Lee Fairchild.

With a feeling akin to pain, readers
and non readers of the Forum received
the announcement last week of his
severance from all official connection
with that paper.
And now that he has proven him
self, so to speak, persona non g,ut0 in
that quarter, the JOURNAL is free to
say that 1t has from the beginning
recognized in Mr.. Failchild much
more than ordinary intellectual force
and socially really amiable gentle
man. OF kindly disposition, his i'm
pulses are refined and his nature so
good that perhaps he does injustice
sometimes by yielding too quickly and
freely to his immediate environment.
AS a writer his good natured wit
and kindly satire quickly raised him
to an altitude worthy of the serious at
tention of the paper that is uncon-
ditionally Independent and exclusively
great.
In his paper and on the stump last
fall he injected new element of life
into the political campaign. Once
billed for Music Hall, Baltimore, he
was held in Cumberland, the two de-
mands showing the esteem in which
his party held his services. :
His meeting on the stump with B.
A. Richmond at Barton will be long
remembered by those present. When
Fairchild had concluded his stirring
address the generous Richmond ad-
vanced and proffered the boquet which
had been presented to himself.
HIS early and strong advocacy of
McComas marked him as sagacious
and alert reader of the logic of the
situation.
But more than in all these things his
ready, accurate discernment is con,
spicuOus in his abandonment: of field
of journalism which was and is com.
pleiely pre-occupled by the paper that
is great.
The JOURNAL must not forget that
his verses, occasionally appearing II
the magazines, evince vein OF
thought he should develop until
coupled with his platform reputation,
his Literally fortune will be assured.
Although going, it is gratifying tc
state that he contempiates making his
summer home annually in Frostburg
And now it is only necessary to say
somewhat sadly, that Fairchild was
the Forum. To note separation OF
soul from body is in this case, it is
feared, an ante-mortem obituary.

Friday, the 29th of April, will be
observed in the schools by exercises
peculiar to the occasion, Arbor and
Bird Day. Something will undoubt-
edly be attempted in the way of
adjoining and identifying the limited
area of the school grounds by setting
out young trees and planting flower
seeds. Experience has not shown sat
isfactory results in this line, very few
OF the trees transplanteu starting any
new growth, and a large percentage
of those showing vitality, like the
good of the human race, die early,
Several causes for this failure to Sc
cure any satisfactory results are APP
parent: want Of care in the selection
Of the trees TO be transplanted
species, the size, the roots, exposure,
the preparation Of the soil in the
transplanting ground; neglect after
transplanting in a failure to supply a
sufficient amount Of moisture. But
there is still more powerful reason
for the failure to raise trees in school
grounds. The area OF the school
house lot is small AND the ground is
trampled hard by the busy feet Of
playful pupils, and, what is a fatal eff
| feet to the tree just putting out fresh
tendrils from the old roots, he tree Is
disturbed. The children catch hold of
the tree and break the fresh roots
away from their new hold upon the
soil. The only successful remedy for
this is to fence off the space planted
so that the ground and the trees may
not be disturbed In cities the condi-
tions may be such as TO prevent the
public from supplying any but a lin
tied area for school grounds, but in
the country two acres can be obtained
for a school lot without any difficulty.
This, if properly attended to, may be-
come in few years supplied with Wig
orous growing trees that will make a
beautiful park.

ONE OF TWO WAYS

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles.
So the womb, like the bladder, was Great
ed for one purpose, and if not doctored too
much is not liable to weakness or disease,
except in rare cases. 1t is situated back
of and very close to the bladder, therefore
any pain, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often by mistake, at
tributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To
find out correctly, set your urine aside for
tweuty-four hours; sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
The mild and extraordinary effect of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney,
and bladder remedy is soon realized. II
you need a medicine you should have the
best. At druggists, fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have sample
