; It’s only principle, you see, Bor me to ride the G. O. P.’

The Hard or Sugar Maple as a Shade Tree.

The maples are used in Indiana more extensively for shade tree purposes than all other kinds of trees combined. There are Mur kinds used. The silver-leaf and red maple, commonly called the soft maples, are most frequently planted on account of their Mapid growth. Their use Should be discontinued because they are subject to the deadly attack of several common insect pests and they grow long slender branches which frequently break off when loaded with ic&. The Norway maple has recently been introduced but is too low-head to make a desirable street tree. Our native sugar maple is by far the best kind of maple to plant along a street unless a small tree is desired. It will adapt itself to all kinds of soil, except a wet and undrained one. However, it grows best on a moist or dry, porous soil. The sugar maple has as yet been able to resist its insect enemies. The trees for planting should be secured from lf the nursery and not be over eight feet high. Trees from the nursery will have a better root system and are not as likely to sun scald as trees transplanted from the forest. I>* the tree should sun scald, that is, a part of the body die, it is better to plant another tree than keep the defective one which will begin to decay and die early. When planting the tree do not cut off the top. All pruning should be confined to taking off the lower branches until the head of the tree is 10 to 12 feet abovei the ground. Shade trees as a rule are planted too close. A seventy-foot lot should not have more than two trees. After the tree is carefully planted place some kind of protection around it. A bpokiet on the selection, planting and care of shade trees may be had free by writing the State Board of Forestry at Indianapolis.

POULTRY

NEW YORKER INVENTS HOUSE In Two Sections, With Walls and Roof Hung on Hinges—Quite Easy to Keep Ventilated. A rather elaborate poultry house has been designed by a New York man. It is in two sections, one of which slides upon the other and is jmall enough to be easily taken apart rhe lower section has screens along

Useful Poultry House.

Its side walls, while the wooden walls are hinged at the top so that they can be opened at any angle desired, chains holding them in position. In this way ventilation can be obtained and the interior protected from rain or too much light. The upper section, which has a peaked roof, has a door at one end and a series of roosts arranged around the sides and ends on the interior. One-half of the roof is screened, too, and the top on this side is hinged so that it can be kept open or closed. The entire roof can also be slid on or off at will. This arrangement makes it easy to clean the house thoroughly in all parts and keep it well ventilated, thus eliminating insect pests to a great degree.
