A petition has been introduced in
the senate asking that Washington's
birthday each year may be declared an
"Arbor Day" for Texas. The move
is a good one. Texas, and especially
central, western and southern Texas,
needs trees, and needs them badly.
With generally observed Arbor Day
all over the state, observed conscienti-
ously each year, much could be done to
remedy this noted defect, from which
emenates lack of moisture, rain, shade

the existence Of plentiful shade trees

Mr.. Rylands, the great Manchester
manufacturer, almost up to his death,
at nearly ninety years, insisted upon
conducting personally the concerns of
his business, which he founded nearly
seventy years ago. Every morning he
would be driven to his office, and with
the kindly connivance Of his managers
and head clerks made believe to direct
affairs as he used to do in former
years. One day recently, when the end
was growing very near, he was driven
as usual to his office. When he was
helped out of his carriage and looked
up at the building he turned to re-
enter the carriage, exclaiming pettish'
ly: "No, no, l want to go to my own
place" He did not know the palatial
building in which his later fortunes
were cared for, and his failing mind
suddenly turning back for sixty years
saw the modest building in which hi
had started.
