Trees planted along streets, when prop
erly placed and cared for work a large

the history of cities like Washington and

The rewards in military and naval serv
vice are very unequal. Lieutenant Com
mander Calkins, for example, guided the
whole squadron through the darkness
into Manila bay and afterwards through
out the fight. There was nothing pic
turesque in this display of skill, and
Calkins got nothing. Lieut.. Niblack, Of
the navy captured the Filipino town of
1loilo, hoisted the flag, and was in pos
session five hours when Col. Miller, of the
army arrived, and, outranking Niblack
assumed command. Miller was made
brigadier general for this service, and
Niblack gOt-nothing.
The other day, among the "Glances,"
Ben Kings poem, 'The Pessimist," was
printed Herewith THE Optimfst." from

thor, is given:

days ago with a cargo of $463, 900 worth
of railroad cars, built IN this country
for the New Zealand government No
ship of war is necessary to crowd trade
upon that distant English colony The

who governs. That trade follows the
flag is one Of those half truths calculat-
ed to do much mischief. 1t IS dazzling
Europe today and squirting the powers to
enormous sacrifice of life and treas
IRE to place their respective flags in far
off islands. People do not buy goods on
sentimental grounds, but on business
principles. In real life we buy where we
think We can get the best value for our
money The nearest store does not get
our trade if one a few blocks beyond
does better. The New Zealand people
found that they could do better here than
in England.
