TREE NOTES.
Some Timely Hints for Las Vegas
People to Consider. :;

II tree is planted in a road tfin
it-up so as tc allow passageway
underneath for public travel. You viii
thus decrease profanity on the part Of
the woman with the high hat, The
traveller with the umbrella, and the
honest. law abiding citizen who rides
his bicycle on the sidewalk.
There should be Gatling gun kept
in the house of every citizen who can
boast living tree, and the horse and
COW, and the various forms OF boys
who spend their evil lives killing trees,
should be obliterated and over them a
coroner's inquest should be. deemed
an entirely superHuous ceremony.
Nature knows more about trees than
any tlse of us and if she had thought
best 20 have a tree look like a pollard
willow she w5uld have made them sr
4 pollard willow is all right for the
making of baskets, but this utiiitarian
mrsi|ation should not be practired ur
trees intended for ornament Look
at.the graceful naples and elms tnat
grow up in the fields and hedge rows
md Try and believe that you can i'm
prove the appearance of tree by tie-
nriving it of this graceful beauty.
Don't listen to the jackanapes who
tells you that you ought to cut of the
roots of tree close to the trunk A
walking stick planted head down is
about as likely to live and thrive as a
tree with roots thus mangled. You.
might as well expect a man to live
after he had been deprived of three.
quarters of his stomach. Have all
the roots you can get on tree; the
more the better. Cut off some of the
branches of the tree if you can do SO
without destroying its symmetry. If
ii has plenty of roots on it you can
safely leave all of its branches on.
Another method commonly prac-
ticed to kill trees is to-pack the earth
down solid. on the surface above the
roots, and as the summer heat comes
on the ground bakes and becomes i'm
pervious to air and moisture and the
tree simply smothers. Sometimes this
planter chokes the tree to death by
allowing a heavy, clotted sod to creep
up to the trunk and draw the moisture
away from the roots until they are as
dry as an ash heap. If none Of these
means of death succeed, the butchers
thug, or the young fiend who drives
the grocery wagon will calmly allow |
his attendant equine demon to eat the |
tree, while he is believing soft gro |
Gerry or butchery nothings to the maid |
servant at the kitchen door. If, BY |
any miracle, the tree survives these |
Iethal attacks, the lurking incarnate
devil of COW steps in and claims |
her revision. If, by miracle upon
miracle, the tree runs the gauntlet Of
III Of these evils, the small boy stands
ready to NOW the tree down in sheer
innocent exuberance.

Disagreement over the Monex blank.

Des Moines, Ia, May S-When the
democratic state convention met today
fight seemed impending over the
money plank in the platform. One
faction wanted a mild re-affirmation of
the Chicago platform only, while an
other, led by John S. Murphy, insisted
on distinct pronouncement for the
16 to I ratio. ]. B. Sullivan, tempor-
ary chairman, did not mention 16 to /
in terms, but spoke in favor of bimetal-
lism and against any restriction of the
circulating medium.

The Nervous Child.

I have and again seen instances
Of breakdown in young people. which by judi
cious management, moral and physical, on
the part Of the mother could have been averted.
/ know of circumstances which deeply af-
feet the nervous health and the happiness.
present and future, OF the child the intimate
domestic relations with the parent 1t seems
possible for most children to bear a great deal
Of disappointment outside Of the domestic life
when they feel Of moral support at home.
We hear much of young girls not being I'M
derstood in their homes that we too apt to
make light Of and call it a foolish within, and
eften without injustice; but, the other hand,
1t Is equally true that fretfulness. obstnacy,
capriciousness. unwise 1nbitons and ftfulness
are often rather the outcome of disordered nerv-
systems than the manifestations Of badly
balanced character.
Now 1t Is that the mother often falls to un-
derstand exactly how to treat the child and is
too likely to make mistakes, which frequently
come perilously near being sad and rrevocable
ones. 1t Is essential that she learn to dis
criminate between what is really perverseness
on the one hand and the result Of upset nerves
on the other: for, while the former requires
moral correction, the latter demands q diYerep<
care The physical well the moral con-
ditions need attention.-John H. w. Rhein, M

One WOman's Method.

some women turn as naturally to manage
ment as some men do to diplomacy One
managing mother, whose home sits near the
summit Of Piety Hill. has established pri-
vate signals for the sercret direction Of
domestic affairs. The code covers a great
deal of ground and smooths q great many
emergencies. 1t may be questionable under
tho test OF good form and it occasionally
develops unpleasant situations. An example
OF the latter fact was recently afforded.
There was company for dinner. No sig
nal was called from the head of the table
until the hot biscuit was brought In. The
husband was Just reaching for one of the
steaming delicacies when the wife quickly
remarked: IF. X. O."
Have we any stale bread?" asked the
husband meekly. as he withdrew his empty
hand. Il think it is better for me-" All
the others of the household expressed a
half-hearted desire for bread until little
Johnnie had a chance at the biscuit. He
boldly reached for one when a stern "F. K
O." stopped him.
Blamed funny" he growled, that we
can't have 'nough biscuit to go round"
L. T. T." sternly from the mother caus-
ing Johnnie to slide sulkily from his chair.
while he wanted to bet he'd have what he
wanted to eat and enough Of it when he
grew up.
The guests smiling led the conversation
away from the incident, but one Of them
was the husbands boyhood chum and the
two had an executive session over their
cigars. "Alfce is a good wife and a great
manager, but a crank on some things. f.
K. o. Is family keep on and that is why
we refused the hot biscuit. The cook had
failed to provide enough. Johnny gave the
snap away, and that L. T. t. told him to
leave the table. The whole thing is as
Transparent as hole in a ladder, but It
pleases her. and I've discovered that 1t
generally pleases visitors. Detroit Free
