The Arrangement OF Leaves.

The general arrangement of the leaves
on limbs and stalks of trees and nlants
secures between each sufficient space to
prevent one leaf from interferins With
another And not only are leaves 80 ar
ranged as to exist independently Of each
other, but in general way they have
taken upon themselves the forms hest
adapted to secure the maximum of sun-
light as it is shOwered upon them in DIFF
ferent latitudes. At the equator. where
the suns rays are vertical, we find large
nat leaves, like those of the banana
piantain and the various species of the
cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
az an angle, small leaves and pine
needles" are found. Then, again. note
the popularity of the Australian pum
tree-instead Of exposing their broad
faces to the sun the edges only are SO
turned. Were it otherwise the sun
would rob them of all their moisture II

Worrying Over TRIES.

"My young friend Seth Booty" said
Colonel Calliper, twas healthy and
wealthy, and he had nothing to do but
to get as much enjoyment out of life as
he could. For time he had great sue
cess; then cloud arose.
''Seth was not a tall MANN fact, he
was rather short, but he had never
thought anything about this one way or
the other until men began to wear large
plaids, and, do you know, he was great
1y distressed because he couldn't wear
plaids as big as some of his friends couldf
''Seems foolish, doesn't it, for man
situated as Seth was to fret over such a
matter as that? But venture to say
that we all know men with every reason
to be happy who make themselves mis-
cradle worrying over trifes not worth a
moments consideration. New York

The Ball Game.

The game of ball Monday after
noon between the Wiilmar and Morris
teams was one of the closest and
most interesting contests ever wit
messed in Morris. Tho Morris boys
were at disadvantage in the matter
of practice, but they displayed the
nerve and courage which, if properly
diciplined, will make the team a
dangerous one. All fairness compels
us to say that Morris won the game
on merit, but decision which gave
Willmar two scores on a foul gave
that club the game. One of the
features of the struggle was the mag
nifcent box work of Stinson. George
is a twirler Of the first water, and
with proper support Morris can com
pete with any club west of the cities.
The Wilimar boys are a genial,
gentlemanly lot of fellows, and play
ball from start to finish.
The next meeting of theseeSclubs,
which will occur in the near future,
promises to be as interesting as the
first event,

A Great Loss.

The loss which tho Northern Pacific
railway company suffers in the sud
den demise of Mr.. w. S. Mellen is
one which only those who are familiar
with railroad administration can
properly estimate. He has passed
away now, and it is fitting principle
that nothing but good should be said
of the dead, but there is no man who
knew of Mr.. Mellen's relationship
toward any of the carrying corpora
tions which he served that viii not
readily say that the highest econium
that can be passed on him is an hon
est recital of the work he did. He
was man hardly in the prime of
life, yet who was daily spoken of
among the veteran railroad men as
an exceptionally able administrator.
His position was made by brains and
labor honestly expended. He was a
typical cool headed, foresighted
American, who needed neither for
tune nor influence to secure for him
his magnificent position in his calling
To his friends W. S. Mellen was
nearest by reason of his kindness of
nature. No man ever left his pres
ence unimpressed by his loyable
personal qualities. Neither rank nor
power affected him. He was access
sible to all alike, and the men who
worked with him, like those who
worked for him, saw in him, as did
those who were never brought in con-
fessional contact with him, only a
strong, simple and earnest man, who
had nothing to conceal, nothing to
exaggerate and nothing to fear, and
whose admirable personality left 10
impress on all who touched it.
ST. Paul has always been proud of
the dead railroader, and ST. Paul will
unite with his friends and his profes-
sional associates in mourning his loss.
We copy the above from the St.
Paul dispatch. We endorse every
word. 1t is only just tribute to a |
man whose loss will be greatly felt,
and whose place can not well be
filed.
