quently means to make them contcnted.
Trees and flowers affect the character
Of those that live among them. II a
care OF such things Is necessary In the
East, where trees and plants naturally
abound, II Is the more necessary In the
West, where homes have been estab-
lishod on plains that were once treeless
and swept even now by drouth-breed-
ing winds.
In planting trees in regions that
have before been t~reeless many adverse
conditions have to be overcome. In
the first place the soil Is covered with
a sod, and this Is not a promising
condition for tree growth. The soil Is
not naturally In the condition where
Il will hold water, for II lacks humus.
The best way to overcome these OBJ
stacles is To plant the trees close to-
gethcr. so that II will be impossible for
grass to thrive In their shade. This
OF course does not include such trees
as the cottonwood. In planting thick
cts II is advisable to get rid of the
grass at the beginning and give the
trees a fair chance.

In the effort to change b~leakness
into beauty the greatest ally is the
tree. The tree Is the easiest to- estab-
fish because II can send down its roots
long distances into the moist subsoil,
and will exist when smaller plants per-
ish with the drouth. The trees once
established protect smaller plants that
are afterward set out and become the
sturdy barriers against destructive
winds and whitening heat. Trees,
however, must be themselves protected
and fostered till they have obtained a
Hrm hold of the soil and have estab-
lishcd the ability of appropriating Tho
soil water.

belongs to the order pachydermata-
that therefore he will endure all kinds

profit for his keeping. Some Of US
have come to regard the hog as a col

They were very confident that it was inn

this fact that they flew flag of deflnce.
Plans were carefully laid and , o'clock
the next morning the command was
aroused. \ party of the troops under
command of Lieutenants Crockett and
Sullivan were sent around to get posi-
ton where they could attack the right

placed to the left and rear. At daybreak
the troops IN front of the enemy's posi-
ton opened up fire. which was quickly

paid particular attention 70 the troops
in their front, so much so, in fact, that
they paid no attention to the other troops.
Pretty soon they received hot fire from
the flank and became demoralzed. They
fled to the only apparently safe place,
only to be scooped in by the scouts
Several were killed and ten were cap
tured, together with IS rifles and 500
rounds of ammunitation. This all oc-
Cured without single casualty on the
side of the the Americans.
The command embarked for Iloilo. and
after fighting their way down the river
arrived in time to receive orders to pro

miles, to round up some ladrones, who
had gone into the town with the lnten-
ton of enriching themselves at the eX-

much disappointed at their success, as
we arrived in time to check their depre-

our breakfast, and by orders of provost
marshal had a rest from duty for three
days, company F of the 18th regiment

Adit. Gen. T. :. Peck Resigns.
Gen. Theodore 5. Peck has resigned as
adiutant and inspector general of Yer
mont, the resignation taking effect Oct.
l, when he went on the retired list.
Gen. Peek is the Oldest Acknowledgement
in tenure of Office IN the United States,
with the single exception of the adiutant-
general of New Jersy, where the
position is for life. Gen. Pecks com.
mission dates back to 1881, and he has
thus served in this capacity for the long
term of nineteen years. His connection
with the military department dates back
much further, for he enlisted when
mere boy in the First Vermont cavalry
at the outbreak of the war for the union.
His family objected on account of his
youth and his enlistment was not ac-
complshed until after five separate at
tempts. one of which involved walking
from st. Adams to Burlington on the
railroad track. Gen. Peck's whole life
has thus been connected with military
affairs, and his retirement removes the
most familiar and widely known name
from the active roster. In his last Of
fetal report Gen. Peek SAYS: ! believe
that the First regiment infantry, Yer
mont National Guard, as 1t stands today
is the finest organization the state has
ever had in its military service. Many
of its OH GERS served in the United States
volunteer army during the late war
with Spain, and among non-commission-
ed officers and priYates is large
representation of soldiers who had the
same experience. The regiment, as a
whole, is composed of patriotic, earnest
and faithful men, who are ready at all
times and In all places to defend their
country's flag.

THE OTHER WAY.

We shall have to revise our idea about
the desertion of the country and the
flocking to the towns. Like many
another delusion hard figures upset this.
The new United States census shows
that the l55 largest cities in the United
States gained 4,70G,l07 in population
from 1850 to 1890, and 4, 2G7 ,593 from
1890 to 1900. That is, the igain of these
great cities at the expense of the rest of
the country was less absolutely and very
much less proportionately in the decade
Just ended than in the decade before.
OF course, the country, as well as the
city, gained absolutely in population.
Does this foreshadow reflex wave of
migration from the cities to the country?
In fact, has not such move already set
in? The swift taking up of the "aban-
doned farms" of New England is one
token of it. Not all of the new pro-
prietors are mere summer soiOurners.
The Immense growth of the woodruff
suburbs, which every great city in the
nation is experiencing, is another sign of
the drift from brick walls to the area of
green grass, tree and gardens.
III III were not Tor the neaVN lmmlgra-
ton from Europe, the great cities would
not show a very rapid rate of increase in
their inhabitants. The immigrants who
are coming now, unlike their pre-
decess Ors, do not come to take up farms.
They hive, most of them, in city slums
already overcrowded. They are fasci-
mated far more than the native born by
the glare and the excitement Of city life,
even city life under hard conditions.
They are far more gIegariOus.
AS rule it is the native families or
the families of the older and established
foreign stock which quit the city for the
country. The clOse-built streets and the
roar of its traffic have lost their attrac-
ton to them from long familiarity.
They can make their income go further
in the suburbs, or in the country, they
have found. They can have more com
Portable social life. Their children will
enjoy better chance to romp and exer-
cise-and in these days good schools,
churches and libraries are everywhere.
SO it is not surprising that the census
figures show a significant check in the
cityward drift of population. In the

night at the opera house to a large

ance. Mr.. D'Ormond is an actor of
no mean ability. In the character OF
D'Artagnan, the %rollicking, love max

mas, he was perfectly at ease and
brought forth rounds of hearty APP
plause. He is all that could be asked
for. Miss Agnes Fuller as Anne of

that difficult role, and gave an excel

who acted both parts with case and
grace, and Fred G. Molynieux, who
played the part of Cardinal Richelieu
