TREES OF NORTH CALIFORNIA Olanta Amongr the Reswssdi of the State, llnvr They Floartsh ad Where. The redwocd of California la the great tree of the Pacific roast. Two thousand acres of It exist In Oregon along the Chetco river. South of the Chetco a Con tinuous redwood belt begins and Increases In width from ten miles at Del Norte county to eighteen or twenty ml lea and keepa on unbroken to southern Humboldt county. Here la a. gap, but In Mendocino the belt becomes dense again and widens out to thirty-five miles. South of that county the tree grows in Isolated patches. The climate and topography of northern California have brought about thla limited distribution. North and aouth along the coast In nearly parallel ridges lie the mountains of the coast range, aleep and rising to SJtliudea of 1,000 to 3.0:0 feet. A few large rivers, the Smith. Klamath, Mad, Bel, Russian ' and many smaller atreame cut through them to enter the sea, and along their courses In places .are broad bottom lands and gentle slopes. West Of the coast range the climate Is even and moderate, with a temperature running from Juet below freezing to SO degreea. Snow Ilea on the tope of only the hlgheat rldgea. Thirty to sixty Inches of rain falls In the autumn and winter; and during the summer sea fog bathes the coast But east of the mountains, less than fifty miles from the sen, lie hot Interior valleya, never visited by fog, parched and rainless In summer ami wet only oc casionally by the winter ralna condltiona too unfavorable to permit the growth of redwood. It requires very little from the soil except that it be moiet.

There are two tveea or th. ,-..,.. which grows on the hlllsldee, and the eec- ona, which grows on the flats along the rivers and streams. The usual type la that of the slope; that la the growth found on the ateep sides of the coast ranges, and aide by side with the red wood grow other trees. such as fir, tan bark, oak, white fir anr madrons. As the slopes become moder ate, the altitude lower, the soil deeper, the forest becomes denser, until on the rich flata and In the gulches the second type Is developed. On the best redwood flats no oiner tree arrows. On the slopes S5 feet Is about the maxi mum length and ten feet Its greatest dia meter, while on the flata, under better con dltiona, the tree grows to be- 350 feet high with a diameter of thirty feet, and occasionally giants exceed thla. Moat of the redwoods are from 400 to 800 years old The oldest tree scientifically measured was 1.4o0 years. After the tree has passed 6(0 years It uaSally begins to" die down from the top. It has a straight, slightly tapered trunk withdut limbs for more than 100 feet and a crown of horlsontal branches that may occupy a third to a half of Its length.

Later when clean ing ttte fish he was surprised to find the missing ring Inside the Sucker. Death Dream Comes Yrne. Tearing himself froai the arms of lils wife, who begged him not to leave his home In Sprlnfleld, Mo., because she had a presentiment In her dreams that he would be terribly mangled, Oscar Whit- worth, a brakeman on a Frisco train, left his home on a ride to death, for he fell from the top of a car one mile west of Aurora and was ground to pieces be neath the wheels of the train. Whltworth's absence was not noticed by members of his train crew until the freight arrived at .Monett, sixteen miles away. Half and hour later the members of an other train crew passing the spot where Whltworth had fallen saw the body. 'When Whltworth started to go out on his run hla wife, with tears streaming from her eyes, begged him to stay at home. Whltworth laughed at her pre monition, and aa ha left home laughtlngly told her that ha would return all right and disprove her belief in dreams. Traced t Boll Calf.

Hadley, a peddler, amused himself and confidential friends by catohlng the calf after nightfall, tying a brush to Its tall, and permitting the fright ened animal to run through the woods, bawling with every Jump. One, night, while three of the "Jokers" were trying to catch the calf, the animal Jumped a ditch. Into which Its pursuers fell, and they nearly drowned before they could scramble out. Several men, who were trying to solve the strange animal mystery, were witneaaea of their plight, and In thla way the secret be came known.

Abdul Hamld, sultan of Turkey, Is a written that to obtain anything like an ac- cunnlng and simplicity. So much haa been writetn that to obtain anything like an ac curate Idea of the real character la almost Impossible. Like most autocratic man arvhs, relates the Chicago News, he goes about In hourly drend of assassination, and It la said that he spends as much as V a night to have his bedroom securely guarded. The sultan's mistrust of his sub jects has sometimes led to curious results. A few years ago he was on his way to the mosque, when he suddenly noticed that some new telegTaph wires had been stretched across the roadway. -No one to this day knew what he thought would hap pen, but he gave orders for the royal pro cession to halt and messengers were sent post haste to the telegraph company to fetch men to cut down the wires. After considerable delay this was actually done, and then the sultan and his retinue pro ceeded on their way. Not content with merely having the wires destroyed, Abdul Hamld commanded that on no account were they to "be replaced. The sultan'a love of ruling waa once ex emplified In an extraordinary manner. He had purchased a parrot, of which he grew very fond, and he spent many hours In teaching it to speak. The bird was an apt pupil and learned to Imitate Its august master's voice to perfection. One day the parrot waa hanging In Its cage In the sul tan's private apartments when It suddenly called out the name of his majesty's favor Of the S WlllC Meal Range Every Day This Week, the manufacturer's demon strator will be at our store Without cost to us, the manufacturers give a $5.00 present with each sale of a Quick Meal Range.

Tearing the unfortunate bird from the cage he killed it on the spot, then turning to the frightened servant, he said: "Understand that in future only my voice shall command here!" But Abdul Hamld has a softer and alto gether nobler side to his character an., those who know him Intimately have spoken eloquently of his kindness. His own dread of physical pain has made him thoughtful of the welfare of others, and he haa had a hospital built, which Is kept up entirely at his own' expense.

Mr. O'Conor told what he wished to prove. "It Is useless to waste the time of the court and Jvfry In proving that," said the other; "I admit it." Mr. O'Conor then called his next witness, and the same question and answer were re peated. "I admit it," said Mr. Gerard; "don't let ua waste time." Another witness began, and Mr. Gerard Interrupted: "I ad mit all you say you were going to prove. Let us hurrry along." With a rapidity which took O'Conor's breath away all the facts which he had accumulated were accepted wholesale. There he rested his case, and Gerard, for the defense, called no witnesses, but at once began his address to the Jury. "Gentlemen of the Jury," said he " some of you know me personally.
