cause these people dislike trees in front OF their
houses, but because they do not realize how
much trees would add to the attractiveness of
the streets.
For the benefit Of such persons The Tribune
reproduces to-day photographs Of some streets
on the favored West Side of the city, where
trees have been planted with the usual result
OF not only enhancing the beauty Of the view
but adding materially to the value and desira-
bility of the property. The weary househunter

nearly all Of them look much alike TO him

There are few persons. indeed, to whom the
sight OF the unfolding leaf buds does not bring
pleasure in the springtime. Few also. except the
street-sweepers perhaps who do not feel senti-

angular look Of wholly built-up street by tree

their good example. The cost is trifing ana the
result immensely gratifying.
One OF the reasons why the West Side Is par
ticularly well suited to the growth OF shade
trees is the fact that its streets are not over

art; but Rome remains a centre of vital energy
where worldwide interests are pulsating rest
lessly. and where one may dream Of the future
because the present is so real and earnest. 1t is
the pulse Of the workaday world which one feels
in London. where all the business interests of
nations seem to centre. Rome Is a centre of
thought and life rather than OF trade. industry
and fnance-thought which shapes and directs
the energies of humanity-life which has been
continuous for ages and which will never end.
Rome may be materlalistic and med@val, but It
absorbs light from every quarter of the world
and reflects not little of 1t. II broadens the
intelligence and intensnes the sensibilites Of
every visitor. It explains the past, mirrors the
present and forecasts the future. and never
loses its own immutable character

does not tend much to wanton destruction as
II does in boys who have not proper playtnlngs.
There is still another noticeable feature OF lie
on the West Side which works for instead OF
against the life OF a shade tree, and that Is the
comparative scarcity of street hucksters. with
their raucous cries and half-starved horses. the
bark of young tree is to one of these hungry
nags as mince pie to a vagrant. And the owner
IS not at all averse. oftentimes. to allowing his
steed to gnaw at the trunk as long as MS teeth
can stand IT. In those parts Of the city where
cheap flats abound the huckster fairly swarms,
but on the West Side his customers are few and
far between Consequently his yells only pierce
the ear at intervals and his horse has little time
to devote to the shade trees.
Housewives and housemaids on the West Side
will tell you that the task Of keeping their
rooms free from dust is easier there than III
other parts of the city, because the streets nave

POSTMASTER AT KNOB.
A Shortage of 5000 Found in His
Accounts,

REDDING. Sept. 13.-The Govern
ment Postoffice Inspector has discover
ed a shortage of 5000 in the accounts
of G. NJ. Green at Knob postoffice, at
Harrison Gulch. Green conducted a
general store in connection with the
postoffice and was in the habit Of mix
ing the money of his departments. 1t
is generally believed that this is how
the shortage really occurred, and that
no crimfnality was intended. His
bondsmen will make the shortage good,
though Green has already reimbursed
the Government to a considerable sum.
1t is not likely that his bondsmen will
prosecute him, though they will ask
for the appointment Of a new PostmaS-
ter.
