A Notable Pen.

Among the effects of thelate Count Falkenhayn, which have just been sold by auction in Vienna, was the pen which was used at Paris on Sep tember 26, 1915, by Emperor Fran cis l., Czar Alexander L, and King Frederick William III. of Prussia in appending their signatures to the treaty of the Holy Alliance. The bidding started at 125 francs, and the relic was knocked to Consul General yon Lindheim for 800 francs.

such corruption. Truth is ever stronger than falsehood. No citizen can afford to shirk his duty because he may deem 1t un- pleasant. He is untrue to himself and to his unborn babe when he fails to utter his protest at the pallot-box against infamy and wrong No man can be true Amerl- can citizen and shirk the duties that be- long to such citizenship! The right of suffrage is the most sacred right of citi- zenship and upon it the life, liberty and happiness of the American government and ,ople devolve. Corruption cannot over c )me honor, but villainy and infamy can not be conquered by silent protest and cowardice. The true citizen is always prepared to act well his part and to per form every duty that his coantry may de- mand.
 The press cannot, alone of itself, protect the inherent rights of the people. It must nave the earnest SuppOI1 Ol OuO SloiA0ho of the community The pulpit cannot chris tianize the world without the cordial aid and heartfelt support of the occupants of the pew. Neglect of duty on the part of the good citizen will not inspire love of law in the breast of the lawless. Every man is ready to do great deed that will win fame and wealth Only the true man is watching to do right under all circum- stances. The true heroes of this life are often unknown. The fakes aud shysters often have marble monuments marking their graves with epitaphs that are false and count for nothing.
 Hypocrisy cannot beget honor or man. hood. The citizen who is untrue to the duties of state, because he claims bad men rule, is the alder and abettor of the bad men. His silence is a positive endorse ment of their acts Uriah Heep was first a hyBocrite and sneak then emboldened by success, became a criminal. So with a citizen, first neglect and then criminalty. Pure citizenship means honest, upright officials and good government

GOOD CITIZENSHIP A NECESSITY

GOOD CITIZENSHIP A NECESSITY
 The people of the United States owe to
 their own folly the wrongs from which they suffer. If every voter would vote for the best men, and not wait to be begged {, oar land would be stronger and truer to their duties. If the people demand honesty aud capability from an official, the people themselves must display their honesty and wisdom at the ballot box. Like begets like.
 Worthy and manly men will not beg or buy position. The man who seeks position for what is in it to him alone, will make the place repay every dollar, with interest, what it has cost him. We have heard men telling how easy it was to beguile and deceive the so-called ''lords of creation" The influence of party ties are strong in the hearts of all men and aid bad men often in securing the ballots of honest citizens. Hence the duty of every citizen is to in- vestigate for himself the moral character of candidate. Do this work in a manly way; not as a sneak or detective. h. quire of his friends as well as his foes as position he seeks. Make your choice with the sole purpose of securing the most capa- ble man for ehe office. Then work for his nomination and election as a citizen who Is seeking the best interests of town, city, county, state or nation. Don't go to him and tell him how influential and popular you are, and that you are supporting him because you have investigated the qualid- cations of the different candidates and that in your judgment he is best qualified for tue position, and then wind-up by pulling his leg" for the price of your vote.
 The candidate will know that you are liar; that you possess no popularity and that you have no influence over the hum blest creature in your community; that i you are for sale and like some political shysters that we have met in our travels, won't stay sold after you are bought. Tie last fellow that "sees you" gets you. This creature, we are pained to say, exists in | almost every community. He is incapable of mprehending the duties of citizenship. l He is ever found opposing right and up holding wrong; he is an opponent of the public school; he is bitter enemy of the press and the church, and in the whole i course of his mean, miserable life meyer did an unsellsh act.
 Many good men, men who wield an in flaence for good, and who are respected in the community in which they live for their nobility, have allowed themselves to forget the duty they owe to their government and to posterity by neglecting their right of suffrage. They claim as an excuse that gusted with the whole thing" These men are radically wrong and commit grave error. If their officials are corrupt, by their silence and inaction they endorse

CHILDREN'S ILLUSIONS.
Curious Paraphrasing of Song in a
 Youngsters Mind.

"I was interested in the memories of childhood that 1 read about in the Nosegay column the other day." said young woman. q, too, like the law yer whom you quoted, misunderstood the words of many prayer and hymn when 1 was small. Do you remember Bringing in the Sheaves,' the song about sowing seeds of kindness in the morning, and in the evening coming home rejoicing, bringing in the gar nered sheaves? Well, l, as young ster, thought it was 'wringing out the sheets instead of bringing in the sheaves,' and l used to sing 'wringing out the sheets lustily. The sowing of the hymn was sewing in my mind, and 1 connected that in a vague way with the sheets that later were being wrung out. l had in my childhood two great fears. They visited me, l believe, three or four times week, and they had the power to make the brightest day gloomy. One was a fear that I should awake in my bed some night to find that all my family had deserted me. l used to wonder to what orphan asylum or poorhouse I should go in that event. The other fear was that my father was a drunk ard. I had found a whisky bottle in his desk one day, and for years after that 1 dreaded that l should.see him come reeling home some time, a crowd of jeering boys at his heels. Nothing ever came of those two fears, but I can't tell you how they made me suf- fer. Childlike, I never breathed a word of them to anyone" "-Philadel- phia Record.

DAMAGE TO TREES BY ICE.
Destruction Wrought During Past Win ter Unusually Widespread.


 So-called ''icestorms," in which great damage is done to trees by the weight of the frozen rain on their branches, are common in many parts of the United States, notably in New England. The storm of February 21 of the present year seems, however, to have been unusually widespread and to have ruined trees in places where this kind of injury is seldom done. In ! Forestry and Irrigation Herman Ii. Chapman writes as follows on the sub- ject:
 ''To calculate the forces which caused such destruction, number of twigs were cut transversely and dia- grams made of the thickness of the twig and the ice incrustation. The ice is of about the same weight as the wood of a green twig. Calculat- ing from the relative area in cross section, it was found that twigs one eighth of an inch thick were carry ing from 30 to 40 times their weight of ice, those one-fourth of an inch thick 20 times their weight and those one-half of an inch thick five times their weight. While the exact calcu- lation would be rather difficult, it is safe to say that branches one inch thick were called upon to support weight over ten times as great as usual, and possibly twice as much.
 ''In addition to this enormous bur den, the surface of the crown or branches was increased over fivefold, thus multiplying the effect of the wind by that factor. The wonder is that any limbs were left.
 Forest trees depend very largely on one another for protection from such unusual conditions. Where the trees grew thick and undisturbed the protection from the wind was so com plete that much fewer and smaller branches were broken, but where man stepped in and Improved the woods by cutting out the underbrush and saplings and leaving only the grand old trees in their majestic beauty, nature took especial pains to point out the error of his ways, and most of these grand old trees are now more fit for scarecrows than for shade. That wind and ice are not the only enemies that Improving gives a chance was shown by the fact that nearly all the limbs broken off showed rot in their interior The drying soil, the grass and the exposure following thinning had already gotten in their deadly work, and it needed only the storm to reveal it. If man wants a park, let him keep the whole wood, or raise new one. Improvements are seldom accepted by nature."
