ArbutuS.

On Wednesday afternoon the
schools were closed and the teach
ers and scholars were loaded in
to wagons and taken to where
Trailing Arbutus grows in great
profusion. In the evening this
sweet scented flower was taken
to the Advancement Association
rooms, where it was made up IN
to button hole boquets by the
teachers and some of the scholars
and tagged with a littlecard, up
on which was printed: "Compli-
ments of Eagle River Advance
ment Association" Thurs day
morning the arbutus was ship
ped by express to Milwaukee
and with the flowers sent
from Stevens Point on the same
day were distributed Frid a y
morning to thousands of Mil
waukee citizens. Here is what
the Milwaukee Journal has to
say III regard to it:
Between 5000 and 10000
punches OF arbutus were given
away this morning at the Carnl-
val headquarters at the Hotel
Pfster. People came for it sing
" and in groups and in crowds;
business men, women in their
carriages, shop-girls, everybody
wanted it.
If it has been question wheth-
er people have really appreciated
having given to them what the
east is paying as much for as ev-
er it paid for yiolets in early vio-
let season-but the question van
ished this morning The eager
ness of those who came, the de
light with which they received
the fragrant clusters of pink and
white and green, and the fact
that everybody knew about it
pointed to the undoubted APP
probation. On the streets every
body has had a bit about the
coat lapels, and people half sr1l1l-
ed at each other up and. down
the street, because people were
all wearing pretty sprays.
It is all ve1v prettv,, this arbu-
tus idea, and nobody can say too
much about theestablishment of
a custom which touches every
body, and means far more than
meets the eye. It is a bitpathet-
ic that people are SO shy Of kind
nesses of this sort that no end OF
little shop girls and even older
people went by the Carnival
headquarters door two or three
times this morning before they
could be sure it was all meant
seriously. But they did-and
some of them stood on the other
side of the street till the rooms
were closed at noon, and two
small boys were stationed out
on the sidewalk before the Pts
ter to give it away to those who
passed. Then they had courage
to cross and to take the gener-
Gus punches. Milwaukee ows a
debt to the Wisconsin valley
which it will be along time pay
ing, though it would be glad to
begin to day.
With the Eagle River contribu-
ton which arrived to-day came
this letter:

lzee Carnival Association Milwaukee, Wis.,

and good will to many of Milwaukee citizens
