ABOUT TREES.

Professor Kern Believes That They
Would Thrive Here-A study.
In the opinion of Superintendent
Kern the only season why trees and
plants can not be grown In Butte is
that not sufficient care and attention
are given them. Mr.. Kern made prem
arations on Arbor day to give tree
growing a thorough test in Butte and
as soon as the present winter weather
is over he intends planting a number
of trees at his home on the west side
In ground he especially prepared on
Tuesday. He believes that with proper
care trees can be made to grow in
Butte as we'll as in any other part of
the state. and II he can make a sue
cess of IL he hopes others may be en-
couraged to follow the example. Mr..
Kern is also demonstrating what may
be done in the way of window garden
ing and nearly every school room in
the city has its gardens of growing
grasses, plants, grain. ETC., and the pu-
pills find them better than books in
studying the growth and nature Of veg
citation, besides adding a cheerful APP
pearance to the otherwise dingy school
rooms.
Many Of the lower grades are at
present engaged in studying the devel-
opment of certain life and are using

eight stages of the growth and deveI-
opment of the frog are studied and
sketched and in the short course de-
voted to this particular study the pu-
pills gain more knowledge of it than
in a year Of study from books. In
some of the school rooms the frog rails
ing industry has not been a success as
is shown by a black bordered notice
received by the superintendent, read
ing as follows:

Flowers gay. children bright,
IT'S a pleasant sight.
Help us keep Arbor day,
Deck the rooms with flowers gay,

Thomas Shields VIII Probably Not Hold
the Letters OF Administrator.
A few days ago Thomas Shields filed
in court a petition to be appointed adj
M 'strator of the estate of James w.
X .leen, deceased. and claimed that he
was a creditor of the estate, and filed
the petition at the request of Mrs. KEEL
leen and her daughters. Special letters
were issued to Shields. but yesterday
there were developments that may end
in trouble for him. Mrs Kelleen was
sick in bed when Shields applied for
letters of administration and when she
heard what he had done she denied that
she had requested him to act as admin
istrator and. on the contrary. had re-
fused to give her consent. She also de-
MED that he was creditor of the es-
tate When these statements were
made to Judge Mediation he issued an
order citing Shields to appear in court
Saturday afternoon to show cause why
the special letters issued TO him should
not be revoked. In the meantime let
ters of administration were also issued
to Harry Galloway. a nephew of Mrs.
Kelleen.

a razor, made a vicious lunge at him. The
tailor seized the negro and the latter,
bringing the keen blade down upon the
head of his captor. cut a hole In his hat
and slashed his clothing. When the tailor
released the burglar the latter fled pre-
ciptateiy. carrying with him the overcoat.
