No Arbor Day obssrvsnces-bs the
SCHOOL committee has not funds enough
at command TO pay for itf
Nonsense!
Maybe the committee hasn't the funds.
The people VIII take their word for that
But that is no reason why there should
be no Arbor Day oslsbratiop.
We understand that the Arbor Day OBJ
servances OF ths past have cost spproxi-
mately the modest sum of $500. The moss
siQninoant features OF the observances,
that contributed by the school children
them selves. cost practically nothing. The
music and certain other accessories desir'
able In their way, call for the greater
rart Of whatever appropriation Is made.
We may thus have m Arbor Day oeie-
bration withoat even so mucn expense as
$500. But there will doubtless be way
found to have all the features ana still
meet the bills. At any rate the observ-
anoe ought not to To passed.
We recall when, one year, for some
reason or another. diplomas were denied
the graduating clssses of the pubic
schools, the city declining TO go to the
expense OF printing and furnishing the
certificates The graduating GLASSES.
however, promptly offered to pay for
thier diplomas and we believe tho author
tiles suffered them to do 1t. AT any rate
the diplomas were on hand suitably en-
crossed whom graduation day came round.
Doubtless, now, the school children viii
have their ATbor Dav celsbration this
year.
But the public will not take kindly to
the suggestion that Arbor Day observ-
ancss be insured by tax upon the
children, however ohesrfully such tax
would probably be assumed. The children
certainly furnish their share OF the public
entertainment with their services. But,
however IL may be accomplished the Gel.
ebration Of Arbor Day ought to be made
as usual And there is not too much
time to talk about IL.
Some one must propose y plan. The
public will back up the genius required
to finance a $500 transaction Of this
nature. The cost u petty. The Observance

A DREAM RUDELY BROKEN.
Discouraging Result ofan Old Gentle-
mans Kindly Courtesy,

She was remarkably pretty little girl OF
about ten years and when the big policeman
lifted her onto the cable car, at Broadway
and Thirty-fourth street, there were several
rlances of admiration cast mt the chic little
figure in red. Sitting down domurely between
a dapper young man and shop girl with
day off, she began to unto the strap that held
her school books. The old gentleman oppo-
site looked up from his paper and forgot to
look back again. Her deep baby eyes and
brown curls with the little face that bore
such childishly happy expression held mis-
attention. The little girl glanced across and
noticing his appreciative gaze, smiled very
prettily The old gen ileman smiled in return.
His face was ruddy and bronzed with an open
country look that occasional city visits could
not efface. The shop girl on the ether side Of
the car. who was physiognomist from habit.
had put him down as bachelor
The composition book Of the little girl fell
to the floor Of the car. In an instant the-old
gentleman was down ON one knee picking up
the scattered sheets. The dapper young man
had also reached down. but the old mans
nirnbleness gained him the victory, and it
seemed to afford him a surprising amount OF
satisfaction. He gravely handed over the
sheets one by one, and was rewarded by
most enhancing smile. When the conductor
came around. and the little girl had some
what reluctantly found the nickel in her
small purse, he felt something pressed into
his hand and passed on with an unconscious
look. The old gentleman sat back. he
looked less intently. perhaps mvre fondly, at
the little girl IN the red jacket.
The girl who worked In the department
store would have said he was dreaming with
his eyes on the clustering curls. She thought
ii quite permissible that an old bachelor should
dream at the signt of pretty little girl. who
smiled sweetly. But then it is possible
that even an amateur physiognomist may be
sentimental The old gentleman was awak
ened from his dream by the little girl leaving
the car. He gave her one last smile and
turned to look after her out of the window.
The child saw a companion on the corner
and running toward her cried in q shrill
voice. audible to all:
Oh, Name. got on to the old guy there, that
tried to make a mash with me.
There was loud laugh ana the smart
young man irreverently remarked something
about beginning early. The dreamy look
had fed from the old mans eyes, but he left
the ear at the next street with the face of a
stole. And the conductor forgot to stop for
the next six would-be passengers. The Sun.
