masterful manner by the ten-year-old
boy.
All the young people Of the United
States know about Arbor day and what
a delightful experience it is to have
the holiday, to speak pieces and plant
trees and put the flag up to wave over
the schoolhouse. and now | am going
to tell some stories about the youth Of
the originator Of Arbor day, says Lou

three years old the family removed to
Monroe, and it was in that place the
greater part Of his boyhood was spent.

her kind face beaming with pleasure.
''He obeyed his mother implicitly. Once
for some childish misdemeanor he was
hidden to sit in his little chair until
given permission to leave it. Then the
child's mother went from the room
and the mischieyous young Sterling's
uncles set their wits to work to make
their nephew disobey. They begged
they coaxed. they offered brides. spoke
enthusiastically of the wonderful things
to be seen out Of doors and ran to the
window to watch the strange people
passing, but their efforts were all in
vain, as the dear little fellow, with
faraway look in his eyes and his lips
closed firmly, remained in his chair
and refused to be tempted.
Sterling's uncle. Joe. aged sixteen.

A pleasant faced little man with mild
blue eyes that looked forth trustingly
at the strange sights Of the new world
stood in front Of the money changers
booth in the big immigration building
on Ellis island, says the New York
Evening Post. His wife, typical Ger
man woman, and three children form
ed patient waiting group behind him.
The man wore a suit Of ''cOpperas
jeans" stained and worn, top boots
and the high peaked cap Of the German
peasant. He was fumbling through the
pockets and in the hidden recesses Of
his garments and producing money.
Thalers, marks, imperial treasury notes
and goldpieces fell from his dirty fin
gers until tidy little heap was lying
on the counter.
Some of the immigration officers
standing near looked on in amazement.
The little German had seemed peculiar
ly unproductive soil for such harvest.
When he had done with his searching,
the immigrant had something over 5000
to be converted into United States
treasury notes. He grinned cheerfully
when the neat pile Of crisp green bills
was handed to him and, opening his
shirt, slowed the roll where he could
feel it next his body. He was an excep-
tionally wealthy immigrant. 1t is rarely
that such a comparatively large sum
is shown by any Of the Europeans who
become citizens via Ellis island and the
barge Office.
One of the last things asked the new
" arrived at Ellis island just before
their departure is whether they have
any money to be changed. They are
not compelled to change it, and many
refuse for fear Of being cheated. Thou
sands Of others avail themselves Of the
money changers services. His booth is
at the end Of the long examination
room and at the head Of the triple
fight Of stairs leading down to the
exit of the building to the boat landing.
ALI day long it is scene Of rushing ac-
tivity.
When the immigrants are examined,
they are asked to show what money
they have. Some Of them are crafty
and do not show all they have. Others
are more trusting and willingly display
their petty hoardings. The money is
carefully counted, record taken and
restored to them,
During the fiscal year ending June 80,
1901 there were landed at this port
3SS,031 immigrants. The money they
showed to the examiners amounted to

MARIS IS LEGAL JUSTICE.
Decision in LoveIock Case Rendered. by Judge
BOnuifieId.

In the District Court this morning
Judge s. ]. Bonnifield Jr. rendered his
decision in the quo warranto proceedings
of George Young VS.. b. C. Maris, insti-
tuted to determine which is the rightful
Justice of the Peace of Lake township
Govelock.)
Judge Bonnifeld's decision was in ia
vor of Mr.. Maris on every point. He is
declared to be the legal Justice and en-
titled to the emoluments of the office as
such.
The case is familiar to most of our
readers. George Young, who was elected
Justice of the Peace in 1900 to succeed
himself, failed to file the bond required
by law at the of the term
in 1901. AT the meeting of the Board of
Commissioners in May, this year, the
failure of Young to file the required bond
was brought to the attention of the
Board of Commissioners. The Office of
Justice of the Peace of Lovelock was de-
clared vacant by the Commissioners and
Il. C. Maris was appointed to fill the
vacancy for the unexpired term.
Since the action taken by the Board,
Lovelock has had dua Justices, Young
refusing to surrender the office. A
number of cases have been since tried
before him, the Constable there not rec
ognizing the Boards appointment of Mr..
Maris. The case just decided was
brought by Young to have Maris re-
strained from performing the duties of
Justice.
The decision upholds the action of tho
Commissioners in removing Young and
appointing a successor.
The case was a warmly contested le-
gal battle. Young was represented by
Judge M. s. Bonnifield and ]. F. Dennis
and Maris by District Attorney Hood
and c.. II. Mcintosh.
The case will PROBABLY be appealed to
the Supreme Court by Young. though
there would be little likelihood of a de-
cision being rendered before the present
official term expires.
Judge Bonnifield's opinion as rendered
is a plain and convincing statement OF
his view of the law in the case, and 1T
will doubtless be upheld by the Supreme
Court IL an appeal is taken.
The decision is one which will be re-
ceived with the greatest satisfaction by
the majority of the people of Lovelock
and elsewhere in the county.
