The Tree Lover.

Who loves a tree he loves the life that
springs in star and clod:
He loves the love that gilds the clouds
and green's the April Sod
He loves the Wide Benehcence. His soul
takes hold on God.
A tree is one of natures words "a word
of peace to man,
word that tells of central strength
from whence all things began,
A word to preach tranquility to all our
restless clan.
All, bare must be the shadeless ways. and
bleak the path must be.
OF him who, having open eyes, has never
learned to see,
And so has never learned to love the
beauty of tree.
It's we'll for man to mix with men, to
drive his stubborn quest
In harborei cities where the ships come
from the East and West.
To fare forth where the tumult roars,
and scorn the name of rest.
It's well the current of his life should to-
ward the deeps be whirled,
And feels the clash of alien waves along
its channels swirled
And the confluX of the eddies of the
mighty-fowing world
But he is wise who, mid what noise his
winding way may be.
Still keeps a heart that holds nook OF
calm serenity,
And an inviolate virgin soul that still can
love Il tree.
Who loves a tree he loves the life that
springs in star and clod,
He loves the love that Silds the Clouds
and green's the April sod;
He loves the Wide Beneficence. His soui
takes hold on God.

President and NJ. Cambon, both
the French government and the
Spanish government have beer
fully apprised of the action taken
at Washington and it is not I'M
probable that Spain within the
next two or three days will take
another important step forward by
voluntarily suggesting what terms
OF peace she will regard as consis-
tent.
The yellow fever conditions are
being suggested as one reason fa-
vorable to the conclusion Of peace,
for it is being urged that the ma
terial advantages which the United
States will gain by continuing the
war will be heavily Offset by the in
roads Of disease. Another point
being urged in favor of peace set
Element is that the aspect of the
war will be even more glorious, a
tribute to high aims of the govern.
ment, if it deals in spirit of mag

is said also that Spain is so
completely humbled and so power
less to further continue the war
that the United States can secure
through peace negotiations every
thing which even prolongation of
war would ultimately make posi-

the cost of paving Catherine street
and Mccoy avenue was something
over S.. 500.
The wharf will be a substantial
one, and one of which any city might
we'll feel proud to possess. 1t will
increase the river traffic materially
and enhance the value of property
on Water street to wonderful de-
gree.
Mr.. Atwood, superintendent OF
the city water works, will tender
his resignation at the next regular
meeting of the city council. The
reason for this is the fact that Mr.
Atwood expects to leave the city
on or about September Ist. He
has, during his short stay in office
made a creditable record. His
management has been satisfactory
to both the council and the public
However, he has purchased fol
himself a nice little farm in the
Buckeye state and will move to it
he being tired of public life.
