Gardiner Herald: Tuesday is Arbor
day. and the day should be observed
for what it is intended by those owning
or caring for real estate. The trans
planting of young trees the setting out
of hedges, rose bushes and trailing
vines, should be accompanied by the
general clearing and cleaning up about
residences and lawns. 1t is the indiVi-
dual effort put forth in this direction
that counts, just as il is in any depart
ment of life. Make your own lawns
and residences look so neat and trim
that your sloVenly, lazy neighbor will
be ashamed of his own. And then if
the street department don't keep the
street in front of your home clear of
refuse and in good condition ii is your
privilege to criticise and complain of
this neglect. Your summer visitor will
soon he here and if this work is not
done he will think you are not yet out
of your winters nap. The city that is
kept clean and wholesome through the
individual pains of its citizens speaks
of thrift and enterprise at first glance
to the stranger.

Quires that they shall all be chained up

is not anticipated that any of them will
be put to serious trouble. Some of them
may be as resourceful as was Ben But
Ter when the Lowell city council past
an ordinance requiring, under a heavy
penalty, that all dogs running at large
should wear muzzles. Ben always re
spected the law. whatever it was; and,
the morning the ordinance went into
effect he walked down to his office, fol-
lowed by his big Newfoundland dog
fully complying with its provisions.
The animal wore a muZzle; but. in
stead of wearing it in the usual place
it was tied to the end of his tail. Sure
where the muZzle was to be worn, and
Benjamin had the better of them--aS
he usually did of those who matched
their wits against his. The Thomas
ton law requires that the dogs shall be
chained up, but it does not say, as re-
ported where the animal shall be kept
or what he shall be chained to. A To-
cal paper suggests that some Thomaston
man chain his dog to some article so
small that the animal can carry it With
him wherever he wants to go--Would
not that be sufficient compliance with
the terms of the ordinance?

UNCLE TOM AND'uITTtE EVA.
Performance Without the BlOodhounds
and Without the Ice at Harper's.

Performance without the Bl0odhounds
and Without the Ice at Harper's.
Davis Uncle Toms Cabin company
held the boards ut Harper's theatre
last night. 1t was a 10, 20 and
3O-cent performance. made up of
about 10 cents worth of Eva, 20 cents
worth of Topsy and the remaining 80
cents badly mixed between Uncle
Tom, George Harris. Simon Legree
and Aunt Ophelia. The patrons were
compelled to make allowances in some
respects, as for instance no ice ap-
peared for Eliza to make her treach-
erons way across. The audience,
however, forgave the omission. for
indeed it would be asking too much
to expect a road company to carry
ice this late in the season. Still. if
they have many frosts like they re-
ceived lastevening the denizens of Briar
Bluff and other towns on the route
may expect to see the real thing.
Then, too, there was an absence
of the fierce bloodhounds. True it is.
the performance was fierce" enough
to make up for the loss of the Zero
cious CANNES, but then when one con-
siders how tame the life of an Uncle
Tom s troupe must be to even the
hounds. we can hardly blame good
able-bodied dogs for giving up the
stage for the allurements of ChilkOot
Pass. Suffice to say. however. that
the company gets through the piece.
Occasionally the context of the famil-
lar lines is sadly marred, but so long
as little Eva loves dear old Uncle Tom
and that fantastic character of anti
bellum days expounds the teachings
of holy writ the mission has been per-
formed. and the auditors are satisfied
whether dramatic talent is displayed
or not.

Baseball has been dead issue in
these diggings the past two days-all
owing to weak. drizzling rain with
a chilly atmosphere on the side. Al
though the weather prognosticator
said that yesterday would he treated
to little more of the same. the man.
agement of the local club mustered
up sufficient courage to predict that
he would miss the mark for once:
that the sun would shine and that all
would be lovely at the Twelfth street
park. The diamond was gotten in
shape. and the players. with small
bunch of enthusiasts, assembled at
the battle-ground. only to have their
hopes shattered. 1t was another
pesky shower-just enough to stop
the deal.
One OF two things must come to
pass-either the weather regulator
will have to call halt or the baseball
club will have to go to work at some
other kind of employment. The sea-
son thus far has been anything but
encouraging to the financial end of
this amusement enterprise, and unless
conditions change mighty suddenly
the exchequer of the home club-and
1t is said the same situation exists
throughout the association-will be
pretty low. And it is a well known
fact that ball team cannot be run on
talk and bad weather.
