lie STORY OF MIKE.

In His Remarkable Success He Has Not
Forgotten the Old Folks.
Two years ago Mike Holland was
in my class in a little college up in
Vermont. Mike was working his
way through. His father was an
Trishman, who had come over to this
country and by the hardest kind of
work, and lots of it, had managed to
get together a few sterile acres on
the Vermont mountain sides. Then
he proceeded to raise family of
some dozen children They lived in
log house. Mikes father couldn't
read or write, but Mike went to the
district school and took kindly to
education, which his father blindly
worshiped from afar.
He got schooling" in the winter
time, and in summer carried his arith
metic book in his overalls when he
followed the plough. He teased his
father to let him away from the farm
long enough to go to the high school.
and there he was fitted for college.
He worked his way" through by
doing odd tchores" for anybody he
could, by staying out part of the win
ter term to teach school and keeping
up with his class by studying at
night, by becoming a book agent in
the summer time, by raising vegeta
bles and washing windows.
Then he graduated at the top of his
class without a penny, but with an
ambition to be lawyer. By kindly
permission of lawyer in the village
he was then very well read up in
the law. He graduated and went
west. How he got there can't imag-
inc unless he walked or rode on
freight trains unknown to the CON
ductor.
1 did not see him again until yes
terday, and then he came IN ON me
blooming. Hewas elaborately dressed
and wore his silk hat far on one side
of his head Mike had prospered.
He had gone to a law-school, was ad-
mitted to the bar, then went to Da-
kota to practice and then to Seattle
to go In the real estate business. To
day he is worth over $10O, 900. He is
president of bank, a director and
heavy owner in railroad, an owner
of whole blocks of houses in Seattle
and of real estate In San Francisco
and San Diego.
In few years Mike viii be a mil
lionaire. The best part of it Is he has
not forgotten the old folks and the
other eleven children up in Vermont
He is taking the best care of them.
The family no longer live in log
house, but the best In the town, and
the boys and girls viii an go to col
lege
Such is the story of Mike. II is
not an uncommon one, and it is pos.
sible IN no other country than this.

The woman wrote ON quickly.
After awhile the servant entered and
laid pile of letters ON the table.

she caught sight of the writing on
one of the letters Sheput down her
pen and opened it. 1t ran thus:

The woman read the letter, then
she stood up and walked toward the
fire. She did not reread it, but stood
with it open in her hand, looking
down into the blaze. Her lips were
drawn in at the corners. Presently
she tore the letter up slowly, and
watched the bits floating down one
by one into the CRATE. Then she
went back to her desk and began to
write, with her mouth still drawn In
at the corners After awhile she
laid her arm on the paper and her
head ON her arm, and seemed to go
to sleep there.
Presently the servant knocked; the
boy was waiting. Tell him to wait

How he Came to study school AIsthoda

How He Came TO Study school methods.
DIR. j. NJ. Rice, whose articles on
our public school system in The
Forum are attracting attention, was
brought to consider the subject years
ago because in his medical practice
in New York city he saw such grave
results from inattention TO the phys
ical well being of children in the
schools. IF the child,s physical well
being were neglected, he reasoned
that their intellectual wen being
could not be well cared for. This
idea took such possession Of him that
he abandoned his medical practice
and set to work to make thorough
study of the proper principles, phys
ical and psychological, of primary
teaching. BE lived several years
abroad and travelled much In the
United States as well.

Trees.

Set out treesi adorn the homestead,
Make IL pleasant all around,
Let the clms and oaks and naples
With the evergreens abound.
Let the home be so attractive
That the boy that is today,
When he shall arrive Mt manhood
And in foreign lands may stray.
Turn with longing heart and loving
To his home these hills among,
Thinking how the trees are thriving
Which he helped 70 plant when young.
Set out treesI along the highway,
Place them thick ON either side;
In the present Joyous springtime,
Everyone his part provide.
Set out walnuts, chestnuts. beeches
Where the playful squirrels come:
In the hemlocks. frs and spruces
Shall the song birds find home.
Let their branches growing, twining,
Forming arches DER the way,
Shield the horse and screen the rider
Through the long. hot summer day.
Thick green leaves the golden sunshine
Hiding while the dog star reigns;
Then when autumn paints them gayly
Carpeting the hills and plains.
Set out treesi upon the common.
Ashes, lindens, poplars, birch;
Set them out around the school house,
Place them thick about the church,
Have the children's playground shaded
And the public walks as well.
And the joys from these arising
Coming ages glad will tell.
These shall live and grow and gladden.
While we molder meath their leaves.
Let us then improve the present
Leave behind us priceless trees.

move ia. the right direction. Any
one who has lived in the country
districts will acknowledge that the
ordinary country roads as they ex-
ist today, are a standing disgrace
To their wrctched condition can be
directly traced many Of the discom-
forts Of farm life; not only this but
it can be readily shown that they
entail an immense amount of finan-
cial loss to the farmers every year.
By their poor condition at most sea-
sons of the year, the farmer is often
compelled to sell his products at the
nearest town or station. and the
buyer at such points, knowing that
it is next to impossible for the farm
er TO transport his crop to a more
distant market and thus obtain
better prices, has him at his mercy;
and pays him just what he pleases.
Another point where the farmer
loses money by the poor condition
Of the roads is the loss of time and
money in transporting his crops to
market. How often have we seen
farmers struggling to town through
mud and slush with perhaps only
thirty or forty bushels Of grain in
